◎Introduction

Anne is the number one reader of best-selling author Paul, and is crazy about his novels. One day, Paul is involved in a traffic accident and is saved by Anne, who takes good care of him. But everything began to become unusual, Paul found himself as if he was under house arrest by Anne, and his injuries did not heal for a long time.......

The original because Paul wanted to focus on writing his autobiography and the termination of the novel, Anne is difficult to accept, the nerves of the gradual derangement of Anne forced Paul to destroy the autobiography of the codex, to continue to create the novel she relies on to survive, and the novel's spiritual food. The end of the novel also represents the end of Paul's life. ......

One comment:

Paul Sheldon used to write for a living. Now, he's writing to stay alive.

The movie isn't challenging, inspiring, or enlightening, but it's still a success.

Rob Ryan's mechanical copying of Stephen King's novel forces us to drink a poisoned chalice.

"Ten Days of Jeopardy" is a true psychological horror movie.

"Ten Days of Jeopardy" is not only the most successful adaptation of a Stephen King novel, it's also the best produced.

--Film Critics

Behind the Scenes:

Stephen King has a talent for mining horror from everyday life. He takes these seemingly normal trace elements from his own personal life and then does his best to amplify and propel them to horrifyingly unusual levels. The Ten Days of Danger is the quintessential example of Stephen King's amplified life. Stephen King claims that the novel was inspired by the complaints of his fans - they said that King had stopped writing those early horror titles; so he wrote the novel as an answer to his fans. But in reality, the character of Annie Weeks is scarier than a haunted house or a dog with rabies. It's a full-on psychological horror film, with the two characters clashing primarily in an airtight house, which provides even more of a sense of psychological claustrophobia, and the tone of the movie becomes increasingly morose as Annie becomes progressively more psychotic. The film isn't filled with gore, the real horror element is hidden in the minds of individuals and the series of associations that are triggered, and that's the essence of horror movies.

Because Stephen King's previous novel-to-film adaptations weren't all that successful, the producers found William Goldman to write the script this time around. While Goldman kept the plot of the novel, he missed the most important part: getting inside the mind of the protagonist, Paul Sheldon, and letting the audience feel his pain, his trials and tribulations, and his fears. As a result, the movie based on the screenplay only captures the skinny, and the passive nature of James Caan's character doesn't change that fact. And to add to the suspense, Goldman makes a few tweaks to the storyline, which would naturally be unobjectionable if they maintained the uniqueness and originality of Stephen King's novel, but they have the opposite effect: they merely make the story routine and conventional. Happily, however, Ten Days of Jeopardy is still not a bad-looking movie. While the original novel is intensely personal to Stephen King, director Rob Ryan humbly states that he simply "brought the story to the screen. Previously, Rob Ryan had successfully brought Stephen King's other young adult novel, Stand By Me, to the screen. Ten Days of Jeopardy is a wonderfully naturalistic story that grips the heart. Director Rob Lehane handles the "two people in a room" film with high dramatic tension, and does a superb job of visually emphasizing the sense of isolation, as Anne's room is warm and homey one second, then dark and cold in the next.

The method Stephen King invented for dealing with writers for Anne, a woman, is so appalling that it's no less of a trap for the actors: it demands exaggerated performances. James Caan and Kathy Bates make a fascinating duo, performing a brilliant rivalry in the battle of wits. James Caan's performance is also noteworthy, although he spends most of the movie lying in bed under a blanket. He is passive and controlled as the unfortunate captive of a mad woman in the movie. Kathy Bates' character, on the other hand, is the centerpiece of the film, with an erratic personality that can quickly move from sweet caring to savage reprimand. Her performance is the film's most powerful and engaging. She comes across as alert and particular, successfully playing a woman with schizophrenia. Even with an ordinary look, she effectively conveys anxiety, terror, madness, sensitivity and disorientation. Her performance earned her a well-deserved Best Actress Oscar in 1990, proving that success in an industry dominated by beauty doesn't depend on looks.

Highlights:

- In the original Stephen King novel, Anne cuts off Paul's foot to prevent him from escaping. Screenwriter William Goldman claims he decided to adapt the book into a movie because of the gruesome scene and wanted to see how audiences would react when they saw it. But Rob Lehane and Andrew Scheinman changed the script by altering the way they tortured Paul: by hitting him with a sledgehammer to fracture his ankle. Goldman balked at the change until he saw the movie and said nothing more.

- The movie cost twenty-one million dollars.

-The "N" key on Stephen King's typewriter was faulty, just like the one used by James Caan in the movie.

- The top choice for the role played by Kathy Bates had been Anjelica Huston, but she turned it down.

