It hurts to see Billy being ignored and disliked by his parents after he came home! He has been living in a loving family. Despite this, he still cared about his parents, and asked his friends and hostess to send them regular letters. After he was released from prison, he asked someone to pretend to be his wife to visit them, and repeatedly explained that he wanted to be respectful to him. His parents didn't care at all, they even felt that his birth was a mistake and that his existence had no value. A person who has never been loved seems to have no meaning in life. So he was not afraid of death, and decided to commit suicide after revenge for killing, ending this bleak life.
"Buffalo 66" is a semi-autobiographical film written, directed and acted by the male protagonist, which is a portrayal of his real life. At the age of 16, Vincent Gallo was kicked out by his gambler's father and paid for his tuition by doing odd jobs. This eccentric child, with a clear appearance of exotic blood, has since then been shown to be out of place and maverick from the world around him. He traveled to Europe alone, wandering, sometimes begging for a living. That experience turned Gallo into a social fringe and a freewheeling performance artist.
Billy's heart is kind, painful, sensitive, inferior, and vulnerable. He uses anger and indifference to protect himself tightly, like a fearful hedgehog. Once someone enters his safe area, he immediately erects his thorns all over his body. to stab someone. He was simply like a child, and when he met an angel-like Leila who fell in love with him without hesitation, he seemed very uncomfortable and refused her approach. When someone who has not been loved is suddenly fully accepted and loved, there is suspicion and fear, and it feels unreal.
Billy is moved by Layla's sincerity, and he gives up revenge and returns with her favorite hot chocolate and cookies. Hearts that have been closed for a long time are melted like icebergs, and people become lovely. To love someone is to accept everything about them, and those who are so determined to be loved are lucky!
I hope you and I have such luck!
