In fact, it is only a record of personal understanding, not a discussion of film quality.
I thought that all stories in A were deceptive. On the surface, this is a story of a man and a woman who fell in love for a long time. However, just as Layla pretended to Bill's parents that he fell in love with Bill at first sight, it was all rumors that couldn't stand scrutiny.
The B side of the story is a love history woven with various symbols and shooting techniques, that is, how a man and a woman go from physical relationship to spiritual dependence. Simply put, it is from a friend to a lover. The movie begins with Bill looking for the toilet, where urgency is equal to sexual impulse. Bill couldn't pee under the man's gaze, suggesting that he was a straight man. Then Bill found Layla, and the two of them got into the car with half pushing. Bill peeed on the side of the road, groaned exaggeratedly after returning to the car and apologized to Layla, suggesting that the first passion scene was over. After hurriedly addressing his physical needs, Bill began to feel spiritual emptiness. The close relationship between his mother and him cannot continue to the present, just like his mother is always looking back at the game before the Buffalo lost. The otaku friend also couldn't understand his emptiness. So Bill took Layla to the bowling alley and actually opened the room. The next bowling scene is a very hardcore passion scene (think the slow motion of undressing, the ball, the fairway, the cries after a goal and the big red pillars that Layla dances around). The next photo scene hinted that Layla was starting to move, and Bill hesitated again. The two went to the restaurant and were brought to the table with a sense of ceremony. Layla ordered hot chocolate, which symbolized the response of longing for love. It's a pity that Bill encounters the goddess, is entangled in the fantasy of the perfect woman, and insists on leaving. However, the unsatisfied lower body felt the urge to pee again, driven by instinct, he went back to the restaurant to go to the toilet, and took Layla away before the hot chocolate was served. After that, Motel's bathroom and bed scenes were actually psychological scenes. Layla hoped that the relationship between the two would go further, and Bill chose to leave despite his attachment. Fortunately, the desire for intimacy finally made him put down the pursuit of primitive impulse, and returned to his lover with hot chocolate.
So, the intimacy in the second half of life comes from the lover. I reluctantly accept this kind of urge to marry.
