"The shining" : from a Stephen King novel to a Stanley Kubrick film
Résumé
While many people can still be upset over an adaptation for not being faithful – most of the time because they read the novel first – others have learnt to distance themselves and understand that a film and a novel need to be considered as totally different media and that changes need to be made. This research paper has sought to show that the concept of faithfulness cannot be applied to a film adaptation: a literary work and a motion picture cannot use the same techniques to create the same effect; there are several problems that directors must deal with such as time, focalization, or identification. If horror filmmakers have to face the same issues, they also need to use special cinematographic techniques to create suspense and surprise and to translate the novel’s atmosphere.
