Storyline:As the lights are extinguished in the parlor, the dining room and the landing, she shyly courts the boy next door in the darkness - hoping (in vain) o be offered a goodnight kiss.Shaken, Luke had climbed out of his ship and was able o help upright R2, who complained that it was a "bad idea" to come there.With this one fluid scene, it illustrates how Alice is a naive, energetic, fiercely determined, imaginative, and impoverished young girl who is painfully shamed by her social status, while projecting hopefully-optimistic mannerisms that she is prosperous.Closeups show wild fowl, rabbits and skunks scurrying to find sanctuary somewhere in the ever-decreasing wheat field.Brooks (his first directorial effort) was based on the novel of he same name by Larry McMurtry.The film, with three X's signifying kisses below its itle, was a major Academy Award winner in 1983, with eleven nominations and five Oscars - and Brooks was atripleOscar winner! It won Best Picture, Best Actress (Shirley MacLaine - her first and sole win), Best Supporting Actor (Jack Nicholson), Best Director, and Best Screenplay.
