destroy

I think the whole film is composed of two changes of the protagonist. The first change is the debauched life after the deceased wife.

One of my favorite episodes is that the protagonist wears headphones, walks down the street, and dances like no one else is around. That feeling is as beautiful and pleasant as waltzing. I don't care about other people's opinions and do what I want to do calmly. This attitude to life is the attitude I have always dreamed of. I care too much about other people's opinions, and sometimes I am really tired!

The second change, when he saw some scenes, some places where he played together, he unconsciously remembered the happy life he and his wife had together, and then remembered that there was no one next to him to accompany him. Who wouldn't suffer from such a change?

The protagonist destroyed everything of himself in the middle of the movie, but because of this crazy destruction, it became the emotional turning point of the protagonist. The name of the movie , Demolition , means destruction. There is no reconstruction where the damage comes from. This word also expresses the relationship between the protagonists. It is necessary to put aside the previous life and emotions, experience life from a different perspective, and treat others. Although the damage is not good, the effect after reconstruction will be better, instead of lying in a broken life.

From the beginning, I tried hard to shed tears for my deceased wife, but in the end I shed tears unconsciously. This reminded me of a passage I saw before, and it touched me deeply.

The moment when a loved one leaves is not usually sad, but the half carton of milk that opens the refrigerator, the green basket swaying in the wind on the window sill, the velvet quietly folded on the bed is what makes you sad. The quilt, and the noise from the washing machine late at night.

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.
