"The Shining" is one of Jack Nicholson's best. It has Jack, and his family hotel sitting for the winter, but the hotel gets to Jack. While staying there Jack becomes paranoid and the spiritual and evil presence of the hotel haunts Jack into a killer. And his son into a psychic. And Jack's wife, Wendy, played by Shelley Duvall is caught in the middle.
This film is just crazy. Stanley Kubrick directed and wrote this psychological thriller. The film was based on the greatness of Stephen King and Kubrick really brought this amazing novel to screen in almost a better way. Shelley Duvall is a great actress and she did fantastic in this film, and she really became the scared wife on screen. The little boy in the film, Danny Lloyd did an amazing job for his age. He had the famous line of ReⱭЯum with his finger moving. The best part about this film is Jack Nicholson. It is such a pleasure to watch him on screen. He is one of the best actors of our generation, and Stanley Kubrick is one of the best directors of our generation. It is too bad that we lost him so soon. Jack Nicholson is one of my favorite actors of all time and he is also hilarious. He can nail any role he is given. This film is one of his best.
