Let everything be broken and restored

I really liked this movie, mainly because I felt the same way. At the beginning of the year, my boyfriend who I talked about for four years died unexpectedly, so it was very touching to see this movie. The death of a loved one is indeed a kind of brokenness, so I think the title translation is great. First, my heart does become fragmented, and second, my memory also becomes fragments. Just like when Jack thinks of his wife, there are few coherent images, but flashbacks of various memories - exactly like me. Especially when you smell a familiar smell or hear a certain lyric, you will flash back many pictures, just like playing a PPT. After Naomi appeared, I was a little worried, and this story became like other love movies, two people redeem each other and fall in love with each other. Fortunately not. In fact, after my own experience, I found that when a person dies, it is difficult to say "salvation", or to some extent there is no need for redemption. There is a word called "bottom rebound". It is actually difficult for ordinary people to touch this "bottom", so it is difficult to have a real "rebound". But when death comes, I understand what the bottom is and can really rebound from the bottom. Therefore, those who have experienced the death of the people around them do not need to be redeemed, they just want to accompany them and have someone to talk to. So Naomi said "I can't have sex with you today" quite commonly. I think Jack can do it with her or not. In fact, it doesn't matter to have sex, it is equivalent to using the body as an exchange to meet the needs of the body. Making love doesn't mean anything, and it doesn't even matter if you fall in love with someone suddenly, but it's completely different from the past, and there is only greater loneliness behind the love. Jack was only concerned that Naomi's panties were not placed separately. In a way, the movie does "broken" all the time. From the broken marriage caused by the car accident at the beginning, Jack demolished everything, even demolished the house and demolished the marriage. He said he just wanted to see how these things were made. If it weren't for these "broken", he could not have found his wife's B-ultrasound, nor could he have known how "broken" they were. Naomi and her son have also been broken, not being their real self, and collaging themselves with broken appearances. The final break is to break these false pretences. I love the slow motion at the end. The little boy finally returned to himself on the dance floor, and the remaining three adults panicked. Everything finally "recovered", from broken to recovery, maybe it just needed a bigger "broken". There are many reactions to death, and everyone may be different. In fact, it is not so painful to work hard to come out. The pain is how to deal with those loneliness. Watching Nicole Kidman's "Rabbit Hole" years ago, the only son was hit and killed by a young man. She was so miserable that she invited the driver to the house for dinner . At the end, I held a vigorous party with my husband, but it was full of helplessness and loneliness after the end - this is the most painful. I think Jack and his wife are very in love, and it's not a big deal when they're at their age, it's just trivial things in life, small notes in the refrigerator, the reflections I accidentally see in the water, and losing her will make me feel My whole body is numb, and I imagine my heart is missing a piece. Jack sincerely wanted to confront the fact of his wife's death, put death on the table, recorded this fact on the answering machine, and stubbornly corrected the mistakes of the vending machine. But after seeing the small note left by his wife in the car and crying, he finally let go. I have always liked Jack very much, he is handsome and has good acting skills. He played the story very real, his exhaustion, calmness, and the irritability and anger concealed under it were the same as the real world. May every broken life have a chance to recover.

  • 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.
