Gallo is a true visionary. He really cares about art and aesthetics. His intelligence radiates in this clip. He can quickly sees off the flippant comments with a distinct point of view. Ultimately, he was right about the status of the film which still grows to this day. This clip was from the 90s but it is almost omniscient in predicting the future of cinema, where the privileging of ideology over aesthetics rules and criticism/journalism is reduced to rubble. As an aside, his ability to argue without being rude should be celebrated and overall I think he charms the panel. Something quite humorous about his USA tracksuit as well. With Vincent, everything is calculated.

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

@@nnywasneverhere Hopeless people should kill themselves?

[@nnywasneverhere]

@@TheKitchenerLeslie Of course not, you missed the point. The mentally ill should seek out professional help from psychologists and therapists, not normal people who aren't capable of curing anyone's depression. Billy didn't have any emotional support in his life until after he met Leyla. What makes me uncomfortable was the film trying to convey to people that a submissive, patient lover will withstand your abuse because they're in "love" with you. I understand Billy's temperament because of his anger and ache, what I don't understand is that the director decided to make Leyla fall in love with someone who has been treating her like trash throughout the entire film. It just screams Stockholm syndrome to me and I'm not sure if that's a healthy message to end the film by. Beyond the credits, how do we know for sure that Billy's childhood abuse complexities won't show up as violent outbursts against Leyla as we have observed in the film won't reoccur again? Will Leyla ever get cured from Stockholm syndrome and fall in love for who Billy really is? Or will she fall out of love? And most importantly, are people asking these questions, or do they genuinely believe that the film ended in a positive note?

[@kbamtv3967]

As a film dude who fondly remembers Bufallo 66 as one of my formative indie film watching experiences, my perspective of the movie shifted quite a bit between the ages of 20 and 30. It still stands as artistically honest and entertaining story. But the entire romance is fantasy wish fulfillment for lonely young dudes in search of love and companionship without the self reflection and sacrifice that it entails. That probably was Vincent's honest perspective at the time that he wrote the film. His response to the female critic raising flags with that storyline feels like textbook projection really. The hero of the story does very little to earn the love of his captive. Things can play out that way in real life, but they're usually rooted in Stockholm syndrome or some sort of situation where the captive is reliving past trauma and therefore going along with it. The fantasy is that he's quirky, charming, honest and rebellious enough to be loved in spite of his criminal abduction. And he's got every right to tell that story, but it's a very ego soothing male fantasy. If the story had delved more into her perspective and demonstrated some sort of prosperous story arc for Christina Ricci's character, then I think the criticism would have less merit. I do wish Gallo would make more films, but ultimately I think he's just too sensitive to the critics and social media chatter to endure this process any further. A filmmaker who is secure in their art really wouldn't give these people the time of day, let alone feel the need to explain their work like this.

"the room had been destroyed by fire" Similar: ruin (someone) emotionally or spiritually. "he has been determined to destroy her" defeat (someone) utterly. I don't think the critic gave up their profession, lost her confidence, job or career status after this interview. I think the term destroy is rarely appropriate in these situations, often misused as youtube click bait. But if winning one debate point is your minimal standard, he still didn't decisively outwit her here. By high level debate competition rules, if you employ logical fallacies, you usually aren't considered to have won in a debate. Doing a personal attack vs attacking the facts of the argument is considered an Ad Hominem attack, which is not a valid argument. For him to win this particular point, he should have made a factual argument for why the critic was off base, citing events from the film, and explaining the psychology of the female character and male lead. Instead he resorts to accusing the critic of having her own psychological issues without explaining in any way how she is incorrect.

At worst she had one talking point debunked, but I don't even see that happening here. Gallo doesn't analyze her argument and counter it with any examples from the movie to counteract her. He doesn't mention any backstory dialogue, action, or even unspoken emotions from the female lead character or his own, that would negate that specific critique of the film. If you simply say, "well that person has some sort of psychological hang ups or mental deficiencies that make them interpret the film incorrectly", without laying out a real case for the filmmakers own position, then they are engaging in a logical fallacy called an ad hominem, where you attack the person and don't attack their logical points. In academic and professional debate circles, these arguments are considered invalid. To win a debate you have to honestly attack the facts at hand and make a logical counterargument.

