Agreed. I liked her performance and character. She is annoying in her own ways though as a career, and its not a surprise that Jack just has enough and mocks the shit out of her for it.

I just don't feel like I needed more of family drama here. I don't really care how Kubrick's movie ties into King's novel. I'm just enjoying the film for what it is. |

So you're saying that Jack was an abusive alcoholic at the time he married Wendy and theirs was always a bad relationship? Then where's the love that prompts him to clean up and seek a job that could set things right by his family? Isn't that the basic premise of why this family lands up at that place?

Yeah, I'm not sure why anyone would expect Kubrick to take a dramatic approach to the breakdown of the family unit. That's not the kind of filmmaker that he was.

It makes sense that a guy like this would pick a push over that would try to avoid conflict. That's the way I've taken it. Kubrick is only going to put so much emphasis on this because he is more interested in the visual aspects of his movie. Last edited by rocknblues81; 08-06-2018 at 08:29 PM. |

My impression of the film was that Jack was a pretty intelligent but messed up guy who had a problem with booze which lead him to take a crazy job in a remote hotel that happens to be "haunted", or it happens to accentuate all his problems and make them manifest in front of him and also in front the people close to him and who are affected by his problems. Kind of like the book. But better.

Agreed.
Especially because there's no reading involved when you watch Kubrick's movie. Who wants to read for twelve hours when you can be done with the story in two hours? I thought this was a movie forum? Where am I? BookRead.com or Blu-ray.com? ![]() |
