A perfect woman who only exists in movies

I watched too many movies with hopeless endings, and suddenly, one afternoon, a low-cost little work touched me. This is "Buffalo '66", which is said to be hope, but it also has a taste of "spiritual victory". Only intimidation, threats, and violence can make Billy look a little self-respectful. In the end, he finally found a girl who loved him before deciding to commit suicide. No matter from which point of view, this girl named layla is indeed a bit "masochistic", but what does it matter? There is no reason for love itself. In general, Layla still makes sense. Her extraordinary instincts told her that the disgusting man in front of her, who is awkward and talkative, might be the "good man" she was looking for. why? First, the first scene: When Billy called and asked him for coins, she kept eavesdropping outside the door. A lunatic who has been unjustly imprisoned actually first thinks of his family after he is released from prison. Whether he is doing it for a lie or for other reasons, this alone cannot be done by many selfish men. Secondly, when Billy threatened her, including when he talked to other friends, he had a habit of repeating his own words (very nagging) for fear that the other party would not understand it. This shows that Billy is a man who is serious and willing to listen. His anxiety shows his kindness (although his mouth is fierce, as if he doesn't care about anything, but his behavior reveals his essence), he is a "true man" who talks about one thing. Third, the scene in the shower. Layla had already learned about Billy's cold family before, but she didn't know about Billy's murder and suicide plan, and she didn't ask. But the sudden crush on her ex-girlfriend and her disgusting performance gave Layla a deep understanding of Billy. Although Billy was always wary of this, he refused to cooperate. But as a man, a man with a cold heart, even if there is only a little warmth at this time, he will suddenly realize. This is exactly what Layla did and talked to Billy. This also directly prompted Billy's final "gorgeous turn"-the most brilliant part of the film.

Therefore, the most perfect character in this film is not billy, but layla who has been enduring billy. In reality, such a rational, intelligent, and discerning woman is very rare. It is no exaggeration to say that Layla has poured almost all the director's illusions about the "perfect girlfriend". Everyone knows that, no matter from a physical or psychological point of view, women, especially beautiful women, are rarely unwilling. But Layla's mental age is completely at the level of a psychologist. Her cuteness, in Billy's arrogance time and time again, not only did not lose, but more likable (mainly to please men, because most women will call her cheap). But what is real? Those women who scolded her for being mean won't get love, because they are more mean than they are after. Layla is a love idealist, and so is Billy. So even if two people scold each other "fuck you!", they can still love each other. Don't ask why, because this is "Buffalo '66", the value of this good movie. There are many details here that are worthy of recollection, such as calling, driving, playing records, and tap dancing. . . . These designs are not only for the creation of characters, think about it carefully, you will find some ways of getting along with people. Whether it is a friend, a lover, or a couple. . . . What we desire is sometimes very, very simple, but the surrounding environment just doesn't give us this "simple". As a result, many people put up their middle finger. Women in reality don't think about problems like Layla. They are all spoiled. The movie finally returned to its essence-the dream machine.

    Vincent, like those new wave warriors, used those offensive photography and subtitles to break the shadow and rush to love and freedom, an idealistic ending of "My Heart is Wild", after all, no one wants someone to be in their own. At his funeral, he was also addicted to money-killing football.

    The vibe is great, the colors are great, the soundtrack is great, and Christina Ricci is beyond charming.
