He is armed, and he says, "I figured everything out." It triggers a
kind of infernal machine of which he is the prisoner. It ends up
going badly, but he already had figured it might go badly, because
of taking the risk of entering the girl's house, of packing up and
leaving and all that '"
They all have guns in this film. That's where I really see the thing about
American madness. There isn't a single guy who isn't armed. If he
kills the fa ther, it's in self-defense, because the father says to him:
"You entered my house. I'm handing you over to the police for armed
robbery. " It's twenty years; he's got to kill the father.
I'm sorry, I don't agree with you. Let's be precise. He's as crazy at the
beginning as at the end, neither more nor less. Madness coincides with
the schizo journey, with amour fou. From the moment he sees the girl,
a machine of amour fou is triggered. He manages to get fired from his
job. He wants to see her again, but because she tells him, "I don't hang
out with garbage collectors," he comes back with a proper job.
He doesn't improve. He goes to work and his boss tells him, "Youre fired!"
Yes, but-you understand-it's one thing if the general framework
unleashes behaviors of panic, of agony, of typical madness. It's a way
of making clear what is already apparent from the beginning.
Remember how he behaves at the beginning: "You want shoes A
dollar! You want to eat the dead dog Give me a cigarette" He says
this to the guy with whom he picks garbage. Is all this nothing Is it
normal All this is of no consequence. Remember, all of a sudden,
he leaves: "Oh, shit. I've worked enough for today," etc. He is crazy
all the time, if one looks closely. And Holly certainly knows it.
Before agreeing to leave with him, she says to herself: "I love him,
but he's totally crazy! How he treats me, he's weird."
