Via the inimitable Making Light, here’s a trailer for The Shining cut to show it’s a feel-good family flick.L
In one of those weird tics of memory, I can’t remember whether I actually saw this in a film class or simply read about it, but I saw* one clip of film of a woman walking alone at night set to three different soundtracks: horror, so you knew she was being followed; romantic, so you’d think she was on her way to a romantic encounter; and a third I can’t remember at the moment. One clip of film, three completely different moods.
(I also feel as though I’ve seen Kuleshov’s famous montage experiment, but I know I’ve just heard about it.)
*You just read the caveat, right?
