This is beyond the story

For the time being, I will not pursue the 2004 documentary.

Here is the story between Derris from the slum and the wealthy disabled Philip.

The lives of the two are not so perfect, and there are all kinds of unsatisfactory things. In Derris's words, Philip seems to have been used to misery, and because of this, what he needs is a life assistant who can treat himself equally, even if The other party constantly laughed at his disability.

Some things are not tolerable because they know that the other party is not malicious. At least I have seen too many disabled people shouting that they need dignity, but after all, it is an incomprehensible confession, but until I see Philip, maybe there is only enough. Only by the courage of laughing at his incompleteness can he stand up completely mentally.

And Deris is the same. Born in a slum, he jumped into the life of the upper class. Not only did he not "do good, but also keep teaching Philip his various "bad habits", but this was right in the middle of the night. The melancholy Philip, a man with white teeth, has never complained or low self-esteem because of his poor status and status.

That's why we can treat each other as equals, and we can listen to and experience the world that is completely unfamiliar to each other as equals. Philip accepted the cigarette, and Deris was put on the blue sky. They tried something completely unfamiliar in the other's world, although they would be a little worried, but they still had courage.

Deris went to see the mother who raised her, with concern and sadness in her eyes. Philip escaped his date and chose to return to living alone. But what each other gave to each other was still just a little bit of help, with Chen Ken's attitude. Philip asks Deris to return to his family to live, and Deris arranges a date for Philip that he cannot escape from again.

And whether they can overcome the difficulties of life, in the end, still depends on them.

This kind of friendship is not a kind of understanding, but it is longer than any kind of emotion, without excessive intervention, but has been dedicated to the other side. No one can replace someone to defeat life, but everyone needs a person who can stand behind him when he is cowardly, everyone needs a person, no matter what kind of things they encounter, how different they are, they can Always stand in the same parallel position with yourself.

With such a friend, a person will live more hopefully, because you know that even if he is not always with you, even if he changes you in a tough and unreasonable way from time to time, he sincerely hopes that you can become better.

And this kind of friendship is the most real and the longest.


As for the music, Ludovico Einaudi also has several other masters’ soundtracks, which can be described as the original soundtrack of a luxurious lineup.

Finally, as a movie, this is a work that is close to full marks.
