The "US version" is untouchable

This film is a remake of the French film of the same name. The electronic sound is adapted from real time. It tells the story of the white aristocratic rich Phillip and his wife after skydiving, his wife died and Phillip became a high paraplegic. Dell, a black man who had just been released from prison, went to Phillip's house to interview for private nursing because he was eager to find a "receiving unit" to sign when he was looking for a job. After a series of events, the two people, who were very different in social status and skin color, gradually became good friends.

In the film, Phillip is played by Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart is played by Dell. And Nicole Kidman as phillip's assistant.

Generally speaking, it is not as good as the original French version, or it may be preconceived. I think the French version has a better choice of actors. The actor who plays the rich and aristocratic is more fanciful, and the American version of Bryan Cranston is a little less. . I'm probably used to watching Kevin Hart's comedy films, and I've given him a stereotype in my heart, so when I watch this film, it's easy to play, and I want to laugh as soon as he appears. Perhaps European movies are more artistic and warm than Hollywood, and the original version is even more unsatisfactory.

    The remake is really not that bad, please don't be preconceived. The French version is indeed the first, but this version is more funny. As a warm entertainment film like "The Bucket List", the quality is not bad.

    Nicole is so beautiful. Wearing glasses, she has such an intellectual and gentle temperament. It seems that Meiyu is in a glowing movie. She has a catheter in her laughter and tears. The funniest ear is my sensitive zone.
