Jessica Huang from Fresh off the Boat TV series, said this in response to Honey quoting the movie. I totally feel the same way.
Implying that Kubrick isn't a genius in his own right.
Stephen King wrote a lot of stories. Not saying that a lot of them aren't good. But it feels, to me, like he's been throwing a lot of shit at the wall to see what sticks with a lot of years even releasing multiple books in a year. The man is a machine, with some good stories sometimes.
Kubrick's movies on the other hand have been classics for the most part. And yes, that includes the Shining.
