This blog will analyze the films of Stanley Kubrick for underlying meaning and symbolism, allegory, metaphor, etc. This includes the study and application of hints given to us in the movies of certain other filmmakers who were influenced by Kubrick; these hints have been designed by these filmmakers to help us interpret Kubrick's movies.
By the time Bill arrives at work (above left), Alice has gotten around to reading the paper (top right). Note that their daughter is occupied by watching TV, an activity which requires no involvement from Alice.
Bill is seeing patients (above left) while Alice primps the daughter (above right).
Bill's well into his busy schedule (above left) by the time Alice starts getting dressed (above right).
Bill has progressed even further into his daily workload (above left), while Alice is still getting ready for the day (above right). In Bill's workplace, Bill is shown as doing virtually all of the work himself.
Above left: Alice and her daughter wrap Christmas presents. Above: Bill makes it home in time to help raise his daughter. Left: At the end of the day, Alice asks Bill how he feels about wrapping the rest of the presents. Bill, tired from his long workday, says, "let's wait until tomorrow." The entire scenario depicted in the above is meant, in part, to get across the idea that those women (such as Alice) who embody the 'evil feminine' nature mentioned in part 4 of the analysis, oftentimes take advantage of certain men, in the sense that these men have a greater tendency than the women do, to accomplish 'real' (i.e., more strenuous) work.
