 Thanks for checking out this movie review video. This is for the 1980 film The Shining. Yes The Shining Big big big fan of this film and it's actually one of my favorite films not just horror But all-time one of my all-time favorite films, so I've always been wanting to do a review of this I knew I'd get to it at some point But I just didn't know when but now is the time because I'm planning on doing a review of Dr. Sleep and I thought well if I'm gonna do a review of Dr. Sleep shouldn't I just watch the Shining first do a review for that then do an even better review for Dr. Sleep because then I'll be fresh with my knowledge from the Shining movie which I hear it ties into as well as the actual books By Stephen King because obviously the Shining is based off a book by Stephen King But Stephen King hated the Stanley Kubrick's the Shining because it deviated very far from his actual book Now I will say I haven't read Dr. Sleep or the Shining so Sorry, I'm not I'm not a big reader. My reading mode is more Magazines I do read some books here and there but it takes me a really long time to get through a book and Stephen King's books are huge. So they're very intimidating for me. I'm just more of a visual person. So Just know that So obviously written by Stephen King Stanley Kubrick, like I said changed a lot He's best known directing wise for movies like Spartacus Dr. Strange love 2001 a space Odyssey clockwork orange full metal jacket and eyes wide shut all Really good films in my opinion. He did some other ones in addition to that One of these situations where he died much younger than than a lot of people wish he would have because he was a very amazing directing talent and It would have been awesome to see what else he he would have ended up doing so Sucks that he was lost when he was. I knew he had started doing that film AI that I think Spielberg finished I think he started it. I don't know how far he get he he got maybe halfway or so and then Spielberg finished that film I haven't seen that one had Haley Joel Osman in it, but yeah So obviously Jack Nicholson is in this one. He's amazing. His performance is ridiculously good in this I'll talk about it a little bit more later Shelly Duvall is in it her performance not so great, but It's quite possible that that's because she had a terrible relationship with Stanley Stanley Kubrick during the making of this film She hated him pretty much because he did a lot of things to her And I don't know like there have been reports that he he was crappy with her because He wanted to stress her out so it would help her acting for her Typical character, but she got stressed out to a point where apparently she was like losing her hair It was bad So I don't know if part of her bad performance came from just having a terrible time on set I could see that happening, but I don't like her performance in this and especially when it's next to How great Jack Nicholson was it looks even worse Scatman Crothers in this he does a fun job. He has a lot of fun with Dick Haller in that character I really love that character. I hate the fact that that character doesn't get used more to be honest But I'll also talk more about that later And then Danny Lloyd who played Danny the kid in the film Which I will say I met Danny Lloyd in person at months the last Monster Mania And you can check out my review of that Monster Mania on my channel and I'll you know I talk in there and I show you what I got signed by him and you know But basically he doesn't remember a whole lot from the actual shooting of the film because he was so young at the time What he remembers most is the scenes of him riding around in the hotel on his big wheels Which look great I love those scenes because they're the way they shot him with the steady cam just like following him It's really cool. You don't know what's coming as he goes around turns and it just feels like a really cool Exploratory adventure for the audience and that's why I love those so much. I mean the Let's just call it out right now. This film looks amazing like it looked amazing in 1980 It looks amazing now, you know, I watched it on a DVD copy and it still looks Amazing like I know this is remastered But I know there's probably been a blu-ray sense that I should probably just buy a blu-ray of this because it's one Of my favorite films and I will Just haven't gotten to that yet, but even still just on DVD It looks ridiculously good and that's because the directing is phenomenal the cinematography is ridiculous I mean just the opening scene of like that panoramic just like tracking shot of the car Going up the side of the mountain. It's beautiful. It's breathtaking Just everything about the visuals Unbelievable one of the reasons is one of my favorite films, but I'll talk more about the visuals a little bit here and there So the budget on this film was a 19 million dollars and it ended up making 46.2 million which you know, that's a good profit for 1980. I'm not gonna say the back's back Information on this I'm not gonna go into some of the typical stuff that people talk about with it because a lot of people know a lot about the shining Especially if you're a horror fan a lot of information out there So I just kind of wrote down some of the things that I didn't necessarily know when I was researching it so I did know this but it bears repeating that they shot the internal scenes on us on a stage at a studio The the overlook hotel there you can actually go to the overlook hotel. It's still there But they only really use the outside of that so, you know, it's probably why it's such an expensive film to make at 19 million in 1980 so There were a lot of different length cuts of the film that that had been ended up being put out I've only seen I think one version of it But I will say I actually have seen the film in the theater At one point which was one