Just out of prison, Billy looked around for the toilet to no avail. Whether you feel hilarious or sympathetic to this scene, Vincent Gallo's goal has been achieved. He successfully showed the anxiety and helplessness of Billy who was teased by fate. Vincent Gallo's imagination is embodied in the clever sampling of the boring events of reality.
Billy, Layla, and Billy's parents sit around a square table, and the camera looks at the other three from one person's perspective. Clean and neat, full of tension. At Layla's request, Billy's father sang for her. The singing is full of tenderness and honey, which contrasts with Billy's father's manic character. If this kind of singing can't move you, then Layla's attentive listening to the sexy expression in her expression can definitely move you. Billy walked into the striptease bar alone and shot and killed the losing player of the Water Buffalos team in a realistic imagination. This scene can be called one of the classic scenes of violent aesthetics. If it is the real ending, it is not unreasonable, and it does not have its meaning. In fact, most ordinary people who fell into despair have not been effectively redeemed, and their deaths will not shake the world as Billy imagined.
However, Vincent Gallo gave Billy a happy ending again: he gave up the idea of suicide after killing, and returned to Layla with hot cocoa and a heart-shaped cookie. This is what Layla and Billy need, what we need, and what all those who desire to be redeemed need: to achieve redemption with love. This film is very similar to the director's other half-devil work "Brown Rabbit". "Brown Rabbit" is also a very different temperament film that I love very much. Admire this man named Vincent Gallo, who directed and acted himself, he was brilliant, he was handsome,. He is just right childish. He has the courage to expose the dark side of his heart. So fucking special!
