The Shining

what can i say about this movie that hasn't already been said, my first kubrick, probably a top 5 psychological horror/thriller ever made, shelly duvall and jack nicholson are just absolutely amazing in this movie, like they elevate this to whole other level, i honestly didn't think i'd like it as much as i did, this movie lowkey got me into "older" movies, i always thought that older movies weren't really my thing and i wouldn't get scared or affected but this movie is amazing and this is a classic for a reason there is no denying it's influence so many iconic shots and imagery in this film, the twins, the bathroom scene, the maze, the blood elevators, the fucking bear scene? like what the fuck was that, and who hasn’t seen some sort of version of the “here’s johnny” scene, if there was a perfect movie from start to finish it'd probably be this one, i will say i was kind of in a clouded state so i don't totally remember everything, but if im giving this 5 stars now, it's only going to get better on a rewatch, especially after watching more and more films, i don't see this diminishing on me the ambience in this movie is something that cannot be explained in words, there is something so unsettling about this film and i usually don't get disturbed easily but this film does that, it envokes a strange feeling inside of me, stephen king might be insane for not liking this film, there is literally so much to like, this is one of the best looking movies ever made, as well as one of the best sounding, there are no wasted scenes, especially the ending, one of the best endings in cinema history thank you stanley kubrick for making me realize that older movies are actually amazing and i owe it to you for actually making me open minded to older movies, the funny thing is 1980 isn't even that old, and after watching this i now realize how good pre 2000s movies can look, definitely 5/5 movie, changed my perspective on movies forever man, although stanley kubrick was an asshole on set, you cannot deny the emotion he gets out of this film is nothing short of amazing, i cannot WAIT to watch his other films
