lamentation, esp. for the dead; dirge (送葬曲), funeral song.  





PDVD_000  

Gone Baby Gone, by contrast, creates a more turbulent, [textured] sense of the city as a character. The opening credits' somber street-scene montage—less a city symphony than a [city] threnody—[situates] the film in concrete particulars even before it rolls up outside the girl's home, a Dog Day Afternoon madhouse of gawkers, live-at-five news crews, and neighbors momentarily diverted from their grills.

。抑揚頓挫

syncopate 

legato

staccato 

rapid-fire, staccato [speech]  

They aren't inherently cinematic with their staccato 'greatest hits' survey of life since movies are always strongest when they capture something [seismic] in [miniature about a character, story, time, or theme that suggests rather than illustrates a major life beyond two hours.

glissando

"glissando"

obbligato

obligatory or indispensable

Played as a thundering [obbligato] to the milky generosity of the girl, these scenes carry the moralizing muscle and ironic punch of the film.

cacophony    

incongruous 

concur

wherein Bond [concurs] as this is too scented for his [palate] and suggests a Theotaki Aspro which is a white wine made in Corfu.

The [brother][s] rarely concur [on] any issues.

[Wealth] and [happiness] do not always concur.



。樂章

segue 

rendition  

coda 

penultimate 

preamble 

denouement 

So when the time comes fro Cleo to leave, his sense of loss is palpable, but the gift of hope she has also brought him leads to a beautiful, poetic denouement [imbued] with all of Coppola’s remarkable powers to [conjure] mood and atmosphere.

The film's denouement represents a significant misstep -- arguably its only misstep.

Director-writer-photographer-editor Kubrick wasn't pleased with the studio-imposed ending added by its distributor (United Artists), but that compromise was a lot more logical and satisfying than the filmmaker's intended denouement.



。樂曲

。樂器 

。聲樂 

Harp



。戲劇

libretto 

Luchetti finally injects a [sinister] note during a student performance of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy"; the hall is surrounded by blackshirts objecting to Marxist sentiments expressed in the amusingly [re]worked libretto. (歌劇等) 歌詞,劇本

histrionic 

But Coixet never once resorts [to] spell-it-out narration or "seize the day" histrionics. Her heroine ends the film as she began it: [reserved], modest, and with no desire for martyrdom.

matinee


catastasis

"catastasis" (古典悲劇中) 大禍臨發生之前之緊張情節



。書卷

bildungsroman 

belletrist 

tome

annotate

hiatus 

proviso 

herein 

heretofore

withal

Arguably the weakest of the three story strands, but amusing enough [withal], section features straight-on TV documentary-style interviews with the lad's mother, neighbors, teachers and classmates.

nigh

One cannot conceive the splendid quality of this slightly [sullied] but [nigh] angelic Miss who lives in a boarding house by the railroad in a brakish Mississippi town until one sees how deeply and purely she comes to love Robert Redford,【文】(接) 近於

yonder

Well, for one thing, he has a boy named Boo that he keeps chained to a bed in the house over yonder.【書】那邊的,遠處的

Mr Huysmans, here is another thought. You see that monkey yonderdancing to the fiddle?



。作品

oeuvre 

Played with total self-absorption and a corresponding absence of vanity, Suzanne is a [harried] composition in [frowsy] blonditude, filmy [scarves], and mad décolletage—the most dynamic female protagonist in the [Hou] oeuvre.

But those [steeped] in Gerwig’s still-[nascent ]oeuvre were left questioning how someone who had [poured ]herself so fully into wonderfully quirky cinematic experiments could now be a part of the very machine those films seemed to reject.

Witness Gregg Araki, creator of such dark hipster romps as The Living End and The Doom Generation, which with their blankly gorgeous casts and frothy nihilism were every bit as definitively 90s as Williamson's oeuvre.

In terms of Baumbach’s limited oeuvre, my personal favorite is still the [bitter] Margot at the Weddding, which featured year’s best performances from Jennifer Jason Leigh and Nicole Kidman.

opus 

opra, numered according to the order of publication

And, indeed, Anderson's 2009 opus Fantastic Mr. Fox (based on the children's book by Roald Dahl) proves to be as perfect a fit for the auteur as fans were hoping.

oater 

horse opra

ode 

"a hilarious, often ingenious ode [to] America."

but entire cast has been very carefully chosen for its choral [eff]ectiveness.

extol

films extolled from the [likes] of Tom Hanks, Francis Ford Coppola, Clint Eastwood, to name just a few. 

whether we're making our favorite movies our own (which Mike and Jerry do quite literally) or inventing our histories (which the whole ensemble does, by [extolling] their city as the supposed birthplace of jazz musician Fats Waller).

And Sharif's father, Mr. Butler, a teacher, extols the [virtues] of education in a practical, unsermonizing manner.

paean 

is [at] some level

a [paean] of [praise] [to] the fortitude and moral courage that 

[paeon] a prosodic foot in verse - ---

[peon] social have-nots

An indie-rock-soundtracked paean [to] the lonesome crowded West, director Mark Milgard's promising debut is a refreshingly region-specific entry in a teen-angst subgenre plagued by lazily sketched suburban settings. 

John Turturro's loving (and unselfconsciously coarse) musical paean [to] working-class marital and sexual [woes] has some fascinating antecedents. 

"After Hours," was unlike anything they had recorded before or since. From a band known for raw, noisy paeans to drugs and decadence, The Velvet Underground was a quiet contemplation of love, faith, and where one fits into the grand scheme of things,

hymn 

Our picture is a cosmic epic, a hymn to [life].

psalm

But be filled with the spirit, speaking to yourselves in [psalms] and [hymns] and spiritual songs

limn

in a fallen world filled with subterfuge and delicately [limned] with the pain of exile.

lilt

rhythmic swing or cadence

Page is a nice girl from Nashville who grew up listening to the honeyed lilt of [singing] preachers

"Saved!" is a minor work, yet it has a teasing [lilt] to it, and to make it at all took courage and originality. 

The [lilting] music stops as the first alternate reality, Manhattan, has these kids picking up a cell phone of someone who seems intent on getting it back, all Eagle Eye serious.

Murdoch recedes from the spotlight on occasion, letting Steve Jackson deliver two music-biz [spiels] and giving Isobel Campbell space to shine with the lilting "Is It Wicked Not to Care?"
