Played a little clever, did not complete the task.

If you shoot according to the plot of the novel, the length of the movie is not enough, at least one season of American drama. In the choice of adaptation, the biggest regret is to abandon the plot of Danny's "Doctor Eternal Sleep". In the novel, because of the identity of "Doctor Eternal Sleep", Danny has a big move until the decisive battle is released, which is very enjoyable. Not in the movie, unfortunately.

Of course, "a movie is a movie, and a novel is a novel", but that makes "Doctor Sleep" awkward as a movie title. Moviegoers who haven't seen the original will feel that the title misses the point, and those who have read the original will feel that the title is not worthy of the title.

Then there's the speculative re-enactment of the Kubrick scene, which is useless to please the audience with a cheap tribute. I guess Danny and his dad didn't want that.

Doctor Sleep quotes

  • Crow Daddy: [Crow Daddy realizes Dan Torrance is talking through the captive Abra] Who are you?

    Abra Stone: I'm the guy who killed your friends.

    Crow Daddy: [seething] It's nice to meet you. Neat trick. Haven't seen this one before.

    Abra Stone: Wanna see one more?

    [Crow Daddy reaches for his gun]

    Abra Stone: I don't imagine Rose will be too happy if you shoot the prize.

    Crow Daddy: I don't suppose Rose will be happy about any of this. And when that woman gets mad... well... seems to me you know enough to know you might wanna sit this one out. Count your blessings, go on your way.

  • Rose the Hat: What's in those? Something special, huh?

    Dan Torrance: They're not special, they're starving!
