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.

The Vanishing 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.
