Description of this Shining Poster
The Shining is a 1980 psychological horror film produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick and co-written with novelist Diane Johnson. The film is based on Stephen King's 1977 novel of the same name and stars Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Scatman Crothers and Danny Lloyd. The film's central character is Jack Torrance (Nicholson), an aspiring writer and recovering alcoholic who accepts a job as off-season caretaker of the isolated historic Overlook Hotel in the Colorado Rockies, with his wife, Wendy Torrance (Duvall). , and young son, Danny Torrance (Lloyd). Danny is endowed with psychic abilities called "shining". After a winter storm leaves the snow-covered Torrances, Jack's sanity deteriorates due to the influence of the supernatural forces that inhabit the hotel.
Production took place almost exclusively at EMI Elstree Studios, with sets based on actual locations. Kubrick often worked with a small crew, which allowed him to do many takes, sometimes to the exhaustion of the cast and crew. The new Steadicam mount was used to shoot several scenes, giving the film an innovative and immersive look and feel. There has been much speculation about the film's meanings and actions due to inconsistencies, ambiguities, symbolism, and differences from the book.
The film was released in the United States on May 23, 1980 and in the United Kingdom on October 2 by Warner Bros. There were several versions for theatrical releases, each cut shorter than the previous cut; approximately 27 minutes were cut in total. Reactions to the film at the time of its release were mixed; Stephen King criticized the film due to its deviations from the novel. The film received two controversial Razzie nominations – Worst Director and Worst Actress (for Duvall) – the latter of which was later canceled due to Kubrick's treatment of Duvall on set. Critical response to the film has since become more favorable.
In 2012, The Shining was ranked the 75th greatest film of all time in the Sight & Sound directors' poll. In 2018, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Thirty-nine years after the release of the original film, a sequel, Doctor Sleep, on November 8, 2019.
Jack Torrance takes a job as a winter caretaker at the Overlook Hotel in the Rocky Mountains, which closes each winter season. After arriving, manager Stuart Ullman notifies Torrance that a former guard, Charles Grady, killed his family and himself at the hotel.
In Boulder, Jack's son Danny has a premonition and seizure. Jack's wife, Wendy, tells the doctor about a past incident when Jack accidentally dislocated Danny's shoulder during a drunken rage. Jack has been sober ever since. Before leaving for the seasonal break, Overlook head chef Dick Hallorann informs Danny of a telepathic ability the two share, which he calls "brilliant". Hallorann tells Danny that the hotel also has a "shine" due to the residue of unpleasant past events, and warns him to avoid room 237.
A month passes and Danny begins to have frightening visions, including of two murdered twin sisters. Meanwhile, Jack's mental health deteriorates; he gets nowhere with his writing, is prone to violent outbursts, and dreams of killing his family. Danny is drawn to Room 237 by unseen forces and Wendy later finds him with signs of physical trauma. Jack investigates and encounters a female ghost in the room, but blames Danny for inflicting the bruises on himself. Jack is enticed into drinking by the ghostly bartender Lloyd. Ghostly figures, including Delbert Grady, then begin to appear in the Gold Room. Grady informs Jack that Danny contacted Hallorann telepathically for help and says Jack needs to "fix" his wife and child.
Wendy finds Jack's manuscript written with nothing but countless repetitions of "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". When Jack threatens his life, Wendy knocks him unconscious with a baseball bat and locks him in the kitchen pantry, but she and Danny can't leave because Jack has already sabotaged the office's two-way radio and snowcat. hotel. Back in their hotel room, Danny says "redrum" repeatedly and even writes the word in lipstick on the bathroom door. Wendy sees the word in the mirror and realizes that it is actually "murder" spelled backwards.
Jack is freed by Grady's ghost and attacks Wendy and Danny with an axe. Danny escapes outside through the bathroom window, and Wendy fights Jack with a knife when he tries to go through the door. Hallorann, after returning to Colorado from his Florida vacation to respond to Danny's telepathic SOS, reaches the hotel in another snowcat. Her arrival distracts Jack, who ambushes and murders her in the hall, then pursues Danny through the hedge maze. Wendy runs through the hotel looking for Danny, encountering the hotel's ghosts and a vision of cascading blood similar to Danny's premonition.
In the hedge maze, Danny misleads Jack and hides behind a snowdrift while Jack follows a false trail. Danny and Wendy reunite and leave in Hallorann's snowcat, leaving Jack to freeze to death in the maze. In a photo in the hotel hallway, Jack is shown standing among a crowd of July 4, 1921, revelers.
