The Shining - Working Scene

[@hbar895348]

I felt so genuinly bad for her in this scene. Poor lady - what i wouldnt do for someone like her in my life. And TBH it is probably no better than how Shelly was treated by Kubrick during the making of this movie. RIP Shelly

[@stephaniebaker1542]

The amount of times that this scene has popped up in my head when someone at work bursts into my office, is probably in the millions.

[@prisonersforprofit]

the scene is all too real for anyone who's witnessed spousal abuse. the husband is stressed and frustrated he isn't getting anywhere, time is wasting, and he's got writer's block... his wife becomes the target/source of his frustration, he gets even more angry with her (perceived) docile and weak personality. she becomes his mental punching bag which will eventually escalate into physical violence.

[@SoleNero21]

Not just spousal abuse. But any kind of man who simply cannot hold himself accountable for his own actions. They'll lash out to whoever is beside them. I call it the low testosterone disease

[@RaferJeffersonIII]

I’ve had several long term girlfriends, been married twice and none of my partners nor any couple I know had this dynamic. They were 100% the wife getting emotional, complaining. Shelly is an impossible dream. Literally no women are like she is to her husbands. She would be coming down to complain and nag that some of her friends husbands had bigger hotels to caretake.

[@RaferJeffersonIII]

In fact she wouldn’t have even come to him. She would have hollered “Jaaaaaack” every time she had a job to do, and if he had raised one word of complaint it would then be a tirade about how he left a coffee cup out three weeks ago and she had to pick up one of his socks while he spent 6 hours clearing the snow off the drive

[@blackeroni]

@@RaferJeffersonIII jack would of either gone off the rails sooner or perhaps he would've found the contention therapeutically soothing and the plot wouldve never happened.

[@sarahbreisch4750]

@@RaferJeffersonIII I'm sorry you have this perception, based on real experience I'm sure. The Domestic violence cycle portrayed here is all too real, and it adds to the horror. Some women really do love selflessly. No one is perfect but sometimes, a spouse become the punching bag, the default target of rage and blamed for everything wrong in the world.

I always laughed at Jack and shook my head at his gestures until I got neighbors with two kids that were a little too close for comfort in a poorly sound proofed apartment.
