Confidant hard to find

When I first saw this film, I didn't think so much, it was purely for some entertainment, but after watching it, I felt warm inside.

Life is too lonely, life is very lonely, now many people often see hundreds of friends on their online accounts, but they can't find anyone who really knows them. So I sigh that it’s hard to find a confidant... Confidentiality

, not only he knows you, or only you know him, but mutual understanding, you don’t have to be afraid of saying something wrong that will hurt the other party, but you can know what the other party really needs. It is enough to have such a confidant in life!

However, this is conditional. The conditions are very harsh. Since there is no obstacle to knowing the heart, it does not involve the field that touches the bottom line, and there may even be two completely different worlds between each other.

Out of reach, many just the right names. Both Derek and Philip have no confidantes by their side. Instead, two people who are not in the same world at all have become good partners.
The environment in which Derek grew up was either rape or steal. His principles of survival were so negative, while Philip's social circle was pretentious and had many rules. What he needed was a friend who ignored these worldly visions. Just like his line: "I don’t need his sympathy, Derek handed me the phone, because he often forgets that I can’t move. I only need him to be strong, have hands and feet, think normally, and don’t care. His past." But in fact, Derek has another advantage, that is his sense of responsibility. He knows he is responsible for his younger brother who is not closely related by blood. He also knows that he is responsible for his "mother" who has adopted himself. As for Philip, he also has a sense of responsibility. This is the condition for them to trust each other, which is complicated and simple.

Nowadays, there is rarely such a relationship between social friends, but the movie tells us that we are all trapped in our own circle, and our friends around us have too much contact with us, and it is impossible not to involve mutual interests, and cross-circle Friendship is even more difficult. If you want to have such a confidant, I am afraid that the probability is lower than that of winning the lottery several times.
