A white aristocrat, a black man in a slum, different skin colors, different ages, personalities, different lifestyles, and different social classes are intertwined by wonderful opportunities.
Philip, as a person who was educated to be a strong man since childhood, couldn't accept the fact that he couldn't move, and he didn't like people to treat him as a disabled person. Although surrounded by servants, he was still alone. From the opening recruitment scene, we can understand that what Philip needs is not formal care, but spiritual companionship. Philip's true emotions are beyond the reach of others.
And Deshest's independent, unconventional qualities and humorous personality are the reasons Philip excluded him from many unconventional caregiver candidates. Formally because of this difference in identity, status, and culture, Philip's boring life has been added luster. Philip liked De Heis to see him as a normal person, as he said to his friends: "That's all I want, no empathy. He always hands me the phone, you know why? Because he forgets I can't Move." During the
day and night, the slum ruffian De Heis learned to do things by the rules, and the noble and elegant Philip learned to listen to pop music, smoke, and play tricks on the police. Both sides have influenced each other in the process of getting along, changed themselves, and enjoyed each other's happiness brought to them by each other.
When parting was not pretentious, De Heis readily agreed to Philip's request and said goodbye to each servant cheerfully. However, when De Heis walked out of the gate of the mansion, silently stuffed the photo of Philip into his pocket, and Philip watched his friends in the window, the sympathy was vividly and delicately displayed, which was touching.
A major feature of this film is that it is not deliberately provocative, the story is bland and humorous, the two did not tear down when they parted, but they moved the audience. It's not a tough guy movie, it doesn't have a hot selling point, it's not a little Zhengtai and a strange uncle, it doesn't have a bad taste, and it tells the friendship between two men without any basic feelings, and it is full of French romance.
Philip and De Heis told us that what people need most is not just love, but a soul mate who can treat you equally and comfort each other. Because only they can make the deepest emotions of your soul within reach.
