One of my top ten films of all time, tho I've noticed it gets quite negative reviews from the sort of film reviewer who lives in their own anal region... I think the atmosphere it evokes is simply superb, and the aura it throws out is just unutterably fantastic! A film to get stoned to and LIVE. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The doco included on the DVD is quite fantabulous |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The wife (forget who plays her) is doing coco rails between every shot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, I've seen the doc. filmed, I believe, my Kubrick's daughter, and Shelley Duvall does get pretty emotionally screwed by all concerned - poor girl... I LOVE her song, He Needs Me, from the motioin picture, POPEYE. I have it on my PC and sing it reguarly! |
||||||||

|
|
Yeah. She has huge eyes. I believe she is an alien |

Incredible movie. Sometimes I put it on, and don't even pay attention to the story or characters. I just stare at the backdrops. Question for videophiles... I bought the Stanely Kubrick Collection edition of the DVD... and it's 4:3. 4 fuckin' 3. It says on the back that's the way it was filmed. Is this true, or was I fleeced? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You're quite correct, she does have very doe-like eyes! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
it's scary. luckly i know when all the scariest scenes take place, so i can put volume really low. |

I'm afraid this is one of my least favourite Kubrick films. It's still very good, But. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It is true, yes. I think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes it is true, full metal jacket was also filmed in 4:3. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
As well as A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, Eyes Wide Shut et caetera. |
||||||||

Do you have a favourite Kubrick picture? |

great flicck |

Hehe, I've just noticed that, in the scene where Wendy discovers that Jack's opus consists of many sheets reading "all work and no play makes jack a dull boy", when she first rolls down the sheet in the typewriter, not all the lines read that! One read 'bog' and one reads 'bet' ! Also, in one line, the word 'NO' is capitalised! Fascinating trivia hot off the pixellator presses! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Cripes. Stanely=Stanley Yeah, I noticed Clockwork Orange had some weird ''matting''... It didn't fill up the whole screen, though the picture didn't look like a natural 4:3. Eyes Wide Shut, fullscreen... I'm shocked. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe Barry Lyndon or 2001: A Space Odyssey or something??!?! |

Herbert West: Re-Animator... I adore h. p . lovecraft! |

barry lyndon...that's an excellent movie,altho any cubrics movie is a speciality of its own. |

poop - whatever - that's the link above kubrick was incredibly pissed off at the way the television suits hacked up 2001 to fit onto their medium in the 70's. he vowed never to let that happen again. he started shooting the remainder of his films in 4:3, so that every version, big or little screen, would be exactly the same. thus, leaving nothing he intended to be seen edited out ever again. |

That's understandable, but annoying. In a few years, pretty much every household will have HDTV widescreen. I don't mind using theater wide or any other video ''compromises'' too much, but... darn. |

yet another Kubrick film that shows how masteful he was at using sound and music in his films. first film to use a dolly, I believe? the camera following the little kid biking around. I love the sound of those wheels changing from carpet to wood and back. and the part with the woman who turns into the old woman in the bathroom. the strange electronic sounds on the soundtrack there are very nice. only thing is I don't think it's a very suspenseful film. at the point where you know Jack has really lost it, it almost instantly becomes kind of boring to me. I mean, it's great when he's veering between sanity and insanity, but as soon as he's flipped he just becomes a crazyman and isn't very interesting. so I would say it's an incredible film on the level of imagery and sound, but plotwise not so good. give me "2001" anyday..! or does this place me in the group of "the sort of film reviewer who lives in their own anal region..."..? :P (the Simpsons parody of "the shining" is also very good, by the way.) |

I'm going to have to be reminded how the original text of The Shining differs from Kubrick's interpretation -- although IIRC, King enjoys both. I like Stephen King's writing... ah, the tales of an everyman contending against unknown forces. Velly velly good. IT'S THA SHINNING! :) |
||||||||

Yes, Alex, but we already knew that! |

As farr as the arrt of film making goes this film is as good as it gets. Most dirrectorrs couldn't make a film like this. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I thought it was top banana, and I look forward to seeing it again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I think in many ways it reminds me of Dostoyevsky's Crime & Punishment. On the surface, this statement seems InSANIA! but I am referring to the fact that the viewer LIVES Nicholson's trip into madness, just as the reader LIVES Raskolnikov's guilt in Crime & Punishment. This, I think, is where the real power of both these works lies. |

First result in google produces very informative faq. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah, I disagree. I haven't read Crime & Punishment, but I don't feel like I'm following Jack into his madness. I feel much more like I'm following the little boy - the images he sees are much more disturbing to me than the hallucinations Jack sees. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You disagree? What a shock. |
||||||||
|

A bit off topic but fun: |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course u following jack. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so jack is a reincarnation of someone that was there before? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

Love that wendy carlos music "rocky mountains" |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
The Shining... those TWIN GIRLS are fucked up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, from what I've read, the book much more shows Jack's decline into madness - that's one of the things Stephen King disliked about Kubricks film, that he kind of skipped on that part. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The book and the film tell two verry differrent storries in a sense. Rratherr than Jack going insane he is drriven insane. Towarrd the end of the book, rratherr than killing Danny he smashes his own head in with a mallet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Also the book is told frrom the point of view of the boy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Poetic. somehow. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My favorite part of the film is when he is speaking with the old man in the bathroom. |

TWIN GIRLS, aren't they called Diane Arbus twins in tradition with the photographer's art? |
||||||||
|
|
