Post a CommentThe Shining is one of my favorite movies (read my article on it here) and I have to say this was simply brilliant. A perfect example of how the theory of Russian montage can take manipulate an image to create any emotion the director desires. This is a latter day version of that experiment where--was it Eisenstein--put the exact same image of a man in three different contexts and the audience extolled the three different emotions that the actor had "produced."
This trailer confuses my emotions...
I think this is something every editor thinks about doing. Or at least I did. But not like this. Pure brilliance, the way they made Jack dance! Nice choice on the music, too.
Absolutely great! Would love to see more of these. :)
That's AWSOME!
