Philips is rich, and when he is rich, he invites a symphony band to play at home when he listens to music, and he can buy a painting if he values it. Driss is very poor. Obviously, the film has emphasized that he lives in the slums of the city, hangs out with friends all day on the streets, and is an adopted child when it comes to business affairs. Not only does he have no wealth, but he also seems to lack love.
In stark contrast, the wealthy Philips was paraplegic in a high position because of an accident. He has a clear mind, but he has no intuition below his neck. As he said, I am a wealthy disabled person. If it is not rich, how can Philips be clean and tidy every day, sitting in a wheelchair in a suit and leather shoes? Our male No. 2, poor, with a background of theft, living on the edge of society, but with good arms and legs, has an optimistic attitude towards life.
As a result, the bourgeoisie and the proletariat also have a place to meet. The former needs care and respect, and the latter needs to earn money to make a living, but in essence it is still a clear master-servant relationship, no matter how close the two are. For example, Philips brought D together. To experience his beloved skydiving, enjoy an exquisite lunch, and even provide D luxurious accommodation and pay a high price for one of his paintings, but D still needs to wear gloves to dispose of excrement for Philips, and the servants serve the master. Obligation, the kindness of a master to a servant, is an obvious gift. As a servant, D's natural enthusiasm for life has also infected Philips invisibly. Perhaps this is probably what touched most people in this film. We are more willing to ignore the cold master-servant relationship and watch it. To the equal coexistence of each other's feelings, even to a certain extent, the bourgeois Philips has a considerable dependence on the proletarian D emotionally.
Of course, of course, there is the most important premise for all of this to happen, that is, the rich owner is paraplegic in a high position, and at the same time the family is rich, he must rely on other people to give him all the assistance in life. It seems as though one of the bourgeois's legs is broken to bring them closer to the life of the proletarians.
How can a warm movie make it so boring to watch. At least the actor who plays Philips has the same warm eyes as George Clooney, and when he smiles, he completely sweeps away the haze of the disabled, and the actor who plays D, as a black actor, can hardly remember him except for his white teeth in the background. The eyes or other more attractive body language, all are approaching the spiritual place. Perhaps, the director's intentions have been revealed when he chooses the actors.
