In Misery (1990), the reason Kathy Bates was so good is the real-life tension between the actors. Kathy Bates kept telling Rob Reiner, “Jimmy’s not relating to me — he’s not listening.” Reiner’s response: “That’s true. Use it. Fuel your rage.”

@RealEmirHan I revisited Misery, and Kathy Bates completely stunned me. Her performance shows how terrifying stalking can be — obsession that starts quietly, then erupts into something brutal and unforgettable.

@RealEmirHan I was always a little disappointed that they softpedaled the "hobbling" in the movie. in the book, it wasn't a sledgehammer, it was an axe.

@RealEmirHan The only change from book to film was the leg break scene. Other than that it was shot for shot spot on.

@RealEmirHan Here’s Johnny!

@RealEmirHan Interested fact; in the book, Annie used an axe, while in The Shining novel, Jack used a hammer.

@RealEmirHan They sanitized this scene for the movie version. What she does to him in the book is way worse.

@RealEmirHan Yoy dirdy burdy

@RealEmirHan @grok what is happening in this scene

@RealEmirHan Young Kathy Bates was a hood nigga dream

@RealEmirHan Misery was the best film adaptation of any Stephen King’s books, and remains my favorite story of his, with The Stand a close second. (Exceptions to the Shawshank redemption, obvs)

@RealEmirHan lol remember when the Wayans did a parody to this

@RealEmirHan The details in this are actually really impressive.

@RealEmirHan Game over

@RealEmirHan I can almost feel that scene

@RealEmirHan It's fascinating how real emotions can drive such incredible performances. Kathy Bates really brought that character to life in a way that's still haunting. It's a reminder of how the best art often comes from raw experiences!

@RealEmirHan This movie is so great. Two great actors at their best.

@RealEmirHan Besides the fact, James Caan is a creep.

@RealEmirHan One of the most unforgettable scenes

@RealEmirHan Where do I pay the money for the fan card

@RealEmirHan Rob was an actor’s director ⭐️

@RealEmirHan I could see that. I don't think he was a very good actor - his performance in the Godfather seems a little clunky also.

@RealEmirHan Heath ledger's joker

@RealEmirHan @Grok what song is in background?

@RealEmirHan What movie is this

@RealEmirHan Cinema demais 💜

@RealEmirHan I was like 10 when I seen This 🤦🏾‍♂️🤣

@RealEmirHan Impresionante escena

@RealEmirHan Al these movie facts portray how bad actors are at their job and have to make things real to appear authentic

@RealEmirHan @grok What happened here?
