Write your name, your grade and your review.
I like this movie because it has all the character of Stephen King films and the director of the film plays with the mind of one making it think that it has an awaited end in addition it plays with the time of the movie giving him another perspective of this one. It is one of my favorite horror films because it contains blood, mystery, horror, a good argument and a good picture and good locations, This film was made in the 80's and that makes it look more mysterious because the hotel is isolated from today's technology and it was preserving many of the furniture of the previous decades I loved Jack's role because it was a role of a complete lunatic. In the film it is necessary to improve some aspects because sometimes it becomes very slow and bores.
ReplyDeleteGood work! you got 141 words and I got lost at the second line a little, but it's o.k.

For me this movie has its good and bad things.
DeleteThe story of this film may at first seem a bit boring , but when you go along you realize how you're wrapping , then you do not feel like stopping and you want to continue what is happening until the final, one of the things that I liked of this movie was the last scene where the boy runs into the maze and then left it manages to escape with her mom , also the background music when was going to happen something suspenseful or scary , but sometimes was more afraid the music than what it was going to happen .Something that I really didn`t like was that sometimes there were fictitious scenes, such as when she started dating the alleged 'blood' seemed aniline .
Nevertheless, and given that the film was the 80's I think it is a good film, besides it would be a good example for you to see the difference between the films from before an from now and I recommend it for you to see.

The Shining was a good movie, but what i liked the most was the last part when Mr.Torrance when crazy and he searched his family to kill them, I liked when the father goes inside the labyrinth to search his son to kill him, I liked because this movie its about horror,I liked the part when he is trapped in the pantry and ghost appears to tell him to kill his family, the mother and the son were smarter than Mr. Torrance because they were able to avoid him, all the actors did a good job thats what I really liked.

For me The Shining was a great movie because, it’s about horror and thriller constantly, also was a good movie because it’s an original idea, I’ve never seen anything like this movie what i liked the most was the scene in which the wife of Mr Torrance was locked in the bathroom. Also I loved when Mr Torrance killed the nigger because it was a bloody murder and the last scenes when the kid was running in the labyrinth and Mr Torrance freezes to death, In conclusion is a good horror and suspense movie, it managed to keep me entertained, I really liked it.
ReplyDeleteYou got 104 words. Remember that I is always with CAPITAL LETTERS. Nigger is not a good word, try to avoid it. The thing is that is doesn't look like your writing, I wonder if you has some help...
DeleteSo,, to get your grade, I need you to write a comment on one of your classmates' posts.
The Shining is by far one of the greatest horror movies of all time, and one of my favorites, because is not the typical constant screamer horror movie, but it has a really complex history behind it, but, to be honest, I love this movie because the great work Jack Nicholson did in it, the way he goes from being a really normal guy, with a normal family, from going to this crazy guy because of solitude, its just perfect, and my favorite part of course is the first time he hallucinates with the bartender, this shows how much he needed a drink, and the way our mind can act to get what we want even if its not real.
ReplyDeleteIt i a great review. I like that you like the movie and I found the review almost perfect.

The movie is really bad. Its supposed to be scary?, well it didn't achievement, also the actors are so bad they over exaggerate there character, their performance looks ridiculous and made me laugh, the opposite of a horror movie, also some of her scenes do not make sense and doesn't have nothing to do with the movie, the movie is very predictable like you know whats going to happend there's not any suspense no need to say that is really boring and slow the only thing that makes suspense was the music, it shouldn’t be classified as a horror movie.
ReplyDeleteVery good review, I could feel what you think about the movie. You just need to pay attention to some stuff.

