It’s cool to remember too that Billy planned this day as his last. He thought he was going to kill Scott Wood, and then himself, likely from when we see him out of jail for the first time. But Layla is the goat and fixes him
Layla is an angel, but it does require a bit of suspension of disbelief in trying to figure out how she could love him, especially after being kidnapped by him.
Yes, I feel the movie having this dream like aesthetic was meant to create a setting that makes suspending your disbelief easier, the movie doesn't look like reality so it's easier to remove it from reality. I probably should've mentioned that in this video but I will mention Buffalo 66 a lot for my video on The Brown Bunny that I'll make within the next month.
I always hated how most reviews of this movie were so negative towards Billy and how Layla was more of a manic pixie dream girl. Most think that Layla is some fantasy girl, someone created by the male mind. However I see myself in Layla so increasingly in each scene. Her actions and feelings make so much sense to me. I really love her character, it’s not often you’ll see such a gentle person in media like this. Billy himself is so wonderfully written and played, I’m happy yours differs and sees the movie for what it is. It’s not a Layla movie, it’s one about Billy Brown and his conquest for affections. I really liked your video, I’m so glad I clicked on your profile after you had followed me on Letterboxd. I would guess you’re mostly focused on movie summaries, hence your name, however I would really like to hear more of your analysis and retrospective on the movies!
Thanks! That's great to hear. I try to add as much of a retrospective as I can, I know what you mean though. There is room for more with this video but my video on The Brown Bunny will be more than just a video on the movie, my main focus on this video will be cancel culture and the negative responses to Gallo's films which ultimately started with Buffalo 66, so i do have a lot more to say on Buffalo 66, I'd rather this video stand as an expression of my love for it and a defence of it than say everything I could've said on some aspects of the movie, mainly there is subtext in the film I did not talk much on but this is something that will be focused on with my video on The Brown Bunny for sure as both movies I think get judged by people who are unable to see the deeper meanings. I go through the whole movie like a summary as it gives me the space to branch off onto my own personal takes, some movies I have more to add than others though. I have a Fight Club video in the works that will serve as a very analytical social commentary as well as an overview on the film. You might like my Taxi Driver video if you haven't checked it out already too. Thanks for the feedback, I'm trying to learn from all the responses I get!
I had a good friend who was a stage actor, I showed him this movie, we both had a blast, and when the movie ends he said something I never forgot: "Now she s going to leave him, because he is no longer the same guy. He s happy."
I watched buffalo 66 probably 4 months ago for the first time in kind of a watch party setting, had no idea what i was getting into or who vincent gallo even was at the time. After a single viewing i would confidently put it in my top 10. I find the dinner table scenes are some of my favorite (along with the “i drive a cadillac” scene) but the dinner table scenes seem to offer so much. The framing, the acting, the flashbacks are edited in such a way that evokes the same feeling as a memory popping in your head that you can’t avoid. There’s so much to the film but so many of the small editing choices really just made me fall in love with this movie.
thank you so much for this video not only is it amazing but it’s also really helped me for my english presentation because i’m doing a character analysis on billy
I came into this movie not knowing a thing about Vincent Gallo, or what this movie is even about so I had no idea what to expect, but I am glad I gave it a chance, it's now one of my faves.
This has a bit of a David Lynch feeling to it. The hugging scene has got to be THE most romantic and moving scenes ever. Its 2024 and my heart still belongs to Layla.
Great review. Went to subscribe as soon as I finished and saw that I was already subscribed after watching the Taxi Driver review. As for the background music I think it is necessary as the clips from the film mostly have no sound, only your narration so the music makes it more cinematic. Anyway, looking forward to the next one.
@@ljb9983 I mean that she is a young high school girl who was kidnapped by an extremely mentally ill man. You have to keep in mind that the film takes place through Billy’s perspective, so it has a dream like quality to it with a likely unreliable narrator. I would think that if the story was told through Laylas perspective alone, the film would be more of a thriller/horror because of how traumatizing this would be for a young girl. And if her reaction through Billy’s perspective was true, that raises more concerns than not; what is her home life like to where she feels an attachment to an older man who has kidnapped her? What is her mental health background.
@@ljb9983 I absolutely loved this film and the dynamic that Billy and Layla shared, but I also have to acknowledge how dysfunctional it was at its core.
@@ljb9983 my previous comment was deleted, but it’s much deeper than Layla being good and helping a mentally ill man. She was a young high school girl who was kidnapped and verbally and physically assaulted. Not to mention that the film takes place through Billy’s perspective and his alone. The dream like quality coupled with an unreliable narrator makes for a warped point of view.
