I'd like to call this one of the best romances in movie history.
Male protagonist Billy: fragile, kind, sensitive, gentle, and stern.
Layla: Gentle, naughty, kind, compassionate, angel on earth.
1. Billy is wearing a pair of eccentric red men's high heels, the only bright color on his body, perhaps a sign of his desire to be noticed.
2. Billy speaks like a big man, firm, confident, and decisive, especially to his "dumb" friend and Layla. But as soon as he turned around, when no one saw him, he revealed his vulnerable side. The more vulnerable people are, the better at arming themselves with strength.
3. Billy always repeats and confirms "Did you hear", maybe this is because in real life, his words are always ignored.
4. Billy's parents treated him with indifference and cruelty. The mother does not remember having such a son. Father killed his puppy in front of little Billy with his own hands.
5. Billy lay on the cold bench after his release, thinking about keeping his parents safe, showing both his longing for family ties and protection from low self-esteem and lies - after five years in prison In 2008, he entrusted his friends to send a letter to his family every month.
6. Bee treated Layla with rude language and threatened to kill her, but he didn't commit any actual violation to her. After all, he was kind and even cowardly at heart. I asked Leyla not to see it when she urinated wildly. I guess at this time, Leyla was not only not afraid, but even wanted to laugh a little.
7. The only thing Billy is good at is bowling, but after a few misses, Layla, who was a rookie, knocked down all the balls and beat Billy's real self-esteem. It's really funny.
8. Billy and Layla take a photo and ask Layla to show a "love him, be happy but don't touch him" attitude, but he himself has an apocalyptic look, and every time the flash comes on, more than Lidu blinked subconsciously. I don't think Billy is used to such close contact.
9. Layla is well-behaved and sensible and not out of balance. She told Billy's parents that Billy worked at the CIA. All women like Billy and make faces when taking pictures. The girl is full of heart.
10. No matter how Billy treats her, Layla is always submissive. The only time she talks back is when Billy scolds Layla for the girl he has a crush on. Layla insists on drinking her own hot chocolate. But Billy softly begged her to leave, and she complied.
11. Leila wants to go into the bathroom with Billy and promises never to look at him, it's like a man saying "I'll just hug and do nothing", hahaha.
12. The two were lying on the bed, but Billy's body was sideways out of the bed. This was a struggle, and then Billy curled up like a baby, and Layla stroked her tenderly, and the love overflowed at this moment.
13. Billy decided to kill the guy who played match-fixing that year, not because that guy put him in prison for five years, but because the game lost his mother Billy's last possible attention.
14. Billy's only friend is a "fool", but the fool hears that Billy is going to do something stupid, which means he's not stupid, he's a real friend.
15. When leaving the hotel, Layla had a premonition that something bad would happen, she said to Billy, can you hug me, you must come back.
16. Billy lingered at the final door and eventually he dropped the gun in his hand and he called the fool to tell him "I met a girl who loves me". Pain makes you move forward, but love makes you look back.
17. The story is told from Billy's point of view throughout the film. There is no account of Layla's identity and background, but she drives a broken car without wipers, practices in a humble dance studio, and listens to Billy hysterically in the bathroom. to call parents. In that moment, sympathy and pity took over her heart. At the same time, I think Layla probably also has a not-so-happy family and not-so-good parents, so she has a strong emotional resonance. Layla definitely doesn't have Stockholm Syndrome, she just met someone who is similar to her and that's why she became an angel.
For some people, the only valuable thing you can learn from your parents is to never be like them.
