“Here’s Johnny” (Kubrick) is one of the most famous lines in a movie. When you first think of The Shining you think of that line. So isn’t it funny that the most famous line in the movie was actually never written in the book? That “Here’s Johnny” is something that the actor, Jack Nicholas, ad-libbed while on set? That is the thing about movie adaptions: so much is changed from book to movie. There is so much leeway that the director and actors have that sometimes it like the movie and the book are two completely different things. Stanely Kubrick as both the screen play writer and director was able to take as many liberates as he pleased in the 1980 movie adaption of Stephen Kings book. But what really were some of the biggest changes besides “Here’s Johnny”? The Shining as a book and the Shining as a movie are almost so different that you can barely tell that they are the same thing.
