A masterpiece that can get 8 points, and it is also one of the most underrated sequels. Many people only know that "The Shining" is a Kubrick film work, which is naturally true, but "The Shining" is a Stephen King novel first. work. And the sequel to Flanagan's film is more of a sequel to Stephen King's "The Shining". Of course, if you want to completely bypass Kubrick's "The Shining" and make a sequel, that's not a good idea. Realistic, so naturally there are video tributes such as the opening and ending, and in the novel version, the hotel was actually burned down because of the explosion of the boiler room, so this time Flanagan's ending can be considered to make up for the movie version. ending.
Everyone knows that it is not an easy task to make a 2 or a sequel to such a master work, so I think Flanagan has achieved a good balance between pleasing the play and the fans of the book. For domestic audiences, everyone still only knows that "The Shining" is a movie, not a novel. In fact, The Shining itself means the superpower in the film, so there is nothing strange about the superpower showdown in the sequel, and It doesn't feel very detached either. Do you want to see a remake of the first plot in a few decades? That certainly doesn't make any sense.
What I saw was the three-hour director's cut version. After reading it in one go, I felt it was very smooth. Although I don't know what more content is there than the theatrical version, the three-hour length really felt very smooth and took a long time. I have never seen such a movie where everyone's IQ is online, they can fight their wits and courage, and they are really worried about the characters in the film, because he takes care of the audience's IQ, and he can look down on the audience's IQ.
Although the movie is divided into six chapters, in my opinion, the movie is divided into three parts by the hour, and the three parts are really smooth. The introduction of the villain team is in place. In the second chapter, the two generations of protagonists finally meet, and the pros and cons also have their first confrontation. In the last chapter, the finale, I feel that everything is done in one go, and there are almost only a few pee spots. , and a lot of surprises
So I prefer to think of this sequel as a drama, not just a horror movie or a sequel to Kubrick's The Shining, that really doesn't make sense, and I don't think any director wants to say he's making one It's a sequel to a master masterpiece. It's really unnecessary. In this movie, I saw Flanagan's talent as a director, his storytelling ability, his control over shots and rhythms, and the retro feel of the movie. It's also just right. If you can, you can also watch this drama together with the 1997 "The Shining" mini-series, and you may have a different feeling!
