This is a very heartwarming and touching story. A handsome and refined gentleman and a ruffian and casual black guy tend to be two extremes in terms of personality, skin color or social status. It's hard to find a confidant." The friendship between them is like Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi in the mountains and rivers. It is untouchable, and it makes everyone envious. People live a lifetime, and if they have this confidant, what more can they ask for?
All encounters in the world are reunions after a long absence. If the acquaintance of the rich man Philip and the black guy Dreis was just an accident or accident, then I prefer to believe that it is predestined by God, and everything is God's best arrangement for them. Because of the accident at the extreme sports event, Philip was completely unconscious except for his head, and needed to recruit a full-time escort; while the black guy Dress, who just came out of prison, was under great family pressure, and he just wanted to seek a letter of dismissal. Apply for unemployment benefits. Philip fell in love with this young man who was free to follow me at a glance, and a large part of the reason why Dries chose to stay was because he was interested in female assistants. In this way, the two people can be said to have met by accident and became confidants, and everything has its own will in the dark.
I don't know since when, money seems to have become a standard for measuring a person's value, but this does not mean that money can fully measure a person's value, nor does it mean that money can bring everything, and it is much more than money. Too many things are more really expensive for people. Take Philip in the film as an example. He has an inexhaustible wealth. In the eyes of outsiders, he is a rich gentleman, but because of an accident, he can only sit in a wheelchair every day and can't do anything, and then he loses it again. His greatest belief - his lover. What was the point of spending so much money on Philip for anything but expensive treatments? His sentence "When the physical pain is gone, the mental pain follows, and the disability I am in is not sitting in a wheelchair, but losing her." I was impressed. He has almost lost everything in his life and the meaning of his life. Although he has the wealth that everyone admires, what's the use? What he has lost can never be returned, no matter how much money he has It doesn't make sense.
"When God closes a door for you, he opens a window for you." Although Philip lost almost everything he had, he was very fortunate to meet Dries. The days he used to spend in a wheelchair with a group of people around him can be said to be extremely boring. I think in a sense it was a torment for Philip, but the appearance of Dries made him Once again, I felt that long-lost respect, and I also won love for him, which made him see the hope and meaning of life. Philip is a personable and talented gentleman. He loves art, and for him art "is the only trace left after people have come to this world"; he is brilliant, and his replies to pen pals are full of poetic romance. But this elegant gentleman also has a crazy side, and his madness comes from his unreserved pursuit and love of life. Although only the head can move up and down the whole body, it doesn't affect him and Deresi's crazy fun at all. Two people drove a luxury car, free and casual, deceived the police, road racing; Philip began to smoke and smoked; Philip sold Dreis's paintings at a high price; the two even went to participate in extreme sports skydiving... There may be many people I would think he was crazy, kept a ruffian by his side to take care of himself and did so many crazy things, but it was such a ruffian who made Philip find the meaning of his life. For Philip, being able to be as free as Dreis, not thinking too much, and keeping the passion for life at all times is untouchable and also very desirable, but the appearance of Dreis makes these desires for life within reach. And, and Philip also harvested his own love, from being lazy and frustrated with life to holding wine, it's all unbelievable.
If Philip represents the image of a gentleman with a dignified manner and elegance, then Dries is exactly the opposite of him. At first glance, this black guy from the slum seems to be a bad young man, swearing all day long, extremely free and casual, his family situation is extremely bad, he has just come out of the cell where he has lived for half a year because of the crime, he went to Philip's house. There is only one purpose-to let Philip sign the resignation letter so that he can receive unemployment benefits, and even a large part of the reason why he chose to stay to take care of Philip is because he is more interested in the female secretary of Philip's family. But it was such a person who became a confidant with Philip, who was the opposite of himself, and helped Philip gain love.
Although Dreis is just an ordinary black guy in the slum, he has a lot of flashes on him. Philip said he was staying because he was "unsympathetic", and from another point of view, rather than Dreis being "unsympathetic," I would rather believe it was a respect, a kind of respect across class and race. respect. Dreis didn't treat Philip with a handicap because he was disabled. He was still as unrestrained as anyone else. Dreis didn't forget that Philip was handicapped. He just always treated Philip as a normal person. What others couldn't do with Philip but at the same time it was exactly what Philip needed. Maybe for Philip, this kind of respect is the real respect that disabled people need, but this kind of respect is exactly what most people except Dreis think can't do, so the two of them got to know each other. It might just be an accident, but it's no accident that the two of them became good friends and have a mountain-like friendship.
At the beginning, I always wondered why Dreis' younger brother went to Philip's house to find Dreis, and Dreis left. I looked back at that paragraph several times. Maybe Dreis left because he was a responsible and daring man. He should stand up when there were difficulties in the family. As the eldest, he was the backbone of the family; maybe Philip also felt that He also has his own family to take care of. Compared with himself, Dreis' family needs Dreis more, and it is difficult for him to take care of the family here in Philip.
Here I want to talk about self-confidence, because in the film, the self-confidence in the black Dreis is as valuable as the respect he has for Philip. I read a topic a few days ago, "What do children who have been indoctrinated from childhood and know how to be poor at home and not to cause trouble have grown up?", one of them answered, "The self-confidence in children from excellent native families is my No matter how much you get, you can't imitate it" has resonated with many people. This sentence made me feel very deeply. I am a relatively low self-esteem person. I often stand on the same starting line as other people in the face of many things. I always belittle myself and lack self-confidence. Others, but in fact, I am no worse than others.
The innate self-confidence in Dreis makes many people untouchable. In the 112-minute story of the whole film, I did not feel any expression of inferiority or inferiority in him. Whether facing people of different ages, classes or even different races, he can always show others his outspoken and unique side of personality. He can be friends with Philip, lead everyone at the birthday party... etc. Many times he can handle many things including trivial matters, which is not unrelated to his character. On the other hand, Philip, although he is rich, talented, and talented, his disability makes him feel inferior to the extreme. He and his pen pal exchanged letters with gentleness and smooth flow, but he didn't even have the courage to send a photo with his real life; in order to meet his pen pal, he dressed up and arrived at the date two hours in advance, but in the end he was afraid because of his inferiority complex Choose to run away when you are about to meet. If Dereis hadn't forced him in the end, it would have been impossible for him to say that this beautiful love was out of his reach.
Last but not least, I would also like to talk about a piece of music in the film. The friendship between Philip and Dries is already very touching. The soundtrack "Fly" in the last part of the film can make people feel a warmth just by listening to the melody. , it can be said that it is the finishing touch. This music reminds me of the music in "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" where the male protagonist finally applauds in the crowd. When the last tune of the film plays, happiness has already started to quietly knock on Philip's door. Untouchable friendship, confidence, respect, love... I think one day happiness will knock on the door for everyone who loves life, and all these untouchables will be within reach.