I liked this movie so much, it's one of my favorite movies because the story is bizzarre and it's very well directed.
ReplyDeleteThis movie is quite stange because it's Kubrick's version of the story and it is totally different from the book.
You can truly see some Kubrick magic on this film.
The shots on this film are great and unique, i hated wendy's wardrobe, she looked like a fruit during the whole movie.
My favorite scene is when Jack is destroying the bathroom door with an axe, the way the camera moves with the axe is amazing. I liked Jack because he's getting mad and he doesn't notice at all.
Wendy screams a lot and it's kind of uncomfortable and awkward, she is not supposed to be a drama queen. Danny's role is great, it is well played and Jack Nicholson's performance is shocking, i mean, it is difficult to be on screen as the principal character and having people scared, confused and exited.
Honestly, the secondary characters are not that strong, but it was Torrance's insanity and Nicholson's faces and lines that keeps you biting your nails.

ReplyDeleteI like so much this movie because is one of the most significative in the genre of horror, also the movie have a great history based in the book written by Stephen King a great writer of horror books like for example Carrie, It and Misery. This movie is really catchy and exciting, I like when Jack Torrance begins to slowly go insane to the point of madness. But my favorite part is when Jack Torrance is totally crazy and pursues his family with an ax, his wife locks herself in the bathroom and he breaks the door with his ax and says the famous phrase “Here’s Johnny”

ReplyDelete“The shining” is a horror film from the 80’s, in which Jack Nicholson stars as man who gets a job for the winter in a hotel. He moves to the hotel with his wife and son, but during the time they are there, the Jack’s character turns in a crazy man who wants to kill all his family. The son has problems because of the ghosts that live at the hotel and the mom is a very nervous woman that screams a lot. This story is based on a book written by Stephen King. Frankly the movie is a little weird and violent, I just can’t stand all that blood, and when I’m searching for a horror film I want it to scare me, this film just made me feel disgusted. But anyway isn’t so bad.
Great work!
DeleteI just want you to stick more to the statement and write a review more than retelling the story (check out some of your classmates' reviews). I liked the last three lines.
Besides, you say Besides, it isn't so bad. It refers to the movie, remember we always need a pronoun or noun before the verb.
Grade: A
"The shining", for me, In general the movie was a little boring, I just like the last part where I can watch more emotion, sometimes it was unreal, but I think it is because the movie is very antique, the movie don't have good efects, for example: blood seemed blackberry juice. Also, the movie is difficult to understand. On the other hand, the actors were nice, they achieve to transmit me emotions. The most prominent emotionts were: despair, confusion, uncertainty, preoccupation. It would be good if they record one more time the movie and improve somethings.

My point of view of “The shining” is that it’s a great movie, but it’s a little boring, when I was seeing it I just don’t felt thrilled with it. On the one hand it has a good story with amazing actors and characters, but on the other hand it’s a little unreal, it doesn’t have good effects and I think that it could have more aspects from the book by Stephen King, for example the end, because some people told me that he’s an excellent writer; for something the people say that the books are better than the movies.

ReplyDeleteJack has a new job. The Job is looking after a Hotel. He goes to the Hotel with his family and he wants to write a novel while he is in the hotel.
When Jack’s family is in the Hotel, weird things happen. Jack’s son is called Danny and He has something strange and he thinks this weird thing lives in his mouth and his parents think that is an imaginary friend. This strange thing is the shining. Danny can survive because the shining shows what happen in the hotel.
The movie has suspense scenes and mysterious situations. I like this movie.

ReplyDeleteThe film the shinig found me interesting but very unrealistic given that, as it is normal in many films there are times that do not use logic, as by the fact that Miss Wendy didn't fit through the window knowing how is your body, or when fell Mulberry juice by the elevator; the plot seemed to me to be excellent, I really liked the story that claimed.

I think the movie was a so-so movie because it had a good story that is interesting. Also because it has a pychological horror genre and this makes you think several personalities of the main characters themselves. But it is a bad movie because it goes very slow because of all the suspense they put to each scene and this makes the movie last longer based on the same in different scenes. It is a movie which doesn't have a very scary scenario according to it is gender, besides it is so different from the book. I didn't like the movie at all.
ReplyDeleteGood work, but you just need to work on some stuff:
DeleteYou don't say the movie is so-so, this is so informal. Instead, you can say The movie was fair...
I also want you to write tis way in class.... because I have not seen such writings there... I have my doubts and if you want your grade, better write a comment of one of your classmates' reviews.
THE SHINING
ReplyDeleteThe film is very interesting, I like. But if it is compared with the book, is very incomplete.
They omitted some important moments in this story. In addition, the book describes much more in-depth thoughts and situations that the reader is much easier to understand the scene.
I think that it makes no sense the part in which Wendy encloses Jack in the food room and she goes to sleep, After jack escapes with no explanation, Wendy inadvertently has sleeping in the room. I recommend it to teens and older people, because in this film you can see strong scenes.

