The Shining (9.5)





Again.... wanted to see this movie for long time... haha... the most well-known horror movie ever. Stanley Kubrick~~~ I learnt his name the first time from the Eye Wide Shut. I was 19. btw, (I never really see movies before my 18 coz my mother always says that's a waste of money.....) I fell asleep after 15mins from the movie started. And I thought.... um.... that's Stanley Kubrick. The second time I saw his movie was A Clockwork Orange!!!!!!!! It is such an amazing movie!!!!!




Shinning is the third (Lolita will be the fourth). I love it~~~ After 30 years' development of horror movie, the visual impact is already not as impressive as it could be when it just release I guess. But the twins girls, the blood burst out from the lift doors and the repeating sentence Jack typed are so unforgetable!~~ Maybe the director had thought about it already.... instead the best visual effect, it's the best use of pre-existing music ever assembled for a motion picture!!!! It's so inspiring!!!!

From the "Interview" scene, the atmosphere has already been created.... the cinematography in the movie were very simple but strong enough... The only thing i am not sure was the scene where the chief being killed.... I kinda think it is strange that the director spend a long time to tell how he rush back to the hotel but died all in a sudden. haha... Also, the release of Jack keep me thinking all the time, until now.... so funny, it seems that he make the scene to remind me it is a ghost movie afterall... not just psycho~~ lol.... It`s doubtlessly one of the most exceptional horror movies ever made!

see more what others say... I highly recommend you see the movie before see these reviews.... they always talked too much about the story.....~~
