Synopsis:

This is a fast cut of "The Shining", with the whole story in it. The American version was a bit too long with some boring scenes so I recut this in a faster edit. Also some (editing) mistakes of the original are fixed.

Intentions:

A faster cut. This edit is recut in a whole other way, also to make the story a little different then the original.

Change List:

There is no guided tour in the hotel. There are some editing mistakes in the original shining, i try to cut it down. The Cook in this edit is only curious of the family in the hotel, because they not answering his phonecalls so that is the only reason he goes back to the hotel. The opening scene is cut, because i use other credits In the original you see a shadow of a chopper by the credits, that was also one reason to cut this. The edit begins with Nicholson walks to the reception of the hotel. Also in the scene when Duvall walks to Nicholson (original) when he is writing and becomes very irritating, you see in that shot a chair behind him. In the next shot the chair is suddenly gone, well that shot is fixed, because i cut in the dialogue. The first conversation with Joe Turkel is cut, because after Nicholson walks to room 237 because of the woman in the bathtub at that point he loses his mind and begins to see the ghosts in the hotel. Danny is in this edit a medium, he knows about the evil in room 237, but i decided to cut "Tony the boy who lives in his mouth" Danny feels things and see them and that was enough for me. The Closing day and monday tuesday and so forth are not in this edit Only on the last day i keep that "4pm" as a kind of message that the hell breaks loose. When Duvall goes to Nicholson with the story of the woman in Room 237 he never comes back from it. In this edit she waits for him but he never shows up. Until she looks for him with the baseball bat Some "not used" music of Wendy Carlos.