of the most amazing Film experiences of my life. It was it was life-changing as far as my relationship with the movie the shining I loved the shining at that point and my theater experience with it Made it shoot up to being one of my favorite films period because seeing it on such a big screen and being a captive You know, you're not watching it at home You don't get distracted you're captive and you have to focus It makes the hotel feel like even more of a character and it feels like you're in it It's it's amazing just to see it that large and it's just it's life-changing I mean, there may be places that put it back in the theater because right now when I'm putting this review out This is the 40th anniversary this year of the release of the shining. So Maybe we'll get another release. I would love to get another opportunity to see it in the theater. That would be amazing Yeah Stephen King hates this version. There was a version that was made. It was like a mini TV series that was done much later in the 90s, I believe and McGarris did that one and Stephen King liked that because it was very faithful to the book So I should probably do a revisit on that series because I remember watching it when it was on on TV back then But I remember a ton about it now because it's been so long so A new version of steady cam was actually used for this film And so it was pretty innovative as far as like those tracking shots And they actually had mounted the camera on a wheelchair and then like built some rigged stuff around it So that was interesting Kubrick apparently wanted to show the evil side of human personality That was his idea behind specifically doing the shining and he found the best representation of that in Stephen King's book Obviously he changed it a bunch to fit what he wanted But it was kind of reported that he was looking for a horror film to kind of showcase the evil in human personality And he kept going through all these horror books and reading them And when he would get done with one that he didn't find what he was looking for He would literally throw the book in a wall because he was just like ah, this isn't the one But when he got to the shining by Stephen King, he found what he was looking for So Kubrick apparently, oh, I'm sorry. I just read that my bad Nicholson, Nicholson Jack Nicholson was the first choice for the role But there were other people who were considered for Jack Torrance that included Robert De Niro Would have been interesting Robin Williams and Harrison Ford Now when you hear those names thrown out you think wow that would be weird or that wouldn't work or whatever But you know had it been those people we may still view it the same I don't know, but Nicholson kind of carries this film. It's amazing This was actually shot in chronological order, which is super super rare. They ended up building the inside sets In a certain way that they could connect them so that they would be able to shoot the film chronologically instead of like Building a scene doing all the takes there tearing it down and then doing another one Um, it's yeah, it's rare that films, especially professionally done films are shot in in chronological order But I have a theory that that Kubrick probably did that because It helps with the acting of it Like the characters could actually feel the changes in their character being done and more of the tension actually building So I think it's good for that reason that they would do it chronologically So there um some outtakes of the opening panorama scene Actually, you know what I was talking about like the the car going up the mountain road Some of those outtakes were actually used by Ridley Scott later in his um movie Blade Runner I found that to be pretty interesting. I did not know about that And here's one of the biggest problems is is that Kubrick and this is probably where a lot of things spawned from with the Tension between Duvall and Kubrick Kubrick reportedly changed the script a lot And when they were filming so like there would be days literally that they would show up and their lines had changed from the day prior And it was said that well, first of all Shelly Duvall was very very frustrated by this But Nicholson was also frustrated Like to a point where he would get a new version of the script and apparently just immediately throw it away Because he'd be like tomorrow it's going to be different So he would really a lot of the times just memorize his lines like right before he was going to do a scene And you wouldn't really know that though because his performance is so good. His line delivery is great But then again like we're not seeing the outtakes too like how much of Footage wasn't usable because of you know mess ups. I don't know Um, yeah, obviously like I talked about this film looks amazing. It's Unbelievable and there are a lot of theories about this film. I don't want to Go too much into Some other theories that people have thrown out about it I'm mainly picking things out that I want to talk about having to do with this film based off Me just having watched it. I literally just watched it before I sat down for this review And I just I just wanted to like kind of look at it through The lens of really really deep diving into it now. There are a lot of subtle things that kubrick does in this and I don't want to get too far into the subtle things because there's a lot of speculation I know people people have had online and in a documentary film called room 237 That you know, they seem out there. They seem like okay. Well, maybe but we don't know for sure It just seems like a lot of wild guessing So I will give you some of my kind of wild guesses my personal ones and just see what you think So the wailing noises that get incorporated into the music in the very beginning of the film I think is really cool because it kind of sets you up to know