Demolition

Worth the purchase

Jake Gyllenhaal played his character perfectly. It was a great study in grief and character development as he lost the wife that he thought that he loved and believed that she loved him. Grief is a mischievousadversary that attacks each of us in a different way. Demolishing everything he got his hands on seemed as natural to him as it bewildered everyone who knew him to be meticulous and precise.The entire cast was a crew of broken and hurting individuals who had no one to turn to. I especially liked the progression of his relationship with Chris's mom. There are so many layers in Demolition that I am looking forward to watching it again to get the most out of it.

La pelicula es muy buena y deja un muy bien mensaje pero no hay dub ni sub al español a pesar que en los detalles dice que si. No gastes tus 5 dolares en el alquiler y mirala pirata mejor.

Sometimes a midlife crisis doesn't happen in the middle of your life. Sometimes it happens when you're 15. Or 25. Or 42. Or 50.One night i was playing Tomb Raider on PS4 and i was, for whatever reason, unable to get past a certain level. Tried and tried and tried until finally something in me let loose and i screamed. I wanted to destroy something, and it wasn't going to be the TV, a window, or furniture - i focused all my rage on the PS4 controller. Knowing full well these are pricey little fkers, but not caring, i flung that controller against the wall and floor until it was a crumpled mess. Mission accomplished; rage gone.The next day i purchased a new controller. For whatever reason the great spirits above somehow prompted me to watch this film. And then i fully understood why i demolished that controller the night before.We like to label certain behaviors so we can easily categorize people. Toxic male. Prone to violence. Anger issues. And paradoxically, this make the problem worse - the "problem" being repression of emotions.The truth is, none of us knows wtf we're doing here, or how to truly be a decent human being. We get labels thrown at us so we mask our emotions and act accordingly so god forbid, we're not labelled a "bad person."This film was refreshing to experience. The authenticity of the main character came rushing at me like tidal wave. A man's wife dies in the first five minutes of the film. So he copes with it the only way he knows how: by demolishing everything in sight.Sometimes, the way to rebuild is to tear everything down. To swear. To fight. To scream.I don't know what set me off with that PS4 game. Maybe the impending doom of knowing my dog with heart issues was slowly declining in health. Maybe that i screwed up a 10 year relationship that eventually petered out into a passionateless friendship. Maybe the realization that i had given up on my dreams of fame and success.The PS4 controller was about $50 to replace, and it was the best money i had spent in a long time. Coupled with watching this film, it was the catharthis that i needed at just the right time.

Of JG is so mesmerizing ,A must watch.

Slow drama

Watching us struggle as humans and witnessing us overcome these struggles inspires us to grow!

I love this movie. It’s the right mix of fun, real, sad, and uplifting.

Excelente actuación de jake gyllenhaal.

This is by director Jean-Marc Vallee; mature subject, I thoughtit was a bit long and strange at first but the second half of the storywill blow you away; you have talented jake gyllenhall playinga man who does almost everything to ignore the grief of his wife'sdeath, seems cold and disorganized; he meets a woman who findsa confident in him as she is in a bad marriage and the hidden pearlin this movie is a colossal performance by young Judah Lewis,a teenager with a very bad attitude but you'll find out later why;his character becomes pivotal in helping Jake's character face his demonsand in return, he gives much needed friendship and his non judgementalattitude helps the sad and angry teenager come out of his shell,a deep bond results from this very original situation; it'sthe kind of movie that doesn't give the plot away and is moreprovocative and needs your attention if youwant to truly appreciate it; I loved it and enjoyed it moreafter the first view. No Hollywood bing band, special effectsjust watch and don't think kind of story; if you like a well written well directed andpowerful performances, you'll enjoy this one. I have my copyand will watch it again. Highly recommended!!

Excelente compra! Llegó en excelentes condiciones, respecto a la película ya la había visto pero la tenía que tener en mi colección, decici adquirir el Blu-ray consiente de que lo más seguro era que venía solo subtitulado, pero mi gran sorpresa fue de que viene con doblaje en latino.

Me encanto esta cinta el dvd es región 1 pero con subtitulos en español

Having been really impressed with Dallas Buyers Club and Wild - Demolition completes Jean Marc Vallee's hat trick. Odd, quirky, stand alone - great acting, editing, music - ultimately uplifting.Bombed at the box office - no idea why....
