A deepfake video that replaces Jack Nicholson in 'The Shining' with Jim Carrey is like a 'complete remake'
One of the highlights of Stanley Kubrick's movie The Shining is the phantom performance by actor Jack Nicholson. If other actors were playing, it would be a work with a quite different atmosphere, but a video that replaced this part of Jack Nicholson with actor Jim Carrey using deepfake technology appeared. Jim Carrey is an actor with a quite different atmosphere from Jack Nicholson, but because it is an expressive actor, there is little discomfort when replacing it, it is like 'a completely remade work of'The Shining'starring Jim Carrey' It is an image.
Published as 'Episode 1 --Concentration' is a scene in which Jack gets angry when his wife Wendy interferes with the writing of the novel by the main character Jack Torrance.
There is a movie clip on YouTube that is the same as the one that appears in this deepfake video, and you can compare and see it.

The image below is the original version (Jack Nicholson) on the top and the deepfake version (Jim Carrey) on the bottom. Jack stops when Wendy calls out. You can hardly tell the difference in the drawing picture.
Where you smile before you get sharp, you can see Jack Nicholson's raised eyebrows, which is a little different from Jim Carrey.
Jack is extremely high and throws away the manuscript.
Then gaze at Wendy from below.
Next is 'Episode 2-The Bat'. It is a scene where Jack approaches Wendy who holds a bat and defends himself.

Jack sneaks into Wendy. Both Jack Nicholson and Jim Carrey have an eerie smile on their faces.
Jack in this scene has a wide range of emotions, and Jack Nicholson who plays changes his facial expression, but Jim Carrey made with deepfake also changes his facial expression.
Where anger is at its peak, the impression is that the emotional power of Jack Nicholson is superior.
However, sometimes the feeling of strangeness becomes almost zero.
In the use of deepfake, a video that made Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg talk about 'control of data' appeared in June 2019 and became a hot topic.
In the case of 'The Shining' this time, it is understood that it is 'awesome' because there are people who know what Jack Nicholson played, but if it was a minor work, a replacement occurred. It's quite possible that you won't notice it.
In addition, 'The Shining' where you can see Jack Nicholson's phantom performance that has not been replaced by Jim Carrey is subject to Amazon Prime Video, so Prime members can watch it at no additional charge.