Immediately like there's something wrong. There's something ominous something evil and that kind of gets through The point that the music in this in general was really amazingly good It matches the scene. It's extremely well. It's always very brooding and menacing sounding It just always sounds off But that's good for the tension build because everything in this film is off In in a good storytelling way because things are messed up They set up the concept of isolation pretty early and being trapped with the With the job interview portion where jack Nicholson is being interviewed for that position And then when they talk about the tragedy that happened with um delbert grady when he asked his whole family when he was The caretaker there Um, that was really good of them to kind of introduce that immediately And i'm a big fan if you've watched enough of my reviews, you know I'm a big fan of films that have isolation or films that have A situation where people are trapped in a confined Building or space with an evil because I feel like that ratchets the tension up a lot and I and it really helps It's just something I personally like Um notice that jack has no real reaction to the axe murder details Uh, which shows an odd comfort that he has with it Which you know may actually spawn from the fact that they're they're showing that he has You know, we know he has kind of an abusive past because wendy talks about that to the person who comes to Check out danie after he has his seizure Um in the beginning of the film and so I feel like him not reacting to the story of the axe murders Was kind of a way of saying Of showing that he has a level of comfort with violence And then those types of things don't face him. Therefore, he has the ability To do it because he has that level of comfort and obviously that's where it ends up going Although he doesn't actually kill wendy or Danny he does kill Dick halloween Which bothers me, but I'll get to that later The scene of danie talking to tony in the bathroom is actually pretty disturbing And it's partially because of the camerawork that they do that like very slow moving shot That's moving in on him in the bathroom as he's standing there looking in the mirror Like him doing the voice of tony is disturbing enough But with that slow camerawork and the music they have behind it very disturbing very disturbing Uh, the blood coming from the elevator scene Obviously, this is iconic in the film. It looks amazing. It still looks amazing And they do it a few times throughout the film Probably because it looks so good. It's such it's such a great visual trick Love it It's obviously super iconic also the twins the twins are super iconic too, which You know because they're creepy When you first see jack with the family in the car when they're They're going up to the hotel to move in he's super disconnected It seems like he doesn't have any interest in really being involved with his own family Just notice that like all the interactions he feels very put off By the fact that he has to interact with his wife and kid So you can see and feel the tension within the family You can tell that it's not a tight-knit family unit that there's a problem And we know that that spawns from the issue that was three years prior where you know jack got drunk and he You know hurt danny by like grabbing him really hard But I just noticed that but it also that persists throughout the film Just notice that he for the most of most of the time doesn't really want to have anything To do with danny and doesn't really want to have a whole lot to do with wendy either he seems to be very happy being by himself and Doesn't really care about his family that much to be honest and that's from the beginning Um the casual mention of the hotel being Relocated on an an ancient indian burial ground That's an immediate flag for people watching movies now But back then it was more of like a subtle hint at something being wrong Uh because you know poltergeist I think was the one that really Drove that stuff home and I believe poltergeist was in the 80s. I'm pretty sure poltergeist was after the shining I could have looked that up, but I didn't so someone go ahead and comment. Let me know What year that was Once halloween talks to danny about the shining it goes from seeming kind of disturbing and scary to actually kind of feeling comfortable And just like it's a special ability that danny has because when he's just talking to tony And he's getting these kind of like flashes of of what could potentially happen in danger at the overlook hotel It seems scary. It seems disturbing, but then when halloween talks to him It kind of puts I feel like not just danny at ease, but also the audience a little bit. That's just how I feel halloween's explanation of the shining gives the idea that bad things that happen echo into the future with people And also with places, uh, which is basically what ends up happening with the torrents family With that that abusive moment three years prior Of jack on danny that keeps echoing within that family and it keeps resurfacing throughout the film Because I mean it's it's very well shown in the fact in the the moment where you know danny shows up and he's not talking and because he had gone into room 237 and that lady was there And he's not saying anything and wendy immediately just thinks Jack hurt the kid like she he hurt danny So that's something that it keeps echoing within the family and it's also responsible for the distance Because it's that awkward thing that nobody's going to forget So the shining is kind of a very good Metaphor for Violence in a family or just tension or trauma or you know bad things happening because they they stay they keep echoing The tracking shots of danny on the big wheel are great because it's engaging in exploration. I already said that one earlier Jack's comment about