RED RUM, RED RUM

Ayer ví esta gran película, el resplandor, the shining, y me acordé de este, mi blog, en el que no añado nada en meses.

Realmente, pocas películas me han puesto tan nervioso como esta, y no solo por la cara de loco del brillante Jack Nicholson, sino por el niño. Odio los niños en las pelis de terror... y aún más los niños que hablan con su dedo con una voz rara!

Aún y así, este fragmento no es sobre el niño (ya tiene suficiente en las escenas que recorre el hotel con el cochecito) sino que es sobre Jack, en un trozo dónde da rienda suelta a su locura:

WENDY
Stay away from me!

JACK
Why?

WENDY
I just want to go back to my room.

JACK
Why?

WENDY sobs.

WENDY
Well... I'm very confused, and I
just need a chance to think things
over.

CUT TO:

M.S. High Angle JACK over WENDY. He moves forward up stairs.
She backs away. CAMERA TRACKS BACK and UP before them.

JACK
You've had your whole fucking life
to think things over - what's good
a few minutes more going to do you
now?


WENDY
Jack... stay away from me... please.

JACK reaches up to her.

WENDY
Don't hurt me! Don't hurt me!

JACK
I'm not going to hurt you.

WENDY swings bat in front of her as she backs up stairs.

WENDY
Stay away from me,

JACK
Wendy!

WENDY
Stay away...!

JACK
Darling, light of my life, I'm not
going to hurt you. You didn't let
me finish my sentence. I said 'I'm
not going to hurt you... I'm just
going to bash your brains in!' I'm
going to bash them right the fuck in.
