This is another story about memory and forgetting. In the fall of 2004, as I was about to overcome the most arduous forgetting I've ever suffered in my life, Eternal Sunshine of a Beautiful Mind nearly beat me and put all my efforts in vain. Now, when I encounter "Brown Rabbit" again, it is another theme of "Lost My Love Forever". There are large sections of portrait close-ups, silent and sad; large sections of the highway shuttle, lonely and hesitant. It seems that in everyone's life, there will be similar times, such unknown endings, such nowhere to fall back on. Fighting with oblivion in loneliness, fighting silently, parting with the past. "Brown Rabbit" is directed and acted by Vincent Gallo. Gallo is an interesting character: (quote below) This man with a sullen look in his eyes really has an unforgettable face. And his rich experience is equally unique. Gallo ran away from home at the age of 16, came to New York alone with three boxes of canned food stolen from a working grocery store, caught up with the Downtown New Wave here, spent all day in clubs, and New York's underground artists They became buddies. In the summer of 1978, he wandered in Europe and was proud to discover that he could make a living by painting. Back in New York, he lived in Little Italy and started making super 8mm short films, painting, sculpting, writing poetry, appearing in TV shows and underground movies, and trying to make a difference in music. He even once Participated in several bands. He felt that painting was what he wanted to do the most. He painted on mottled metal flakes. Those works looked like unearthed cultural relics. He said it was a cultural metaphor in his own memory. He was obsessed with motorcycle racing for a while, but later decided to become an actor because the danger was too great. Eric Michel in The Way It Is, 1983 Or Eurydice of the Avenues, which gave him not only a role, but also the soundtrack to the film, which ended up earning Gallo the Best Music Award at the Berlin Film Festival. But Gallo, who turned into an actor, didn't shine on the screen until the 1990s. From Kusturica's "Sleepwalking in Arizona" to Billy August's "House of the Elf", although he only appears in supporting roles, this actor with an evil spirit that is out of line with Hollywood orthodoxy will always give people Impress. He rarely takes on mainstream commercial blockbusters, preferring to use his acting talents in those independent films. He is unique and irreplaceable in films such as "Funeral" and "Angela". He has a strong sense of special presence, which makes people unable to ignore his performance even for a moment, and this brilliance even completely eclipses the other actors. Although for him, acting is just a job that can earn real rewards, and it is far from satisfying his creative passion. Therefore, it is logical for him to be a director. In 1998, Gallo released the black comedy Buffalo 66. Although he said that the purpose of making the film was to give him the opportunity to play opposite Christina Ricci, the film, which he wrote, directed, starred and scored, showed his talents in all aspects. And the film is quite autobiographical.