having been to the hotel before gives the idea that it pulled him into the hotel that it kind of was speaking to him And was it was he's kind of destined to be there He's already open to being evil at this point So he finds a level of comfort at the hotel while danny and wendy are actually very uneasy with it So There's a big thing here with the hotel controlling him. He's not perfect when he gets there He's already he already has the track laid for him to get to a point of killing his family Because he shows that level of comfort with the axe murder story He's already been physically abusive at some point. So he's it shows he's open to doing bad things then when the hotel takes over and Probably recognizes this in him. It starts pushing him and pushing him and pushing him and then eventually grabs firm hold of him Although there are times where he he snaps out of it or almost snaps out of it and I'll talk about those coming up The biggest turn in jack's actual character comes in the scene where when he and wendy interrupts his typing And becomes very emotionally and verbally abusive. It's like him going back to that time three years prior Where he was drunk, you know, he he doesn't actually have alcohol in this but In his mind, he does and we'll talk about that a little bit later, but he um Yeah, that moment where she interrupts his typing and he doesn't want to see what he's doing He's like you're breaking my concentration. He cusses at her. He berates her That's the biggest change in his character because prior to that He's disconnected from the family and doesn't seem that interested But he's not like outwardly mad or outwardly Emotionally or verbally abusive and that's the moment where he actually happens and you're kind of like, oh, things are getting real And that's where I feel like the hotel is really starting to really get a hold on him and and affect his mood For its time the twin scene in the hallway was probably very shocking because it's creepy And especially the fact that you end up seeing that flash of them actually dead With blood all over and the ax laying there Really good image. Uh, yeah back then I bet it was super shocking Jack talking to danie in the bedroom is pretty disturbing because he seems nuts at that point he seems very very not there and um There's tension because at that moment you're kind of like is he gonna do something to him right here Is he gonna harm him because it seems like he could and this goes to how great Jack Nicholson was in this role because He just he plays like nutty like Amazingly he plays menacing super well. He plays crazy super well. He plays evil super well through his expressions Just honestly the fact that his eyebrows are pointy like they have that point at the top Just makes him look that extra bit of crazy and evil It just works his look his acting everything it works When jack wakes up from his nightmare It's him sobering up and snapping back to reality This is one of those moments where he kind of snaps out of the control that the hotel has on him That's when he has the nightmare In the main room where he types that he killed his family And that disturbs him and you get this glimpse of him being scared and being normal and like like I was saying snapping back to reality, but he goes right back to under control of the hotel because The hotel capitalizes on Wendy at that moment accusing jack of abusing danny because that's when danny shows up in the room and he's Sorry, he's not talking and his sweater's been ripped and then she's like you did something to him. You heard him and he didn't and at that point he's like What the heck and that just brings Brings that trauma up again. It brings that terrible moment in the relationship up again And then that drives him right back into the arms of the evil hotel Because he's mad again, and he's like i'm being blamed for this. I didn't do it I love the ball the gold room the ball room I love that scene the first one when jack Nicholson goes in and he starts having a drink with loyed the bartender He's not actually drinking alcohol at that point But I think that's kind of a signaling that by him touching You know drinking the alcohol again touching the booze Again that things are going to start getting really bad Because that's taking it back to them to what happened to get him to the moment of actually being physically Physically abusive with danny, but it's also just a really awesome Moment where you just get to see jack Nicholson really have a fun time with delivering those really awesome lines And it looks really good. I like how like the bar top lighting is and the lighting behind the bar looks really really cool It's it's wonderful. And then they have a scene later where the ball ball room is more inhabited with people That is also one of my favorite scenes just anything i have to do with the ball room Love it. Love it. Love it Something interesting to notice is that the incident when wendy spoke of of jack hurting danny was three years ago And jack says that himself as well when he's talking to loyed at the bar Now jack also says that he's been sober for five months He said that he's been on the wagon for five for the past five months so This indicates that wendy had said that he gave up drinking as soon as the incident with him hurting danny happened That's not true It's revealed here then that danny's been secretly drinking For a lot longer and he only gave it up five months ago Which i don't know time wise that could line up with when he decided to stop being a teacher Go isolate himself and try and write a book and he was driven into the arms of the hotel So it's just kind of interesting to think about the timeline like that halloween has an amazing summer home That thing is super nice looking. I was like, whoa, that that's awesome When wendy says she wants to get danny out of the hotel