I Saw Kubrick's Original Release of The Shining -- and today found my mini-review (The "King of Hearts" romanticism I associated with being crazy... dispelled)

In Kubrick's new film, The Shining, I have finally learned the meaning of that state of mind called insane. Jack Nicholson portrans a man who is insane. He is a mere burlesque of a man. The gears of his mind have grinded irreparably. He is mentally paralysed. Insanity is not reaching out further than others have dared. It is not an abnormallity of the brain. It is when the brain (normal or abnormal) starts skipping. It stays in the same groove and wears itself down.
