Because of a car accident and the death of his wife, Davis' life had to be shattered. Faced with the great changes in life, I can't accept it for a while. I can't let go of my wife's death while thinking about bringing my life back to normal, but I can't express my emotions normally, I can't feel other things in my life, and even more so. There is no one to talk to. He began to talk to strangers who he had voluntarily dropped on his way to work every day, and he kept writing letters about the failure of the vending machine in the hospital to tell the story of his life. It is such a person who cannot express his emotions. In a conversation with his father-in-law, he learned that "when life has undergone major changes, it is like a car with problems. Only by disassembling all the parts can we find the internal problems and put the Replace the bad parts and put them back together, so that it can really get better." So he started dismantling, dismantling anything he could see that was faulty, his father-in-law's lights, his own refrigerator, The coffee machine, the computer, the toilet door, and finally, the so-called dismantling of his marriage was also demolished in his own home. It's easy to disassemble, but difficult to put back together! No matter what Davis does, what he gets is only a temporary catharsis.

At the beginning of the film, Davis seems to be so numb to life, and he just repeats the communication with his wife, thinking that he is responding to the other party. For the passengers who took the initiative to express their goodwill to him every day, he just put on a numb smile. After his wife's death, Davis will have memories of his wife every day. The small details are broken.

Davis finally found out that his wife had been pregnant. His mother-in-law told him that this was not his child and that his daughter had an affair.. ........
At this time, he finally broke free from his numb life, and he finally realized that what he had been unwilling to face was that he owed too much to his wife, and that his wife was with him. The days together were not happy. I only cared about my career and lived in the life I set myself, ignoring the feelings of my wife. The bits and pieces in the memories remind him all the time that his wife once had expectations and love for him, but he has never looked up to it and cherished it.......

Please cherish the view . You are such a precious person, you don't know when he will disappear...............

Demolition quotes

  • Davis: Dear Champion Vending Company: I put five quarters in your machine and proceeded to push B2, which should have given me peanut M&M's. Regrettably, it did not. I found this upsetting, as I was very hungry, and also my wife had died ten minutes earlier.

  • Davis: You must be Chris.

    Chris: You fucking my mom?

    Davis: No, I'm not. We were just sleeping...

    Chris: [interrupts] She's fucking crazy. If you haven't noticed, she's a fucking pothead. She calls it cannabis 'cause it makes her feel like less of a fucking pothead.

    Davis: You say fuck a lot.

    Chris: So?

    Davis: So you're just not using it properly.

    Chris: The fuck does that mean?

    Davis: That's what I mean. Fuck is a great word, but if you use it too much then it just loses its value and you sound stupid.

    Chris: Fuck you.

    Davis: Exactly. I feel nothing and you sound like an idiot. Have a good one.
