Default Re: Kubrick\'s The Shining

[ QUOTE ]
One criticism I've heard of The Shining movie is that Jack Nicholson seemed crazy the whole time (partially due to the fact that he was well-known for his role in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest). The whole point of the book is that he is driven to insanity- if he starts off crazy it loses the effect.

Yeah, that is the one aspect of the movie I dislike. Jack doesn't do a good job of showing a transformation.

Still a great movie, however.
