Why are you dismissive of black people in Out of Reach?
Out of reach is adapted from the autobiography "The Second Breath" of a French rich man. In fact, literally, there is a second life implication. I just watched it again and felt deeply.

Out of reach 20 1 1 released, adapted from a true story. Philippe, a French rich man, was injured by skydiving in bad weather, and the third cervical vertebra was injured. He could only move above the neck, and his lower body was paralyzed. He needed personal care from his assistant all the year round. There are many applicants, but the black Driss seems to be the most hopeless one, because he is illiterate, has a bad record and has just been released from prison.

Driss, a black man, also thought that he had no hope, so he cut in line and rudely asked the other party to sign his name and refused to sign it, so that he could receive unemployment benefits. Maybe Philip has never met anyone with such a personality. He thought it was very interesting and gave him a chance. From then on, the two became good friends, and Driss encouraged Philip to move towards a new life.

Driss, a black man, had a restless younger brother. He didn't go to regular school, skipped classes and helped other black people drive Mercedes to sell drugs. Once that man Driss went to the police station to bail out his brother, and his brother immediately ran into the drug dealer's car.

In the second half of the film, Philip was originally arranged to meet his pen pal, but he wanted to avoid it in his heart, for fear that the other party would lose this friend when he saw that he was disabled. Driss took him out to play, only to find his brother's arrival when he came back. Driss was angry and helpless. Philip saw his situation and knew that he needed time to solve the problem, so he fired the black Driss. In fact, they are tacit to each other.

After the black Driss left, he solved his brother's problem and took care of his mother, while Philip returned to his previous life. Everyone treated him with respect, pity and fear, which made him very uncomfortable. The reason why he likes black people is-"He has no sympathy and called me more than once". Philip is no different from normal people in Driss.

Fortunately, at the end of the film, Driss, a black man, returned to Philippe to help him take care of his life again, encouraging him to face his pen pal and welcome his new life optimistically.
