I get why Stephen King hates Kubrick’s version, I really do. It has to be treated as a completely separate entity because Jack Torrance is a completely different character. I *love* this version of Jack and he has so much depth and while he still has a mountain of flaws you can see the internal battle he’s fighting through the entire book.
