love is sometimes inexplicable

Let me talk about two flaws about the film, one: the hero keeps repeating his lines. (This kind of annoys me a bit). Second: the director's camera always finds ways to seize every opportunity to stare at the plump breasts of the heroine Christina Ricci. (That's too much!)
The appearance of both flaws is clearly related to the fact that this film is the director's debut (director and star), and he has to keep talking to himself to hide some kind of unease as a newbie, and also He had to express his views and opinions more clearly to his audience by talking nonstop)” (at least he thought so).
What about the flaws (about the breasts)? Of course it's about commercial considerations, but it's a bit too blatant.
Let's go back to the movie itself, is Billy innocent? Legally, yes. But in a moral sense, no.
The tragedy that led to his imprisonment was actually a series of scams, Billy, a guy who didn't have ten thousand dollars, went to participate in a $10,000 gamble. , the boss of the gang is Mickey Rourke, the old guy is really cool!) As a scapegoat for a criminal case that has nothing to do with him, he was thrown into prison, and after he was in prison, he learned that it was actually a Buffalo player cheating at that time, That will bring him to this point. So he was obsessed with killing the player. But what he didn't figure out was that he was actually the initiator of his own imprisonment (he finally figured it out at the end).
In my opinion, it is a relatively alternative way (compared to mainstream movies) to tell a story about the so-called "soul redemption". (In the end, Billy didn't kill the "cheating player" when he faced him) (For Americans, such stories are mainstream).
Are Layla and Billy the perfect couple? At least in my opinion, not like. (One is naughty, the other is old-fashioned. One is a carnivore, one is a vegetarian, one likes chocolate, and one is allergic to chocolate).
But it's more like ordinary people's love (not like a princess and a prince), it doesn't look like a good match, but it's the most suitable.
That is two lonely, lonely people hugging each other for warmth.
