The Shining (1980)
Outstanding movie, but don't compare it to the book
4 November 2021 - 2 out of 2 users found this review helpful.
The Shining is an outstanding movie. It is filled with an eerie atmosphere that builds as the story goes along. Jack Nicholson gives a mesmerizing performance. He doesn't have to be saying a word to completely hold your attention.
The film version of The Shining needs to be considered separately from Stephen King's novel. Stanley Kubrick made too many changes for it to be compared side by side. The outcomes for several characters are different and the ending is different.
If you have not read the book or seen the movie, do both. They are both great and will give you two separate and enjoyable experiences.
