After Billy was released from prison, the journey of holding his urine all the way made people tremble......and the story of holding back his urine and holding back love is inexplicably romantic. The same is true of the films made by Vincent Gallo, a man full of melancholy and rebellious temperament. Billy's irrationality, mania, and indifference often give people a strong sense of oppression, except when he is in front of his parents. My mother is warm and hospitable, but she only pays attention to sports events. My father is also extremely indifferent. Only when facing the "fake girlfriend" Layla who was kidnapped by him will he show a little enthusiasm, and he will hug and take advantage from time to time... ... During the entire dinner, it was Leila, an outsider, who supported the situation and relieved the embarrassment. Billy kept his head down and didn't say a word, and his whole body was tense. This weird family atmosphere may come from the real life of Vincent Gallo, but in common sense, the characters of the father and mother seem to be reversed? (refer to Yu Qian's father and mother........)
Only Billy in the bowling alley is the best. The film spends a lot of pictures showing Billy's bowling skills. It seems that Vincent Gallo is also showing off his skills to the audience, while Layla is in the alley. Melancholy solos are imaginative, akin to the performance moments at halftime in a sports game. The image of the two lying in bed in a hotel room instantly reminded me of "Lost in Translation", only in the end they kissed, and Billy was most real when he was curled up like a baby next to Layla, no matter at home. Silent, or aggressive outside, curling up in bed is always the most authentic and safest posture. In the end, when Billy went to the nightclub for revenge, the freeze-frame pictures of shooting murder and headshot suicide were full of joy and modern art, and then his parents were in a state of inattentiveness in front of his tombstone, and his mother was even listening to the live broadcast of the game. The picture is both funny and sad . This is a piece of Billy's imagination before revenge, so he gave up revenge and chose to start a new love and life. This is an abrupt change, but love is more romantic and beautiful because it comes abruptly.
