In the movie Out of Reach, I think everyone should at least have such a bosom friend.

Philip, a rich man paralyzed after a world-wide skydiving, recruited black Driss as a life assistant and entered Philip's life dramatically. The class, concept and culture of the two people are very different. The story under the collision is funny and warm, and the friendship and trust established by the two are touching.

Just like the movie said: I hope people can survive.

Philip in real life, who runs champagne business in Corsica, is a veritable French rich man. 1993 A skydiving accident left him quadriplegic, and his beloved wife passed away in 1996. Since then, his life has undergone earth-shaking changes, and he has gradually been squeezed out of his circle of friends.

There are two versions of this adapted film, the French version and the American version. Although there are some differences, on the whole, there is little change.

Philip in the American film bought the bankrupt company, brought it back to life, and wrote a book. Although he was rich, paralysis made him unable to take care of himself and his beloved wife died. Under the double blow, Philip, whom Driss first saw, had no desire to live and could not find the meaning of living. The real intention of hiring Driss is only because Driss is too unsuitable for the requirements of life assistants.

That's it. Whatever. I insist on what you think is inappropriate. Childish anger is somewhat repressed and stubborn.

The French version of Philip is not as fierce as the American version, and he is somewhat indifferent and shallow in the face of these sufferings.

Driss in the real story is not black, but an Arab immigrant.

The American version of Driss is bent on receiving benefits with three letters of dismissal. The burden of his family who just got out of prison is: the humble room rented to his wife and children before going to prison, and the rent needs to be paid by his wife; My son is smart and excellent at school, but he doesn't like his father.

The French version of Driss was released from prison after six months in prison for robbery, and his family grew up quite tortuous. He was adopted by his uncle and aunt. After my uncle died, my aunt took him and several children born later to remarry and gave birth to three more children. My aunt has a hard time with several children, big and small.

Rich people can still be willful after being hit, surrounded by subordinates, employees and servants, coaxing him and following him. Poor people are not even qualified for depression. He had to run for a living.

Let's adapt it to the American version. The plot is more conflicting and appears more tense and powerful.

Two people, one seeking death and the other seeking wealth, started the story in irony.

Everything has cracks, that's where the light comes in. That light, for Philip, is dry.

Of course, the life assistant's duty is to provide Philip with life help around the clock.

It happens all the time in life. We think children need to wear more clothes when it is cold. I think you must like elegant western food. Parents are the best filial piety. Let's try this self-righteousness.

Philip can't take care of himself. The secretary, the housekeeper and everyone around him are full of pity for this, afraid that they will not take care of him at all and interview him with the assistant they think is suitable.

As everyone's initial impression, Driss is really incompetent.

Hold Philip in a wheelchair without wearing a seat belt, feed him a mouthful of salad milk, throw Philip's paging machine aside when sleeping, tease Philip at will, and bathe Philip. ...

These daily affairs barely cope. When changing the catheter and digging excrement, the inner resistance can't resist the entrustment, and the dignity of a man can only be wronged.

One talks to himself and does whatever he wants, while the other is resigned to his fate. Time is so overbearing, full of cruel magic, sometimes full of magical magic.

"This is exactly what I want. He always hands me the phone. Do you know why? Because he forgot I couldn't move. Indeed, he has no pity for me. "

Driss gave Philip the respect of a normal person. Physical disability is not a rude or depressing capital, and dignity has not changed because of it.

Driscoll took Philip for a drive, seeing mountains, water and scenery. Driscoll's happiness is the pleasure of driving a luxury car, while Philip is relieved by Driscoll's laughter.

In the opera house and the gallery, Philip was intoxicated with art and amused by Driss' puzzling amorous feelings.

Driss showed Philip the love and sadness of ordinary people in this world, the comfort and relaxation of nature, expressed his anger and disgust, and accepted everyone's concern for him.

Give someone a rose, and the hand has a lingering fragrance. Giving and receiving have always been mutual and transformed.

Philip was reborn. Driss inspired his painting potential and fell in love with opera. After Philip changed hands, his paintings were sold for a huge sum of money.

Philip has a pen pal Lily. They have been friends for half a year. Maybe it's because of paralyzed inferiority, maybe it's because of the pride of the rich in the spiritual world, maybe it's both. They write poems and talk about their hearts implicitly, but they just stay outside the clouds.

In the world of ordinary people, if you like it, you can express it, and love is together, simple and straightforward. God help Driscoll stop looking at it. He found Lily's phone number in a pile of letters and connected it directly. Philip couldn't back down, so he met Lily in fear and shyness.

The result is not very good. Lily shrank back when she saw Philip's real situation.

Philip was shot once. This time, he gave up on himself, was angry at Derricks' self-assertion, and ended his fantasy of sustainability. He not only fired Driss, but also fired his loyal secretary Fang Yi and others.

Everything is back to the starting point.

Driscoll's life is on track. He bought a new house for his wife and children with the money from selling paintings, and his family began to recognize and accept him. He found a new job and continued to support his family.

When the housekeeper found him again, Philip drove away countless life assistants and refused their care. His beard looks like his barren desire for survival.

Driss didn't show any emotion. As before, he combed his beard, ignored his indifference, took him racing, bet to escape under the siege of the police, and shaved his beard into the shape of a celebrity in the hotel. ...

Maybe there really is a magnetic field between people. The tacit understanding of the past is back, as if everything began to recover in spring, and a smile slowly bloomed on Philip's face.

When Fang Yi, the secretary, sat down slowly opposite Philip with a smile, Philip knew that this woman who never gave up on him was a surprise for him from Driss.

Face up to reality, accept shortcomings, bid farewell to the past, and everyone will usher in a new future.

I hope people can survive.

The two are still close friends.
