Very Very Overrated Film!

Rating: 4/10 (12 January 2016)

The movie has a very good photography, but the plot left much to desire!... because of his length, one can think that it'll be a good film... however, its a very flat story, a total lack of good complexity,...it has an artificious and pretentious argument that lead nowhere.
the movie, as time goes by, is gathering certain good elements, that when you see them, you could think that are the signs of something big is gonna happen, it has a hedge maze, the twins... the ghosts... well.. several things that suddenly kubrick decides to trash it all... for example .. when the black man dies.. i mean... he had the shining... he tries desperately to save the child.. and then just die... if the shining was warning him about the child.. why couldn't warning him about himself?.. i don't know.. maybe just a little flash premonition.. something like that.. whatever.. also at the scene when jack begins to attack his wife... when she just read the sheets that he was writing and it was just an endlessly repeated sentence... there wasn't reason yet to make her cry like that... she allegedly should not know nothing at all about his plans, it was just maybe a premonition or suspicion .. why she'd to start to cry?... and even they write the days in some scenes.. as if that were important...i mean.. does not affect anything at all! i know.. maybe i should read the book... but also, maybe Kubrick should adapt it better... and what about the final scene when jack is dead in the cold with a ridiculous expression?!.. what is this game about? thank you!
