The extra half hour at the helm of Doctor S sleep director is a huge improvement

When director Mike Flannigan began adapting the Stephen King novel Doctor Sleep in the movie, he does an almost impossible job. Despite the fact that the book was never the Lord's most beloved or necessary work, Flannigan was trying to build a bridge between the original King's version Light and Stanley Kubrick's unique film, which King has been using for decades rejecting him.

So Flannigan decided to rebuild the first movie by reproducing all the important roles, going back to Kubrick's use of the plot, watching the Overview Hotel, and committing himself to a major cinema regeneration process. And it worked. The movie's cut-out of the film was neither highly appreciated nor well-reviewed, but it was a wonderful showcase of storytelling, entertainment movie, and the only interactive performance between two terrific classics.

But the time spent rehearsing and updating the calls for the original Kubrick movie keeps us going. Doctor Sleep from developing multiple themes or ideas. For home videos and streaming releases, Warner Bros. he also released the director's cut of the film. And its additional 30-minute games are improving on Flannigan's already impressive work. The new cut provides a more sensitive theme He shines series, both movies and books.

(Vol. Note: this post contains spoilers for Doctor Sleep and Light.)

The relationship between protagonist Danny Torrance and his father Jack is central to every version of Light and Doctor Sleep. But in many versions, Jack is slowing down to his end, as well as trying to kill his family. Even the few times in which he has fought to resist the influence of the Overview in the original book is hinted at by his inability to hang over his head. Flannigan's acting director changes the story by finding a place of sympathy for Jack Torrance. Flannigan never paints Jack as a victim, at least not entirely, but reveals him as a person completely.

At the beginning of the and Doctor Sleep the film, Danny, now passing by Dan, is battling alcoholism, as did his father. This connection between these characters is embedded in the director's cut concept, in which the version of Dick Hallorann, the cook's cook who taught young Danny about "light," explains Jack's experience. Dick says the kind of guy who tried to kill Danny at the hotel wasn't all about Jack. The whole look passed the darkness on Jack, just as it was eating and light on Danny. Says Dick: “And your dad had a little light. “It's as if you find darkness.”

It's a small line, and to another movie, it may sound like a waste. But in this case it is decided Doctor Sleep

, it serves as a thesis statement. It combines all the parts of a movie that are loosely linked into an intriguing, complex one. Not to mention Dan getting out of some of his father's ghosts and demons, it's a matter of Dan's shock that he will be scared. they were his father.

In both types of Light, Overview and its hypnotic power is not the beginning of Jack's darkness. We just add a line of irritation and pain. The final manifestation of Jack's aggression and anger, especially in the original King's novel, his addiction and drug abuse – King has largely written the novel as an answer to his battles against alcoholism. It is a deeply embedded demon that Jack cannot overcome. In both the book and the feature films, Jack is slow to forget his failures and the fact that he is so deep, he blames his family. He wants to love them, and he loves them – except for his darkest moments.

Even Jack's most violent suggestion was not a product of the Overview's influence. He broke Danny's arm that is the equivalent of a drunken rage for a few months before the family moved to Colorado to do the work of caring for him. In King's novel, it is a sign that Jack can be replaced by his addict, and worse, it can eliminate him. Kubrick's screen addresses the incident early on, as the first sign of the pending violence inside Jack. Watching doesn't give Jack access to violence for the first time, it just allows him to give in to his desires. The hotel serves as a natural alternative to the downstairs.

However Doctor Sleep the film takes a different approach. Dan Torrance – played by Ewan McGregor in one of his best performances – gives us a different side of the story as he accepts his Alcoholics Anonymous token for eight years of success. He starts by re-creating his line – not born out of annoyance like Jack, it was a way to feel closer to Jack. Alcohol left Danny feeling the wrath Jack felt when he drank, and that Jack felt better before dying in the Overview.

The story of Dan's broken arm is when Flannigan finds room to pity. In his original Doctor Sleep, the story never goes up at all, as if the memory is still the hardest that Dan can deal with. But at the director's cut, Dan says he saw the change the minute his father brought it. He explains that Jack didn't touch the drink after that moment, until the true Overview came along. Instead, he used his shame and remorse over the incident to make himself a better life, at least temporarily.

The original King's novel and the cut of the theater Doctor Sleep, at this moment in Jack's story he passes away. The inability of the fatal failure that comes with the sheer suddenness of Jack's attempt, as if he always failed. But at the director's AA meeting, Dan says he thinks he's standing where Jack wants most to be in the world. He concludes his delightful speech by saying, "This is for Jack Torrance."

To make the connection between Jack and Dan even more powerful, Flannigan includes a brief photo of the Gold Room of the Overview, where Jack ends up giving the Overview a complete, over-the-top glass of whiskey. In this new shooting scene, a glass of whiskey is placed in the bar, waiting. Afterwards facing, it was replaced by Dan's eight-year-old coin.

Through Dan's speech, and the direct connection of the two characters, Flannigan brings his father out of the shadows, and ultimately makes Jack more than an addict who describes him as King, or the rage that drove Kubrick's character. He battled his own problems, but he desperately wanted to grow beyond what kept him from those who loved him.

The culmination of this series of entries comes to the Overseas Watch, where Dan stands face-to-face with Jack again – not just a devoted father to himself, but one who can't escape being pulled over by an overview. To Doctor Sleep the director's cut, literally transformed into a combination of Overview, Lloyd the Bartender. But Dan has never mistaken anyone other than Jack. This version of Jackline's Overview gives Dan a drink, but Dan orders and delivers this version of his father, whom Dan connected with during his dark drinking sessions.

The cutting of the theater ends the scene after their clashes, but the director's cuts continue. When Dan refuses a drink, Jack spends it on Dan, then takes him to the Overview bathroom for cleaning, as did Delbert Grady to Jack in the movie Light. Jack says Dan should just go home and make the Overview with Abra, a young psychiatrist Dan has been trying to protect from hunters as much as any power drags the hotel. What would be the darkest moment of the movie, Jack tells Dan, "The easiest thing in the world is to accept things we can't change."

This is a conversion of Alcoholics Anonymous is a prayer of peace it suddenly makes the difference between Jack of the Overview and Jack that Dan knows through the clever manipulation of both viewers and Dan, the darkness and light that Hallorann suddenly tells him. This version of Jack is a collection of his worst inspirations and actions. What he says to Dan is the last acknowledgment he couldn't change. But that is not all Jack does. There was another side to it, a side that was fighting for her family, a side that Dan only knew about his sanity. And at that level of his father, Dan finds the strength to leave and save Abra, his future he knows he can change.

This sidekick, which compares Dan and Jack, is the subject of Flannigan's movie theater. But at the director's cut, he makes it real, baking it into a script for movies. Instead of simply connecting the Shining series to the narrative level, this systematic overlap between the two characters transforms the series into a story about how people relate to mistakes in their parents, and see those flaws themselves. Dan sees this version of his abusive and angry father the same way he sees himself. But in the end – and for the director's only editor – he gets a shiny version. And with it, he receives the light Hallorann tells everyone, even the poor, will be killed by Jack Torrance.
