This is the infamous scene which took 127 takes to shoot. I suppose Kubrick might seem a bit cruel for putting Shelley Duval through 127 takes like that...but ofcourse, a typical Hollywood director would've just fired her and replaced her with someone else. Kubrick stuck with it till she delivered the goods.
of course I'm concerned about you RAHM. I love you. Yes I know how important it is for you to live up to your responsibilities. I know what would happen to your future if you failed to live up to them. I wouldn't do anything to hurt you or jepordize your job.
Hey everybody - I just released my solo album "Mirror Image" that contains ambient songs (and upbeat songs) heavily inspired by Stephen King's novel and movies The Shining, as well as Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. If you're interested you can check out the songs on my youtube page, and links to my myspace page and places to download the full album are on my youtube channel as well :) .
I could not stop laughing during this. I know it's a horror film, but Jack Nicholson has to be one of the funniest human beings alive. He's like Jim Carey's evil twin.
The difference between modern horror and the horror's today is that most of it applies to the teeangers and their short attention spands, im sure teens have watched this, but cmon, kids in my school have only talked about paranormal activity.
This is nothing like the book, but I love it all the same. Nicholason and Duvall both play their parts with a passion you don't often see in movies anymore. Bravo!
Kubrick's movies were incredible. They made you feel like you were there,but you couldnt do anything about the situation. Helpless is the word. Deep conversations,Eyes wide shut, Full metal jacket are my tops.
This movie is the best movie of the world, trash is boring. Great music, great cut, great actors, great director, great sreen, great hotel, great steadicam, great camera, great film. You can't understand this scene as a single scene. You must put it to the whole movie. But this scene has power. Stanley Kubrick is the best movie maker.
I love jack's ''oh goddamn'',like it was a big joke.Like he's not suprised she would defend herself,after saying he was gonna bash her brains in.lol,i don't know why but i love that moment.
my hands would be around the skinny end of the bat at the bottom, so I would have a greater range of attack (Jack wouldn't be so close to me before I could hit him) and I would also have more leverage in my swing that way and I would do more damage.
No gore, no monsters and no special effects. Just two great performances, building music and excellent dialogue. Modern horrors could learn a lot from just this scene let alone this movie.
Its a very psychological film, like Jaws. Jaws had special effects, but the damn shark never worked, but worked to the films favor. This has to be the best acted and filmed horror film ever. In my opinion Nicholson's best performance.
@WoolyOmpus Great point! Gore is a crutch used in horror movies when the creators fail to think of anything scary. Think about it. In 2 hours and 26 minutes, there is exactly one one screen killing, yet this is one of the scariest movies of all time. Much scarier than many movies with much higher death tolls. "The Shining" is pure psychological terror at its best. Maybe the thing that sums it up is that Stanley Kubrick create the scariest scene of all time with three children and a tricycle!
Jack always, always gets all of the credit for the impact of this scene but it's all Shelley. She is the one who carries the weight and convinces us this is some crazy shit going on. She's giving the performance of a lifetime.
i love johnny depp, but in no way is his acting similar to jack's or to this. especially not to this. johnny depp is too laid back and too interested in light, quirky roles for portraying this severe an insanity.
My fave part : Wendy! DARLING! LIGHT OF MY LIFE! All that said with this insanity on his face. Now THAT's a way of seducing women, you're all right, hahaha.
"Stop swinging the bat" is cool too loooool. ;) But you know what is the most terrifying about all of it? I'm afraid you can't act that well as Jack Nicholson does... I'm afraid this all is too real, Jack Nicholson doesn't really act... I'm afraid and really believe this is THE REAL private Jack Nicholson looool. What do you think?? ;)
Nah he's just great at playing nutters! If you see some of his oscar speeches etc. he comes across as a really well spoken and nice guy. There are actors who are just good at playing nutters: Nicholson, Dennis Hopper, Anthony Hopkins, Gary Sinise etc.
If you watch "the making of The Shining" her eon YouTube, you'll see that although Jack Nicholson is a nice guy, the role he plays here isn't too far from the way he acts when he's goofing off on camera. He's not crazy, but he has that twisted character about him. He is pretty awesome.
