be yourself

A very real movie with a very real hero. It's a pity that this kind of thing doesn't happen very often in life. Most of the successful sons-in-law who rely on their wives to work for their father-in-law can only live their whole lives by pretending to be numb. It's just because this kind of life is more "simple" and the male protagonist has this condition - the wife thinks he is sexy, so don't seem to be inappropriate at all, because it has already been sent to her lips. However, this is eating on the face. As a person with a high IQ, your life is essentially relying on your face to eat, which should not be satisfactory. To choose this kind of life is to give up the opportunity to be your true self. Except for the death of my wife. The male protagonist in the movie got such a "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity. He can be his true self again, at least he will start trying to find it instead of continuing to be numb. In the process of his "hard work", everyone around him, especially his father-in-law, is very uncomfortable. The father-in-law can already be said to be furious, because he doesn't care what the male protagonist looks like. His daughter is dead. , he believes that his son-in-law can be too sad and can see a psychiatrist, but it is best not to be schizophrenic. The male protagonist can only be friends with the "working class". A mother with a 14-year-old gay son. The movie depicts many pictures of the male protagonist and the little boy spending a happy time together. As I watched it I kept wondering what exactly this boy thinks of this weird uncle and what would happen if he fell in love with this "uncle". The movie does not discuss this issue, because the little boy has his own problems. His problem is whether he can admit that he is gay (at the age of 14), and he gets the power from the male protagonist, which is the power to be true to himself. . After that, what he got was a beating that sent him to the hospital, and a real self, who seemed to see a proud and contented smile on his face where one eye had been severely deformed from the beating. (Reminds me of the movie Young Adult, The man who was mistaken for gay was broken by a group of people with a stick, and he had to walk on crutches all his life) But being the true self has a price. The male protagonist finally chose to reach an "understanding" with his father-in-law instead of continuing. "go Ape". Because I saw the misfortune of my wife in my marriage with myself, I may have a little "balance" in my heart. Knowing how his numbness has hurt others, he may gain a certain degree of "satisfaction" in his heart, otherwise it will be difficult to explain how he can "reconcile" with his father-in-law. On the train, after the male protagonist confessed to the working-class security guards he met every day that he was an elite in the financial industry rather than a "mattress seller", he confessed, "I don't love my wife." The working class asked him how he felt about it. He pulled the brakes that put the train on the brakes, and two staff members "interrogated" him (possibly detained in China for "nuisance of the peace"), and after learning that "his wife had just died", it seemed understand everything. And why the male protagonist does this action should be a matter of opinion. I think it is the male protagonist who wants to stop his life like this and brakes urgently. Another revelation is that a significant or even the most significant person in your life may need to die for real "change" to occur. After all, changing yourself is so difficult that it costs someone else's life. Yes, only by breaking the original balance can a new balance be established, otherwise why change it? Being truly yourself and being accepted by the world may be everyone's ultimate ideal.

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.
