Friendship, irrelevant sympathy

Because of a parachuting accident, the white rich man Philip was paralyzed in bed and wanted to hire a full-time escort. Due to the high salary, the applicants are crowded, all of them are full of tongues, but they can't move his heart. It wasn't until the appearance of Black Dehis that he made a decision. De Hiss had just come out of prison and was burdened with family burdens. He just wanted to find a letter of dismissal to apply for relief money, and he was obviously more interested in female assistants than in this job. But Philip still caught the young man with a glance. So De Hiss started a one-month trial period. The people around him didn't understand. Philip's answer was: He always forgets the fact that I am paralyzed. I want such a person, without mercy, no special treatment, and no discrimination.
One is a descendant of aristocratic Philip with a physical disability, and the other is a small bastard Deris from the bottom. These two people have almost nothing in common, but they have established a deep and loyal friendship in getting along. At the same time, the two people Unanimously unearthed another self. Philip began to become "humorous" and was no longer ashamed to face his feelings for admiring women; while Derris also embodied his self-worth with integrity and sincerity, and became an "artist". The process of two people getting along-smoking, walking, shaving, looks so ordinary, but it makes people feel like flying in the sky, giving a feeling of freedom in the heart, and even the discomforts and worries in life. This moment can be temporarily forgotten. Such a story dressed in a pleasant coat has enough energy to narrow the inner distance. At the same time, the "non-fiction" of the whole story makes people happy to believe in the existence of these moving things and keep it in their hearts.
In this movie, life and death are no longer tears used as gimmicks. In the limited time of life, I would rather let my heart move unscrupulously than beg others for help like a dying person at any time. This is a kind of respect and respect for life. It has nothing to do with being moved, although the viewers feel warmth all the time. In the second half of the movie, the rich man didn't want him to spend the rest of his life with a patient, so he changed to another nurse. The professional nurse who was always cautious and explained to others with "he is ill" when there was a problem, his heart grew old day by day, and he missed the fact that he played with him, went crazy with him, and even made jokes about the paralytic. friend.
In the story, the brilliance of humanity does not lie between them, who made greater sacrifices for whom, but only lies in: You give me the peace and dignity that I want, and I give you the recognition and support you want. . Their knowledge, identities, and status are very different, but they have an unprecedentedly consistent attitude on this point: don't use the kindness you think to make the other person grateful. Every adult has a world that cannot be easily touched by strangers, whether it is a healthy person or a severely ill person. Only at the moment they meet the same kind, will they release a kind of goodwill mixed with joy. This kind of kindness is not good in the traditional sense, but to believe in and value each other's energy, express oneself sincerely, and not impose what one thinks of good on each other.
Don't act in the name of good, this may be something that too many people have failed to comprehend. You think she needs to be comforted and comforted, but she is really only thinking about whether she can walk through the night alone. You think he should choose the better one, so you dissuade him in every possible way, but you don't know that some roads can only be taken by yourself, and some choices may be wrong but they are what they want. Our parents, our friends, are undoubtedly people who really care about us. But why, when it comes to difficulties, it is hard for them to say anything, and even want to escape from them. People can communicate with each other only because they agree on the concept of good and evil. What others think of as good is often more like a burden to oneself. The evil that others think is the freedom you think is high. Anyone who uses affection as a bargaining chip and wants to control the other's personality and freedom will have to destroy that affection in the end.
We are busy every day, and complain more or less about the unsuccessful life; Philip was unable to face life independently due to his physical disability at the beginning, he did not want to contact with outsiders, and always "bullyed" his neighbors and Those relatives who “only care about whether he is still alive” chose to ignore them, and “dare not” ride in a luxury car, but were helpless to stay away from his favorite skydiving (he was disabled because of skydiving); and Deris, He had just been released from prison and would rather get unemployment benefits than work. His adoptive mother drove him out of the house because he was disappointed in him. It can be said that both of them have a life of failure, but in the time they get along, they affect each other and both grow up again. Of course, the dissatisfaction in life cannot be eliminated, but as long as we change our life attitude, we can still let ourselves Change happens and makes life happy.
