The Shining- King v.Kubrick- a ruling overturned

So why has author Stephen King always detested the Stanley Kubrick masterpiece film interpretation of his hit novel, "The Shining" so badly? This supposition that King resents Kubrick as a rival reveals more of the person making it than it does of King himself; few bestselling authors offer a more modest and unassuming public face than King. Kubrick buffs also like to point tauntingly at King’s poorly regarded 1997 miniseries adaptation of “The Shining,” labeling it a failed attempt to better the master. But by all accounts King is motivated not by competition but rather by a protective instinct toward characters who clearly mean a lot to him. Kubrick’s detachment sticks in his craw. 

King wants to do right by his own story — his own in more ways than one, since King has stated that Jack Torrance, the deranged aspiring writer played by Jack Nicholson in the film, is the most autobiographical of all his creations. Bye.

and of course, REDRUM REDRUM, as an inversion, truly means that some murder convictions can get get overturned (in the case of Angola has happened twice now) after 40 years of solitary confinement. Herman Wallace, an innocent man who has spent 23 hours a day for 40 years locked up in a cage with no human contact for a crime DNA confirmed he did not commit, has finally been released and is spending the last days of his life now disoriented in a community hospital room struggling to whisper the inaudible word, "freedom." That word does not seem to exist anymore in his vocabulary (surprise, surprise) and he has days to live dying from terminal cancer. To those who have fought endlessly for years for his release, Herman injustice "shines" today as it hits the press.

"Prisoners go for years - in some cases for decades - never touching another human being with affection," he said. "The emptiness and idleness that pervade most solitary confinement units are profound and enveloping."   - Craig Haney, a University of California professor  who testified at the June 2012 hearing.
