Ursprungligen postat av Lotso
Berättar dem i dokumentären vad mannen i björndräkt som suger av en annan man i ett av rummen har för symbolik? I så fall vill jag gärna veta
Det är helt taget från boken. Det är en rik gubbe (jag minns inte om han äger Overlook eller inte) som har med sig en husbög på 20-talsfesten. Bögen får klä ut sig till en hund och bete sig som en på festen, eftersom den rika gubben har sagt att han i så fall skulle kunna tänka sig att ligga med den där bögen.
Inte speciellt mycket symbolik alltså. Mest perverst.
Edit: Så här var det ja.
Citat:
The "bear scene" is a brief moment in The Shining when Wendy, beginning to see the same "1920's Party" events that Jack's been seeing, is wandering through the halls of the hotel. As she looks around a corner, she sees two shapes huddled over the edge of a bed. As she looks, they are revealed to be two men, possibly engaged in oral sex. One is wearing what looks to be a bear costume.
The scene is taken directly from Stephen King's novel. In one of the novel's scenes set in the 1920's party, Jack is dancing with a beautiful woman. He notices that at one table, there is a young man behaving like a pet dog for the amusement of others, including a tall, bald man.
The bald man is Horace Derwent, a Howard Hughes-like figure who poured millions into restoring the Overlook Hotel in the 1920's. (Jack has learned this by reading a mysterious scrapbook earlier in the novel.) The younger man has a romantic crush on the bisexual Derwent, and Derwent has said that 'maybe', if the man dresses like a nice doggy, and acts like a nice doggy, he 'may' be willing to sleep with him.
Later on, in the novel, as Wendy is warily navigating the corridors of the Overlook, she begins to see the visions of the 1920's party. And at one point, peering around a corner, she sees the two men on a bed, one in a doggy costume. The two men are Derwent and his extremely dependent lover.
