Thanks for the existence of a civilized social system

After reading it once, opening it again, forgetting let me continue reading, and once again understand the meaning of reviewing the old and learning the new. While watching, the memory recovered, and the first half of the story still could not be remembered. It was not until the scene of the black chef watching the news that he remembered the basic plot. Today's weather is very cold, and it is still cold in April; drinking yogurt, it is very cold, accompanied by cold air, cold plot, and cold mood. Wendy wields a baseball bat for self-preservation, and Jack babbles to achieve his goals. This episode seems to be a repeat of what I experienced two hours ago. I'm stupid, maybe it's not as direct and brutal as the movie shows, but those confessions and nice words are unbelievable and scary. Does Jack love his wife and children? Love, however, madness is also real.

For women and children, the physically weak, the system is protection. If it is in an isolated place, there is no supervision, and there is a huge disparity in strength, it is difficult not to have a tragedy. Today suddenly understood a concept about security. Safety is not just about living in your own house with your family and being safe from thieves and bad guys, but also about the existence of a system that protects you from being hurt by those close to you, you can seek help and deter bad people. Playing 110 for the first time in my life, I still feel a lot of emotion.

Nothing is absolutely right or wrong, just choose a comfortable path that you like and go on.

As a woman, I still live in a lively place, with the presence of the government and the police, and security. The more you live, the more timid you are. How many horror movies you've seen is not as impressive as a personal experience.

I didn't understand the characters in Danny's mouth before, but now it seems that it should be multiple personalities, which appeared to protect the main character, and he did it.

The Shining quotes

  • Jack Torrance: What are you doing down here?

    Wendy Torrance: [sobbing] I just wanted to talk to you.

    Jack Torrance: Okay, let's talk. What do you wanna talk about?

    Wendy Torrance: I can't really remember.

    Jack Torrance: You can't remember... Maybe it was about... Danny? Maybe it was about him. I think we should discuss Danny. I think we should discuss what should be done with him. What should be done with him?

    Wendy Torrance: I don't know.

    Jack Torrance: I don't think that's true. I think you have some very definite ideas about what should be done with Danny and I'd like to know what they are.

    Wendy Torrance: Well, I think... maybe... he should be taken to a doctor.

    Jack Torrance: You think "maybe" he should be taken to a doctor?

    Wendy Torrance: Yes.

    Jack Torrance: When do you think "maybe" he should be taken to a doctor?

    Wendy Torrance: As soon as possible...?

    Jack Torrance: [mocking/imitating her] As soon as possible...?

    Wendy Torrance: Jack! What are... you...

    Jack Torrance: You think his health might be at stake.

    Wendy Torrance: Y-Yes!

    Jack Torrance: You are concerned about him.

    Wendy Torrance: Yes!

    Jack Torrance: And are you concerned about me?

    Wendy Torrance: Of course I am!

    Jack Torrance: Of course you are! Have you ever thought about my responsibilities?

    Wendy Torrance: Oh Jack, what are you talking about?

    Jack Torrance: Have you ever had a single moment's thought about my responsibilities? Have you ever thought, for a single solitary moment about my responsibilities to my employers? Has it ever occurred to you that I have agreed to look after the Overlook Hotel until May the first. Does it matter to you at all that the owners have placed their complete confidence and "trust" in me, and that I have signed a letter of agreement, a "contract," in which I have accepted that responsibility? Do you have the slightest idea what a "moral and ethical principal" is? Do you? Has it ever occurred to you what would happen to my future, if I were to fail to live up to my responsibilities? Has it ever occurred to you? Has it?

    Wendy Torrance: [swings the bat] Stay away from me!
