Kubrick's Genius Trick With Jack Torrance's Character #TheShining #DirectorStyleAdded:
Did you know Jack Nicholson didn't go crazy in The Shining?
He was already there.
Kubrick actually directed him to play Jack as unstable from the very beginning. Not a descent into madness, but a man slowly revealing who he really is, which makes it even more disturbing because there's no turning point. He was always like that.
