BOOK BY STEPHEN KING cinematic masterpiece by Stanley Kubrick.
Shining (The Shining, faithfully translated would sound like "glitter" or "Shimmer".
This translation è quella scelta per il doppiaggio italiano) rappresenta una tappa dell'itinerario di attraversamento-appropriazione-sfondamento dei generi operata da Kubrick nel corso della sua carriera.
Nel romanzo omonimo da cui il film è tratto, Stephen King rielabora in chiave thriller il topos caro alla letteratura di fantasmi della casa infestata, trasformandola in albergo e mettendo in rapporto con gli avvenimenti soprannaturali che vi si verificano un nucleo familiare composto da una coppia e dal loro unico figlio dotato di poteri paranormali.
BREVE TRAMA
Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson), scrittore fallito, unemployed teacher with a problem of alcoholism and accepts the job of guardian winter in a huge hotel in Colorado, the Overlook, lost between distant mountains and countless hours of travel from any town.
In their interview, the hotel manager Stuart Ullman, says the work is not heavy but reserve problems of adaptation required to remain isolated from the snow five months, ten years before In fact, another name in charge of Delbert Grady, during his long stay with his wife and daughters, he suffered a nervous breakdown, losing the strong light of reason and exterminated the whole family with an ax.
almost amused Jack argues that this is not a type of situations that could happen to it, at the end of the opening season, he moved with his wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and son Danny.
Danny, Jack's son has telepathic abilities, immediately noted by the African-American cook, Mr. Halloran, who reveals himself to be in possession of so-called "glints "(shining), or through some sort of power with which people can predict future events, reliving those past and communicate with each other.
Man confides to Danny that lived in the hotel's might see some of the bloody events that have happened, but should not be afraid because they are not real images.
The recommended approach, however, not completely to room 237, but without another word.
"WENDY? ARE AT HOME, LOVE."

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NOVEL & FILM
When Stephen King saw the film, I was disappointed, saying that was not much inherent in his novel, which had been cast. In response, Kubrick said that the book was not a great masterpiece. "
room * The protagonist of the book is 217, not 237.
* The death of Jack Torrance is different in the book is caused by the explosion of the boiler, in Jack film in order to kill Danny, is lost in the maze the Overlook Hotel dying exposure: in the book the hotel is destroyed by the explosion of the boiler and the resulting fire, nothing happens in the movie of this.
* In the book, Wendy is blonde, while the film is blackberry. In addition, Jack and Wendy are considerably younger in the text: Jack, we learn how to read, has just 30 years, while in the movie the actor Jack Nicholson has 43.
* In the book there are many more characters. Just to name a few: Al Shockeley, friend and colleague Jack has found the job all'Overlook talking Ullman and spent many nights drinking with relatives, the Dr. Bill Edwards, the student beaten by Jack when he's washing the tires of the car, the two gay ghosts Harry and Roger (who appear in the book for a long time while in the film are seen in only one appearance), guard Howard, etc. .. .
* In the book, Ullman is a cynical director who thinks only of the job and that will smooth his superiors, earning their respect, and the hatred of his subject. Ullman in the movie is nice and friendly.
* In the book, Jack is holding a bat roque to attack his family, while the film has an ax: in fact, Hallorann, when hit by Jack in the book survives, while in the film dies.
* Kubrick in the film ha completamente tralasciato le siepi a forma di animali, le quali si animano durante la notte e attaccano Halloran, Danny e Wendy, in quanto troppo difficili da fare: optò invece per un labirinto di siepi.
