16/4 - THE SHINERS SHINING

first film diary entry. im going to try to be consistent and not worry about sounding smart (thus, the name). ill just spew uncensored thoughts and rants about shit i watch.

i watched the shining, yes it took me that long. i can really understand why its a classic. frankly jack's eyebrows deserve an oscar of themselves. and shelley duvall.... ARUGHHH i love this movie. one of my favorite details is how the halls are designed to be impossible to actually be real if ykwim. i didnt really like halloran's death though.... dude got fucking nothing JUST AXED out of nowhere after all he did for da family,,, which lead to NOTHING (except for the snowcat).... and of course the meaning of the film... hmm... i havent read the novel though. the main theme i picked up on was addiction. i didnt really understand the ending with the zoomin on the portrait (so... he was always the caretaker?) but phoneomalnal or however you spell that FILM!!!