Great breakdown. New subscriber. When you said you grew up shy, I can relate. Once I realize I was poor and I started liking girls it made me feel painfully shy. Lol Strangely enough getting a job waiting tables, helped me break out that. It was great practice talking to anyone. Highly suggested. At least as part time gig. 👍🏽
I watched this movie for the first time yesterday. The 'exaggeration' you spoke of resonated with me - I felt like each character was a caricature of a real person in my life. I'm a Buffalo native and can confirm that Bills fandom is something else, but I like how it was presented in such a way to be a stand-in for any neglectful parental behavior. I also have a friend who mirrors Billy's backstory, which presents as aggressive outbursts, so I felt a sort of predisposed empathy. Side note: after watching + researching the film, I was surprised to read that this movie achieved cult-following status in Japan, and the main characters were the inspiration of one of my favorite video games, Catherine. I suppose that would be due to the prevalence of loneliness/Hikikomori in their society.
@tan89284 just interested in why you relate to her, do you understand why someone like her would accept being kidnapped like that? because people that I know that have seen the film don't seem to believe that that's realistic but I think it is.
I feel you on relating to the main character, as someone from buffalo I really think that it’s an amazing story. Well done on the video this deserves more attention.
I really like your videos, I recently watched taxi driver and I felt the exact same way as you did. I also enjoyed Buffalo 66 and was confused why there were so many people hating it. I think they can’t separate the art from the artist so they don’t even give it a chance
Wow Im surprised you even know about this movie. Billy is the one guy in EVERY movie Ive ever watched, and Ive seen a lot of films, that I could relate to. Im like him in so many ways. This movie felt like a spiritual one without having any spirituality in it. Which is weird. But Im just like Billy with all women in my life, except kidnapping them of course haha 😅 But the fear of love, physical touch and just being weird and mean towards them. I hate myself so much. But this movie has always given me hope.
@@johnsundqvisttt if being authentic is “treating women like Billy” then maybe being a good reliable steady person who can handle themselves both physically, emotionally, and conversationally would be better than being authentically a basket case.
@@nothingnewtome1 Maybe youre right. But to be aware of ones faults, and conscious of ones behaviours is more important to me than to fake it. Cause then all of those behaviours arent fixed. Theyre just ignored, and that will come up in some form or another.
Alright man- I don’t like Vincent Gallo because other people don’t like him, I just don’t like him as a person. He’s an asshole, treats his costars like shit, and him and I grew up with the same type of abuse but he uses it as a way to hurt others. I love Buffalo 66, and I love his character, I don’t like his narcissism as a person. Anyway great video
I love the movie. But it relies on the cheap male fantasy that one woman will show up and fix me. Actually, Billy doesn't need that; there's nothing wrong with being sensitive and emotional. He just can't accept himself, and that's why he becomes a broken shell.
I love this video, watched it after you followed me on Letterboxd. I still remember the feeling when I was first watching Buffalo 66' as if it's made for me, or by me, I couldn't believe it haha I loved every aspect of it and as Vincent Gallo said, who cares if it's self indulgent if it's also good? This is exactly how I experienced the film the first time. Watched it a hundred times. I'd like to add, I love how we don't know much about Layla for it creates mystery but personally I don't see her as a Manic pixie because I relate to her so much trying to give love where it's needed. That's very real. I like how you also pointed out the humor of the film and how it's kinda necessary to connect to wounded parts of ourselves to understand characters like Billy. I think you and I would agree on a lot of things in life based on this review, bravoo!!😄
Thank you! Glad you watched the video and liked the movie for the same reasons as I did. I have seen the movie way too many times, at a time I'd have placed it above any other movie, I decided to stay away from it after making this video though in hopes that it will feel new the next time I watch it lol
And people who say leyla is a manic pixie dream girl have no idea what that term even means. I think her character is simply a representation of the love and care Billy needed to be saved from himself, people who feel she needs a backstory don't just get the movie
This movie is truly incredible, and i relate to it so much being a lonely child myself. When i was a kid i thought my mom was the devil, and my dad was my hero but that's only because i hated being with my mom so badly that when i would finally be able to see my dad it felt like i was saved but in reality he would just do the bare minimum for me and just left me alone at his house while he went out and sold drugs. now as an adult me and my mom have a good relationship because she has showed me time and time again that she was deeply sorry for how she treated me and as for my dad we unfortunately don't talk anymore because we simply are strangers to eachother and he has never seen where he was wrong. And the fucked thing now is that now that i have kids iv realized im just like him and as a matter of fact just like my mom when i was younger as well. "the worst of both worlds" i like to say, and i hate myself for it. so when Billy Brown looks at himself in a mirror with disgust, i feel that way too deeply.
