Are you "Shining"?

Back a few a days, I watched the Jack Nicholson movie "The Shining." With a great director like Stanley Kubrick and actor like Nicholson, you can never expect anything less from a movie. And this psycho thriller was no different. Exteremely well handled music and camera builds up an eerie feeling when you watch it. At times scaring you and keeping you bound to the screen. I watched it twice, and even the second time it surprised me with its scary elements. The story is of Jack Torrance(Nicholson) who comes with his family to the Overlook Hotel as its caretaker during the extreme winters. And slowly he gets deranged with the loneliness at the place and still likes the place insanely. At the same time his family which includes his wife and son starts fearing the unusual happennings and coping with the growing insanity of Jack. Isolated in a vast hotel, growing torture of the winter and seeing things of the past, it makes you have goosebumps even watching. Top it up with the menancing looks of Nicholson, the horror creeps into you. Shelly Duvall(wife), Danny Lloyd (son) and Scatman Crothers (Chef) are equally brilliant. Watch for the kid pedalling his tri-cycle through different floor textures. Shining is a telepathic phenomenon as depicted in the movie where people and places communicate with past and future references. technorati tags: movies
