      I love you and can die for you

      The 1988 play has a distinctly European film style. Simple, straightforward, and unpretentious, just like everything going on around it. Every year, people go missing in every country, and it is almost impossible to solve a case or find someone back.

      Similarly, people who are in love, or newly married people, have you thought about how to live in the future? It is impossible for two people to be together without contradictions and quarrels. When no one gives in, then at least a shadow...

      There will be many disappearances in life

      After breaking up, I knew I would never see her again.

      We have lived together for nearly two years, although we depend on each other, but I am not very good to her.

      I often get angry at her out of control. She makes a sound when she eats and I want to scold, and when she wakes me up, I want to scold. If I am in a bad mood, I want to scold.

      After she left, I began to try to get used to life alone. Before she came, I had been living alone.

      One afternoon I opened the...

      More than 100 minutes of cold jokes

      I insist that the film that makes me almost fall asleep is definitely at most 2 stars.
        

      …Seeing the ending, I found out that it was actually a cold joke ==
       


      This cold joke is: a man’s girlfriend has disappeared for 3 years and is obviously dead. The man is very confused about how the woman died and always inquires. In the end, the murderer felt that this kid was really annoying, so he came out and said to him, so let’s let you and that woman die in the same...

      The fault of vanity

      In this film, I think everything is controlled by the BT people. From beginning to end, whether it is our audience or the hero and heroine, why are we controlled by him? I asked myself, it was because of his conspiracy. I found that in reality, many of us don’t like to think actively and like to accept passively. In the film, the male pig is always passive or unwilling to accept the fact that his girlfriend has disappeared. In the future, he has never been to the gas station, why didn’t he go...

      "Mysterious Disappearance" can't be done with more than 350 words

      The director's narrative technique of first effect and second cause enhances the suspense of the plot, and the way of breaking the timeline also highlights the influence of time on psychology. The murderer's evil thoughts seem to arise in an instant, but it is a reflection of unwillingness to accumulate in a dull family life. The specific implementation has also gone through a long period of exercise, and the thought has become more and more irresistible during the exercise. The man who lost...

      Curiosity about perfection, possibility, ending leads to sin and death, very conservative. The play can end in one sentence at any time, but the exploration of curiosity and the shaping of perfectionists cannot convince me. The strongest is photography, with excellent stability. People are so tiny in the scene that they are caught in the palm of their hands like objects and insects. In fact, the key to crime is really just a palm-sized pattern. The noise in the middle of the night and the fire...

      There are no bloody shots and neurotic soundtracks, no thriller horror film routines, but it tells the most terrifying story! And this horror is so convincing, anyone would make such a terrifying decision like the male...

    Evaluation action

    The film overturned the suspense film's practice of leaving the mystery to the end before revealing it. George Sluizer told the audience everything early on: who is the villain, what he did, and what else to do. In the rest of the time, the director turned his attention to the husband who lost his wife and began to explore his spiritual world. Compared with the pursuit of truth and the setting of suspense, the audiovisual language of...

    Movie quotes

    • Raymond Lemorne: My daughter was bursting with pride. But I thought that her admiration wasn't worth anything unless I could prove myself absolutely incapable of doing anything evil. And as black cannot exist without white, I logically conceived the most horrible deed that I could envision right at that moment. But I want you to know, for me killing is not the worst thing.

    • Rex Hofman: Sometimes I imagine she's alive. Somewhere far away. She's very happy. And then, I have to make a choice. Either I let her go on living and never know, or I let her die and find out what happened. So... I let her die.

    • Raymond Lemorne: You start with an idea in your head, and you take a step... then a second... Soon, you realize you're up to your neck in something intense, but that doesn't matter. You keep at it for the sheer pleasure of it. For the pure satisfaction it might bring you.
