I thought the kid who played Danny did a great job.

Exactly, lets not forget the performance of the kid in the TV movie 😂

Hey - - stop picking on the kid. I think he's great in this! If you like the book story better, I recommend that you watch the miniseries called Stephen King's The Shining. It was made in the 90s, I think, produced by King. It runs about 5 hours. It is much more aligned with the book and goes into back stories and histories of the Torrances and the hotel itself. Jack's character arc is much more gradual, as are Wendy, Danny - - and Tony. It isn't artistically striking and stylized as Kubrick's version, but it is super creepy and I believe was filmed in the Stanley Hotel, where King stayed when he conceptualized and drafted this story. I have read the book and seen both versions. I love Kubrick's version; the atmosphere and simplicity of it have made it a favorite of mine - - I also love all of the performances in it. But I give a lot of credit to the other version. I enjoyed that very much as well. Anyway, it sounds like that version would be for you. Please do a reaction to it. I don't think I've seen any reactions to the King version.

Danny's being told off camera to act this way

The Shining is one of my favourite movies😊. The hotel is a real place Stanley Hotel and it haunted for real Stephen King lived there himself while writing. Also The Eagles wrote song Hotel California after stay in Stanley Hotel.

This place is very profitable because the hotel is just a front for the actual business. Truth be told, Kubrick hinted at the Overlook being a massive brothel! That's why the Torrences saw only young beautiful ladies (and some young men) leaving the hotel on closing day.... It was always a pair of ladies walking past Jack Wendy Stuart and Bill and the group of young 20 year olds near the elevator. That's just one subliminal secret / esoterric symbols that he used when making this film. Watch Room 237 -- the documentary about this film's subluminal secrets! I love this film forever!!! Thankyou for reacting to it. Much respect!

There was a TV mini series in the ‘80”s with Stephen Webber as Jack Torrance and Rebecca DeMornay as Wendy. The mini -series stuck more closely to the book. It was kind of meh. I’m not a huge fan of Kubrick’s films, but I appreciate his talent. What I don’t like about this film is that they don’t show Jack’s downward spiral into madness and, they don’t use the importance of maintaining the boiler as an analogy for Jack’s temper, doing so would have added the urgency for Halloran’s motivation for driving up to the mountain during a snowstorm. Ah well! Good reaction! It helps knowing the book before watching the movie.

1. Joe Turkel/Lloyd plays Tyrell in "Bladerunner" 😇 2. "Here's Johnny" was adlib by Nickelson. 3. It took over 60 takes for Jack to chop through the door. He used his voluntary firefighting skills to get through all the takes. They had to keep making doors because he was going through them so quickly. 4. The reason King didn't like this adaptation of the movie is because he didn't like the changes Kubrick made. This thing was remade just for King and although the remake was more in line with the book IMVHO it wasn't as good at this one. 5. Two of the changes he didn't like were Jack's decent into madness was too rapid, and Wendy wasn't such a patsy in the book. 6. Shelley Duval said making this film was the worst thing she ever experienced in her life. She wouldn't do it again. 7. Jack Nicholson and Scatman worked together in "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest". 8. The real villain here is the hotel itself. 9. Watch Dr. Sleep. Danny is an adult and many of the loose ends will be cleared up. TUESDAY😏

1.) So hilarious that "Bladerunner" is your frame of reference for Joe Turkel, rather than Kubrick's "Path's Of Glory". 2.) Shelley Duvall is interviewed extensively in the new book "Making of the Shining" and talks at length how proud she is of the movie, how much she loved Stanley, how much she learned on the movie and valued the experience, and how (stupid) people have completely misrepresented her time on the film. Perhaps you should read this book rather than just babbling out of your asshole stuff that you heard second hand. 2.) It's "Nicholoson" not "Nickleson", you idiot 3.) The reason didn't King did not like the movie - while proclaiming he loves every other Kubrick movie - is that authors hardly EVER like the movies based on their works. You can always tell a non-reading moron from how giddy they get pissing their pants about King not liking the Shining in reaction video comments. 4.) Scatman and Jack worked in four movies together, you idiot, not just the other Jack Nicholoson movie you happened to see. 5.) Dr. Sleep sucks.

The movie is one of the greatest horror flicks ever filmed. The book, on the other hand, isn't anything special.

It’s not really a horror movie, more like a suspense ghost movie.

I let it go when you kept calling the boy a 'freak'. But after 10:49 I just can't. Horrible

I believe Danny in the movie is supposed to be a traumatized kid. Remember, "there's hardly anybody to play with around here," even though when we see their apartment in Boulder we can hear kids playing outside - Danny is traumatized, has created an imaginary friend named Tony to cope, and he probably has trouble making friends. You would think after being tasked with finding Danny's actor among like 4,000 boys, Leon Vitali (who was tasked to find the actor) would have found a better actor, which is why I believe it to be intentional - Danny's acting, that is. Even if not intentional, it still works for my interpretation of the film. I don't think traumatized kids act the same as book Danny, so it makes sense for Danny in the movie to be acting the way he is. He's isolated from friends, has only 1 imaginary friend, a mother who dismisses her husband's abuse, and a dad like Jack Torrance - I doubt he'd be a hopped up, happy kid.

