Calm killer and his girlfriend

At the beginning of the film, you can't see the plot direction at all. If you don't read the introduction, you probably won't guess that it will be related to crime. After Holly's father was shot, he lay on the corpse that hadn't cooled down and spoke softly without panic. Kit killed the old man, but maybe it was really just to get a shovel. The soundtrack is always so relaxed and happy, except for the brief moments of tension when the police appear, the whole film is basically a relaxed and happy atmosphere, and the soundtrack that appears many times is also so quiet and lively, just like Holly.
The appearance of Martin Sheen reminded me of Charlie Sheen, father and son from different eras, with the same faces. Another actor who looks a lot like them is probably David Tennant. Not only handsome, there is hostility in his eyes, but he wants to be close.
The film also mentions how similar Kit and James Dean are many times. He is really a handsome killer. Before being arrested, he did not forget to fix his hair and put on a hat.
It is a pity that James Dean died young, which is one of the reasons he can be missed by the world. The film of 73 years misses people who died in 55 years, and even the new film LIFE also tells the story of JD, but the selection of actors may not be similar enough, maybe it would be better to change to James Franco. I think he is more like JD than Dane DeHaan.

Calmly told the story of a killer and his female companion, and I saw that my heart rate was low

    The casting is great, and tm is worthy of studying philosophy. The whole film is like a clear and deep river. You think you have seen it to the end, but it is still far away. Maybe staring with all your eyes is enough. Kit's excesses and rational words Contradiction, holly lawful and derailed, the contradiction between mildness and indifference, the male and female protagonists are sometimes a kind of contradiction between people who can understand each other and sometimes they are like strangers who know nothing, cherish life and fear death and dust to dust. conflict between life
