a movie that will always stay in my mind

Rating: 10/10 (5 December 2013)

Countless reviews have been written on The Shining and I don't feel that there's much I could add to that. Only that:
1) Personally I found the cast (with exception to Danny Lloyd) and their acting horrible (watch how the actors make gaps after each line, as if they were high-school students on a school play) but the cinematography ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING!
2) Kubrick displays his genius from the first second of the film, with the wide-angle views of the road to the hotel and all the following sets and direction in general.
3)The scene in which Wendy (Shelley Duvall) sees the typewriter and what Jack (Jack Nicholson) has been working on, is to me the most amazing, revealing, shocking, blood-freezing scene of all films, of all times.
4) The way in which Jack loses his mind is presented very believably and naturally, that it really makes you feel fear in it's raw, primal form.
