Here is a work by King that has garnered much praise over the decades, and I will do my due diligence and review it fairly and uncompromised. Afterward, I will put in my opinion and thoughts on both bodies of work. But the disputes the two endured is neither here nor there as I am only going to focus my review based on the source material, King's original novel. I couldn't have been more wrong in my assessment.
Again, I am a fan of the cult horror classic and thought that the two must-have collaborated on making the film.
I am a big fan of Kubrick's work, and to later find out that King had many ill feelings towards Kubrik's interpretation was a real let down. I am not going to dive deep and compare both the film and the novel's differences, but I will say that there are things that differ from one another. Having viewed the film on numerous occasions, it never occurred to me that I should pick up the novel and give it a read because I didn't think that there would be much in the way concerning significant differences. My eyes, transfixed on the little yellow Volkswagen Beetle wavering its way atop the cliff, contrived my vision to neglected them to see the name as it scrolled up and out of the frame. It wasn't until I was a little older in my young teens where I started to pay more attention to the film's credits, and there he was, Mr. Being a young individual, I was unaware of Stephen King's involvement with the film. My introduction to The Shining came by way of watching Stanley Kubrick's classic 1980 film of the same name. And the only one to notice the strange and terrible forces gathering around the Overlook is Danny Torrance, a uniquely gifted five-year-old. But as the harsh winter weather sets in, the idyllic location feels ever more remote. As the off-season caretaker at the atmospheric old hotel, he’ll have plenty of time to spend reconnecting with his family and working on his writing. Jack Torrance’s new job at the Overlook Hotel is the perfect chance for a fresh start.
