      Hot chocolate and ice water love each other and kill each other

      I watched it twice after half a year. It may be a shortened version. I was a little disappointed not to see the performance of the nude party. Haha, Billy's heart is as cold and tasteless as the white water he ordered. Dirty words and indifference to arm yourself with a situation that is out of control, and as a Virgo I can see that Billy is a Virgo old virgin who is really cute, and Layla is like the hot chocolate he ordered, very hot Gao, who carefully warms the person...

      It's sunny in the depths

      "Buffalo" is a personal essay about watching the movie. When I saw the ending of the movie, I really feel that this is a very, very, very meaningful movie for me. I think there are two personalities in the male protagonist's body. Like in my body, there are two, one is myself and the other is the patient. Whenever I feel bad, irritable, negative, or want to commit suicide, I think that the patient is controlling the body, but there is Sometimes I think it's unfair. In fact,...

      write at random

      Because the rough editing makes people finish watching this kind of shallow and simple drama with a little spoof and grotesque. From the ending point of view, you will appreciate that "Fengyuechang is really a holy place for men to release pressure", or "life and death matters are short-lived and quickly faded out of life for everyone", you will find that in fact, the male protagonist The performance of the film expresses the process of "five years of resentment and depression"...

      I = the world

      Several inspirations after watching the film: 1. The core of the film: self-centeredness.

      2. This is a work in which the director directs and acts, speaks to himself, and shows the self-centeredness to the extreme. Not just an autobiography, but a display of self-centredness. (The content of the film is self-centered, and the film itself is the specific behavior of the director's self-centeredness)...

      loneliness and loneliness cry

      "The birds in the woods are all gray, and one of them is also gray." I think this poem is one of them that can express loneliness and loneliness so beautifully. However, the male protagonist Billy in "Buffalo 66" does not seem to think so. The first scene of the film is very "lonely". He is released after serving his sentence, dressed in gray clothes, gray walls, and gray-black roads. Maybe it's because it's snowing and the sun and the air are grey, but our Billy is wearing...

      Billy was forced to go to jail because he lost money in gambling and was forced to go to jail for a crime. He was severely lacking in family warmth. He was sturdy on the outside and vulnerable on the inside. I also wanted to kill the player who put him in prison. It was such a second-hand man who met a girl after being released from prison. The girl fell in love with Billy and changed the outcome of his life at the same time. The film is very independent, The title is also...

      Well, it's special, but it doesn't have the height of the legend, Khan, now I feel that Vincent feels like Quentin, collapsed, not only the voice, but also the level of ramble is qualified. . . Of course, the level of narcissism is also...

      After all, it's a boy's romantic, pretentious dream -- the female character's dynamism is comparable to that of an electric inflatable doll, so it's no wonder that Christina Ricci hates Vincent...

    Movie plot

    Once the five-year prison life was over, the first problem Billy encountered after re-entering the society turned out to be unable to find a place to solve his internal emergency. When the fire burned, Billy broke into a dance rehearsal room to find a toilet. By the way, he "kidnapped" Layla who was practicing dance in the rehearsal room and forced her to act as his temporary girlfriend to see his parents. It turns out that Billy has...

    Billy and parents

    This is how his parents treat Billy who hasn't been home for several years. The middle mother may be more enthusiastic, but this does not hinder the whole mechanical process that they carry out. Billy seems to have never left them before, no, it should be more like never belonged to them, Billy was the guest knocking on the door, brought his girlfriend, and then showed them, and then left. Billy's parents didn't know that he was going...

    Billy and the toilet

    To pee is an unsightly verb, but Billy's first request out of prison was indeed to find a toilet. The toilet is Billy's first task. It doesn't matter where many people are. They are in or outside the prison, whether they are alive or dead, it doesn't matter. No one will worry or care. So Billy gave himself two tasks, took a girlfriend back to see his parents, and then killed the Water Buffalos goalkeeper who made him lose everything...

    Billy and the goalkeeper

    Of course Billy was going to shoot the goalkeeper, the goalkeeper of the Water Buffalos team. He unreasonably missed his goal at the critical moment when the Water Buffalos team was about to win, and he could leave all over and have a rich nightclub . Why doesn't the goalkeeper repent for his actions for life, so of course he received black money, so he has the money to open a nightclub. As for Billy, he reported his bad check to the...

    The technology behind film

    Vincent Gallo did show his great future as a director in the film. Coarse particles shooting the entire film, Billy memories to life in prison on nine points with a mirror, to see their parents, when Billy childhood use of documentary video lens, which was in "JFK" in It appears in large numbers, giving people a sense of interlacing true and false, applying such a serious shooting technique to small details in life, ridicule and...

    Film tone

    The whole picture is basically gray, except for Billy's red shoes and Yundi's blue Eye Shadow . Billy, who was thin and gloomy, wore a pair of bright red shoes. This is not the evil red shoes of Hans Christian Andersen , but another bright and beautiful metaphor. Or what it says is that as long as you wear red shoes and dance all the time, you can reach heaven.
    The wonderful dance in the bowling field revealed Yun Di's heart, full of...

    Role analysis

    Is Layla the last angel? She filled the entire room of Billy's parents' house with the love of to chatter or jabber on and on. She used step by step gentle love to influence Billy's desperate emotions. Billy without Layla is desperate, polite parents, mothers who don't know their son is allergic to chocolate and soda, for fear of missing a game, this is Billy's home. Without Layla, Billy would look at them ritually and then disappear...

    Wonderful shots

    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...

    Detailed plot

    "Water Buffalos City 66" ("Buffalo 66") is a movie with many loopholes in the plot, but I chose to believe it completely. Because I like it so much, I completely control the mood of the audience.
    Billy, who had just been released from prison, meets Layla and kidnaps her to go home and pretend to be his wife in front of her parents. And Layla was out of control in his wife's role-playing , fell in love with Billy, and tried to sneak into...
