What's his fucking problem? He is a huge cunt even before shit goes down
Jack Torrance
He just wanted to finish his book
It would have been a master piece if his wife would have been more supportive.
Ugly wife and autistic son.
That’s the point.
so he's a slow reader?
That's your brain on alcohol
he molested danny
hes a predator
He's a bitter, violent alcoholic who struggles with his own inability to write.
He's a self insert for Stephen King, so yeah he's a cunt.
Alcoholic with anger problems and delusions. In the book, he talks about being accused of abusing a student and denies it, and then casually admits to it in passing and brushes it off. He also runs over a kid riding a bike and just leaves the scene of the crime
Sounds like way more of an asshole in the book, in the movie he never runs over a kid and only hurts Danny once and after that he stops drinking. I thought he was supposed to be a good guy initially in the book and that's why Stephen King didn't like the movie
stephen king didn't like the movie because the book was about alcoholism or something and Kubrick tossed that in the trash
that's why King hates the movie so much. He didn't like the suggestion that maybe he's just a shitty person.
Book Jack is a self insert for King. In King’s drug addled mind, Jack is a genuinely good guy, and all of the bad shit he’s done in the past was because of his struggle with alcoholism. In Kubrik’s work, as in the real world, abusive alcoholics become abusive alcoholics because they were shitty people to begin with.
Jack is definitely not supposed to be a good guy; even before his breakdown/possession in the Overlook he's just full of wrath and hate
This is a great movie, visually stunning amazing sound but why do people think its deep
No one considers it deep, people think it had a hidden meaning to it but not deep
Is jack a cool name? I want to name my soon to be born son something not faggy
What exactly counts as "deep" to you guys?
it's a chad name for sure, if that's what you're going for
Well my friend says there is alot to the movie and he gets new things from it everytime
What was the point of this
Amazing movie. Deep, not deep? Who cares. At least it's fun trying to interpret the movie
i am worried i might end up like him, minus wife and kid. for real. it cuts deep.
