When recruiting a life assistant, he met Dell, who was just released from prison. In the interview, Dell's arrogance and rudeness attracted Philip's attention. Philip decided to hire Dell, and Dell also accepted the job because of hardship and good job pay. Philip and Dale began to influence each other’s lives. They listened to opera together and listened to each other’s voices. Dale respected Philip very much. He would remind the clerk to ask Philip what he wanted to eat and let his son greet Philip’s eyes. . Philip will also defend Dell's identity in front of Dell's son. The two of them became friends who knew each other's needs best.
The appearance of the simple and rude, kind and sincere black Dale broke the shackles and restrictions in the life of the white Philip, and healed a wealthy but lonely soul. Two different people met together, and with each other's help, they made up for their own shortcomings: Philip broke through the shackles of the body, and Dale broke through the shackles of the soul and learned to accept others.
Recommended reason:
This film is a good way to integrate the words "race", "class", "equality", and "respect" into the two protagonists of the story without any trace. It makes people feel that true respect is not sympathy, but Treat each other equally.
