The rest of Stephen King’s film The brilliant does something impressive and corrects one of the most important problems in Stanley Kubrick’s film. The brilliant is a polarizing film, with many fans considering it as a masterpiece of horror cinema and others hate it for what it has changed compared to the original novel by King. Doctor Sleep I tried to repair these modifications.
Stephen King himself hates The brilliant Film for several reasons. One of the reasons is that Jack Nicholson plays Jack Torrance as a disadvantaged and dangerous man From the start. When the Overlook hotel tries it, it succumbs too easily to its curse. It makes Jack the villain, and that leaves the hotel especially unscathed. Doctor Sleep repair this.
Doctor Sleep allows Danny to do what Jack should have done in the brilliant
Since Jack Torrance is the villain of The brilliantAnd he tries to kill his family, Stanley Kubrick finally defeated him. This happens when Danny escapes the hotel and runs in the snowy labyrinth. Jack, brandishing his ax, continues his son, planning to kill him. However, Thanks to The Shining, Danny escapes and his father dies.
It did not happen in Stephen King’s novel because even if Jack Torrance was not a big man, he was not the main bad guy. The Overlook hotel was the villain. He corrupted and owned Jack, sending him to kill his family. In The brilliant The end of the novel, Jack destroys the hotel by exploding the boiler, thus eliminating evil.
Jack saved his family by sacrificing himself and destroying the Overlook hotel, making him a kind of hero of the novel at the end, although he is always possessed when he died. Stanley Kubrick ruined this moment by making Jack a merciless villain. Mike Flanagan corrected this Doctor SleepAlthough with a different sacrifice.
Flanagan was aimed at creating a sequel that would satisfy the two fans of Stanley Kubrick’s film and Stephen King’s book, and he has greatly achieved this objective. In King’s Doctor Sleep Novel and Flanagan’s film, Danny had to return to the Overlook. In the book, it was the ground where he was held in the past. In the film, it was the hotel.
Danny had to fight in evil spirits and even had the chance to meet Jack’s mind. Danny then raised the hat to the hotel, and when the spirits converged on her to put an end to her bad unleashing, Danny went down, broke the boiler and sacrificed himself to destroy the hotel, which her father should have done before.
Doctor Sleep has masterfully corrected the film and the brilliant books together
When Danny died Doctor Sleep And eliminated the evil spirits haunting the rooms of the Overlook hotel while releasing the mind of his father, he defeated the hotel. While Stanley Kubrick never cared about a haunted house story, King wrote one with The brilliantAnd Mike Flanagan honored him Doctor SleepReturn to the appropriate end.
That’s not all Flanagan has done to connect the movies. In The brilliant, Jack killed Dick Hallorann on his return to help Danny. This did not happen in the book, and Dick returned to the novel in a row. Flanagan corrected this using Dick’s mind to speak to Danny, allowing the two versions to remain loyal and consistent.
Even Stephen King complimented Mike Flanagan on the Doctor Sleep The end of the film, saying that this has solved most of the problems with the film by Stanley Kubrick. While King still has complaints on how Wendy was represented, at least Flanagan corrected the film and the tank together and returned to the right end that King was considering at the origin.
The brilliant remains a masterpiece (even with the disappointing end)
While Stephen King hates the cinematographic version of The brilliant,, And many king’s aficionados remain disappointed, the horror film of Stanley Kubrick, he is still a masterpiece. The brilliant is a masterpiece of terror, Jack Torrance losing his mental health and putting his wife and child in great danger, all in the isolated hotel of the Overlook.
The whole film is meticulously shot. There are times when Jack speaks to a ghostly spirit, and ghosts are always turned with a brilliant white light from another world behind them, whether at the bar or in the bathroom. Kubrick ensures that each blow in his film means something and adds to history and themes.
Although this is not the haunted history of the hotel that Stephen King has told, it works as a story of terror. The two have Jack Torrance who tries to kill his family, although for slightly different reasons, and the two have the sight of a young child trying to survive him in the possible end where Danny and Wendy live, and Jack dies.
It is disappointing to see the film focus only on Jack like the villain, but it worked perfectly for this version. While the haunted hotel was not the main bad guy, at least fans have Doctor Sleep To tell this story, and The brilliant Can remain his own story, one of the best in the history of horror.
