the shining, part five… *boom* HAPPY ENDING written by dave on 11/02/06
witness the magic of editing and music.
i doubt anyone hasn’t seen shining, the magical reinterpretation of the shining. but if you haven’t, it’s here. this is how thinking about the shining makes me feel deep inside. suddenly, “salsbury hill” is playing in my brain and heart-warming scenes are etched out of the dark dank crud pile that is modern life.
i hope you’ve enjoyed this week long journey through one of cinema’s most discussed (by me) films of all time. it’s been a harrowing journey, but one that has built character, sort of like boy scouts or prison. thank you all for following me into the brightest of celluloid-sifted lights that is… the shining!
i’ll leave you now with stanley kubrick accepting an award via satellite. i dare you to watch the whole thing.

The movie THE shining is frightening because of the extraordinarily effective use of long shots to create feelings of isolation, convex lens shots to enhance surrealism, and meticulously scored music to bring tension levels to virtually unbearable levels. And “funny” because of Jack Nicholson’s outrageous and in many cases ad-libbed onscreen antics.
