"O" is obscenely
« Reply #10270 on: January 17, 2007, 05:23:45 pm »
Ennis's initial words to the obscenely disgusting bikers were nonconfrontational:  "Hey, you might want to keep it down.  I got two little girls here."  [DVD]

"P" is pyrotechnicians

The obscenely foulmouthed, loudmouthed bikers were the pyrotechnicians who lit Ennis's fuse.

"R" is rabble-rousers

The bikers were obscene, loudmouthed rabble-rousers who roused Ennis' anger.

"S" is surrounding
« Reply #10273 on: January 17, 2007, 08:29:39 pm »
Ennis looks back at Alma, then kicks Biker #1 right in the face, bloodying his nose and knocking him out cold.

Alma and the girls move away in horror, the fireworks and music in the background. Several of the surrounding families are quickly packing up to get away from the brawl.     [2003 screenplay]

"T" is Tremblay's
« Reply #10274 on: January 17, 2007, 08:49:48 pm »
Additional Assistant Director Pierre Tremblay's memory of the fireworks scene is that it was a "challenging little sequence" to film.

Computer trouble is exactly what happened.  First I mistakenly posted a previously-used word.  When informed of that, I went to find a new one, and couldn't stay logged on long enough to find, check, then post it.  That's how come me end up here, 5 1/2 hours later.  Sorry.

"U" is unmannerly
« Reply #10275 on: January 17, 2007, 09:28:33 pm »
Ennis objected to the bikers' unmannerly behavior, especially since it was in the presence of his two little girls.

"V" is verses
« Reply #10276 on: January 17, 2007, 09:55:47 pm »
The marching band at the Riverton July 4th Fireworks show
played at least one of the verses of
The Battle Hymn of the Republic.

One of the verses of Battle Hymn of the Republic, as written by Julia Ward Howe in 1861:

I have seen him in the watchfires of an hundred circling camps
They have builded him an altar in the evening dews and damps,
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps,
         His day is marching on.

This isn't the verse we usually hear, but it might be good for anyone
stuck in a damp camp on a mountain with only lamps for light.


Complete Song

  • There's no reins on this one....
"W" is wary
« Reply #10277 on: January 17, 2007, 10:01:50 pm »
From the moment Ennis turned and spoke to the foulmouthed bikers, Alma was wary of trouble brewing.

"X" is xplosively

After the bikers failed to follow Ennis's advice about shutting their slop-bucket mouths, Ennis reacted xplosively.
