Buffalo 66, a movie directed and written by Vincent Gallo starts with a baby picture of Billie Brown (played by Vincent Gallo himself), and then goes into shots of Billie getting out of prison. Billie the fresh free man is looking for a bathroom but has no luck in finding one. The shots used in the scenes where hes on the search for a bathroom are some handy shots (a bit shaky), they cut in the middle and they are also shot from above this is, in my opinion to emphasize on the situation Billie is in. He really needs to go to the bathroom but has no fortune, until he enters a dance studio. There he meets Layla (played by Christina Ricci) a young blond girl that simply wanted some dance lessons. Billie asked her for a quarter to call his mother, and then suddenly decided to kidnap her. The reason for that was that he didnt want to disappoint his parents, his parents thought he was successful and married. After all this Billie didnt find a bathroom yet until they drove off to his house. In the scene where he finally pees, there is a close up shot of Billies face, to show the audience his reaction. He enters the car, and he is more calm he apologizes to Layla for being so aggressive, while hes apologizing to her there is a close up shot of her and his voice in the background, this emphasizes on Laylas reaction. During the drive back to Billies home theres alot of shots of the neighborhood, in my opinion this is to enlighten the audience on the type of surrounding Billie grew up in, this helps in understanding his character. Billy and Layla finally arrive to his house, in front of the house theres a huge sign: Go Buffalo this is a clue on the environment Billie lived in at home. It is obvious his parents are huge football fans by the decoration of the house. Layla get in the character of being Billys wife, she makes up a story that Billy works for the CIA and that she really adores him. The next scene shows us three of the characte...