The movie "The Shining", in my personal opinion it's very bad, the libretto is very elaborate what makes not seem at all believable, and therefore does not seem that the actors interpreted their part well, except Jack Nicholson that interprets Jack Torrance, was who saved the film and gave the mystery. The theme I think is excellent, the idea of a family locked up for the winter in a hotel with past history the massacres is showy, but is very slow, the suspense that happens when it is finishing the movie. . It is an hour of nothing of action, which is for what one waits on having seen a movie with so good name as “The shining”

I think that “The shining” Is a excellent horror film because it has all the pillars that every horror film should have, A good plot , good effects , the indispensable excellent music and excellent cast for example the acting of Jack Nicholson is faultless, this movie goes through the hard process of being filmed in really simple place, this shows that the movie did a lot with a little, Kubrick did a really nice job, maybe the movie is not completely like the book, but is a nice adaptation, let’s say that I give it a 8.5 out of 10.

ReplyDelete“the shining” is a great movie i like the history but when the movie started i thought that the movie was about drama for the title.
Really is a scary movie ? For me the shining is a drama movie, I don’t felt fear, I believe that the movie need more darkness because is a scary movie; I wait two hours to happen something really scary or maybe something crazy , I have seen many scary movie , but for me this movie is weird and different because is a combination of a crazy man , a naive mother , an especial boy , a ghosts and a big hotel .
I would read the book only to compare the book with the movie and also is a weird book because I think that the book have a great and original idea .

For me this movie is not good, but not bad either. It is good in that ,whiles passing, it becomes somehow "uncomfortable" so to speak, because for me this is not exactly a horror movie, but rather gives us a certain expectation versus what will happen, that's what allows us not lose the thread of the history. I think it was something bad in the sense that I expected maybe something else at the end, there are scenes where you wonder “When did this happen?" Or "Why did this happen?". But in conclusion, the movie seemed to me quite interesting.

I think it is a good movie, because it is a film that caused me fear and a few laughs. It is a film which tells the story of a family where the father wanted to write, and he got the opportunity to write in a hotel during the winter, the hotel was called the Overlook Hotel, I liked parts of the movie when the father went crazy for so long, because he was locked in the hotel during the winter, and he sees that his family doesn’t support him on his work, he gets angry and begins to see things imagined on his mind, his wife and son believe he became another person, a crazy person. This environment makes the film very good.

ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the reaction to a lot of my Friends, when they say that movie is bad and boring, I investigated the film and later I wrote my review:
The shining, 1980 horror film directed by Stanley Kubrick, this is Stanley masterpiece, others big movies of Stanley are "2001: a space Odyssey" y "a clockwork orange" famous for put a hidden messages in his movies, for discover this message you should to see the movie again and again, I recommend the documentary "room 237".
I like the old horror movies, the soundtrack is excellent, and this didn’t scare me but I didn't wait it.
Talking more about the movie I like the jack’s character, he looks like a real psychopath, but my favorite character is Danny, the kid who have a special power, Danny is the first who experienced the paranormal events when he saw the sisters, I like to see as jack became crazy…

When Danny grabbed the knife, i thought that he would kill his moher Wendy, but he didn't do it. The movie is so unpredictable. About the cast, i like jack's character, he acted very good, i don't like Wendy's character because she was very dumb and everything she did was screaming and running all the movie, Danny's character was interesting because the kid really made an effort to play the role

1. The use of CAPITAL LETTERS (at he beginning of sentences, proper names and after period)
2. you cannot say "is" you need to say "it is"
3. the use of COMMAS AND PERIODS IS A MUST
4. sometimes it has a translator air.
by the way, you don't say wife... you say his wife, the wife...

