[@horrorfanandy4647]

@@gracepark-pf1ks This is for me one of the best adaptations to screen ever. While it does leave a lot out, nothing that is removed is necessary to the success of the film, although perhaps it would have been nice to have some of the extra details nonetheless. With that said, I thoroughly recommend the book as it’s an absolute treasure. My favourite of King’s works on the page and on the screen.

[@alanmctavish4802]

One of the best films i have seen. I saw it when it first came out and was shocked at some of the scences in the way she treated him. And every one at that time always knew what the best scene was. It was when she put the log between his anckles then used a sledge hammer to break both his anckles. O I FELT THAT. Even though it was a film it was still brilliantly done. And you just couldnt really see a way out for him, becouse you knew she always knew more than she would say, like searching his room when he was asleep to see what she could find. But cathy bates was brilliant in this and it won her an oscar and so was jimmy caan brilliant as well. This brilliant genius made film was a one off. The best film i had probably seen at that time! I was age 17 when it came out!

[@hawkeyepierce7035]

@Baraldi Gnegne: Exactly. Next to the book version, the movie version of Annie looks like a sweet and kindhearted aunt. Paul knows she's insane even before she gets upset over the swearing in his new manuscript. In fact, in his mind, she conjures up images of a scary African idol. And the hobbling scene in the book is much more graphic. Here's a hint. It involves an axe and a blowtorch.

[@stefmgf8739]

Hawkeye Pierce right Pierce! Africa and pills that made the sea cover the woods(my bad for my english btw) And then,he finds out she kills Pomeroy,her father,her roommate and many others. Movie is also well done but reading the book scares me way more

[@jonathanrobertson3406]

The best horror stories are primarily psychological in nature. With the exception of one of two infamous scenes, the first involving his legs being broken, the primary brilliance of this movie is that it doesn't require more than two scenes of explicit, physical violence for it to work (although there is a third involving an investigator).. The second act of violence, committed by the victim in the finale is why this film really works. Over and over again the film presents escapes,.. a way out for the protagonist to escape insanity and hell. And they all fail, over and over again. But in the end, when that typewriter comes down on his tormentor's head, fireworks explode and if not physically, but emotionally the viewer has a "Fist in the air, F-yea" moment." The ultimate payoff. Also, there is great irony and symbolism in the use of the typewriter as a weapon in that particular case. Brilliant cinema.

[@dennispatrick4999]

1st Choice even during our Pre-production was Warren Beatty. But he was also in Post Production for Dick Tracy. Rob Reiner finally ask Warren if he was really going to play Paul Sheldon; but he couldn't say yes. So, Rob had to offer it to multiple actors. He even flew to London to meet with Kevin Kline...But he turned down the role. Andy Sheinman, Rob's Producet and Partner in Castle Rock suggested Jimmy. He was actually a pain at times; but nailed the role.

Corrasable paper was coated with a clear glaze. When typing on ink typewriters if a mistake was made you could erase the mistake and retype over it. But smudging would happen if the typed pages were moved around or touched to much.
