Dolores Claiborne
.
Dolores Clairborne is based on a book by Stephen King. King is a master of the horror genre, but Dolores Claiborne is not a supernatural horror story, it is a story about the horrors we inflict on others and that they inflict on us. Dolores Claiborne is an stoic, hard woman who has endured much in life, and Kathy Bates portrays her brilliantly. It’s a story of what many women have to endure in life and what they do to get by.
That’s one of his books I’ve never read, and I’ve never seen that movie, either. After seeing Misery, I know that Kathy Bates and Stephen King stories go well together, though!
I love Kathy Bates…and Stephen King.
