intimacy and strangeness

Broken life, watched it twice: I thought I was drowsy last night and didn't understand it, but I watched it again when I woke up today. After watching the movie, I was still ignorant! I only feel that the male protagonist is unhappy and depressed, and then he frantically "explodes", smashing his own things and even paying money to smash old houses on the street to be demolished. I don't understand a financial white-collar worker who has a beautiful wife and a rich husband. , Why look numb and melancholy! Wife died in a car accident, and her behavior was out of control because of sadness and nostalgia? Yet he himself told strangers on the train that he did not love his wife! After reading the movie reviews again, I gradually filtered out the male protagonist. He is a man who "isn't my chair, mind my shit". He works diligently and follows steps step by step. The marriage is as simple as 3 hours to decide the result, and he has no sense of everything around him! His wife died suddenly, he confided his heart to strangers, and had a crazy desire to destroy. Because of his persistent complaints, he met the heroine who raised a rebellious son alone, and started the days of "friends are to spend time with each other", and began to be happy. There are too many strangers in the intimate relationship, but in the unfamiliar relationship, you can remove the disguise, confide your heart, and be your true self! Life is not easy, real life, happiness is rare, cherished

  • 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.