jack's reaction indicates that the hotel has full hold of him And there's no way they're going to be able to leave Because that's when it jumps to that next level of him being physically menacing towards her And he's coming at her and that's when she has a bat with her and then she's swinging it and he's telling her Not to and he said he's gonna she's like i'm not gonna hurt you. I'm just gonna bash your brains in I love that delivery of the line. It's amazing So good When loyed says your money's no good here orders of the house He's saying the hotel wants jack to drink It's it's the hotel the house is in the hotel the hotel Is ordering loyed To pull jack in to get him drunk well to make him think that he's getting drunk So it will loosen his inhibitions. It will make him more open the suggestions of the hotel Which you then see later with gradey talking to him when he's locked in the pantry Saying, you know, you haven't taken care of the situation You got to take care of this. I'll let you out if you take care of this situation. So Jack almost snaps snaps back to reality when he meets delbert gradey Because the story he was told comes back to him the one he was told in the beginning That he barely reacts to but the hotel refocuses him on his family problems By saying that danie is trying to bring dick hallerin Into their affairs So it's that moment where he could have snapped out of it And he was almost going to because he's like delbert gradey and he starts pressing him About being the caretaker and the axe murders and stuff like that But then gradey is so good gradey the hotel is so good at refocusing him On his issues with his family that he just forgets that then and doesn't snap out of it I think that when tony takes over it's because he's trying to protect danie The moment where where he says that danie's not there anymore to wendy I view it as tony was trying to take over danie To hide danie's consciousness because things were getting bad. So to kind of protect him. I don't know just a theory I hate that hallerin gets killed so fast This is something I was talking about not being used So they spend so much time in the film on hallerin checking in feeling like there's something wrong Flying there getting the snow cat going up to the hotel getting in the hotel looking around And then he just immediately gets killed. He doesn't get to do anything And so I feel like they spent so much time on that then when he gets killed that fast when he shows up at the hotel It's like all that was for nothing It was just wasted and that's one of my biggest issues with this film Is that's just dumb I feel like dick hallerin should have been used a lot more and used more effectively because he was a cool character He was a very cool character Uh, what really is jack's job at the overlook? Because you never see him doing work He's only doing his typing and hanging out and you know throwing a ball against the wall to try and like get some ideas going But he never does work. He's supposed to be the caretaker And he doesn't do anything So I just thought that was kind of funny it dawned on me like he's supposed to be a character He doesn't do anything here unless it's just assumed that we just don't see those mundane things But I feel like they would have showed like something Uh, the moment wendy sees jack's writings you realize he's not been saying the whole time he's been there But then it brings up the question Does jack know that he's just been writing over and over the same thing or in his mind because he's under control of the hotel is he Thinking that there's actually a story there a book. I don't know. That's just a question It came up when I was watching I was just like, huh, this is interesting to think about jack's overly sarcastic mocking of wendy is actually pretty funny And that's actually at the moment where things like really ramped up and he was You know getting violent and saying he was gonna bash her head in like the the sarcastic mocking of her was over the top But it was funny, but it was also like menacing and scary at the same time. So I just really like that scene The red rum portion of the film was probably very shocking at the time It's not anymore just because the film's so well known for it And also like don't you already see it coming in the film though too? like you know that at that point that The hotel's trying to get jack to do something terrible I mean, I guess it's just the thing where you don't know that he necessarily will and then the reveal of the red rum being murdered backwards is that it will happen Like it's a premonition that dany's having because of the shining. So They originally shot the axe Through the door scene with a fake door just so people know And they ended up having to go to a real door because jack Nicholson had been a volunteer firefighter at one point So he was very skilled in swinging an axe at a door So when they're using the fake door, he went through it so fast that they were like, it's gotta slow down We're gonna use a real door. I just thought that was an interesting fact The outside maze scene looks so freaking good because the snow looks really cool The lighting that they did with it is amazing, especially like the long shot down the hedge maze where um You're seeing from the back of jack Uh, like kind of hobbling because he's injured with the axe and the light in front of him Just kind of lighting it so he's just like a silhouette and the snow laying there. It just looks so good It's like a blue light because of the snow there. It's amazingly good looking Um, and the steady cam helps out with the maze portion. It makes it look really good The close-up of jack frozen and dead is a phenomenal visual I love that and it's a little bit funny too because his eyes are rolled up in his head I just like that little that little touch Um jack showing up in the old