If you want to fix something, you have to learn to take it apart

Davies's successful, regular, and high-efficiency life made him ignore many beautiful details in life, blocked his curiosity about things, and ignored some ideas in his mind. The price of all this seemingly superior life is hiding your true self. The unexpected death of his wife did not bring him any grief. He tried to look in the mirror with a sad expression, even suspecting that something was wrong with his conscience. In a completely disrupted life afterwards, he dismantled everything that went wrong, including paying the demolition workers to smash walls, and finally smashed his own house. During this period, the details of the time with his wife continued to appear in Davis' mind, and he also dismantled the entire married life in the process of unconsciousness. It turned out that there were problems on both sides in the seemingly peaceful marriage. Indifferent, his wife's secret affair was miscarried, until Davis finally came to his wife's grave, and the memories began to reorganize. Those touching moments that he had not noticed or forgotten emerged one after another, and at that moment he finally burst into tears. He discovers that there is still love between him and his wife, and runs to begging his father-in-law, who has lost patience with him, to do something for his death, repairs it on the merry-go-round with their shared memory, and moves to the beach. In the film, Davis wears headphones and listens to music and dances freely on the pedestrian streets, follow your heart, be yourself.

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.
