Remake is also possible

I found out that this is a remake after watching it. I haven't seen the original version, so I won't comment on it here. However, if you have the opportunity, you must look at the original version for a comparison. Overall, the filming of this version is also very good. I enjoyed the whole viewing process, and I didn't feel that I couldn't watch it. This is the American version, which has an American humor in it, and I guess maybe the atmosphere is a little better than the French version.

In fact, although the film is a remake, there are many things worth watching. I think this film should not be viewed with prejudice. Just like their friendship in the film, an equal treatment will bring many different feelings. A lot of times people are prejudiced about anything. The prejudice referred to here is good or bad, and it is not necessarily that prejudice is necessarily bad. But if we can be less biased, the evaluation will be more objective. Just fell in love with Dell, he thought he was the most suitable person. So Dell managed to get a job taking care of Phillip, and the two of them influenced each other in the process. For example, Phillip found Dell's potential, encouraged him to do his own business, affirmed his talent, and Dell gave Phillip respect and happiness. They developed a deep friendship, a friendship that is precious to me.

There are many points in the film that strike me. The first is that Dell has given Phillip enough respect. When ordering food, he will ask the clerk to ask Phillip's opinion instead of ignoring his presence. The second is that Dell took back from his son the birthday present he stole from Phillip for his son's birthday. This book was given to him by Phillip's wife. Dell didn't know it when he stole it. After the importance of deciding to go back. Phillip didn't get too angry when he found out, but said that people make mistakes, he was really tolerant of Dell, and didn't deny him because of this behavior. The third is that after they quarreled, Dell was fired by him, which made Phillip's condition worse for a while. When Dell came back after a long time, Phillip's beard had grown all over his face. Dell took him out for a ride, gliding. This really made Phillip feel very happy, and I was so happy to see it that I was moved to tears.

In fact, although the film is a remake, there are many things worth watching. I think this film should not be viewed with prejudice. Just like their friendship in the film, an equal treatment will bring many different feelings. A lot of times people are prejudiced about anything. The prejudice referred to here is good or bad, and it is not necessarily that prejudice is necessarily bad. But if we can be less biased, the evaluation will be more objective.
