One of the best horror films ever made was released on
may 23rd 1980. Directed by Stanly Kubrick,it a tale of
a family that heads to an isolated hotel for the
winter. Once there the father is overcome by some sort
of evil presence which turns him into an evil, violent
psychopath. It is a spell binding movie with a lot of
graphic scenes of blood letting.A masterpiece of modern
horror!
This movie will keep you glued to your seats. I would
not recommend it for children unless you plan on
staying up all night with them.
The lead actor, Jack Nicholson, plays such a
convincing role that at times it seems he is not
acting--a true sign of a great performance. His
wife,played by Shelly Duvall, and his son,played by
Danny Lloyd also gave really believable performances.
To understand the attraction of this movie, I believe
that you have to know some history about the leading
character.
John Joseph Nicholson was born April 22, 1937 is a
three time Academy Award-winning American actor
internationally renowned for his often dark-themed
portrayals of neurotic characters.
Jack Nicholson has been nominated for an Academy Award
12 times and has won three times (twice for Best Actor
and once as Best Supporting Actor). He is tied with
Walter Brennan for most acting wins by a male actor and
second to Katharine Hepburn for most acting wins
overall He is also one of only two actors nominated for
an Academy Award for acting in every decade since the
1960. He has won seven Golden Globe Awards, and
received a Kennedy Center Honor in 2001. In 1994, he
became one of the youngest actors to be awarded the
American Film Institutes Life Achievement Award. He is
best known for his films Chinatown, One Flew Over the
Cuckoo's Nest, Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, As Good
as It Gets, Tim Burton's Batman, and Martin
Scorsese's The Departed.
To understand Nicholson one must first examine his
early childhood. Nicholson was brought up believing
his grandparents, John J. Nicholson and Ethel May
Rhoads were his parents. Nicholson only discovered that
his parents were actually his grandparents and his
sister was in fact his mother in 1974
Nicholson started his career as an actor, writer, and
producer, working for and with Roger Corman, among
others. His first real taste of writing success was
the LSD-fueled screenplay for 1967's The Trip, which
starred Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper. However, after a
spot opened up in Fonda and Hopper's Easy Rider, it
led to his first big acting break.
A Best Actor nomination came the following year for his
role in Five Easy Pieces. He also appeared in "On a
Clear Day You Can See Forever". Nicholson earned his
first Best Actor Oscar for portraying Randle P.
McMurphy in the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
His first movie as a director was a 1971 movie called
"Drive, He Said"
It was in 1980 that he made "The Shining" Although he
did not receive any Oscar nominations in this movie, it
was one of his best performances.
During the eighties he stared in many more roles and it
was the blockbuster movie "BATMAN" that earned him
as estimated $60 million. In the 1992 movie 'A Few
Good men" he played a marine Colonel. He was nominated
for another Razzie Awards.One of his best roles came
in 1996 in which he played a Boston Irish mob boss in
"The Departed"
But through out all the years,"The Shining" still
remains one of the best performances by Nickolson. A
really true masterpiece of modern horror!
