Authoritarian, diary, concealment, purge... These words come from the Palme d'Or film "The Great Disappearance" made decades ago, but it still sounds so magical realism now. The perspective of the whole film is peculiar. With an elderly father and a female character, people have become screws in front of the state machine, and this entry point further highlights this sense of insignificance and powerlessness. And this film is definitely the most gentle film of Garvas. It looks at the massacre...

All the thrilling scenes in "The Great Missing" have nothing to do with the two protagonists. A libertarian young woman and a conservative father, these two your everyday americans, who are too flat to be flat, work together to find a missing young man, while Chile's tragic political situation turns into a tragedy. Yes, no one cares about the countless bloodshed incidents in the streets and alleys, but an American would be killed with the acquiescence of the US authorities, how dare you! Such...

I always thought Jack Lemmon looked like a kind version of Henry Fonda. The American tradition of "democracy, freedom and human rights is paramount" is not a day or two in the internal affairs of other countries. Even casually sacrificing a few of its own people is not a big problem. It's just that the people who are killed are too miserable. for political...

I like the depression and horror of the overall political and chaotic urban atmosphere, and the scene restoration mode in the interlude narrative is a bit abrupt and dramatic. However, the film's hazy unknown to the truth is the most terrifying of the film. People buried in the walls and corpses on the streets seem to be considered so-called normal,...

The father-son relationship is well described, very touching. I don't know much about politics, but I can see the...

2012 marks 1-16. Forgot why. When I watched this film, I was thinking, if it were Beijing that year, it would seem to happen too. Father looking for son. Scenes - status, like long-shot mise-en-scene. A profound attack on the American capitalist system. Serious, but rather slow-paced.

The director's transformation from his father to reveal the conspiracy seems relatively smooth. Although it seems to be unveiling the dark curtain layer by layer, it is too powerless and not very involved in the drama. Quan should understand this...

Father and son
Costa Garvas is good at making political thrillers, I don't watch much. But "missing" is not mainly about politics, the fact is about family affection.
The relationship between a father and son is told in the suspenseful story. In fact, the character of the son has disappeared at the beginning of... -

Missing
It just so happened that I was listening to the little prince recently. Only by looking carefully can we see the truth of things, the most important truth that is invisible to the naked eye. The scene of missing is very calm. The opening sentence is very classic. It comes from the real story...

U.S. Ambassador: We're not involved, Mr Horman. Our position has been completely neutral.
Ed Horman: That is a bald face lie, sir. How can you say a thing like that when you have army colonels, you have naval engineers, they're all over Viña Del Mar!
U.S. Ambassador: Please sit down. Look, it's very obvious you're harbouring some misconception regarding our role here.
Ed Horman: What is your role here? Besides inducing a regime that murders thousands of human beings?
U.S. Ambassador: Let's level with each other, sir. If you hadn't been personally involved in this unfortunate incident, you'd be sitting at home complacent and more or less oblivious to all of this. This mission is pledged to protect American interests, our interests.
Ed Horman: Well, they're not mine.
U.S. Ambassador: There are over three thousand US firms doing business down here. And those are American interests. In other words, your interests. I am concerned with the preservation of a way of life.
Capt. Ray Tower, USN: And a damned good one.
Ed Horman: [Staring out the window] Maybe that's why there's nobody out there.
U.S. Ambassador: You can't have it both ways.

Capt. Ray Tower, USN: I don't know what happened to your kid, Ed. But I understand he was a bit of a snoop. Poked his nose around in a lot of dangerous places where he didn't really belong. Now, suppose I went up to your town, New York, and I started messing around with the Mafia. I wind up dead in the East River. And my wife or my father complains to the police because they didn't protect me. They really wouldn't have much of a case, would they? You play with fire, you get burned.
