Starting a new goal, by the end of the year I want to have seen every film in the Letterboxd Top 250 Narrative Features. Anyway, this film was phenomenal, can’t wait to see more from Bergman.

Thank god I watched this before it left Tubi.

i know it’s an unpopular opinion, but i really didn’t like this.

jesus stephen king really didn’t know how to write a screenplay

dude i thought this shit really happened until 30 minutes into the movie when i looked it up😭

“A little slow tonight, isn’t it?”

The Shining is 2 hours and 24 minutes of palpable suspense, breathtaking visuals, brilliant acting, ingenious directing, and beautifully crafted storytelling. When it isn’t sending shivers from your hair to your toes, it is bombarding you with some of the greatest cinematography in film history, and presenting an investing and unbelievable tale of a man who’s brief sense of isolation drives him to insanity. Except, that’s not what The Shining is at all.

Kubrick managed to craft a film where nothing is what it seems, every shot, line of dialogue, facial expression, parallel, and chord struck by an instrument in the soundtrack is all necessary. On every rewatch you interpret it a different way, because there is no real explanation to The Shining, and the only man who ever knew everything about it was Kubrick himself.

But, despite Stanley’s masterful directing, this film wouldn’t be as highly regarded and incredible as it is without Shelley Duvall and Jack Nicholson. Jack is incredible in this film, everyone knows that, but the true unsung hero is Shelley Duvall, who gives one of the most thrilling and memorable performances in the history of the medium of cinema. Her character is essentially the “happy” wife, who pretends to be happy and content, but she is terrified of her spouse and what he might to do her at any moment.

The Shining is a masterpiece in every sense of the word, and you could make a serious argument for it being the greatest movie ever made.

the sandlot meets goodfellas.

jokes aside, i did enjoy this, and it would be 4.5 or maybe even 5 stars if the acting wasn’t so ungodly horrendous

while it is objectively great, i couldn’t help but feel underwhelmed with this one.

while still pretty solid, it doesn’t hold a candle to it’s predecessor

kurosawa is definitely gonna become one of my favorite directors.

Watched on Monday May 19, 2025.

eh.

i know the word masterpiece gets thrown around a lot these days, but..

I am not okay.

one of those movies that make you feel all holly jolly inside, then reaches in your ass and pulls your heart out. great movie.

this is the greatest movie ever made

i might have given it a 3 and a half if i didn’t watch it on a sketchy free movie website with audio that cuts in and out every 10 seconds. oh well.

fight club but less gay
