The rarest thing in the world is that someone understands your choice

After watching the film, I kept thinking: what is out of reach, what is out of reach.

Philip said: "He has no sympathy for me.

It's not that Philip is not strong, and he has no complaints about his disability. Because he has a good upbringing and good financial resources, he lives with dignity.

Everyone in the world knows how to respectfully avoid the topic of disability.

You can imagine that from his point of view, the people around him are looking at him with kindness and kindness. Although no one says anything, they all regard him as a person who needs to be taken care of, and they carefully protect him, including his self-esteem, It is generally believed that a disabled person is sensitive, and things about his disability are out of reach.

Only Dehis did not, he joked about his inconvenience, and he often forgot that he needed to be taken care of. He seemed unscrupulous and had a rejection of work, but he had no scruples about Philip, when he was a healthy People, strong people, want to say something.

But that's not all. When Philip was very nervous about meeting with his pen pal and finally gave up, he called De Heis: "Go for a ride?" De Heis didn't ask much: "Do you want to escape?" Then go for a drive." After hanging up the phone, he went to pick up Philip.

The annoying guy who has been teasing him and facilitated meeting with his pen pals is now willing to escaping with him. There is no big reason or too much concern. If you need me, I will accompany you. The tacit understanding between the two is unprecedented and unparalleled. The most rare thing in the world is that someone understands your choice, instead of helping you make choices, or even making choices for you.

Status, master-servant relationship I don’t think is the focus of the relationship between the two, and Philip treats Dexis the same way. When Dexis’ younger brother made a mess, Philip said, “You need to discipline your brother.” He quit his job.

Seemingly insane but not ostentatious at all, De Heis and Philip are surrounded by each other's hearts, instead of watching and moving away from each other, letting the real each other drift away.

Maybe not "touch, out of reach" but "reach, but not touch".