ReplyDeleteThe shining is a predictable but an interesting movie. It is developed in original scenarios with an excellent actor that makes the movie very catchy.
What I like the most from the movie was the acting of jack Nicholson, it was so good, his crazy look and the psycho smile makes you feel scare.
I think that the movie could have more scary scenes, and I really liked if the scene of the murder in 1970 was include in the movie.
The end of the shining was so predictable, the typical killer trying to kill his family. The last scene was so confusing with the photos of years ago with jack on them.
Good work! Your ideas were clear and well written (in most of the case)
Deletejust pay attention to a few things:
1. Use of CAPITAL LETTERS for proper names.
2. you feel scareD, scare is the action
3. was includeD

The Shining
ReplyDeleteGood, but I expected a bit more from this movie.
I liked it, but it was not the best. I found the movie a bit boring as it is very long and little terror. The scenario that unfolds is fascinating and their scenes are really disturbing, yet manages very well to convey the feeling of claustrophobia. so considering the extension of the outcome of the film results in boredom and oppression for the looks. I would have liked more if I could have more. a little more excitement and entertainment.

Deletethe movie is very good but the effects specials are not good. the scenery is exellent and I achieved a landscape of terror. also i like the suspense of the movie and you drama. your characters acted good and also i like the effect of loneliness. I think what I miss this movie was a little more entertainment and emotions as it is very long. CORRECTION alejandro gallego 9-3
DeleteI think the movie is excellent according to the time it was made. I think that the plot is very complex and it keeps you entertained, because you think it is predictable, which it's not.
ReplyDeleteI really liked Jack's role, he acts like a real psycho
the kid is a great actor, his faces were very expressive. I didn't like Wendy's role, it's very stressful and she didn't know how to respond to Jack's behavior, in most parts of the movie all she did was squeak and squeak.
The last part was good, it's one of those movies that put your brain to work because it is confusing.

ReplyDeleteI like the movie 'The Shining' because it has an interesting story, the main actor 'Jack Torrance' played by Jack Nicholson made an excellent performing, especially in the drastic change from a sane person to be a psychopath who wants to kill his family, however the story does not focus so much on the characters but in the hotel where there have been terrible cases, the most distinguished was the case of a man who went crazy and killed his family with an axe in the hotel also moments of suspense are excellent its effects are very well managed I also like the end of the film and the performance of Danny.

The Shining .I liked the movie because is scary & interesting. my favorite part bit was when Jack entered to the bathroom,and saw the CRAZY nude woman,who doesn't talks!,doesn't that seems even normal?,whatever,he is seduced by the crazy woman,and cheats his wife in,but then she becomes a horrible witch with putrid flesh.And then he runs like a crybaby.In general is a very well directed movie,and I knew a lot of Kubrick’s style,the movie is full of tension,,ghosts,blood,death and blood,,Personally I screamed a lot during the movie,what makes it more amusing!.It has a plethora of terrific things like that darn hedge maze or ROOM 237 or THE SHINING between Doc. and Dick Halloran,the bad thing,they kill Dick first.

The Shining. Is a very regular movie because the characters for example Mr. Thorner was greatly exaggerated , on the other hand if I noticed the last part that I could understand it better.
ReplyDeleteI want to emphasize that when investigating movie saw it was a great movie with very good reviews.
for other hand, if I see the film as a comedy definitely would say that is the best of all, I laughed more danny's mom but again to emphasize that the actress who plays the danny's mom is an excellent actress does anyone what she managed with her role in the movie.
Finally, I want to say that the only thing that gave me a little scary character were killed as the twins and the old woman.

1. the interesting of the movie = the most interesting about the movie is...

