do what the guy in the film wanted did or report it to someone higher up.
A:
I know that it might be difficult, but you know what she is like, and if you are unhappy with a manager that keeps biting your head off, then I would suggest that you would probably want to keep your eyes out for a new job somewhere else. She is not going to change her methods, and I don't think that she would like you going above her head to her manager, so unfortunately, it looks like you're going to have to either suck it up, or start looking for another job that has a manager that would respect you more.

I think you should talk to someone higher. You work for them and they need to show a level of respect for you like you should to them.. If they don't I would tell someone. I did when I was working retail once and she had a talk with my manager and of course my manger never treated me the same way again, but I wasn't going to go on being treated like that. If not I would find another job and know that you deserve better no matter what career choice you make.

Document and back it up by talking to whoever's over her, plus sending a copy of your documentation. You deserve the same amount of respect from her as she expects from you. It's a two-way street, not a one-way. You're trying to be an asset to the company and she's biting your head off? Not professional.
If after your meeting with a higher-up your manager continues her behavior, and/or intimidates or disrespects you in any way-keep documenting, send copies to her higher-up AND HR. Doing so gives you empowerment, you're protecting your integrity and tells them that unprofessional behavior shouldn't be tolerated.
Good luck
