The meaning of destruction is to save

Invincible Destruction King, the male protagonist was born with destruction. The reason he was created was to destroy the building, so the whole movie came down, basically there was nothing that Ralph could not destroy. Others don't recognize him, he is angry, smashes things, and is even more regarded as only sabotage, and even more misunderstood.


However, later, we saw that Ralph was no longer sabotaging for venting. He sabotaged because he had something that he cared about and because something must be destroyed to save his companions. Destruction is no longer a bad thing. He used his ability where it should be used, destroying it, and turning it into another form of reconstruction.


On the way home after watching the movie, I suddenly thought that everyone wants to be recognized by others, but in the final analysis, what we want is to recognize ourselves. If we even think we can’t do it, who else will recognize it? you? In the decades of our lives, countless people have come and gone. In the end, we are always alone. Many people often meet each other by water, or even have one side, but we still care about those people’s evaluations of ourselves and hope to learn from others. It’s human nature to draw energy from the positive reviews, but really, there is no need to be too obsessed with it.


The villain’s manifesto in this work has been translated into four four-character words, which are neat but depleted of the original meaning. On the contrary, they are not as plain and touching as the translated version in the Chinese trailer: "I am a contrarian, but this is a good thing. I will always Not being a hero is not a bad thing, as long as you can be yourself, you are the best."


In the end, Ralph finally no longer clings to his identity as a villain. He understands that there are certain things that only he can do, and only he can do well. He no longer cares too much about how others think about himself. He knows that he is a kind-hearted person. People need people, after all, if such a little girl likes him, where can he go bad?
