Is it Jack Sue in disguise?

When a loved one has cancer, it can make people feel powerless, a feeling of powerlessness that I can't change the fact no matter how hard I try. And that feeling will vary depending on where you are in real life. The more powerful and omnipotent successful people are, the more this sense of powerlessness will aggravate. Perhaps it was this feeling of powerlessness that prompted Philip to go paragliding in bad weather, but it had more devastating consequences.

He had already encountered a disaster that he was powerless to change. He wanted to fight, but suffered a more severe blow, and he was a person with such a successful career. In such a situation, it is incredible that Philip can have such a character. Dell's early performance was unbelievably poor for a candidate. Even if Philip had other considerations, no one with a temper would be able to tolerate a low-level person being so powerful in his own home. In the first half of the movie, Philip is basically accommodating Dell, and there is no reason to wonder who is caring for whom.

The hidden reason given in the movie is that Philip may be angry with Yvonne for autonomy, or he may be looking for an irresponsible person to make things happen when he wants to die. But not very convincing. This is an extremely successful person who has suffered a great blow. Obviously, he can't justify without a temper.

Dell was forgiven for stealing books, stealing cars, reading letters, unruly, and rude. Philip only lost his temper at the end because of a failed date. This time, let Dell turn into a savior. Everything you lost and found is because of me.

Although I admit that some high-ranking people do have a distaste for those who are subservient, but if they speak out, they will win respect. But first, Philip's condition is not simply superior. He has an extremely disadvantaged physical condition, which will inevitably lead to an inferiority complex. In addition, Dell is not the kind of outspoken, well-founded, and his behavior and attitude are extremely problematic. Therefore, even if it is an adaptation of a real event, the dramatic plot is estimated to have added a lot.

Finally, Nicole Kidman is beautiful.
