Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining features several career-defining scenes starring the most nominated male actor in the history of the Academy Awards.
As part of the deal to reacquire the rights to The Shining, Stephen King agreed to stop disparaging the film (although once the director passed in 1999, King resumed complaining occasionally).
And despite everything he’s said about it, King does cameo in The Shining, as the conductor at the ballroom party.
The ABC News TV correspondent contended that “every frame, word and sound” of The Shining was about the genocide of the American Indian.