-According to William Goldman's book Four Screenplays, Paul Sheldon, the movie's main character, was considered for the following: William Hurt, Kevin Kline, Michael Douglas Michael Douglas), Harrison Ford, Dustin Hoffman, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Richard Dreyfuss, Gene Gene Hackman, Robert Redford and Warren Beatty, but all of them turned it down.

- It is said that there was a scene in the original movie in which Kathy Bates kills a young policeman by running a lawnmower over a human body repeatedly, but that the scene was cut, to Kathy Bates' great disappointment, and director Rob Rehn explained it this way: that he had cut it because he was worried that the audience would laugh.

- Jack Nicholson was the leading candidate for the role of Paul Sheldon, but after his experience with Kubrick's "The Shining," he didn't want to experience horror again in a movie based on another Stephen King horror novel.

- There's a line in the movie that says, "There's a guy who's gone crazy in a hotel nearby." This refers to another movie, "The Shining," based on a Stephen King novel.

- The video played in the store in the movie, "When Harry Happened to Sally," was also shot by that film's director, Rob Rehn.

-The publisher of the novel by Paul Sheldon, the main character in the movie, was Viking, the same publisher that actually published Stephen King's novel.

Great dialogue:

Annie Wilkes: Anything else I can get for you while I am in town? How about a tiny tape recorder, or how about a homemade pair of writing slippers?

Annie Wilkes: Anything else I can get for you while I am in town? A little tape recorder, or how about a homemade pair of writing slippers?

Paul Sheldon: Annie, what's the matter?

Annie Wilkes: What's the matter? WHAT'S THE MATTER? I will tell you "what's the matter!" I go out of my way for you! I do everything to try and make you I feed you, I clean you, I dress you, and what thanks do I get? "Oh, you bought the wrong paper, Anne, I can't write on this paper, Anne!" your stupid paper but you just better start showing me a little appreciation around here, Mr. MAN!

Anne Weeks: What does it matter? What does it matter? I'll tell you what's relevant! I'm doing this trip for you! I do everything I can to make you happy. I feed you, I wash you, I dress you, and what have I got to show for it? "Oh, Annie, you bought the wrong kind of paper. I can't write on this kind of paper, Annie!" Well, I'll let you get your stupid paper, but you'd better show me some gratitude, Mr. Manly Man!

Annie Wilkes.

Paul Sheldon: Annie? Annie, what is it?

Paul Sheldon: Annie? What is it, Annie?

Annie Wilkes: The rain. Sometimes it gives me the blues. When you first came here, I only loved the writer part of Paul Sheldon. Now I know I love the rest of him, too. I know you don't love me, don't say you do. You're beautiful, brilliant, a famous man of the world and I'm not a movie star type. You'll never know the fear of losing someone like you if you're someone like me.

Anne Weeks: Rain. Sometimes rain depresses me. When you first got here, I loved Paul Sheldon only as the writer part. Now I know I love the rest of him too. I know you won't love me. Don't say you will. You are so wonderful and talented and a famous character and I ...... am not the movie star type. People like you will never know the fear of losing someone if you are even a little bit like me.

Paul Sheldon: Why would you lose me?

Annie Wilkes: Book's almost finished, your legs are getting better. Soon you'll be wanting to leave. Soon you'll be wanting to leave.

Annie Wilkes. Wilkes: Sometimes I think about using it. I'd better go now. The gun might have bullets in it.

Guilty shot:

Continuity: When Annie throws the soup at Paul, the color of the soup changes from red to orange.

FACTUAL ERROR: The car Paul Sheldon is driving is twice stated to be a 1965 Ford Mustang, when in fact he is driving a car that came out in 1966.

Crew or props wear: when Paul is in the kitchen for the first time, a crew member's figure can be seen projected onto the stove in the corner during a close-up shot of the knives.

Sound effects out of sync: Near the end of the movie, Paul Sheldon, believing he has killed Anne, crawls over pieces of champagne bottles broken on the floor toward the doorway, but the sound of broken glass dragging and scraping on the floor is not heard at this point.

Character error (perhaps a premeditated error on the part of the producers): when Paul looks at Annie's scrapbook, her name is Anne M. Wilkes in the headline of the news in all caps, but the caption for the photo under the headline is Anne C. Wilkes.

Enlightenment error: in the section in which Paul chides Annie about buying the wrong kind of printer's paper and Annie screams furiously at him because of it In the section where Paul scolds Anne for buying the wrong printer paper and Anne screams at him for it, she roars out of the room and slams the door as hard as she can, thus making the "props shake": a real wall never rocks back and forth from the impact of a door.

Continuity: near the end of the movie, Paul is fighting with Anne, and he puts his finger in her eye and makes her bleed; but in the next shot, when he knocks her to the floor, there is no blood under her eye.
