a little gap

Because I have read the original book, it is a movie with high expectations in my heart, but the result will be a big gap in my heart. First of all, compared with the original book, the movie has cut a lot of content, and the switching of editing and scenes does not make the story quite complete. If you have not read the original book, there may be jumps in many places. Once again, several designs that I think are very classic in the original work do not have a reasonable chance of appearing. The first one should be reredrum. In the original work, it is an important medium to promote Danny's entry into the Good Hope Hotel, and it is also a very gimmicky one. The concept, in the movie, only gave a meaning-like encounter; the connection between Jack and the Good Hope Hotel was not enough. In the original book, with the help of deduction, telephone and other aspects, Jack and the hotel are very three-dimensional and rich. It makes people go deep into layers, but the movie is very obvious, and the exaggerated dance cuts into the ball, which makes people a little bit painful; the Good Hope Hotel itself is also a very powerful existence, the beautiful scenery of the seasons, the remote paths, and the hidden stories and insider stories , The landing point of the topic has not been given sufficient and ideal performance in the movie. Let's talk about the comparison of characters. Jack has a relatively complete performance, but there are still shortcomings; the vagueness of the concepts of Danny, Tony and The Shining may be the most difficult for individuals to accept. The performance is half and half, lacking a little sense of maturity, the second is that there is no adequate and appropriate performance with Tony, and the three-dimensional sense of Shining and Danny is not well displayed, and the characters become much simpler; Wendy's multi-facetedness It was completely killed in the movie, and some were just exaggerated weakness and unscientific swinging; the most painful thing is that the black uncle (Halloran), the actor's performance is still quite powerful, and the later scenes are also given. It's too pitiful, it's a complete doll-like debut, and it lacks some feeling, or Fan.
It's getting late, maybe the shadow of the original work is heavier, but I really feel that there is a gap and tears run!

The Shining quotes

  • Jack Torrance: What are you doing down here?

    Wendy Torrance: [sobbing] I just wanted to talk to you.

    Jack Torrance: Okay, let's talk. What do you wanna talk about?

    Wendy Torrance: I can't really remember.

    Jack Torrance: You can't remember... Maybe it was about... Danny? Maybe it was about him. I think we should discuss Danny. I think we should discuss what should be done with him. What should be done with him?

    Wendy Torrance: I don't know.

    Jack Torrance: I don't think that's true. I think you have some very definite ideas about what should be done with Danny and I'd like to know what they are.

    Wendy Torrance: Well, I think... maybe... he should be taken to a doctor.

    Jack Torrance: You think "maybe" he should be taken to a doctor?

    Wendy Torrance: Yes.

    Jack Torrance: When do you think "maybe" he should be taken to a doctor?

    Wendy Torrance: As soon as possible...?

    Jack Torrance: [mocking/imitating her] As soon as possible...?

    Wendy Torrance: Jack! What are... you...

    Jack Torrance: You think his health might be at stake.

    Wendy Torrance: Y-Yes!

    Jack Torrance: You are concerned about him.

    Wendy Torrance: Yes!

    Jack Torrance: And are you concerned about me?

    Wendy Torrance: Of course I am!

    Jack Torrance: Of course you are! Have you ever thought about my responsibilities?

    Wendy Torrance: Oh Jack, what are you talking about?

    Jack Torrance: Have you ever had a single moment's thought about my responsibilities? Have you ever thought, for a single solitary moment about my responsibilities to my employers? Has it ever occurred to you that I have agreed to look after the Overlook Hotel until May the first. Does it matter to you at all that the owners have placed their complete confidence and "trust" in me, and that I have signed a letter of agreement, a "contract," in which I have accepted that responsibility? Do you have the slightest idea what a "moral and ethical principal" is? Do you? Has it ever occurred to you what would happen to my future, if I were to fail to live up to my responsibilities? Has it ever occurred to you? Has it?

    Wendy Torrance: [swings the bat] Stay away from me!
