Unbreakable

Coming out of the movie theater and walking on the empty street at midnight, the warm wind of early spring is blowing on my face. I want to be like Davis, immersed in the music of headphones, and no matter what, it seems that I am the only person in the whole world— —So I sang loudly and danced unscrupulously, letting all my emotions come out; I laughed, I cried.

At the beginning of the film, looking at Davis' indifference, I guess it was probably a theme similar to "The Outsider". It wasn't until Davis started to destroy everything and get pleasure from it that I slowly understood that he didn't know how to express and vent his sorrow-true sadness is hard to express; especially when you are in front of others, in an indifferent society, He would always hide unconsciously, even perform, and then suppress the deep sadness, suppressed to the numbness. Davis destroys everything, seeks excitement, resists society, indulges himself, and hopes to be released, but he didn’t realize until the end that none of this was effective. What really allowed him to let go of everything was to reshape the beautiful memory at that moment, so he was in On the beach they love, set up her love carousel. When he finally let go and smiled from the bottom of his heart, he could only smile quietly in the face of the collapse of the building, and then he could race against the children contentedly.

The soundtrack plays a big role in expressing emotions-especially every time the music is played, a period of emotion is brewed, but it stops abruptly. It's this kind of sadness that you almost shed tears, but cut off the music, and even a piece of cold humor, a little bit of sadness that accumulates your sympathy. Until the end, when you see Davis looking at the merry-go-round, looking at the shadow of his wife, and laughing out of relief, your emotions are also released at the end of the movie. At that time, I finally cried and cried so "incisively and vividly".
