Demolition, which means destruction and destruction, is translated as broken life in mainland China. Brokenness and destruction are the themes of the whole movie. From beginning to end, the male protagonist's career, marriage, family, and even himself are constantly destroyed. When the male protagonist loses his wife When he passed the tree that was uprooted, he said that his life was full of metaphor, and he was the tree that fell to the ground. However, he suddenly realized in the next second that it was himself who caused all the destruction. He was the storm that destroyed that tree.
Davis was on the phone as soon as he appeared, and his wife, who was driving beside him, told him that the refrigerator had leaked for two months and he still ignored it. He just repeated her words hastily. His wife complained about his absent-mindedness. Knowing that an accident suddenly came in the next second, the surprise at that moment was the biggest expression of the male protagonist in the first half of the episode.
In the hospital, he learned of his wife's death, and his grief-stricken father-in-law comforted him. He walked to the operating table and stared blankly at the still-dry blood left by his wife on the ground. What should he react? He just felt hungry and went to the vending machine to buy a pack of chocolate chips. However, the vending machine broke down. The hospital staff said coldly that it was the business of the vending machine company.
He's an investment banker, and four five-cent coins are nothing to him, yet he writes a long letter of complaint.
In that letter, he began to talk about his confusion. He got up at 5:30 every morning, worked out, took a bath, and went to work. Everything in his life was arranged and developed according to his own needs. He and his wife Julia At a cocktail party, she fell in love with him at first sight, and they had a relationship three hours later. He said she was a kind and good girl, but he felt that he didn't love her. After she died, the whole world was sad for her , but he couldn't cry no matter how hard he tried.
The departure of his wife disrupted his life. Although he still got up at 5:30 every morning, exercised, showered, and went to work, he began to wonder about his own life. So he started frantically wondering how everything worked on the inside, what was most important, as if to find out what went wrong in his life.
He kept tearing down and destroying, with the thrill of breaking a jar. He didn't like his home, where everything that seemed gorgeous was destroyed and only ridiculous fragments were left, just like his previous life. : Gorgeous, successful, happy, but in fact he doesn't even know that the refrigerator is leaking.
He met Kate, a single mom who smokes marijuana. They didn't know each other, but because she happened to be the customer service representative for the vending machine. She saw his letter and couldn't help calling him at two in the morning. There were many people around him who wanted to solve him, but he refused. He just wanted to tell Kate his truest thoughts, because in front of her he felt that he had temporarily jumped out of his messy life.
He saw his wife many times, as if she hadn't left. He thought he didn't love her, but he would always think of her. After she left, he looked at the little notes she left for him - he never Their existence has not been found.
He went to the construction site just to demolish the house, even at the expense of paying for it. That night when he took a bath, he seemed to see his wife, and she disappeared in the mirror. His chin was trembling, the water fell from his head, and the water droplets hung on his eyebrows and eyelashes. It was not clear whether he was crying, but he should regret it.
He went to the hospital for an examination and said that he had been numb for more than ten years. He imagined that the doctor pointed to the X-ray and told him that half of his heart had been eaten up by gypsy moths, just like the bushes in front of his door. The dots are parasitized by gypsy moths, and the leaves are eaten bit by bit.
He tried to feel everything he had never felt before, and said what he wanted to say for the first time; wearing headphones to drown himself in music, dancing and swinging on the street; feeling the pain of nails digging into his feet, the pain Being able to remind him that he still has a sense of life, and being able to shout out aloud, really fucking hurts!
When he destroyed his home, he discovered his wife's secret. It turned out that she had betrayed him and she was pregnant with someone else's child. He had never discovered this secret, did she really love him?
He felt angry, disappointed, as if his guilt had long been mocked by her, so he tore his face in public at a scholarship ceremony in her name hosted by his father-in-law, and went back to Kate only to be Kate's boyfriend found his letter and was beaten.
He was standing in front of his wife's gravestone, a cold, four-foot square. A bunch of flowers quietly put down, he raised his head in amazement, subconsciously thinking that the man was his wife's secret lover, it turned out that he was just the driver who caused the traffic accident that day, he looked at the driver crying, and he forgave him. Returning to the car in a daze, he found a bunch of crumpled notes. It was his wife's handwriting, and there was a small smile on the signature:
If it's rainy, you won't see me, if it's sunny, you will think of me.
what else?
The note in the refrigerator, the note in the pen case, her last message on the landline, the Seahorse spoon on their first date, the sign she held when picking up the plane - Mr.Seahorse captain
It turned out that she loved him, it turned out that he had always loved her, but the gradual numbness made him ignore the love between them - her love for him, his love for her.
Finally, he repaired the merry-go-round that had been abandoned for many years. He stood by and smiled at the people who sat on it, including children, adults, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law. They were all smiling. The wife sat on it, and she hugged him from behind, the ring on her hand, against his chest.
The heart in the chest that was eaten by the gypsy moth was finally perfect again.
