Gerald's Game by Stephen King. Stars. Being a lifelong King fan has its ups and downs, for sure, but it always makes things interesting. Like the time that this book was confiscated by a "concerned teacher" when I brought it to school with me. I think I was somewhere around 1. King for 5- 6 years by that point. But she didn't care - this teacher didn't think Stephen King was appropriate reading material, that he wrote trash, and that I was better off reading, I dunno, Milton or something. I think I got lucky in that whole required reading regard.

Because I homeschooled at the tail end of my highschool adventure, I missed out on a lot of that required reading torture - so when I got around to reading the classics as an adult, I actually enjoyed them. Mostly.)Anyway, I eventually did get my book back from her, and finished it, but I don't recall much about the book from my first read. The confiscation and a few other key points were all that remained - the bed, the handcuffs, the dead hubby.. Nothing specific or detailed about the courtroom - just that there was one. Usually, with King, my memory is pretty damn good, so I figure that this one hadn't impressed me way back when.

Way- back- when me probably reacted similarly to my more recent reaction after finally getting around to reading Flowers in the Attic: "Meh.. I can just imagine the hype, the fact that it was King, the confiscation, all combining to create this idea in my 1. EPIC.. and then.. Not so much. But now- me, who has *coughcough* more years experience of life and stuff, can appreciate the nuance of this story better.

I still wouldn't go so far as to call it a favorite, or even top 1. On the surface, this is a woman struggling for survival in a shitty situation: handcuffed naked to a bed, in a cabin near a lake in the off- season, and nobody knows she's there. Her dead husband is rotting on the floor nearby, after suffering a heart attack. OK, probably not rotting JUST yet, but it sounds much more dramatic that way.) That's the surface story - and then there's the parallel, which is that in order to free herself physically, she's got to free herself mentally, from her self- induced mind- prison of suppression and shame, centered around another time when she was helpless (this time from innocence and ignorance rather than a pair of cuffs) and someone took advantage of her. Jessie Burlingame as a character is one that, I think, requires a bit of maturity to appreciate. My younger self probably didn't understand her.

Even now I found myself thinking of her as cold and closed- off, almost prudish at times - especially towards the beginning of the book, when she's trying to offer consolation sex to her husband to get out of the bondage game he's interested in - and she no longer wants to play. I'll get on top," and "You can lay back and put your hands behind your head and I'll do the other thing," sound to me probably how they would have sounded to Gerald - unenthusiastic and begrudging. About as exciting as a 2- for- 1 sale on root canals. But as we learn more about her, and her secrets which have been locked away for so long, it starts to make sense and form a clearer picture of the woman she grew to be. She experienced something disturbing and traumatic in her childhood.. And that was all self- inflicted. It's no wonder that she's sexually repressed.

Her methods of coping with stress and trauma are interesting. She's split herself up into pieces, and each one thinks that they know best.

Goodwife Burlingame is the "grin and bear it" type, the "don't rock the boat" type - who takes all the bad that life has to offer as her due for being a woman. Punkin is the pretty girl locked away so as to not be a temptation to men.. Then there are her 'outside' aspects - parts of herself that are based on, or imprints of, influential people in her life. All of these parts form a conflicted whole.

I could understand her - even though I found myself not actually liking her very much, and was often extremely frustrated by her lack of initiative. I get that there's a duality in this story - that she had to work through her traumatic past and find acceptance, and, in my opinion, give herself permission to try to free her physical body. I get that she had to go through this process.. I can appreciate it to a point. But, I did find myself willing her to get on with it already.

Every single thing was such a production with Jessie. Every thought and movement was debated and criticized and argued over in her head - and then detailed abundantly on the page.

I think that this is a product of King's style, though. He was trying to show her thought process, and her split- apart personalities' input, and progress the plot while at the same time ratcheting up the tension as much as possible. And it worked - there were moments when I was reading along at lightning speed to see what would happen next.. Jessie's headspace, which is a lot, that I just got so tired of the beat- around- the- bush method of thinking - her absolute refusal to think about That Day, and the coaxing, berating, unrelenting aspect arguments that force her to do so anyway. It's so frustrating when, as the reader, I'm just sitting here thinking - can we maybe set aside this ancient history issue for a moment and maybe give just a tiny bit of thought to your current predicament?

When she finally does that, all of her aspects constantly have to interrupt and it just got to be a bit much for me. I understood the symbolic breaking the chains, and appreciate it on one level - but I was impatient with it at the same time - especially since it seemed so frivolous to be stressing over the trauma of nearly 3. Do I think that she had to "free" the Punkin aspect so that she could help Jessie in return? No. What I think is that Jessie has to go through all of that mental trauma to learn how to cope with life. She has to learn to face her issues and deal with them rather than hiding from them. Which is good and noble and all that - but even during the process of this life- lesson, she's still shirking her own responsibility for saving her own life. She ignores the fact that she's chained up in favor of the more pressing memory- analysis..

But if she'd just put all of that energy into finding solutions for freeing herself right away - I think she could have been free a lot sooner. Watch Big Stan Online Ibtimes. Of course, if that was what she did, there wouldn't be much of a story to tell, would there? Writing- wise, I don't think that this is one of King's best. This has a lot of similarities to Dolores Claiborne, but I think that the latter is a far better book. The style and the narrative just fit better there.

In Gerald's Game, the narrative feels.. Kingish, almost. Too quippy and modern (for the time) in an almost masculine- feeling way, which doesn't fit with my impression of Jessie. But this isn't so much of an issue for 9. Jessie's writing her therapy/thank- you letter, and the narrative voice, which previously had been 3rd person, shifts into a 1st person mode, but keeps all the same stylistic markers. For example, she mentions being "on medication (the technical hospital term for being stoned out of your gourd)" which.. Jessie- ish thing to say. It's just little things like that, things that just feel a touch out of place, that take me out of the story and have me thinking about the hand that wrote it rather than the story it's supposed to be telling.

One last thing - The space cowboy's a creepy mofo, that's for sure.

What makes horror tapes so interesting is the fact that the sense of fear totally depends on the viewer.

The first horror film came in the form of silent shorts in the 1. Georges Mléiés, with some of his best work being “Le Manoir du Diable”, sometimes even credited as the first horror movie. During the years of (1. Universal pictures began creating successful horror tapes like Dracula, Frankenstein, The mummy and many more. The horror movie genre is an ever- evolving movie kind with each new generation the plot of horror tapes have shifted a little.

During the 1. 97. Hollywood began to evolve, murder and violence which were then the main themes began to change to a more physiological and supernatural aspect of horror, and then to scary killer animals leading to tapes like, Jaws and Orca. The horror genre initially began as a Gothic style, usually set in spooky castles, dark areas, and with the main characters sharing a resemblance to vampires and grotesque creatures, began to introduce evil spirits, clowns and scary dolls as time moved on. After the launch of satellites there were many films focusing on alien invasions, and after nuclear power came into being, movies focusing on the destruction, mutilation and zombification of humans became a popular trend. When it comes to the genre horror, different parts of the globe have introduced different variations to the genre, depending on the taste of people, the fear- inducing characters of the horror films have changed.

For example two countries like Japan and America; it is found that horror films in America tend to have different monsters when compared with the Japanese tapes. Most Japanese films seem to focus greatly on the ghostly aspect as people in Japan believe that the ghost of a murdered victim is not likely to leave this world. However the main monsters in American films tend to be Aliens, Zombies, evil spirits, possessed people, and are more likely to promote scenes which are mostly bloody and tend to shock people, with films like, the conjuring and Annabelle. These differences are mainly due to the cultural influences of the two countries.