For my the movie was really bad, i didn't find the sense, it's really confusing . i dont think that the movie is interesting at all not even that a hotel was damned. They were a normal family but it was really extrange that imaginary friend that Danny have after what happend with the father. I think that a some of the characters leave the history incomplete they just dissapears ando some other appears from nowhere and you never understand why. In my personal opinion i would not recommend this movie not even see it again because i get so bored and i almost fall slept

I think that the movie was interesting because it isn´t as commom as the other ones because of its suspence and horror parts. Which are well represented mixed with moments. Of humor that gave a little relaxation to the movie. The actors performed very well their characters and their faces expressed the moments passing by the movie.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, in some excerps from the movie i got bored because it became very monotonus and i think the end remained unfinished, it was not clear to me. I think that something was missing i can conclude that there is a big difference with what is written in the book because it is more complete and gives us a very clear idea of what happens all the time.

This movie I found a very good movie, with a plot and too entertaining story, I think the actor Jack Nicholson who makes the character of Mr. Torrance is very good actor I think his gestures and everything he does is very expressive, and conveys to the people that he want to kill his own family too child, Danny Lloyd in the movie called Danny Torrance I think does a very good job but the actress Shelley Duvall actress seems a bad actress and very exaggerated but in general the movie is so good and the producers did a good work

I do not love this movie but not the hate, it is admirable the great work of the actors personally love, is not one of the typical horror movies taking intoaccount the genre of this movie is the subgenre of psychological horror, personally I liked it because it is not one of those horror movies where you know the "mad murderer" you kill them all, and only stay one which kills him on, what I like most is the way as jack torrance is losing his sanity and claustrophobia will attack your mind,ending I didn't like the end but excellent actors ..

ReplyDeleteThe main actor JACK NICHOLSON is an excellent actor, because it has that quality to convey to the viewer what he was feeling through the role it had to do, and that's something that an actor can not stop losing.
To summarize the story, the movie is very good, which deserves repetition.

The film is very entertaining, it is a great classic of Stephen King, is a different and very creative story. As the the movie progresses, we find many surprises, and unpredictable things, which is very important in a horror movie. The characters perform a very good and realistic work and has very good actors. Spite of being a relatively old movie, the effects are not bad and are quite realistic. The end of the film is a little tangled and difficult to understand, but that's what catches the attention.
ReplyDeleteIn short, a great film, a film that catches all who see it.

The film does not meet all the concepts of a scary movie. The story has a good plot, but during the link just the same suspense and lots of blood is observed. Personally I think that books are better than the movies, and this is no exception. It would have been lovely being able to know a little more about Mr. Grady and his family. Similarly, I compost producer choose the fact excellent scenery and good funds. The film is based on good concepts, but I think that the actors have had a good connexion with his characters, has exception of Mr. Torrance.

The shining, from my point of view is a very good movie, I liked the gore scenes and the gestures from the main character, Jack. Also, I liked how the "imaginary friend", Tony tried to give a warning of what was going to happen there, the way they get trapped and isolated makes this film more interesting...is like you know that something bad is going to happen and then, you can't scape from that. I didn't like when Mr. Halloran went to help them and he couldn’t do anything to help because he was murdered too fast, also I didn’t like how Wendy was interpreted, she was way better on the book and overacted on the movie.

I haven’t read the book yet, so I can’t say how well it is adapted. I can personally say it is a good movie because it has the right amount of suspense and also good effects. Jack Nicholson did an excellent job as Mr. Torrence, he's a great actor. Some of the Danny’s gestures seemed to me just a little bit exaggerated. Unlike many movies I've seen, the blood looked so real. It was an excellent movie, but it wasn’t the best I’ve seen. I can say that the performances could be better and sometimes sound effects, according to me, exceeded the volume.

