Destiny to meet you in this life

After watching, I have been thinking about four-star or five-star, and I still gave this movie the highest evaluation under impulse. Because it's like a private poem that I received, some crude writing, but full of affection, telling between the lines that I once trusted you so much.

It is talking about friendship, which is more or less a kind of attraction at the beginning, to tears and laughter later, to gradually familiarity, understanding, trust, and finally unconditional love.

This is a very pure movie, and it is also very simple: pure friendship. But the beauty of the movie is that the story is moving, the feelings are sincere, and it is not overly or artificial. Every little detail, every little smile, is so pure and clean and natural, but it really makes people laugh. For example, the scene where the black male protagonist Driss pursues the female secretary Magalie tirelessly, but finally finds that she is a lesbian, is really uncontrollable. But even so, when he saw Driss walk out of the door of Phillip's house, politely ask someone to drive away, educate his "brother" that this is the principle of life, and walk back to his destined life, he still couldn't help his eyes moist. This is friendship. Driss may have made friends with Phillip for money in the first place, but when he has completed his mission, but still remembers his principles of being a friend, this is no longer driven by interests, but really Friendship made him change.

The movie is reminiscent of "bucket list", but goes further, talking about stronger chemical reactions based on differences. A rich man with a disability and a poor black man, the two worlds are so different, but because of friendship, they collide with all kinds of mysterious sparks. This is due to the natural romantic and artistic characteristics of the French. The story is sad but not sad, but full of happy smiles. This is like "The Anti-Cancer Me", but there is no doubt that all elements of the movie are also required. Take it to the next level and achieve exquisite perfection.

It has to be said that the soundtrack of the movie, a large number of piano music is elegant but full of sentiment, a little bit of heartstrings, and finally reached a climax at the seaside restaurant date that Driss arranged for Phillip. The photography is just as beautiful. The aerial shots combined with music show the beauty of France on the screen, which is fascinating. Coupled with this rock-solid friendship, who will not be moved?

I think everyone has at least one close friend. You and him/her met at a turning point in life and marveled at the differences or similarities between each other. There were many unremarkable but memorable times. They will compare their hearts to you. His grief and strangled his wrists, for your joyous festival, will leave you with such an eternal place in his heart, as a white cloud dog, the situation changes.


Only sigh in this life, destined to meet you.



Finally, thank you Oceandeep who made the subtitles. It is very accurate and careful. You have worked so hard!
