This fic began its life as a NaNoWriMo project, and is - uncharacteristically for literally all of my previous projects - still stumbling along, two years later. He was not containing his displeasure so he wouldn’t hurt anyone.Ī/N: And so November begins. The malice his upper classmate radiated wasn’t like Kacchan’s usual antics. Hatred oozed through his mask of indifference like an unfocused of scolding vapor. He kept his face as rigid as he could, but Izuku lived along Kacchan for too many years. Thirteen recalled him, and Hikigaya-senpai obliged. There is history in there too, isn’t it? Izuku didn’t just rekindle an old flame, right? He didn’t just screw up even worse than before, right?! “Bitch.” Hikigaya-senpai muttered under his breath “You didn’t do anything. Hikigaya’s scowl grew, a shadow making his already terrifying eyes colder. Vocal, about not involving one of my classmates with…” If Izuku wanted his attention, he would have to bait him into giving it to Izuku “Yukinishita-senpai visited me during lunch. Hikigaya-senpai disliked having to rely on others, but apparently took offense on not being relied on too. “What are you talking about?” His mouth moved sidewise, as conspiratory a way as any. Hikigaya’s whole body tensed, and slowly turned to face Izuku while keeping his eyes on Thirteen. Did you get visited by Yukinoshita-senpai?” He needed a more tender approach “Hikigaya-senpai. He shot down Izuku’s offer before All Might helped him reconsider. From the few times they met, Hikigaya-senpai always insisted on being left alone. Should he open up with an apology? Or perhaps an assurance that he would help him in any way he could? No. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.“Ummm, Hikigaya-senpai…” It didn’t help Izuku didn’t really know how to talk to him. So she can take time out to marvel at natural splendors and human frailty to examine dreams and deceit and devotion, and to take lots of unexpected detours to tell, in short, a resonant, funny and quite moving shaggy cow story. How those first skeletons get there at the beginning, for instance? "First Cow's" twisty narrative offers a sort of answer, though Reichardt's in no hurry to get to it. MONDELLO: In Reichardt's telling, things rarely happen the way characters expect or the way the audience expects. It's coming, but maybe this time we can take it on our own terms. LEE: (As King Lu) History isn't here yet. Filmmaker Kelly Reichardt is telling a tale here of friendship between men who have little in common besides their state in life, drifters trying to make it in a frontier outpost that's marked by capitalism at its rawest, civilization not yet civil, society barely formed but already growing rigid. MONDELLO: Which means he's none the wiser about their pilfering - yet. UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #3: (As character) She barely produces a thing. He loves the cakes and only wishes his cow were providing more cream to go with them.
MONDELLO: That last voice belongs to the cow's owner, a smug, self-satisfied have among the have-nots of the town. UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #3: (As character) I taste London in this cake. UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #2: (As character) I'll give you six ingots for that last one.
UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #1: (As character) Good lord. MONDELLO: Cookie goes along on a nighttime milking expedition, and properly fortified, his oily cakes hit the spot. LEE: (As King Lu) So is anything worth doing. MAGARO: (As Cookie Figowitz) Seems dangerous. LEE: (As King Lu) We have to take what we can when the taking is good. Intriguing because the camp is abuzz about a new arrival, the first cow in Oregon, which gives King Lu an idea. But he tells King Lu if he had some milk, he could make an oily cake, sort of a fritter. He foragers for mushrooms and berries and provides meals for trappers that fall on deaf tastebuds, as it were. Hash-slinger Cookie Figowitz is the talent. MONDELLO: Runaway Chinese immigrant King Lu is the brains here. JOHN MAGARO: (As Cookie Figowitz) Need leverage. ORION LEE: (As King Lu) There's no way for a poor man to start. Then director Kelly Reichardt flashes back two centuries to explore how they might have gotten there, to an 1820s Gold Rush that's long on hardship, short on creature comforts and ripe for dreamers hoping to get rich quick. Critic Bob Mondello says the film "First Cow" examines an unusual friendship and a good deal more.īOB MONDELLO, BYLINE: We begin in the here and now with a dog finding two skeletons side by side in the Oregon woods. The one that's getting raves is about drifters in the Old West. The one that got mixed reviews involves animated elf brothers.
And finally today, two male bonding quest movies opened in theaters this week.
