Why was he such an asshole to his wife?
Why was he such an asshole to his wife?
He liked to fuck Danny and she was getting in the way
That's how you're supposed to treat women..
I'm sorry your dad raped you.
The book explains this in a bit more detail, but he loathed himself and took it out on her. She stayed with him despite him being an alcoholic who broke their son’s arm while drunk. And also after he got fired from his job for beating up a student who slashed his tires. He didn’t actually hate her or his son, he absolutely hated himself. The movie does a poor job of relating how all of this ties back to him being an unstable lush. They do definitely show he has a drinking problem but it’s not as well fleshed out.
Because Kubrick didnt understand the book
the book was retarded and kubrick only improved the garbage story
That's all well and good but the hedge animals coming to life is absolutely retarded and the reason why this movie is better than the book.
I consider the Kubrick version to almost be a reimagining of the book. It’s more horror focused and less focused on alcoholism. It also takes minor creative liberties which is fine. It drove King nuts though, to the point that he endorsed the made for TV version of The Shining which was more true to the book.
It was the 1970’s. I think people were just more easily frightened then.
King is fucking cuck leftist. His opinion doesn't matter.
t. didnt read it
Don't be silly, it was my pleasure
There are no ghosts in Kubrick shinning
I can’t separate peoples works from their politics
Sounds like a you problem.
opinion
works
I'm sorry you can't separate your retardation from your brain.
FPBP
Hedge animals were scary because its from the perspective of a child. I thought the book did a very good job of immersing you in that perspective, but I guess reading isnt for everyone anon.
Post reeks of copium. Kubrick made a bad one, move on. The TV series was shit Ill grant you that.
He's right though, the personal life of someone doesn't have to invalidate whatever thing they created
Are you ESL or something? That was a perfectly cromulent sentence.
I didn’t mind the Kubrick Shining. It had its moments.
The kid is seeing dead people and his dad is trying to murder his mother and him. The hedge animals coming alive were retarded.
There’s scenes in Cujo written from the perspective of the dog. It’s the same thing. It is about perspective, like the other anon said. You wouldn’t find hedge animals moving scary. If you were a 5 year old child, alone, outdoors, you would shit yourself.
Look like he was just driving
why didnt she join in, is she selfish and a bad wife?
Just because kids have retarded perspectives doesn't mean you right it into your book.
Men were given a wife and kids and home back then even if they didn’t want it
Truly terrible times.
wasn't Wendy like an ex cheerleader and pretty hot in the book too? I know Stephen King still seethes to this day about how much she was changed.
im incapable of admitting i was wrong so i will act like a brainlet
He didn't want Bull Wendy dominating Hotwife Danny.
She was kind of funny lookin'
He probably wanted a better lookin' one
Also I think he hated that she just ran around screaming.
She was, and that’s more accurately reflected in the made for TV movie where his wife looks like a former cheerleader.
It's not your fault
Boomer: I hate my wife
Gen X onward: I hate my life
It's that simple
Every boomer “joke” revolves around how much they hate their wife. They’re fucking retarded.
Millenial: I hate your life
Zoomer: I hate

If you were married to a woman who looked like that, you'd treat her like shit too
She was super nice though. Good personality in woman goes a long way.
I met her in person around 2004. She came into the Blockbuster I worked at. I instantly recognized her, despite her being 24 years older than when in The Shining. She autographed the store display boxes for The Shining and the Casper the Ghost movie she was in. Very lovely woman in person and an interesting conversation.
is that a nice mansion i get to live in for a few weeks with my loving family?
It even has a chef that will prepare gourmet meals for us?
AAAAAA IM GOING INSANE
Steven King is an idiot.
Boomers had it so goddamn easy
have a steady job, a house and your own wife and kids by the time you're 30
They were so bored they just drank heavily and beat their wives all day
Now we have nothing and beat ourselves up instead, it's just not the same
The book
Let it go, Stephen
This says a lot about society
According to Kubrick he is evil for no reason.
Make me, bitch. I’m home right now. Even put a balloon up for ya
He just corrected her that's all
Theres no chef
Kek
He found out she was a dummy after the kid and marriage.
hedge animals coming alive isn't scary
Of course it's fucking scary, you're telling me that if everytime you turn your back and look again that inanimate objects changing positions wouldn't be scary ? That would be horrifying.
Unga bunga
Put down the Mountain dew and take a nap.
Think I’m joking? I’m right here. Come up to Bangor, tough guy.
Consider that they are mostly retarded before you envy them. Yes having shit done for you is great but they are basically like the people in Wall-e, unable to function like the rest of us.
I'm not him, but what a nice house.
The story clearly is about alcoholism and quitting but they took most of that out so the movie is about nothing
He was motivating her to improve herself. Ungrateful cow never even thanked him. He don't get no respect.
The film implied that he was a jerk
That's how it is. Having a woman sucks but the alternative is worse
Thanks. I spend most of my time in the converted loft towards the back. It’s where I do my writing. I can see the score at the baseball field behind my house from my window. Why? Because I paid for the field and demanded it.
