I swiped it without subtitles last night. Except for the male lead, I feel a little familiar, the plot is very strange, and I feel that being rich is self-willed. After reading some English comments, the comments were overwhelming, and it felt like a phenomenal movie. Today I swiped it with English subtitles and read some Chinese movie reviews. I feel good that I didn’t miss it. This is a violent healing movie, you deserve it.

Davis, a young and promising financial company executive, works for his father-in-law's company. His life was very regular, and he lived with his wife harmlessly for five years. While out driving with his wife Julia, Julia was killed in a car accident. After finishing the matters, he continued his current work and life according to the original schedule. When chatting on the daily train, he suddenly felt that he did not love his wife, because he was not sad about her passing, and his intuition made him instantly pull. Get off the brakes of the train and start a broken life.

Because he encountered a vending machine stuck in the hospital, he was lonely and persistently wrote a letter to complain, just like writing a blog, he wrote his life thoroughly, never expected to meet Karan, his spiritual partner. She started calling late at night, and he kept writing a mood diary to her. The two wandering souls met in a strange city, and the Platonic spiritual love gave each other comfort.

He answered why he was EASY when he got married. Maybe it was true. After meeting Julia for three hours, he fused his soul and body, and then got married smoothly and lived a white-collar life that others envied. When his wife was driving, she said that the refrigerator was leaking, and asked him to find a toolbox that his father-in-law gave him two years ago to repair it. He found the note she left in the refrigerator. He began to disassemble the refrigerator, and destructively disassembled it in each encounter, trying to find the existence of the problem. At the same time, he felt that she was everywhere. When eating, she placed accessories on the dining table; when she took a bath, she was smiling beside her; on the sofa, she was helping him massage... There are so many, vividly in his mind, at that time it was only normal , While saying goodbye, just turn around and never see you again.

The male protagonist was one of the actors in "Brokeback Mountain", and he showed Davis's inner sadness vividly through the destruction. When he destroyed his house, he found his wife's B-ultrasound list. The mother-in-law said that it was someone else's child, so he finally chose forgive. When he came back from visiting his wife's cemetery, he also found a note left by his wife in the car. In fact, his wife loves him very much. Maybe he came too easily and didn't pay much attention. This movie is very similar to Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West". I couldn't understand it at first, but after watching it a few times, it seemed like I saw my own life. "I once had a sincere love in front of me, but I didn't cherish it..." It was only after I lost it that I realized that the previous normal is precious. If you don't break it, God will give you a chance.

After watching the movie, I suddenly remembered the song "Empty City", which felt as reasonable as it was tailor-made. "My heart is dying, what should stimulate my soul... This city is so empty, and this memory is so fierce", I missed the first half of my life without realizing it. Davis fixed the seaside rotation at the end of the film Trojan horse, let their good memories continue, at the same time, he also opened his arms to welcome the second half of his life like a child.

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.