[@nicknewman7848]

Ok, here's my 2024 review.. All the main characters in this film are caricatures and cliches with the exception of Layla, possibly because she is played brilliantly by Christina Ricci, who is given almost nothing to do (other than react to Gallo's characters neurosis) but is still a completely mesmerising presence. If she was supposed to be an angel then she did her job exceptionally. With a less skilled actress this film would be very different. The impression I now get of this project is that the characters are all seemingly there to support the protagonists expression of pain and self loathing and therefore to support Gallo as the 'star' of the show. It's ironic considering how he says he hates all that "hollywood leading man, indulgent, power and control shit" and could presumably spout on about it for days while questioning my sexuality and political allegiances. We're left with no real depth for the viewer though, other than the basic human emotions of being able to relate to rejection, humiliation and needing to pee... really bad. It's a movie about a guy brought up by shitty parents in a shithole town who is overly sensitive, neurotic, self obsessed, sexually repressed, painfully conservative and who controls a young woman until she implausibly falls in love with him. I don't think you need Freud to do the analysis on that one. Yeah, Gallo is good in it, he's dressed like a 90's Vogue heroin-chic model, the cast is interesting, the music is good in places, it's artistic in its choices with the cinematography while remaining a bit raw and 'cool' (his word not mine), it has a great look, has some funny moments and when I was 18 I thought it was one of the best films ever. 25 years later and it strikes me as a solid independent film with a few very beautiful moments but it unfortunately has an incredibly immature premise that could have only been written by a ego-maniacal man who both loves and hates himself a little bit too much. He completely missed the opportunity to write one of the great moments of dark humour and be a genuine rebel though. His character is reborn with love at the end of the film and when I see him run across that highway smiling.. I'm genuinely willing for him to be flattened by a truck. She is then left waiting in the motel room with no hot chocolate and they both have a tragic ending.. instead we get a sentimental ending which was ironically the most commercial choice he could have made.

You walk into a room, bottle of whiskey in hand, to meet Vincent Gallio, and you think to yourself, this is either going to be one of the best days of my life or one of the worst, and you white claw that life jacket.

[@f4ust85]

No, not really. You didnt like my film because youre probably bored with cinema? Ok.

[@asherwilkins465]

While this post introduced me to Vincent Gallo as a director, I'm pretty sure this is a AI post. It's interesting how Gallo doesn't destroy critics, but the description only says "Vincent Gallo rips bad critics to their faces "I hate when I can feel Leftwing politics in movie critics" Which is the one moment of the video that does really well in todays culture for audience response.

[@GODLETMEWINAMEN]

Love Vince Gallo,just don't make the mistake of giving him a SHIFTER CAR 🚗🤔🤣‼️

One of THE best discussions and debates ive seen with no-one looking to steal the win. Just "i disagree with you" and "thats fine, let me explain why i think that is incorrect without shock and screaming". No comment was made here hoping to " go viral".

[@killedbykato]

When he talks about autumn afternoon it provides some interesting insight into his mindset going into the making of the brown bunny.

[@daytripperhd]

from the very beginning of 66 u can tell that his character is emotionally wounded. He can’t even pee like a grown up. Just having to use the bathroom was a big deal. This was a great movie.

He most certainly didn't destroy them.

[@doctorauxiliary]

that's definitely the most I've ever heard mister gallo talk. I really appreciate everything he had to say here. & "buffalo '66" is on my short list of all time favorite films. & not to rain on this little parade, but... then there's "brown bunny." what the fuck happened there?!? I am told that vincent has never been a drug user. so I'll take that as gospel & assume that's not what went wrong with "brown bunny." but when I heard him & one of these three critics riff, quickly, on how a bad & self-indulgent film is... "much worse," well... I couldn't think of a better living example of that fact than "brown bunny" itself. strange, eh? I don't really mean this as an actual criticism of vincent gallo as an artist. I'd actually like for him to make another movie. & I love his album "when." I think it's fantastic!! but I'd love to hear other people's thoughts on "brown bunny."

[@radixreuel7631]

GALLO IS LEGEND SPANNING TIME & TAKING NAMES. Not appreciating Buffalo 56 is akin to kicking puppies/kittens.

[@jonRboy]

Maybe he's so ridiculously 'Right-wing' that he's ridiculously hypersensitive to what he perceives to be 'Left-wing' influences. He seems like he has his own agenda, but of course he feels that *his* agenda is neutrality.
