Shelley’s performance is key to the trajectory of Jack’s psychosis. When their stay begins she’s well-mannered, optimistic, asks how the writing is going. and you can tell Jack is immediately frustrated that he has no ideas, and he’s secretly regretting the venture. And he doesn’t know how to convey this to his wife who just wants to check on him. Jack is constantly lying about his feelings the whole movie, and you can feel this tension whenever she cheerfully reappears at the typewriter, prompting Jack to lie again

[@Michael-jw6et]

Nothing you said in this post is correct. Shelley is not the key to Jack's Psychosis. Jack was psychotic to begin with. You can see it in the car when they are driving to the hotel. In the hotel, the ghosts that are haunting the place are the key to his psychosis getting worse, not Shelley. As far as Jack writing, he was not frustrated because he had no ideas. He was upset because as his psychosis worsened, he had OCD like obsessive thoughts, He was wring the same thing over and over again, and she interrupted that pattern. You can see that the ghosts are working on his psychosis because of the nightmare he had about killing them.

​@@Michael-jw6et Wow. So wrong and yet so arrogant. Shelley was tortured by Kubrick on set to become unsure of herself, so she would be annoying on screen, making the audience hate her. If the audience sided with her, Jack would just be another psycho in a horror movie. But by Kubrick making her unease, Kubrick makes her acting suffer and the audience to side with Jack. And that`s the whole idea. We need to have empathy with Jack to understand his psychosis. It`s a mind game. A plot to manipulate the audience. Brilliant.

In preparation for a cover story on Nicholson, a Time magazine reporter phoned Nicholson to check on the extraordinary information that had been unearthed: Jack’s “sister” June was in fact Jack’s mother, and a man claiming to be his father was alive and well in Ocean Grove, New Jersey. The news about Nicholson’s parentage turned out to be true: Jack, born on 22 April 1937, had been the illegitimate child of 17-year-old June Nicholson. Nicholson had spent his life up to age 37 assuming that his biological mother, June, was his sister, and that his maternal grandmother, Ethel May, was his mother.

Jack’s facial expressions were absolutely epic in this masterpiece

[@enderhunter1856]

It's so amazing to watch one of the greatest directors (if not THE greatest) work! You can tell that everything revolves around the film for him. He would crawl in the dirt in front of people to get the perfect shot, that's dedication. And he's right about that! Everything that happened on set is fleeting, but the film is forever. And that's why that moment when he said "don't sympathize with Shelley" is so important! Most would see this as a lack of empathy but in reality Kubrick knew that what was happening behind the scene was just as important as in front of the camera! He shaped the actors into what they needed to be for the film, and he didn't let anyone corrupt them. That's exactly how he wanted Shelley. Absolutely morally neutral because he didn't do it for money but to create art, and true art always takes a toll! Kubrick always reminds me of the old artists and philosophers from antiquity. They create art, they do whatever it takes to do it, and that art will only be truly appreciated and respected for thousands of years after the artist's death. Furthermore, the actors knew that with Kubrick they were making art and not just any blockbuster. If you have a bigger goal you can't let ANYTHING distract you, and certainly not by feelings. I would never in my life dare to think for a millisecond of comparing myself to Stanley Kubrick, but when I made my own short films I learned first hand how important it is to only have the goal in mind! Thanks to uncut footage, I can see how I direct the short films, and whenever I look at them I can imagine what an asshole my friends (the actors in my films) think I am while filming. I give clear instructions, sharp tone, and every little detail is tweaked until I think it's right and if it doesn't go the way I want, I start belittling the actors and even become insulting and harsh. But it's all about creating my vision. AFTER the film, the actors get all the recognition they deserve!

Jack was amazing but Shelly's performance is extremely underrated and under appreciated.

Something is only truly scary if you see someone react like it is. Otherwise it's just up to the viewer to feel however they feel, you might think Jack is pretty intense, but not be really scared yet. A director will SHOW the viewer what they should be feeling, and by normal human empathy the feeling will transfer. If you want to make your audience cry, show someone breaking down in tears. If you want something to be actually scary, show someone scared. Without Shelley Duvall it's just Jack Nicholson stalking around a house talking to himself. With Shelley it's a whole other thing.

Technology allows directors to reach unexpected levels of realism (look at GOT!). Have you ever seen how special effects are being made, today? Nowadays make-up artists are capable of doing wonderful things, and when it's possible to avoid using CGI, directors count on models, set buildings and make-up. But that being said, technology is irreplaceable for many things and effects, if you want them to be credible.

If you fuck up a shot here, for ex having a the sound guy walk in the shot, you can't fix it in post using CGI. Everything has to be planned ahead of time, all the shots choreographed, the whole studio perfectly built. The opening shots have to be filmed with a heli not a drone etc etc... Space Odyssey has no CGI, it's a fucking marvel. That's why the piece is timeless, because you can always remaster the 70 mm and will always look incredible because all the visual effects are pratical unlike cgi.

First time I saw Kubrick in action. Amazing. He was full of inner tension. He was like a mother bird protecting its nest and wouldn't tolerate anything that might disturb his baby, the movie.

That's true. But the real reason the audience doesn't care to much about her character is because the movie is told from Jack's perspective, he's insane and he hates her.

[@aaronlajiness72]

In a natural conversation, people only "nod" when they are being told a command, or recognizing authority, etc., and relaying an understanding by gesticulation. People just conversing freely would not "nod" at each other, and that action would make the extras seem unnatural. It would stand out, and take away from the fluid of the scene. Also, by telling the room of extras to mouth, not speak - it would kick in an instinct of non-vocalization that without speaking, they would unknowingly be trying to understand each other, and may nod at each other in a simple reflex. Kubrick knew that.

[@josephkelley8641]

Amen to this, FB - Stanley just such an incredible director. Once, when working at the WB (mailroom only like all wanna-be's)? I snuck into Steven Speilberg's set for A.I.

I snuck in, and was literally DUMB FOUNDED at the DETAIL of the A.I. sets they had built. You don't understand how great, how hard-working - how specific - how detail-oriented these great directors are. I remembered some of my lame film school-shoots - instantly became ASHAMED of myself. Vowed to work harder, harder, harder. Cuz the Speilberg's and Kubrick's - they literally work themselves to death. Drive themselves as hard (or harder) than their cast/crew. Made a lame joke to Haley Joel as I bopped-by - "Haley Joel am I still HERE?" Weak smile - that's about the fourteen-millionth bad-SIXTH SENSE joke HJO'd heard.

I'm not an actor, but it's always seemed to me that acting scared -- and not looking like a bad B actor in a bad B horror movie -- isn't easy. Duvall has to spiral into greater and greater terror during at least half the movie, and I bought every minute of her performance. That's all you can really ask of an actor -- to be convincing in a fairly one-dimensional role and resist the audience's tendency to make the snap judgment "that looks fake."

I love how Nicholson and Duvall are practicing their lines for a scene together, and even though they're both in the same room, they're each practicing with some rando filling in for the other. Kubrick's probably keeping them fresh so when they actually do the scene, they're alienated from each other and unsure. And then he probably filmed it again 88 times just to be sure.
