Buffalo 66

Have you ever notice how kids can watch disney movies loop on end, again and again and again? Buffalo 66 is my disney movie. I can watch it over and over again, in spanish, in french, and sometimes english. It's a twisted love story between a degenerate man imprisoned for losing a bet, and a tap dancer in a short blue teddy. What I believe makes this movie extraordinarily different and beautiful, is the different stages of human emotion displayed throughout the film. The director has a very creative and artistic eye for portraying human torment, hate, and in the end, love.

It's not typical of a "blockbuster" film to show such complexity. I assume that the general american public doesn't posses the attention span nor the care to follow the feeble and weak character played by the director himself. In this type of movie, the weird scronny guy that's super uncool, is the main character. The film goes on to explain why he is internally unhappy with himself and why he treats his kidnapped tap dancer so badly. But despite all the harrassment and kidnapping, the tap dancer is able to see past his social awkawardness and begins to develop a romantic relationship with him.

Throughout the movie, Vincent gallo's character has a plot for revenge. He wanted to seek revenge from the man whom was responsible for losing the football game in which he bet $10,000 he didn't have. So in turn for his fradulent bet, the men had billy do their prison sentence in exchange for his debt. The whole movie Billy is attemtping to track down all the mobsters and the football player that had a hand in his imprisonment. He planned to kill them all and dissappear. But after he met Layla the tap dancer, his lust for revenge began to dwindle. In the end she talks him out of it and instead they stay in their hotel room cuddled in each others arms, and simply enjoy the silence.
