Jack Torrance In The Shining

Stanley Kubrick's cold and frightening "The Shining" challenges the mind. In the opening scene at a job interview, we meet Jack Torrance, a man who plans to live for the winter in solitude and isolation with his wife and son. He will be the caretaker of the snowbound Overlook Hotel. His employer warns that a former caretaker murdered his wife and two daughters, and committed suicide, but Jack told him: "You can rest assured, Mr. Ullman, that's not gonna happen with me. And as far as my wife is concerned, I'm sure she'll be absolutely fascinated when I tell her about it. She's a confirmed ghost story and horror film addict.”
However, upon seeing his wife the killings were not a topic of discussion amongst Jack and his wife. One can assume that
Jack is also devilishly funny, from his sarcastic edge. Although Wendy at first seems a strange match for Jack, she eventually becomes crazy herself, her early lack of originality making her terror all the more extreme. Danny the son, and the hotel chef who, like Danny, has psychic powers, both give keen, steady performances as the story's naturalistic figures. Wendy, who is terrified by her enraged husband, perhaps also receives versions of this psychic output. At this point of the movie there is without a doubt that it is twisted, yet it challenges the mind to wonder about what takes place. The entire family eventually all lose reality together, being that they were isolated for quite sometime. The famous "Here's Johnny!" was brought back to life as Jack hatchets his way through the bathroom door to kill his wife Wendy, which was originally heard from the 1955 Johnny Carson
"Almost unbearable," she said. "Going through day after day of excruciating work, Jack Nicholson's character had to be crazy and angry all the time. And my character had to cry 12 hours a day, all day long, the last nine months straight, five or six days a week. I was there a year and a month. After all that work, hardly anyone even criticized my performance in it, even to mention it, it seemed like. The reviews were all about Kubrick, like I wasn't there (Roger Ebert). In conclusion, the married couple with a small son are employed to look after a resort hotel high in the Colorado Mountains. Played by Jack Nicholson, Shelly Duvall, and Danny Lloyd did a terrific job playing their roles. Also being that Kubrick the director really pushed them, it really brought out a more pristine performance by the actors. Kubrick only aims for perfection in his films, and that is what he did in this film “The Shining”. The intensity and uneasiness, which was the purpose of the film, carries throughout majority movie, even though there may have been a few “slow” scenes to the average movie watcher, it was overall a brilliant