You mightbelieve so but Danny is.not such. He is telephatic. Tony is himself from future warning them what is to Come. His whole name is Daniel Anthony Torrence.

@@chiasanzes9770 That would be Danny from the book; We receive no information regarding that in the film, which is different from the book in that it doesn't explain much of what is going on. I'd assume if Kubrick (or any of his collaborators on The Shining) wanted to leave no room for interpretation, they probably would have elaborated more-so on what Danny's shine is. I think the beauty of the 1980's adaptation is its ability to be looked at in a wide variety of ways, and each viewpoint (at least most of them) is somehow still truthful to, although not necessarily the book, the world around us and our cumulative culture. The beauty of ghost stories, as Kubrick himself pointed out, are their ability to have the audience confront the deep, dark corners of our psyche indirectly; To have a ghost story is great, to have a psychological tale that explores the human mind is great, but to have a ghost story that also is a psychological tale is amazing. When the ghosts don't have to be "real," or when the entire Overlook hotel, or hell when the whole camera viewpoint that audience is given isn't "real," I think it really elevates the story and gives it a palpable realism to the fantastical that allows the audience to believe more of what they're seeing - perhaps even on just a sub or unconscious level - and therefore creates a more terrifying experience. Personally, if I was to make myself believe the story is just a ghost story, and that everything can be explained, I think the film would lose its charm.

I read the book and saw the film also, and I’m on the opposite side of the fence from this gent. The movie has stuck with me my whole life, whereas the only thing I remember about the book is that it had some hedge sculptures that came alive or something. Every other King book I’ve read was better than its movie version for me, just not this one. I guess I’m just a Kubrick fanboy, which is fine by me. I’m not upset by his take at all, I just disagree. Life’s too short to let this kind of debate actually bother me.

I have no idea why King fans sympathise with book Jack. Reading it as an adult for the first time recently, Jack is unlikeable from the very first line, and things just get worse. He literally has no redeeming characteristics, and blowing himself up was best for all concerned, ghosts or no ghosts. How old were you when you read the book, and do you think that skewed your view?

Oh I have no sympathy for book Jack he is awful. However, I found it interesting to watch him try really hard to supress his awfulness and drinking which is so obivous he could not. Supressing his awfulness is part of his character and journey which I think Kubrick cut a lot of it out. I was 23 when I read the book.

@@Rakhim99 And was that suppression shown in King's 90's tv version? Or more reliant on the internal monologue of the book? When you get to hear his private thoughts, not murdering people in public seems like a miracle of suppression.

I love the book and I love this adaption. The TV version is just awful.

"Heeeeere's Johnny!" Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Danny Lloyd. Not An American Fact: As he lived in England, Stanley Kubrick was not at all familiar with the "Heeeeere's Johnny" line (from The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962)) that Jack Nicholson improvised. He very nearly didn't use it. Hot Take Fact: There is a great deal of confusion regarding this film and the number of retakes of certain scenes. According to the Guinness Book of Records, the scene where Wendy is backing up the stairs swinging the baseball bat was shot 127 times, which is a record for the most takes of a single scene. However, both Steadicam operator Garrett Brown and assistant editor Gordon Stainforth say this is inaccurate. The scene was shot about thirty-five to forty-five times. Method Director Fact: Despite Stanley Kubrick's fierce demands on everyone, Jack Nicholson admitted to having a good working relationship with him. It was with Shelley Duvall that he was a completely different director. He allegedly picked on her more than anyone else. He would really lose his temper with her, even going so far as to say that she was wasting the time of everyone on the set. She later reflected that he was probably pushing her to her limits to get the best out of her and that she wouldn't trade the experience for anything, but it was not something she ever wished to repeat.

Kubrick usually did at least 30 takes.

You're good at this, stick with it!

I thought Danny was one of the best child actors ive ever seen. I think you mistake no emotion with no talent. Any other kid ive seen try to do that comes off as cringe. Subtelty seems lost on you, with both acting, and the streamlining of Kings overexplanation of everything. Less can be more. HP Lovecrafts famous quote "in all things mysterious, never explain" was the philosophy Kubrick went into this with, and i believe that is why Kubricks The Shining still endures today while Kings book endures more so from its association to the movie. Like i think it would just be another one of Kings better novels if this hadnt been made.

I didn't get through your reaction, sorry. You spent so much time talking over everything, trying to be funny, and thinking it was cool to make fun of Danny Lloyd (who did an excellent job for such a little boy) made you completely miss the point of the movie. This is not your ordinary ghost story. It is a masterpiece that demands repeated viewings to understand it. This movie is still being talked about decades after it was made for a reason. If you make constant sarcastic remarks and laughing through it, you ruin for yourself and your audience.
