Jack and Wendy’s Version of Pillow Talk

thematic reflection

Wendy:

I guess we've been staying up too

late.

Jack:

I know it.

I put this as “thematic reflection” but there’s nothing to pair this with. It’s interesting that Kubrick “tells” the viewer that Wendy and Jack spend time together, but what we’re shown is that they don’t spend time together.

“Yeah... That’s All It Is.”

Jack’s “that’s all it is” is delivered in a snarky, condescending way while Wendy tries to encourage him. This sets the tone of how Jack and Wendy talk to each other in private. This is their pillow talk.
