I watched this movie after being poisoned by Sir Weibo Amway, and I downloaded it purely for the purpose of finding an outlet for myself from this movie.
At the beginning of the story, the female protagonist is driving the car and thinking about the male protagonist, and she is a little dissatisfied with her life, but in the eyes of the male protagonist, these are insignificant. As the female protagonist said, he does not "pay attention", and he thinks "not my chair" , not my problem". Then there is a car accident, the heroine dies and the hero survives. The scary thing is that the male protagonist can't even feel the sadness, but he obviously becomes out of state. At work and in life, he gradually began to do some neurotic things, such as dismantling electrical appliances.

"If you want to deal with a problem, you have to think step by step and then check which link is wrong. It makes you stronger. Repairing a human heart is like repairing a car, just check all the parts, Then you can put them back together again." The

male protagonist has to take the subway to and from work, and he met the man he initially disliked on the subway for five consecutive years. On this day, he finally decided to confess that he was actually engaged in finance. not mattresses sold. The other party did not believe him, and began to brag. The male protagonist said frankly, "I don't love my wife." The man asked why did you get married? The male protagonist was stunned and suddenly pulled down the emergency stop lever of the subway. He didn't know why he did this himself, but when the police came to question him, he replied that "the situation was considered urgent at the time".
It seems like everything is getting worse.
The male protagonist ran into the customer service on the subway who responded to his complaints about electrical appliances. They had the following conversation:

"Then why did you marry her?"
"I don't know. Maybe because getting married seems easy."

Getting married seems easy. In the eyes of the male protagonist, when they met their wives at a party, they promised forever, wearing a wedding ring, being nurtured by the wife's father, doing well-paid jobs with ease, having a family and house that everyone envied, But more and more ignoring the surrounding details. At the end of the film, after destroying and dismantling machines, learning about broken families, playing music and shooting with the gay son of the customer service woman, the male protagonist was finally pierced by a nail on the construction site. It was painful, but the pain taught him what reality was. He slowly got a perception, a perception of real life and feelings.
The male protagonist choked and said, "I'm sincere to Julia. I just didn't pay attention to this before."
Then this is the whole truth.
You ignore real emotions, forget so many good memories when you were together, you didn't notice her cheating, and you didn't even care about her sweet notes. In other words, you are numb and have no time to take care of your surroundings, let alone examine your heart.
At the beginning of the film, the male protagonist was expressionless when he saw the female protagonist's note, but at the end, the male protagonist cried loudly while holding the note in the driver's seat. The wake-up time has been changed from 5.30 to 7.30, the morning run has changed from a treadmill to a park, and the bedside photo has changed from my own to my wife's. Although all the changes are too late for the old people, but life is flowing, and the most important thing in life is the details.
In fact, everyone has a time of numbness, and time has passed. Maybe, it takes so long to adjust the work and rest, to relax, instead of doing a work machine day after day, short sleep and mechanical fitness. The more important thing in life is to enjoy and be close to nature. Maybe this will make life more real, not broken.

    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.
