While it should be noted that Shining director Stanley Kubrick is kinda crazy and hard to work with, to the point he drove the actor for Wendy insane, Steven King had slandered him as sexist by calling Kubrick depiction of Wendy "misogynistic".
This, along with the other bashing of the 80's film by King is likely why Stanley Kubrick forced him to sign an NDA to make him shutup in exchange for the movie rights needed for the late 90's miniseries. Steven King would later gloat about the NDA expiring with Stanley Kubrick's death.
Steven King would later attract controversy for defending the Regressive Left and bashing Trump.
I never read the book, but I always thought the movie character was a refreshingly realistic woman. She was exactly how you'd expect someone to act in that situation.
No, she should have used fantasy girl-karate to quickly disarm a Jack that happened to be stumbling into her instead of swinging at her and knock him on his ass, then reluctantly spare him as he breaks down and grovels at her feet to not be axed to death.
Like how Black Widow is able to have armed men miss every shot within 10 feet of her as they stumble into her Ray Mysterio moves and go down with zero resistance.
Agreed. Although the book has a more positive ending
I like the book more than the movie, but I enjoy watching the movie for Jack Nicholson's acting.
