The big Kubrick with Nicholson (9.3)

Rating: 10/10 (26 April 2009)

The Shinning left the unavoidable mark of the teacher of all the goods in the tray of entrance of the terror cinema. Until that day, the movies of this noble family possessed two inherent characteristics to her: the effect blows and the dimness. With The Splendor, Kubrick concluded the gender and it took it forward a step.
It didn't look for the public's empathy in the face of Jack's existential adversity, but rather it prefixed the obvious resource of the novel of St. King to cook a gradual increase of the tension distancing the spectator of the acts of the great Nicholson emotionally. That was one of their biggest successes. The second, and that it puts title to this critic, the revolution that supposed to scare to the respectable one with more volts of light than a concert of the Village People was. It was a pleasant surprise to check in meats like a moonstruck one hitting a ball against a wall he/she gave more fear than any left zombie of ultratumba. The light showed us a mind perturbed with the same precision that the scalpel of a surgeon. And the sound terrified us: the wheels of a tricycle have more than enough wood and moqueta, the knocking of the ball against floor and wall, the keys of the typewriter even, how not to comment it, the great Verónica's bent voice Forqué creaking in a sublime way with each appearance in screen.
What does it produce more fear? To listen to peal against the wall or against some keys the solitary blows of a psychopath in crescendo minute to minute... or to contemplate to a malote between darkness and dress of black with a hook in the hand? Personally it scares me twice as much the first thing, since it brings near me to their reality in a clear and brilliant way.
Nobody has been able to depict those better "labyrinths" of the human mind as Kubrick in this stranger taken a bath movie of light and wrapped up by their sound, amen of giving us technical prowesses as that travelling level with floor that has gone by characteristic merit to head one of the best sequences in the cinema of all the times.
