The Shining is word for word accurate in the movie....the most accurate film

P.S. In my view the original Harry Potter movie is the
most accurate and honest translation of book to movie I've
ever seen. If you've read the book and watched the movie
you'll know what I mean. Not only is the vast majority of
the material in the book kept intact in the movie, but the
tone and personality is maintained as well with
unbelievable accuracy.
