Perhaps due to having seen "Green Book" before, the relationship between the two protagonists reminds me of Tony and Don in "Green Book". The same is the mutual redemption, the same is from the mutual disappreciation at the beginning, to the gradual understanding of each other.
Philip may never have thought that one day he would be on drugs, laugh wildly in his wheelchair, forget the fact that he was disabled, order fifteen hot dogs at a hot dog shop, and laugh at a homeless man. , one of which is for you to order.
And Dale never imagined that he could get a big payoff for a painting on a whim. To fall in love with an opera that you have never dabbled in before, even high art.
The film shows the frustration of different classes in society just right, and also sees the influence of the family of origin on personal growth. Even though it was a movie that changed according to reality, after watching the ending, it still gave me a sense of non-reality. It seems that everything is going too smoothly. If any small link goes wrong, the life of the two will be turned upside down.
For Dale, what is out of reach is a bright life after getting out of prison, getting his wife's forgiveness, and participating in his son's growth.
For Philip, the unreachable thing is to fly to the sky again, to touch the face of his lover again, and to not be treated as special as ordinary people.
They meet each other, realize those unreachable, and gain the best friends of each other's life.
The story told by the film is not so thrilling, but it can bring joy to the audience in the process of watching it, and it is still a very good comedy. In reality, it reveals the warmth of American style. But the plot is too mediocre, and the ending and plot development must be guessed by most audiences.
