What is it that the movie "Intouchables" cannot touch?

“I originally thought the plot of this movie was fictional, but I didn’t expect it to be based on a true story.”

Art comes from life. If you don’t watch this movie After checking the relevant information after the movie, I may not really be able to believe that this movie is an adaptation of a true story.

This "Untouchable" is a French film directed by Olivier Nakash, adapted from the autobiography "Second Breath" of a French millionaire, directed by Francois Starring Kruse, Omar Sy, Anne, Audrey Float and others. The film is adapted from a true story.

The beginning of the movie is a scene where a black man drives a white man in a sports car and drives a vicissitudes of life on the road, and the two people also make a bet to get rid of the police. If you don’t understand the movie at the beginning, it may be true. One would mistakenly think this is a drag racing crime movie. When you see the end of the plot, you will know what the beginning scene is about. The use of this flashback technique can be seen in many movies.

As the plot develops, you will learn that this film tells the story of a rich man, Philippe, who was paralyzed in bed due to a skydiving accident, so he needed to recruit nurses to help take care of his life. Because of this accident, Philippe became a bit difficult to deal with. Many nurses would leave after less than a week, but it happened that Driss, who went to receive relief just to receive receipts for being rejected for three interviews, was attracted by Philippe. And was finally hired.

In our normal thinking, Driss should not be hired. Compared with other applicants, he really has no advantages in skills or academic qualifications. He is more like a dirty-talking guy who does nothing. Gangster. From the subsequent plot, you will slowly learn that Philippe wanted to give Drris a chance to try it out because he showed no mercy or sympathy. Seeing this, I suddenly felt that maybe many times we When facing vulnerable groups, do you just feel the need to sympathize or pity them from your own perspective, but does this remind them all the time of their misfortune as a vulnerable group? Perhaps what they want more is to be treated as equals. What they need is not our sympathetic and pitiful eyes.

The subsequent relationship between the rich man Phillipe and the poor Driss allows us to see that these two people who were not originally from the same world can get along so harmoniously. The high-society life that Phillipe leads is probably a life that Driss has never thought of, and indeed cannot understand. Seeing the costumes of opera actors, Driss is like watching a clown performing a comedy; Phillipe spent 4 After buying a simple painting collection for more than 10,000 euros, Driss thought he was too crazy; while eating at a high-end restaurant, Driss said he wanted a hot apple pie because the chocolate cake before was raw and cold, but he thought it was okay. It was quite delicious. Seeing this scene, Phillipe smiled happily, but it was definitely not a joke. Philipe wanted to relax and take Driss on his private jet. Unexpected, Philipe asked why there were no other passengers. These all remind me of the saying "It is poverty that limits our imagination."

We often say that people with different views cannot get along, but when you see these two people with such different views getting along so harmoniously, you can see Phillipe laughing at the opera when he saw Driss The actor laughed heartily at his funny looks, and it can be seen that Philipe can tolerate Driss's unsympathetic jokes towards him.

There is a scene in the movie that I find very interesting and ironic. It is a painting that Driss scribbled on one day. Philipe successfully sold it to his friend who looked down on Driss for 11,000 euros. . What this made me think about is: many things are not inherently valuable, but people give them value. Just like the person you love, it’s not how good he or she is, but how you plated him with gold. At any time, there is no shortage of people who love vanity. Some people can save money for a few months just to buy a luxury product to show their difference and nobility. There are also people who can apply for N credit cards to enjoy the so-called petty bourgeoisie. Life, in fact, no matter what kind of life it is, you need to know that you must be able to support yourself before you are worthy of living that kind of life.

If a rich man wears an ordinary watch, you will feel it is so different. No matter how much gold is inlaid on the poor man's watch, you will not feel that kind of temperament.

People may be like this. After living in an environment for a long time, they will feel a little boring. Even a rich man like Philipe is like this. If he hadn't met Driss, he might really not be able to understand the other side. A kind of joy of living. You can see many small details from the movie. In fact, Philipe envied Driss. For example, his neighbor often occupied the parking lot in front of his house. Once Driss found out about it, he directly and rudely dragged him out of the car. Looking at the no parking sign on the wall, no one has parked in front of Philipe's house since then. The gentlemanly and elegant Philipe should never be able to do this. For another example, regarding his attitude towards love, Philipe is so literary and artistic that he can only communicate through letters and poems, but Driss is so direct and bold that he has no scruples. He makes no secret of his love for Philipe's butler, and his teasing and confession are also very direct. Once he really couldn't stand Philippe's literary dictated letters to Eleonore, whom he had a crush on, so he helped Philip dial the other party's phone number. At first Philip refused extremely, but later the contact letters turned into phone calls. This reminds me of a scene in which Philipe met with Eleonore later, but in the end he was not confident enough and left early. Philip thought too much about the right things, but Driss was so straightforward.

Later in the movie, Driss's brother came to see him. Philipe heard the conversation between the two, and then he had a communication with Driss. In fact, Philipe had adapted to the days of getting along with Driss, but he He felt that Driss should not just stay with him like this and not be able to have his own life, so he persuaded Driss to return to his original home, and Driss did the same. Later, when a new caregiver took up his post, Philip discovered that it was really difficult to find someone who was so compatible with him. He couldn't understand everything about the current caregiver, and he couldn't communicate with the current caregiver. Afterwards, the situation became more and more vicissitudes. Feeling much older and not as good as before, Philipe's housekeeper finally informed Driss. The two were extremely happy to meet again. Driss took Philipe for a ride in Philipe's Maserati. This was the scene at the beginning of the movie, and the next day Without Philip's knowledge, Driss arranged for him a date with Eleonore that Philip escaped last time. Finally, Philipe saw his favorite Eleonore smiling happily. He then looked out the window at Driss who was watching him. Driss smiled at him, waved goodbye, turned around and left, which was inexplicably touching. Maybe only in this way can he leave Philip with peace of mind, because he knows that finally someone can take care of Philip on his behalf.

Two people who were originally unrelated, and whose backgrounds were so different, met and got to know each other. At first it seemed so out of reach, but in the end I found out that we are so connected. Maybe in many cases we don’t always have to judge people by their appearance, and maybe in many times we don’t have to push too hard on fate. Everything is so natural, one day someone will touch you, and one day you can touch others.

Maybe in reality we think that these two people with different backgrounds are really out of reach, which makes the friendship between them so precious. So maybe many things that you didn’t expect happen every day. May you treat life sincerely and treat everyone who deserves your treatment sincerely!
