put yourself in

After watching the movie just now, I remembered the part about marriage and emotions. Is it that people who live too easy are easily numb and alienated? So life still needs ups and downs to prove existence? Or is numbness a middle-class product, so people should be more interesting and not let the other half be just a vague shadow when recalling? What is love, is it willing to pay for the other half for the sake of the other half? If you go too far, you will cheat like the heroine. Emotions are a balance, so they need to be managed very much. Selfishness or selflessness in love can also be transformed. Some people say that there should be more happiness in love. What about this unequal love? Be happy has almost become a slogan in Hong Kong dramas in recent decades, but what's so happy about it? It seems like this sentence is used to relieve stress, like chicken soup, it's not really that useful. The wisdom of life seems not to teach us how to face problems, but to teach us how to face with a good attitude... The problems of life, the legendary chicken soup. The wisdom of life is the useful thing, so I feel that this film takes all the time to tell the story, like a slice of the times, to let you see the problem.

I seem to see myself in the play—perhaps it is the common feeling of many modern people, that people will get tired, like the seven-year itch, here is numbness, and the discussion is not about right and wrong, but just expressing numbness. So after watching this movie, however, I was thinking about what he meant to us for two hours. Life seems to give us many choices, but every step should be balanced. In today's alienated society, the couple is out of balance step by step. He has a lot of work pressure, and he is less and less concerned about his family, and he has less and less interaction. The heroine in the play is home-centered, and she also cheated on him from true love to shatter, so there is no absolute number of feelings. So I suddenly lost my orientation in life, and the balance between life and work was too difficult. Just like successful people also have imbalances like "day face". Ordinary people are even more troubled by ordinary people. Life is made up of choices, big and small. Marriage and work are all about painstaking efforts, not to say that they are not self-perceived.

I'm very annoyed by the male protagonist's i dont care attitude... So actually, I was very angry when I looked at it, and I actually demolished the house. If the house was his own hard work, would he be like this? Just to express his numbness? It's just that he doesn't think it's what he wants. His ascent up the hierarchy has him lost. Is he right with his wife? He doesn't understand the value of this house, but is he right with Karen? He is of the same class, with a dismal little house and limited room for advancement. Will he be satisfied with such a life? I don't think so. He just didn't reflect, didn't really try to live. Right here, I feel like it's a lot like Gone Love. What will love become?
ps Maybe I won't be a very patient parent in the future -_-#, maybe it will be different when I get married. How hard it is to change for others, parents are amazing. I suddenly thought of a detail, the heroine and her mother always quarrel, I think it is a character that is overly dependent and cannot grow up, very similar to me. I'll update when I understand more.

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.

    Chris: Who the f...
