joyful

It's a happy movie, relaxed and happy, and it's very relaxing to watch while busy.

Philip, a wealthy aristocrat, was paralyzed in his lower limbs in a sports accident after skydiving. He could only sit in a wheelchair and could not take care of himself, so he found a black young man, DRISSriss, to help him at home. This is a young man from the suburbs, fresh out of prison. Simply put, this is the most unsuitable person for the job. The two worlds collided and merged, and an incredible, wonderful friendship was born. This is a unique relationship with many sparks. And this relationship made them invincible.

The film runs through a lot of "laughs" from beginning to end, with knowing smiles, hearty laughs, self-deprecating wry smiles... It conveys silent warmth and brings warmth to Philip's life this winter.

In life, we often wear masks unconsciously, speak insincere words, behave decently, and keep a distance from others, but our hearts are very eager for sincere care and warmth. So the story in the film is touching, and the friendship between the two is enviable. Maybe we can let go of our burdens and concerns, and be honest with others, we will have more close friends, and our life will be more comfortable.

    The original (French version) with pearls in front. The rhythm is not as good as the original. The opening car chase scene: I prefer the handling of the American version - P is silent. But the original version is worse than the clip with the soundtrack (that is, the police car drives the road); the language of the interview is not as delicate as the original; the two versions of Yifang have their own charm; Part of their bridge, compared to European (French) films, the jokes are less bold and open.

    The original version is too popular, but I also like the interpretation of this version.