Greatest directorial debut? Ari Aster. Vinnie did hold it for a long time though… Hereditary is a fricken masterpiece. Horror is at its greatest when the film being presented is really another genre…
I’m just asking are you okay yourself , I watched your fight club and taxi driver till the end you talk about relating to these dark films I hope your channel has gave you a community to speak with as your not alone dude , btw I, on my gfs RUclips I ain’t a girl
I'm not sure just yet, I'm going to video on that and Todd Phillips' Joker movies as my next videos, I've been too busy editing a feature film that I made which as well as working 5 days a week takes me away from uploading
I feel like men like this usually deeply traumatize the women they're with when they constantly reject attempts at affection on the latter's part. They never really show that in this which makes Layla not really feel like a multi dimensional/real character with her own motives and capacity for emotional pain and depth - she feels more like a prop for the (unsurprisingly male) protagonist's development
I don’t think any of what you said takes away from the quality and purpose of this movie though. If anything it adds a lot contextually especially with gallos personality
The hatred for Vincent Gallo seemed to be present when I discovered the film in the mid 00s. It was all very vague and nebulous as to why. As usual it can all be traced back to his politics and the reality that he portrayed in his films. Namely his views on women. He's an OG hipster, but couldn't be any more different from most of them, effectively making him what I deem a true hipster.
When writing the script for the video the autocorrect changed it to that, only once is it pronounced like that and I just forgot to go back and change it in the final edit.
@@MansplainingMovies That might explain how the mistake happened, but the fact is you said “Blossum• and didn’t immediately correct yourself. You don’t love the movie as much as you might think, sir.
@@MansplainingMoviesWait … I just rewatched this video twice and scrolled the comments and found mine … This is an AI voice?! That’s insane. Not only did I not realize that-I forgot that you even said it was AI and was in disbelief again … The only reason I’m willing to believe it is cause I don’t hear breathing … Wow.
Glad you liked the video despite preferring a more quiet sound, people seem to have different experiences with the sound, I know on my taxi driver video that a lot of people liked the music being so clear, personally I think it adds more style to my videos too. I do try to keep the volume low so it isn't distracting from the voiceover but it can sound different depending on what device is used to watch the video or what sound settings are set to the device. TVs seem to be the worst device for it
Could only get 2/3's of the way through it before I had to shut it off - just too absurd. It's trashy art. Feels like some weird male fantasy fetish film.
It's just a guy using his art to come to terms with his shitty upbringing. I relate to it. The romantic part of the story is just a vehicle to give the Billy character some kind of growth and catharsis. But really I think the film is about childhood neglect, narcissist parents and adults who are really just traumatized children. It's not really a romance movie
this is "i could fix him" as a movie
Nah for real though
so true.
It’s cool to remember too that Billy planned this day as his last. He thought he was going to kill Scott Wood, and then himself, likely from when we see him out of jail for the first time. But Layla is the goat and fixes him
Man I just recently found your channel and love it. Coincidentally finally watched this movie after being on my list for almost a decade!
Thanks! Glad you're liking the videos! The channel is quite new so I'm lucky to have things grow the way it is growing.
A decade😂 damn what else is on the list?
Layla is an angel, but it does require a bit of suspension of disbelief in trying to figure out how she could love him, especially after being kidnapped by him.

women love a broken man, also look at him physically
You don't know much about women, do you
Because she is lonely too.

Buffalo 66 is one of the greatest pieces of self expression as art I've ever seen.
Layla is like a good fairy that breaks an evil spell on Billy and they live happily ever after.

Wth was that? His father seems like a creep! 🫤
That was improvised by the brilliant Ben Gazzara.
Thanks for the video, it was awesome.
Just finished watching the movie, the ending was beautiful. Layla was a dub.
That he called her fat in this.

@@MansplainingMovies That might explain how the mistake happened, but the fact is you said “Blossum• and didn’t immediately correct yourself. You don’t love the movie as much as you might think, sir.
the voice on this video is AI, it says whatever I write, I just forgot to change it in the edit
@@MansplainingMovies Ah. Gotcha.
@@MansplainingMoviesWait … I just rewatched this video twice and scrolled the comments and found mine … This is an AI voice?! That’s insane. Not only did I not realize that-I forgot that you even said it was AI and was in disbelief again … The only reason I’m willing to believe it is cause I don’t hear breathing … Wow.
wish u could take out the music honestly, great video though!
Glad you liked the video despite preferring a more quiet sound, people seem to have different experiences with the sound, I know on my taxi driver video that a lot of people liked the music being so clear, personally I think it adds more style to my videos too. I do try to keep the volume low so it isn't distracting from the voiceover but it can sound different depending on what device is used to watch the video or what sound settings are set to the device. TVs seem to be the worst device for it
vincent gallo makes me gay
i like your videos but the audio you put is really annoying lol
Doesn’t bother me at all. Makes it feel chill
i could do without the annoying music in the background. very distracting
Lonely girls turn into broken women too yet they go around kidnapping people
The movie is shit with the (its ok when men do it)
Lol what?
lighten up Francis
Could only get 2/3's of the way through it before I had to shut it off - just too absurd. It's trashy art. Feels like some weird male fantasy fetish film.
You should watch show girls
It is a weird male fantasy fetish film
It's just a guy using his art to come to terms with his shitty upbringing. I relate to it.
The romantic part of the story is just a vehicle to give the Billy character some kind of growth and catharsis. But really I think the film is about childhood neglect, narcissist parents and adults who are really just traumatized children. It's not really a romance movie
Awful film
I wish I could find a girl like Layla 🥹
