Personally, I like this narrative method very much. The three different time clues are intertwined with each other, and the processing is relatively in place. The three important stages of Sidney Hall's life are vividly and vividly displayed. The content is also relatively compact, and the style of lens processing is my favorite feel. Sidney Hall believed that he killed Brett Newport all his life, because his mother burned a videotape of Brett Newport to expose his father's crimes, leading to Brett Newport's suicide. He thinks that Brett Newport's death would not have been caused by his own mistakes, so he thinks that he indirectly killed him, and his life will not be able to get out of the shadow of this incident. Hall has a very high literary talent. He wrote Brett Newport's suicide into a novel on the advice of his girlfriend Melody---(This is also something I don't understand, why should it be a problem for his life? How about writing a novel about something with huge negative impact? Shouldn't it be a way to forget it?) Hall became instantly famous for this novel, but his work also developed a tragedy (like Brett Newport, which led to the suicide of a reader), he His career was overshadowed, and he fell into deep self-blame. Coupled with the breakup of his relationship with his wife Melody due to cheating, and the death of the love of his life, Melody, this blow broke Hall's last psychological defense. He couldn't continue writing, he started wandering about a dog with the same name as a child he was born with and died with his wife, and he started frantically burning his books in libraries (the one about Brett Newport's suicide Fiction). The scene where Hall finally spoke to his autobiographer about his life in his hospital bed touched me, and he was finally relieved. All in all, yes, I love this movie.

The Vanishing of Sidney Hall quotes

  • Sidney Hall: Gloria... she had a virginal quality that contrasted with her ice cool outer shell... yeah, she was a bitch, for sure... Her breasts, her cheekbones, her legs; she saw that in the mirror every morning and was well aware of the power they held over men. No one could touch her or intimidate her. I once saw Brad Dorsey, the captain of the soccer team, crying by his locker. She had dumped him after one date and took his balls with her. From that day forward he never played sports again.

  • Sidney Hall: Once Melody left me, it dawned on me, looking out at all of those wonderful city lights, that I was just one of those millions of city lights, a tiny little pixel, buried within the white noise of life, blinking on for just a brief second in time.
