Just for the last cup of coffee

Watch the movie again and again to comment. The first half of the movie is really boring, until the middle-aged uncle's confession, absurd coffee. But after reading it, I couldn't let go of it. Why did the hero drink that cup of coffee? After thinking about it carefully, I realized that the boring part of the film is just a step-by-step pavement, all for the cup of coffee. It can be said that the first half of the film tells us the reason for drinking that cup of coffee from different angles. From the point of view of the male protagonist, he has a weird personality. At the beginning, he only had a quarrel with his girlfriend and left his girlfriend for the whole night. Then he quarreled with his current girlfriend and suddenly roared. His character has an element of perseverance and "writing". Secondly, there is a pimple in his heart, because he abandoned his girlfriend the day before the incident, and then disappeared the next day, whether it was his girlfriend who voluntarily abandoned him, or something accident happened. These two possibilities caused him to lean towards the former. This made him "curiosity", "Which one is it?" This curiosity has increased over time. 再说中年大叔,到结局之前中年大叔给人的形象是普通,有普通的家庭,弱, 被男主暴揍也不还手,爱唠嗑, 聊自己童年历程, 怎么看都不像是一个会Murderer. Before taking out the coffee, he kept lowering the male protagonist's line of defense against him, making the male protagonist believe that he was not a dangerous person, and the middle-aged uncle just stunned his girlfriend. As for something crazier? Totally impossible. Under the dual effects of this, the male protagonist's stubborn and "author" character, with curiosity and misjudgment of the middle-aged uncle, led to tragedy. And seeing the ending, we know that there is a crazy side hidden under the calm appearance of the middle-aged uncle. A person who pretends to be weak, a dog that doesn't bark.

    It’s okay if I don’t want to, the more I think about it, the more terrifying

    Quite anti-routine, the cutting angle is also very unique, and the method of creating suspense is so clever that when you see the end, you feel that you have been mocked and insulted, but you have to admire this design. It is a high-light one-man show of a perverted villain with anti-social obsessive-compulsive disorder, measuring heart rate, calculating time, and practicing foreign languages. Once an evil idea is born in such a person's mind, he will think about it day and night to realize it. Comparing his career as a chemistry teacher with the image of a good husband and father, you can see many references to this image in later works. The story of the disappearance of the wife of a foreign tourist couple is also an enduring urban legend. There are countless variants of stories from China alone to Thailand. The most criticized character in the whole film is also the character of the husband, who is superstitious about fate and can be bullied by weakness. PS: The second girl has a good temperament, it's so beautiful. PPS: The scenery in France is really good, and the village is like an oil painting.

The Vanishing quotes

  • 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.

  • Saskia Wagter: My nightmare. I had it again last night.

    Rex Hofman: That you're inside a golden egg and you can't get out, and you float all alone through space forever.

    Saskia Wagter: Yes, the loneliness is unbearable.

    [pause]

    Saskia Wagter: No. This time there was another golden egg flying through space. And if we were to collide, it'd all be over.
