untouchable

An unreachable accident took away Philip's love and also made him lose his physical freedom. Life was like a muddy mud, and the loser Dale who broke into his life was like a blazing flame, stoking Philip's desire for life. It is the guidance of fate, where ice and flames blend together, and the fireworks of life are sprinkled together. Compared with the French version, the remake of the American version is more "reckless". This is not a derogatory sense. This trait is more localized and the character conflict is more dramatic. It is this trait that Philip needs more than Wen Run. Dale forced him to call pen pals he'd never met and go for a spin in a supercar, and Philip needed the force to break free from his self-pity embarrassment. And Dale also absorbed and integrated Philip's understanding of emotions in the "reckless" process again and again. The ending of the movie is also very good. The two fly together in the sky. Flight is the origin of the tragedy of this movie, but flight is also the bud of hope.
