      Emmmm

      Untouchable tells the story of people from two different worlds saving and making up for each other. Just like the skin color of the two protagonists, Dale has lived in black since he was a child, while Philip is white, and the two different worlds have an unspeakable wonder. This film is somewhat idealistic and beautiful. It keeps some coincidences and characters' mentality within reasonable proportions, which makes people feel ideal and convincing at the same time. It's really beautiful,...

      Still pretty good. 4 points were given.

      I have no intention of brushing on The upside today.

      The film is about the process of two extremely different personalities, Philip and Dell, from confrontation and conflict to mutual encouragement and mutual achievement. It's an American-style movie, with a lot of moving and humor, but it's also a bit cliché. At first, I thought it was a bit similar to the Green Book. It was a touching process in which the intense opposition slowly merged into love. After watching the whole film, the...

      The Pursuit of Happiness

      What is happiness? I think happiness is having water to drink when you are thirsty, and clothes to wear when it is cold. There are many people who have spent their entire lives searching for happiness, only to find that there is nowhere to be found.

      At the beginning of the film, a black man drives fast and nimbly on the street, so it naturally attracted the attention of the police. When he was chased by the police, Dale explained that it was because the old man in the car had an...

      Lifetime series

      I just finished reading the green book before watching this movie, and I feel that it is a bit similar in purpose. It is a story of two people who have basically no intersection and meet each other in their lifetimes. The fit between this kind of soul makes people feel very warm. What kind of friends to choose, what kind of friends I need, this is my biggest consideration. I have my own shallow insights into life at every stage, so I like to record them in the form of film reviews. Watching...

      meet

      A classic remake, the same storyline, re-interpretation by different people with different emphases and different expressions, but for some reason, there are more imitations in my mind, or the first step touched my heart too much, too So deep that I always see the shadow of the first step, the expression of anger, the expression of joy, the expression of unrestrained freedom, and what I feel most is the performance of doing my best and hoarse, but not showing and...

      The original is better and can give 4 stars. This is too obvious to please the audience, the black caregiver is going to be vulgar, go to bed with shoes on, act rashly, listen to pop music and dismiss the highbrow music of another male lead......

    Evaluation action

    "The Upside" has a very relaxed humor, and the creation of the jokes comes from the character and motivation conflict of the characters. Although Kevin Darnell Hart is short in stature, he has a strong personality. This is the first time that he has starred in a movie with a softer and more realistic performance method that is different from the past, and the result is also gratifying. Bryan Cranston performed equally well. In addition...

    Movie quotes

    • Yvonne Pendleton: Why do you need a signature?

      Dell Scott: I don't need a signature. My PO needs a signature. As a matter of fact, you should put your number down here just in case she wanna phone or check in. That way, it look like I did what I said I was gonna do. And if she asks, just say an extremely attractive candidate came in here, but y'all weren't looking for a supermodel.

      Yvonne Pendleton: I'm sorry, who might phone?

      Dell Scott: My PO.

      Yvonne Pendleton: PO?

      Philip Lacasse: [staring at Dell's eyes] His parole officer.

      Dell Scott: What's that look about? Don't judge me. I ain't judged you.

    • Dell Scott: Look, I think your plantation is bananas. But unfortunately, I don't wanna be nobody's servant. So how about you just sign my paperwork, and I'll think about your offer, okay?

      Philip Lacasse: Well, we can't sign papers saying that you're looking for work if you're going to turn down the work I offered.

    • Latrice: I'm done, Dell. I can't. Out. I don't wanna see you and neither do Anthony.

      Dell Scott: That boy need me. He need me to protect him, because people around here eat boys like that for lunch.

      Latrice: How you gonna protect him if you ain't never here?

      Dell Scott: You're asking me to leave.

      Latrice: Because I can't count on you.

      Dell Scott: What do you want from me? Hmm?

      Latrice: Now? Nothing. What did I want from you? Everything. Help, support.
