Friendship across races

"Untouchable" reminds me of another popular movie last year, "Green Book", which is all about race, discrimination and friendship, and the protagonists are two men. There are two men in the green book, black people are pianists, but even if they are elegant and well-mannered, they are still discriminated against. Even if he personally doesn't eat fried chicken, it is not because fried chicken is not delicious, but because fried chicken is a label of black people. and characteristics. A white man is a driver who deeply discriminates against a black man. Both stories start with job applications, and it seems that job applications have become a channel for connections across races. After applying for the job, the male protagonist of "Unreachable" hired a black man. I think he hired him at first because he felt that he might have no sense of responsibility and would not care about his life or death, because at the beginning, he asked him Did you know that inaction can cause death? However, the black people obviously did not want to give up this job. Slowly, the two men untied each other's heart knot and found their true love. The story is touching, not because of the ups and downs, but because it can put aside the inherent discrimination, go deep into human nature, and explore the truth, goodness and beauty. This is an adaptation of a real event, so it has to be moved. The preciousness of a noble soul lies not in its appearance, not in its wealth, not in its social resources and contributions, but in whether a soul can make selfless devotion and help another soul without tint.

    Compared with the original version, the film just makes the story more in line with Hollywood's conventional narrative, more witty words, more deliberate conflicts, and there is no blank space for the delicate story in the original version. Of course, this movie is not bad, but with the original version of Yuzhu in front, it feels like a cat and a tiger no matter how you shoot it.
