No denying that it was great. I guess I just had grittier anticipations/expectations (a la Platoon).
My problem with most Kubrick films is that I feel like sometimes they just putter on. Like, I hate 2001, I thought the scene with all the lights and whatnot was pandering to stoned hippies rather than anything mind-blowing or otherwise enlightening.
The Shining, however, I found splendid. I think it's because the pace worked so well with the whole 'guy going f**king cabin fever crazeeee."
Once I finish my work load for this week, I'mma watch me some Apocalypse Now and Deer Hunter. Maybe Platoon because Jarka hasn't seen that either.
