In the animated movie Up, a shy lonely man knows joy, married to the love of his
life and delighting in their little home, even with its sorrows. After Ellie
dies, Carl becomes increasingly sealed in by grief and pain, his frown deepening
into fixed furrows, the beautiful nest becoming an airless bubble. Soon, booming
industry and development surround and dwarf the little house, until Carl becomes
a bewildered, angry prisoner within the world and within himself.
