THE SHINING DI STEPHEN KING

The story is the same as that of the iconic Kubrick film: the little family that lives in the isolated hotel and the head of the family who goes crazy and tries to commit a massacre. King, who had complained about the cinematic adaptation of his story made by the brilliant Stanley Kubrick, had the "brilliant" decision to write the screenplay for a new "Shining" and entrust its direction to an unknown director and easily influenced by the ideas of the writer himself. The result is a four-hour movie, inconclusive, poorly interpreted (the male protagonist is unthinkable in comparison with the great Nicholson) and boring to the extreme. Even the ending, partly different from Kubrick's film but more faithful to the story, is forgettable. A ruined myth!
