fuck you, life

I don't know how to do it. The director deeply put so many broken scenes together, but they really connected into a Davis emotional line. Painful, confused, crazy, all the things that his facial expressions couldn't show, all the fragments about Julia, the memories embedded in his brain, smiles, hugs, her eyes.

In the film, Davis says "Fuck is a great word", but too much fuck in a sentence loses its essence. Davis, just got fucked by life once and it all fell apart. He felt that he didn't love Julia, and went to work the next day as usual, and no one confided his feelings. He had to write to the customer service center of the retail machine that put coins in ten minutes after his wife's death but couldn't drop the chocolate chips. In fact, he should care more than anyone else.

I love a scene in Davis' fantasy where he sees a piece of his heart missing, bitten off by a European moth. It seemed to project that he was never distracted, never really caring about anything at home in front of Julia.

Life is too short to grasp. I don't care there is no reason, wanting to live a simpler life is the most difficult mode. If you don't mind, use your brain and think that the people around you will disappear in the next second. If you are the next person to be fucked by life, how can you scold "fuck you, life" instead?

When I lost you, my life was broken.

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.

    Chris: Who the f...
