THE ART OF GOOD ACTING

Rating: 9/10 (6 April 2018)

What I can remember mostly from this movie is how the acting was so insanely good, Jack Nicholson was splendid, he was so deep into the character, it so enjoyable to see him act! His face is a forever icon from horror classics, and let's not forget about Duvall, she was terrific, she deserves so much applauses from acting the anxiety, panic attacks and fear of her character. Nonetheless I don't totally think the way she was presented as a submissive woman was the ideal way to take by Kubrick.
I'm in love with the scene of they both in the stairs! The way how he calmly tries to kill her, their facial expressions, the dialog, the thing that she could have stepped wrong and fall, her weakness, and Jack actually being not a very good murderer.
The thing that they did the blood falling from "scratch" shows how Kubrick really had heart for the films he made.