So, well Teacher.
DeleteMy comment is about Maria Jose's comment.
She says that " The Shining" was a good movie, as it has good effects and the suspense is right for her, she says she liked the work of the actor Jack N , interpretting to Mr Torrance in the movie.
Says too that ,some aspects of the movie like the costumes and the volume, could be better, but, still be a great movie, and the effects like the blood are very real.
I liked because is a suspense movie and story is catchy. Although in my tastes aren't the scary movies, I think the horror of 1980 isn’t a horror like now that only produces disgust. Is a good movie, it produces a pleasant fear. I felt part of the movie, because I felt that Jack Torrance was going out of the movie and he was going to kill us. I caused much laughter the Jack face when appeared dead in the snow.
ReplyDeleteI didn’t like the movie because had very bloody parts; I didn’t like the end, because I didn’t know what happened with Danny, it had an incomplete end to me. I didn’t understand the end. But overall it is a good movie and I liked

ReplyDeleteI think the movie is very good because the movie is about ghosts and crazy people. For example in the final, when Jack sees a little girl and he shouts: ¡she is a ghost!, after that he decided to pursue his son (Danny) because Jack was very crazy. And I liked when Danny can see what happened in the hotel, but he was scared because Halloran says that he can see ghosts. For example when they were eating an ice cream and Halloran says that he cannot enter in the room 237 because in that room a lot of people was killed. After that, I liked when Wendy defended her son because Jack wanted to kill them. Finally Wendy gets a knife and hurts Jack and he dies frozen because he can not reach them.

ReplyDeleteThe shining, I think this was a good and bad movie at the same time, I liked the movie because it has different themes to focus in, but I did not like because the actress who was the wife of the main character.... was a little ugly and expressions were very bad to be an actress, on the other hand the child seemed a great actor to me because sometimes showed his innocence and also when he changed to Tony he did a great performance, and the main character for his sinister expressions and craziness were very good, and for me it was the one that most stood out in his performance

SUMMARY OF THE BOOK - Catalina Martinez Diaz 9-5
ReplyDeleteJOB INTERVIEW
This chapter begins with a thought about Jack Torrance "officious little prick". Ullman was thinking this about a man called Jack Torrance. Ullman was interviewing Jack for a job as caretaker of the Overlook Hotel. Ullman starts to talk with Jack about his family, and Ullman asks Jack if her wife and his son (Dany) have knowledge about what she is going to live, because of living all winter in the hotel, and Jack tells Ullman that there is no problem because his family is really nice people.
After this, Ullman starts to show Jack the plans of the hotel and to describe it floor by floor, Ullman was telling Jack about all rooms available on each floor. The hotel has 110 rooms but he said that the basement is the most important floor of all, specially in winter because this is the floor where the action is, the reason he told this is because in the basement is the boiler and that a man called Watson was going to teach Jack all about the basement and its operation.
After all this, Ullman tells Jack that he is offering the Job to him because a man called Al Shockley recommended him for the job and because he has power in the hotel because he is part of the group of directors. Ullman gives Jack the job, but he thinks Jack is not able to take care about the responsibilities.
Then, Ullman talks about the history of the hotel. Ullman says that the hotel was built by a man called Townley Watson in 1909. After 6 years the hotel was sold because its owner didn’t know how to manage the hotel. And Ullman told Jack that during World War II the hotel was closed.
SHADOWLAND
One day Dany was looking out the window and was thinking about his parents. In the story that a friend had told him, his friend told him that his parents had fought and had divorced. Dany also thought that his parents would do the same, because their parents thought about it frequently. Dany remembered a day when his father was drunk and accidentally shed juice on his work, Jack got so angry and he broke dany's arm, so this is why his parents had thought about getting divorced.
Another day, while Dany was focused on understanding his parents, Dany heard a voice saying: “Dany come here, Dany come here” it was his imaginary friend Tony, who showed him that under the stairs, there was a trunk that inside it was the work that his father needed.
After this, his father was looking for the trunk and Dany told him that it was under the stairs, Dany told them that Tony had told him about it, but their parents did not believed him.
Dany decided to go to his room, but before getting to his bedroom, Dany heard Tony, who wanted to show him a room.
Signs started to come out of the walls and despite Dany did not know how to read, he was really scared. When Dany entered the room, he could see a strange word and he wondered what did it mean, but in that moment he could not figure it out.
