- Kathy Bates portrayal of the psychotic number one fan has gone down in film history. There's no denying that Misery is an amazing movie, but how does it compare to the original Stephen King novel? We go deep as I discuss the symbolism of Annie Wilkes, and the power writing can have over your demons. As well as the differences from book to movie-and there's a lot!

I have become an audiobook fiend over the past few years. I am a residential painter and listen while I work. Misery read by Lindsay Crouse is my favorite by far. Something about her tone that settles me into the story, "So Vivid." Recently have been listening to it over and over again and never get bored by it.
I haven't listened to this one but next time I read it again, I will have to do the audiobook!
I just finished the audiobook, and you’re right! Lindsay did such a great job, I could picture Annie’s anger and mannerisms so well!
@@fayabdullahi4821 Right! I just started it again today... Funny you mention it.
@@rb1599 any other great audiobooks you know of ?
@@fayabdullahi4821 I like Native Son, Life of Pi, The Shining. Some of my favorites anyway
Such a nice review this deserves way more views , awesome job
Thank you so much!
Hearing that Warren Beatty a consideration for Paul Sheldon has me laughing out loud thinking of Annie berating him with 'Mr Man!' and then breaking into song of 'You're So Vain.'
Just discovered that stephen king books are connected. When the overlook was mentioned before the axe part, i was like.... bro?! Like what?!
Thank you dear.
How can there be zero comments to this video? This is a wonderful discussion about the book and the movie Misery. Thank you so much for making this video!
Thank you! I really appreciate this
I like horror unless it's something that has actually occurred or can easily happen. For instance, supernatural suspense is fine but after watching the first two hostel movies I tried the third one. The idea that an innocent couple can go to a foreign country, the man can get captured and his face cut off was too much for me because there are people out there that sick. Same reason I quit watching documentaries about the dark web. By the way I'm in recovery for a few years so far and now I may read misery. Watching the movie, this never occurred to me. I appreciate this video :)
Yeah I don't blame you for avoiding movies like that. I can't watch ones that are overly gruesome because I find it too disturbing.
The addiction aspect in misery is one of the reasons I love it so much! Even without that in mind though it's still amazing
To me horror is an exploration of humanity. People dont like to be scared but nobody wants to be sad.
We may not imediatly
I get where your coming from you mentioned recovery so ill try to be sensative but writing is a lense on reality and the human experience we like to understand things. We like to explore vanrable emotions in a safe zone because they provide lessons on life and understanding to the greater world.
The shinning may have a care taker getting drunky and having an evil hotel saying heres a roaque mallet go have fun but jacks symptoms of being an alcoholic are incite into real behavior that exists. The shinning was actually a personal story probably a reason king hates how kubricks movie was about abuse and denial.
But i think realistic horror is the most terrifying because of how raw it is but lessons should be on how we can avoid becoming these people and also how we can learn to cope as humans.
Theres a facination in understanding those emotions
I have not finished misery yet in voice book I realized Annie Wilks has more crazy in book than movie and more greepy also Annie Wilks has more unstable what in book what movie
yeah definitely 😨
I got to see an amazing stage play adaptation last October that sparked my interest in misery, but I put off reading it until late December into early January- when I had caught covid for the first time and badly bruised my tailbone. I was almost completely bed bound and super isolated, so I thought that would be the perfect time to read a book about a bed bound and isolated character. I’ll never forget the way my heart dropped at so many points, the way I would face time my parents to talk about the book even though they were only a few rooms away but I didn’t want to get them sick. It was definitely the best part of my recovery. My dad is a huge King fan and even now I’ll randomly walk up to him and we’ll discuss Misery and a few other king books I’ve read and how they compare to the movies (last week was an hour long discussion on our favorite Carrie adaptations- I read the book last June. He likes the original and the 2013 versions, I like the original and the 2002).
Overall, reading misery was an amazing experience, though reading it while bed-bound added a huge extra layer of dread. Plus, I grew up not two hours from Boulder, and the book mentioned taking place near there :)
already almost at the beginning Annie threw a plate of soup against the wall in the book and forced Paul Shellton to drink detergent water in addition when Misery died Annie knocked the bookshelf upside down
I felt like she will cut paul troat open
When Annie picked at her gums, it made me cringe the most
Also I was confused are Annie Wilks love misery more what Paul Shellton even Paul Shellton has greater of misery of Annie of beginning has addiction of misery even in book of movie Annie Wilks has more angry and serious in book what she has in movie
If I was Paul I would’ve tried to get some top. That may have made it easier to escape.
Just discovered you!! Can’t wait to explore. It kills me great channels like this get less views than some bimbo shaking her behind !!
Thanks! I hope you like my other videos as well 😀
Bruh the audio at the end :/
I actually liked the movie better but was shocked that Annie cut Paul apart!! I too felt a little bored at times but then it caught me but ultimately I loved the movie a little better ;)
Yeah that part is so shocking in the book! And even though I prefer the book, the movie is amazing!
I like RL Stine and I like Stephen King's movies more than his books.
I like RL Stine's books too.
I haven't read RL Stine in ages! It would be fun to revisit him in October
Why does he randomly have his characters say the n word. It comes out of nowhere and feels awkward
Yeah I agree
I've noticed a lot of the bad characters are racist. I think he's trying to make us uncomfortable because racism is disgusting, but I agree it's very awkward and makes me uncomfortable.
That’s what people like that at those times said behind closed doors in private conversations with people they trust.
It’s supposed to be ugly and jarring because it is a portrayal of what actually gets thought and said when the wider community isn’t looking.
I will say the author did seem like a pussy to me. simply due to how long it takes him to realize he's in danger and the fact that he doesn't even go for a knife until she shows the gun. Good story but in the movie form its hard to just accept that Paul puts up so little of a fight until the very end
I can see that, but I mean he was in a lot of pain plus the drugs she was giving him! So he wasn't in his normal state of mind.
@@WhytheBookWins yea it just bothered me that he didn’t plan sooner. I woulda had that knife the first time leaving the room
