I saw on Weibo that someone was recommending this film and watched him as a romance film at first. After watching it, another film "American Beauty" popped into my mind immediately. In fact, Americans are the most fussy about the middle class. Over the years, they have dug up and dug up the hypocrisy, weakness, emptiness and other root causes of the American middle class. We all know the ending of Lester in the film American Beauty. He wants to pursue it. What he really wants, he can be himself calmly, but the class he belongs to will not allow him to do so. A highly developed modern society has its own social rules and spiritual support. Clears without leaving a trace.
But when it comes to "Broken Life", it's very interesting. Davis has the same passion with his wife, and his life is stagnant. After the sudden accident of his wife's death in a car accident, people's instinct is to reflect. During this process, he kept writing letters to the vending machine company to vent, dismantling all kinds of things just to see the internal principle, and even to act as a With the help of demolition workers, I finally demolished my duplex villa. When it was all over he turned back to his father-in-law and said "I think I did love her". If you want to build some new models, you can only destroy the old ones first. In the process, davis also completes his rebellion against the past and starts a new life without moving forward. But the difference between this film and American Beauty is that it seems that society has become more tolerant after more than ten years of development. The focus of the film is no longer the destruction caused by this violent friction between rebellion and society, but has become rebellion This behavior itself or emphasizes this interesting process of self-exploration. There are twists and turns in the middle, but in general, the rebellion is successfully completed. I think this does reflect a kind of progress.
