Misery is still a classic
|
Everytime I watch *Misery* I find that I still cannot stand to watch the scene where Anne Wilkes (Bates) hammers Paul Sheldon's (Caan) feet to keep him from escaping. Yes, I know that's the best part of the entire movie but I still cannot look at it. I have to turn away.
Paul Sheldon is a writer who has written many books with a character named Misery. However, Paul has grown weary with Misery and has decided to kill her off in the last book of the series. After completing the manuscript, Paul veers off a shoulder in a blizzard while on his way to see his editor. As luck would have it, his number one fan, Anne, former and disgraced nurse, discovers the crash and rescues him. However, not only does she rescues him but she also holds him hostage.
Anne cannot stand the idea that there is an end to Misery. So, Paul is ordered to redo the entire book to Anne's liking. For the entire winter, Paul rewrites his book but also plans his escape.
*Misery* remains to be a classic as it is still a good nail-biter of a film. It can be a little long for some people but it is worth it all. I still think this is the best of Kathy Bates.
