He meets a photographer (Steve Buscemi) who spends his time in search of celebrity appearances, which he swiftly captures then sells to earn a buck, used to life on his own and a rather ornery set of rules, he takes young Toby in and sets him up as his assistant.
As Toby's introduced to the long hours of the paparazzi, he tries his best to ease his benefactor's troubled mind, at times breaking through the multilayered masochism, to placate his cantankerous sadospurious vengeful bitterness.
Mr. Grace is a solid character oft maligned for its gentle trusting, and natural sympathetic instincts, and resonant altruistic charm.
He lacks competitive calculating individualistic self-promotion, and has no time for guts or grievances, he's inherently non-violent.
He's more concerned with friendship than relationships or ownership, and can forgive grand impositions without foolishly giving in.
Delirious is quite romantic as Toby suddenly succeeds, yet still caught up with hardboiled dissonance as his jealous patron won't forgive him.
I suppose the grass is greener and many people covet wealth, but isn't it also important to chill and not concern yourself with opulence.
I'm afraid I tend to see jealousy as an inhibiting destructive force, which slowly leads to spiritual ruin if left unchecked in freeform dissolution.
When you detect that people are trying to make you jealous, ask yourself, are these people good friends?, there's so much wonderful friendship out there with people who don't try to make you jealous.
Sometimes people share things without intending to show off or brag, they simply just like sharing things and don't see the harm in doing so.
The world does seem to be caught up with jealousy though, and as it blindly promotes incoherence so much innocence is lost.
You can preserve such innocence without getting duped over and over again, the two don't go hand in hand, Toby's actions offer a clear example.
Although ridiculous at points, Delirious demonstrates compassionate understanding, goodwill productively materialized, which even brought a tear to me eye.
Taking out your own shortcomings on others is as impractical as it is dispiriting.
Better to slowly walk away.
Let them find others who prefer that kind of thing.