photos Uh plays to me like the hotel has basically claimed his soul And he was kind of always destined to be consumed by that hotel You know, my wife was watching the film with me and she was like So was he a ghost the whole time and I was like, no, no, he was real it's just I think that since he died because of the hotel like it sucked him in it got a hold of him and then he died It then claimed his soul and him showing up in the photos is showing that he's basically been added to the collection Of other ghosts of other souls that now live in the hotel So that's just my interpretation It's a personal interpretation The level at which the hotel is a character is amazing And i've not seen it done this well since having like an actual location be a character in a film The hotel is definitely a character in the film and that's amazing and like I said in the theater It's even better The music is so brooding and menacing and already talked about that Uh, the methodically paced falling apart of jack's character is great because it feels kind of Real I mean obviously it's more of like demonic forces type thing But it feels real for what what what environments been created for the story what world has been created The influence of the hotel on jack gives you the idea that it wasn't the alcohol that made him abusive before It was something much deeper and darker and this kind of goes back to what I was saying earlier about Kubrick looking for a story that would that would play off the evil of human personality I feel like that's where it was really going with it. It's not a problem with the alcohol Which is how wendy explains it. It was oh, he just drank too much It was an inherent problem with his psyche It was something that that unlocked the alcohol unlocked for him That's terrible So judge so here's a question does jack have the shining Because it seems that only people who have it can see what other people and places communicate through The shining also it seems familial so While I was watching it until I realized that at the end wendy ends up seeing things She doesn't see anything for a while now My question is does jack have the shining because he was so susceptible to the shining From the overlook hotel because they lay the track for You know dany having the shining and therefore he can communicate through the shining with Halloran and halloran explains that to him that you know people can have the shining but also places can have the shining So that got me thinking that oh, okay, because that's the case Maybe jack is so susceptible to the outlook because Or the overlook because he has the shining and the overlook has the shining and that's how the communication is going on Now that's a little bit busted up when later Um, like I said, I realized that wendy was starting to see things at the end But that doesn't mean that he he didn't have the shining though because the other thing is Halloran had said that I believe his grandmother had the shining as well Which leads me to believe that it's a familial thing that it's Passed through genetics So jack could have had the shining and like I said, I feel like that if he had the shining that made him more susceptible to Um, you know the wiles of the hotel So, you know because things would seem more real in that sense To him The presence of all of all the native american designs in the hotel are kind of play like they're the spirits of native americans Because of the burial ground that was there It's a good way to visually show that Even though the burial ground was moved The spirit is still there and it's a weird thing Honestly for for a hotel to have moved an indian burial ground and then have a bunch of decoration from that culture A little weird, but for the film it works Um, and then I have to kind of the last thing I need to tell you I I have to share with you I had met robert england uh at a monster mania Year or two ago. Um, I think two years ago now and he He and I got talking somehow about The About the shining well actually I remember how it happened because I was talking to him about an interview He did for the post mortem podcast with mcgaras and then he started talking about oh, I love mcgaras and he's like Oh, you know mcgaras did a made for tv series of the shining and then he started talking about how steven king hated scoob rick's just shining and it was just really cool that robert england One of my favorite screen villains was talking to me about one of my favorite horror films or one of my favorite films period But he had an amazing quote that I want to pass along to everyone about it he was talking about the big difference between the book and the movie and that was that um Before in the book apparently before jack torrance goes to the overlook hotel. He's a good guy There's no indication that there's any problems with him. There wasn't the abuse Prior to getting there now obviously in the movie. He had some evil tendencies. He had the abuse He had a drinking problem and all that so the way robert england explained it is he said In the movie before he goes to the overlook hotel The devil already has one finger up his ass And I just I thought that's a really funny quote, but it's a cool quote too, especially because it came from robert england So I will never forget that and I wanted to pass that along to everyone out there. So Anyway, I think people can probably guess what my rating on this is going to be but out of five stars With half stars in play. It's a five star film. This film's amazing. There's a reason people talk about it all the time It's highly highly lauded Rightfully so it holds up so well. I love this film. I love watching it every time I watch it um It's phenomenal. It is truly so thanks everyone for checking this out and I will be doing like I said a review of dr sleep Uh pretty much after right after I've recorded this.
