A confession letter to a good guy with a fool

"The Catcher in the Rye", "Taxi Driver", "Fuck the World", "Wayne", etc., literary works such as these revolve around a theme: how a kind person, a pure person can be at a loss in this world to live. To put it simply, while changing the world, you also change yourself in the end. To be more complex and artistic, you talk about reaching reconciliation with the world or illuminating this indifferent world in your own way. This movie falls into the latter category, but I'm reluctant to classify it as a literary film because of its dark humor, because of its realistic portrayal, because you can use this movie to identify good/bad guys, wise man/foolish man . The protagonist Billy belongs to the combination of a good man and a foolish man, but at the same time he is also a person who is not mature enough in mind and physiology. The five-year prison life is like a preservative and retains the same cognitive level as a high school student. In addition, the problem of the original family , he is undoubtedly a macho, paranoid, irritable kid, but when he meets Layla, he matures little by little, these shortcomings of him are not really who he is, but his way of fighting the world, frozen by his side The ice that protected him but made him colder. Maybe he will always hurt those he loves and those who love him in this way, but I believe that in the near future, under the re-education of love, he will also become an upright and kind person. Even if he does not believe in this complex and ever-changing world, he will believe in his own love and his simple logic based on love.

In addition, Vincent Gallo's true character played Billy's portrayal of the character, and suddenly saw his own shadow. When Billy shook hands with Layla, this was the second time this week that I couldn't help but want to cry. The first time I went to the cinema to watch "Love Letter", I couldn't hold back when I saw it, and I hid in the toilet alone to digest my emotions for a long time. If I had to describe myself, it would be a good person + wise man, where wise man represents a person's high level of socialization (but not much, you can expect a good person's level of socialization He's thankful he's not locked into his own little world), the more socialized a good guy is, the more he accepts and the more he doesn't believe. In addition, foolish man in this respect symbolizes an ideal state, a pure crystal, which is the refinement of film language, an art, something higher than reality.

PS: Christina Ricci's cup is absolutely amazing, pure and lustful, and captivating.

    I think it would be better for him to kill someone in the end of this film. It's a bit like Yang Dechang's juvenile murder. The Hollywood suspense flashback of a murder is completely different from the literary and artistic human environment analysis. It's a pity that he still didn't kill anybody, and he just got better inexplicably. In "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Jin Yong at least let Ying Gu stabbed Emperor Duan with a stab to fully understand it. This turning point in this film is really not enough to explain. And how can this woman fall in love with this man so inexplicably, whether she is too stupid or masochistic, this is also something that hasn't been explained enough.

    Compared with the preaching point of view of saving the universe in Interstellar, this is obviously much more moving. Save someone you are willing to love, and the world you are together is the universe. In addition, a child-like big breast with Stockholm Syndrome and full of maternal aura, is it the Virgin Mary of all men who are strong on the surface and fragile in heart? The men's shoes and leather jackets, the father's solo singing, the woman's tap dance, the hotel kissing and curling up to sleep are beautiful and can be included in textbooks

  • Billy Brown: I'm asking you to come there and make me look good. Alright? And if you make a fool out of me, I swear to God, I'll kill you right there. Boom! Right in front of Mommy and Daddy. And I'll tell you something else, you make me look bad... I will never ever talk to you again, ever. But if you do a good job, well, then you can be my best friend. My best friend that I've ever had. You hear me?

  • Billy Brown: We're taking pictures like we're a couple. Like we like each other. Like we're husband and wife, and we *span* time together. We *span* time together as a couple. Because we're a loving couple, *spanning* time. These photos are us, in love, *spanning* time.
