'The Shining' - How did Kubrick Get That Movie from That Book?

Stanley Kubrick's movie is very different from the book--why is that? This is one of those rare instances where both the movie and the book are enjoyable in their own ways and for different reasons. King's book is, like most of his writing, very 'human'--it's driven by its characters and our sympathy, as readers, to their plight. Kubrick's movie is more nihilistic. It is surreal and irrational and very creepy. I've wonder, every time I watch the movie, how Kubrick was able to create such a vision from King's text. I find this image of Kubrick's notes in King's book very interesting... What do you think?

It would be so cool to be able to buy a reprinting of Stephen King's book with all of Stanley Kubrick's notes reprinted in the margins, and highlights and such to follow his train of thoughts, as you suggested we wonder.

I'd buy a copy for sure! I'd love to see what moments really stood out for Kubrick and get a better idea of what inspired him to make the kind of movie he did, you know, besides being Kubrick...
