Buffalo 66 is undoubtedly Gallo's peak work, and his talent for directing and acting is undoubtedly revealed in this work. The opening chapter is Billy, starring Gallo, with a thin face and a thin figure wearing a pair of eye-catching red boots. At the beginning, there is a funny scene of holding back urine, showing the miserable little character in life. Everywhere I hit the wall and it was ridiculous. I couldn't even find a toilet. I had to clamp my legs and go to a dance classroom. I finally managed to vent my urine. As a result, a gay next to him looked at him and said: You are so big . It made Billy have no urge to urinate and fry his hair. The director uses a particularly witty and relaxed technique and appropriate performance to restore the attitude and situation of a real low-level little person. However, Billy, who had just been released from prison, boasted to his parents on the phone that he was completely different, that he was well-off and had a happy family.
What was Billy's family like? Childhood father's tyranny strangled his beloved pet, mother never cared about her and even forgot her name and food allergies and even hated Billy's birth, which made him miss the Buffalo game.
What about Billy's love? The girl he had had a crush on since he was a student is now smoking a cigarette and flirting with a civil servant in person, laughing at him, his expression full of contempt.
But what about Billy? He tried his best to prove and keep those precious and only loves. He spent a lot of money betting on the Buffalo team to make up for his mother's regret, and even after being imprisoned, he asked his good friends to help him send letters to his home continuously, and accidentally held Lei hostage. Pulling her back home with him as his beloved wife, he repeatedly told her to make him appear dignified and worthy. There are pictures of the girl he has a crush on in his closet. He named Leila, who is his wife, the girl he has a crush on. He is irritable, swearing, cold and rude, but he is the only one who can be comforted. Layla was bowled by Leila, a girl who was struggling to hold the ball, could play with ease and understand that everything that was important to him was gone from him, he hid in the toilet and choked in tears, he curled up in the corner of the bathtub He hugged his knees and said, "Don't look at me!" Obviously a helpless child pretending to be cold, he retains the purest love.
And Leila is a symbol of tolerance, warmth and beauty. She said: You are the best and most handsome man I have ever met. And when Billy left the arms he wanted from Billy and the words I love you, it melted him who was going to die with the enemy.
The moment he pulled the gun, he understood that love does not need proof, it is there, it is there.
Many films have the incarnation of creating beautiful and simple women to save the souls of confused men. Fellini's "The Road" and "Fandor and Liz", but I personally think that this film is not to highlight the beauty and power of love. On the contrary, what is more prominent is the problem of the miserable helplessness of the little people and the mapping of family and society. After all, in real life, not everyone will encounter the gentle Layla, the simple silly girl Geersomina and the beautiful Liz .
