Specialty Definition: Bound

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Bound (1996) is an American movie in the crime thriller genre, directed by the Wachowski brothers (of The Matrix fame). It stars Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly.

Warning: Wikipedia contains spoilers

The story revolves around the two main characters, Corky and Violet, and their attempt to steal 2 million dollars from Violet's Mafia-connected husband Caesar (played by Joe Pantoliano), whilst making him believe it was stolen by another Mafia member. There are numerous twists in the plot, as he and various other characters become aware that something unusual is going on.

Along the way, the couple form a strong lesbian relationship, and the film is often cited as one of the few movies where a lesbian couple experience a happy ending.

Lexicography

Devil's Dictionary

RIGHTEOUSNESS, n. A sturdy virtue that was once found among the Pantidoodles inhabiting the lower part of the peninsula of Oque. Some feeble attempts were made by returned missionaries to introduce it into several European countries, but it appears to have been imperfectly expounded. An example of this faulty exposition is found in the only extant sermon of the pious Bishop Rowley, a characteristic passage from which is here given: "Now righteousness consisteth not merely in a holy state of mind, nor yet in performance of religious rites and obedience to the letter of the law. It is not enough that one be pious and just: one must see to it that others also are in the same state; and to this end compulsion is a proper means. Forasmuch as my injustice may work ill to another, so by his injustice may evil be wrought upon still another, the which it is as manifestly my duty to estop as to forestall mine own tort. Wherefore if I would be righteous I am bound to restrain my neighbor, by force if needful, in all those injurious enterprises from which, through a better disposition and by the help of Heaven, I do myself restrain."
