Plot "Before I Disappear" Movie Commentary Copy
The man lies in a bathtub full of blood stained red.
Waiting for death to come.
Because yesterday
a woman
died in the toilet of the bar where he works.
It reminded him of his dead girlfriend.
Alone, Richie decided to "go home" to her.
He writes a letter to his girlfriend.
Richie lies in the bathtub and slashes his wrist.
While waiting for death to knock on his door.
The phone rings
From his sister, whom he hadn't talked to in years.
She had something to do.
Wanted Richie to pick up his daughter from school.
Seeing that Ritchie was not talking
Sister arrogantly begged him over the phone
It was the first time his sister had asked him to help
Or he wanted to leave.
Doing one last good deed.
So he agreed
After removing the blood
Simply bandage the wound.
Take away the letter to his girlfriend
This was the first time Richie saw the grown-up Sophia
But when they first met, they
didn't seem too friendly.
(I have gymnastics rehearsal in 27 minutes.
If you don't arrive in time
there will be serious consequences.
After that, you escort me home.
I have an exam tomorrow and I have to be home by 7:00
to make sure I can study properly.
(There will be serious consequences if I don't get home on time at 7:00)
Ricky tried to talk to his niece
But Sofia seemed very reluctant to talk to him.
Gymnastics practice is over.
Took the subway home.
She didn't say a word.
When he got home.
Sofia turned Ritchie away from the door
Leaving Ritchie
He went upstairs without looking back.
Her niece's indifferent attitude
made Richie's mood even worse.
Richie is still determined to carry out his plan.
This time
In order not to make his death look too bad
He chose the milder way
Take a sleeping pill
The phone rang again.
It was Sofia calling
She said her mother hadn't come home yet.
The kind-hearted Richie didn't say a word.
Immediately set off for his sister's house
When she arrived home
Richie called the pharmacy
Asking why the medicine hadn't worked.
The person on the other end told Richie
that he had taken the wrong one
He was given the wrong medication for menopause.
This caused Richie to have a menopause attack right then and there
Smashed the phone to pieces
At the door
Richie chases away the strange woman at his door
Meeting again
The niece was still aloof.
（"She didn't call back or anything.)
（"Has she ever been this late?)
（"Never.)
（"Maybe... maybe she... I don't know...)
（"She went out with her friends after work)
（"or go for a drink or something)
（"She doesn't never do that.)
（"Is it impossible?)
（"No, it's not possible.)
（"He never hangs out with his friends and never comes home late.)
（"She never lets me stay out late. She never drinks.)
（"She never smokes. She never keeps people like you.)
(to take care of me)
Ritchie saw a painting on the wall
complimenting Sophia as another art in the house
It made Richie think of
There was a character in it named Sophia too.
My sister was very fond of this character at that time
I don't know if that was the reason
That's why she gave her niece the name
But the niece told Richie
She didn't talk about you.
The sister called.
She complained that he left Sofia alone.
She was angry.
Sofia was the one who turned him away.
And from the beginning to the end.
His own niece never gave him a good look
And when she learned that a strange woman
Tried to open the door of her house
She was shocked.
told Richie to take Sofia to his house.
Hang up the phone.
The two of them packed their things
Richie took Sofia
Came to the bowling alley where he works
Sofia says she doesn't bowl
Takes out his homework and starts writing
Richie tells him
If she doesn't like it, she can still do whatever she likes
And asked him
Don't you ever want to have fun and relax?
Gymnastics is fun.
Gymnastics is good.
But when you do a three-week backflip, you can call it whatever you want.
Your face is like an assassin.
While they're talking.
Someone comes over and tells Richie.
The bowling boss.
Gideon asked him
If he had gone to work at the bar yesterday
Did he see his girlfriend there
Richie took the picture.
Found out that it was the girl who died yesterday
Richie had promised the bar owner
Will keep this a secret
Did not say anything
And left.
Back to Sofia.
Richie saw a man from the bowling ball
Sneaking something out of the bowling ball.
Told Sofia
To go around the corner to get something
Richie is a drug addict.
He took Sofia
To an eerie place
He went inside to get something.
Leaving Sofia outside.
Sofia thought Richie had spent all his money.
Crying, she ran out and wanted to go home.
Richie came out after her
Explained that it was his old place
Just went in to get his hands on a book
He hadn't spent all her money.
Would you like to read one?
She was killed by an arrow.
Yeah, yeah, see? It's like Bugs Bunny.
See? She died, right? But then she came back to life.
Sofia asked Richie a lot of questions.
But for Richie, these questions...
It gave him a headache.
Sofia also asked Richie
Why don't the two siblings communicate anymore?
Your mother and I grew up in an unhealthy home.
I guess she didn't want you to grow up in the same environment.
But I was a part of that environment.
... I became a bad person
And that's when
Sofia's favorite song came on the radio.
She danced to the song.
Richie looked at everyone here in amazement
They were all dancing to the music
Only he didn't fit into the world
Sofia came over and pulled Richie
And asked him to dance with her
Sofia accidentally pushed harder
hurt Rich's cut wrist
And that's when
Richie realized that everything was just an illusion
Sofia took Richie to get stitches.
Just outside.
Richie fainted from weakness.
Sofia rushed to the pharmacy
To buy medicine for Richie to dress his wounds
I know you're down, Richie.
But there are a lot of people worse off than you, okay?
You're better than a lot of people.
At least you don't say I shouldn't exist.
Ah who said you shouldn't exist?
Dad, Dad, Darren.
Sophia's father.
How dare he call her the product of a failed abortion
Take Sofia to a man
Hearing that
Ricky was instantly angry
Took Sofia to him
And beat him up pretty good.
（"Darren, I don't know what I'm living for.
But I swear...
... I swear to God...
... If you say some more
More nonsense to my sister and her children
I will live.
(I will live to make your life miserable)
On the subway ride back, the two men who had accepted each other
They fell asleep on each other's shoulders.
Richie drops Sophia off at home.
Before going to sleep
Sofia tells Richie
When he wasn't looking
Read the letter he wrote to his girlfriend
And that
The reason he kept re-writing to his girlfriend
He didn't write the most important words
(You forgot to tell her you love her
That's why you failed)
Ricky waiting for his sister to come home
Security guards used security footage
Security guards used security footage to determine that Richie had smashed the phone downstairs.
Ricky's sister came back and brought him up.
Sophia said good night to her mom.
And hugged Richie to go back to bed
Seeing Sophia's reaction.
The sister taunted Richie for spending the night
To become a good person in front of Sofia.
She gave Richie money as usual.
But this time Richie didn't ask for it.
Through his sister's complaints.
Richie realized
That she didn't want her friend
to see her embarrassment.
That's why he called Richie to help
Although he was miserable at his sister's place.
But he always remembered.
Being bullied himself as a child.
Sister helped give the bully a lesson.
She was so cool then.
Although everything has changed now
But Richie thinks his sister is still the same as before.
Said and walked away
After so much in one day.
Couldn't stop Richie from leaving
He lay in the tub again.
Unwraps the bandages.
The phone rang again.
Richie unplugged the line.
Thought it over.
Picked up the phone anyway.
Sister invited him to dinner on Friday.
And said not to let Sofia down.
Richie burned the letter he wrote to his girlfriend.
Re-wrote a new letter to his girlfriend.
Dear Vesta
I love you ....
