It's a true story of a white billionaire, Philippe (François Croise), who is paralyzed in bed after a skydiving accident and needs to hire a full-day escort. Among the many job seekers, Phillips chose desis (Omar Sai), a black man who had just been released from prison, and these two completely different classes of people began their life story.
The movie "Untouchable" is adapted from this seemingly simple story, in addition to the original white caregiver replaced by a black man, the plot is not much moving, such a simple plot has been made into a touching movie, it is not easy.
The film adopts an interpolated narrative method, and at the beginning of the film, Desis drives Philippe on the highway, the unrestrained music echoes the fast speed, and the two big men have happy smiles on their faces.
When the traffic police stopped them, Desis immediately explained to the police that it was because there were patients in the car that would drive so fast, a meeting of eyes, Philip on the car immediately began to pretend to be sick, from this shot you can see the friendship between Desis and Philippe. Subsequently, the film officially enters the theme, starting from the scene where the two meet.
When philippe, a paralyzed rich man, sees compassion and concern in the eyes of others, he will feel that he has lost the meaning of being a human being, and Desis is the only one who treats him as a normal person, which is the main reason why Philip chose Desis as his escort.
Looking at the plot introduction of "Untouchable", people will simply think that this is another inspiring movie, but when they watch this film throughout the whole process, people suddenly realize that the film not only does not hype up the great truth of life, or even seriously tells some life principles, but only starts from the daily life between Philip and Desis, telling the precious emotion of friendship.
When Desis went to apply for a job, he wasn't as eager to get a job as other job seekers, he just wanted to get an unemployment benefit, so he acted very casually throughout the interview process and didn't see Philippe as a boss. In the eyes of ordinary people, Desis's job-seeking attitude is simply outrageous, but it is such a senseless person who is sitting in a wheelchair Philippe feels the joy of being a human being.
When Desis learns that he is going to wipe Philip's whole body and even help him put on his socks, he refuses and works diligently, and Desis's outspoken character is a bright color in the film. The title of the film "Untouchable" is like a narrative of the distance between Philippe and Desis, which is out of reach.
As a French warm comedy, "Untouchable" is a very pure film, unlike commercial films with various large-scale productions, and there is no exploration of the depths of human nature, it is just quietly telling stories. Although the story structure of this film is simple, it is this simplicity that moves people the most. The production cost of this movie is relatively low, but every detail in it cannot be ignored, especially the small laughs that pop up from time to time, which are natural and not embarrassing, and can make the audience really laugh.
Desis is like a funny person in the movie, although he is a tall and strong image, his lines are full of comedy, he is not highly educated, but his brain is turning fast, and when faced with Margaery's questions, he cleverly guides the topic to the music. And the line "Without arms, there is no chocolate" has become the finishing touch of the film.
At an exhibition, when Philippe exclaimed about a painting, Desis was ashamed to say that he could paint such a painting. It seemed like a joke, but then Desis actually picked up a paintbrush and started painting, and was eventually sold by Phillips for an ideal price.
With the promotion of the plot, Philippe's knowledge and life experience slowly affected Desis, and Desis's optimistic attitude towards life gradually opened Philip's closed heart, the relationship between the two is no longer just the relationship between the boss and the employee, they are more like each other's life mentors, and this friendship is also invisibly infecting the audience.
"Untouchable" is not the first film to feature two men as the protagonists, this kind of film will often gradually move to another style in the process of shooting, if the shooting intensity is not well controlled, then the film will move towards same-sex love.
Although "Untouchable" has been similarly questioned, this doubt disappeared after the film's release. People who have seen the film will not change the friendship between Philippe and Desis, but will see the idea that everyone is equal in their relationship.
In the real world, there are always experts who divide people into several classes, which is even more obvious in capitalist countries. Philippe was a successful man in high society, and Desis was an idle street thug who belonged to different social classes, but they were first and foremost a person, and there was no class distinction between the beauty of human nature.
In the film, the reason why the director will let the black actor play the role of Desis is also to face the social problem of racial discrimination, so this film with a little sadness is to show people friendship and love, which is the theme of "Untouchable".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="21" > respect is more touching than kindness and compassion</h1>
When we see a passerby with a disability in life, our best practice is not to look at them with different eyes, but to treat them as a normal person, which is the greatest respect for them.
In reality, there are always people who feel that they are saviors, hoping to help those with disabilities, regardless of their feelings, blindly donating supplies and disturbing their normal lives, which is the most undesirable approach, and sometimes respect is more touching than kindness and compassion. The movie "Untouchable" also tells us this truth, don't use your so-called goodwill to hurt others.
Because Philippe can only sit in a wheelchair, he can only use a larger nanny car when he goes out to check. When Desis saw the nanny car, he was immediately unhappy, and while complaining that the nanny car was too ugly, he lifted the sports car covered with cloth, and then let Philip sit in the co-pilot of the sports car, and they drove out of the sports car.
There are many such details in the movie "Untouchable", and others have changed his previous way of life in order to take into account Philip's physical condition, but these are not what Philip really wants, what Philip wants most is that others do not look at him with sympathetic eyes, hoping that others can treat him as a normal person. Thankfully, Desis appeared, and his presence made the smile on Philip's face increase.
In addition, the soundtrack in "Untouchable" has also gained a large audience, although the whole film gives people a slight sadness, but its elegant piano score is very emotional. When Desis arranges a date for Philip without permission, the music that Phillip and the girls play when they meet in the restaurant suddenly pushes the movie to a climax, and this music is paired with a seaside restaurant, giving people a sense of beauty.
France is a romantic country, France is a beautiful place, when the film uses an aerial lens to shoot the beautiful scenery, when the beautiful scenery slowly appears on the big screen, people instinctively will be full of hope for life. At this time, the camera suddenly cuts to Philip in a wheelchair, whose entire state has changed greatly from the beginning of the film, and his life is about to start again.
When Desis learns that Philip has a very happy girlfriend, Desis desperately tries to persuade Philip to pursue his love bravely and is genuinely happy for Philip. This is the charm of Desis, who seems unreliable, but he is extremely careful.
When Philip was sleepless all night because of drugs, Desis would take Philip out for a walk, smoke him, and even find someone to massage Philip's ears, which seemed like a daily life that Philip had not experienced for a long time, and these were the changes that Desis had brought to Philip.
When Desis learned that Philip was paralyzed by parachuting, he immediately took Philip back to his old place and let Philip fly into the sky again.
In the eyes of some people, Desis's crazy behavior is hurting Philip, but Philip does not feel this way, he with the help of Desis, he found the confidence in life, but also found his own life partner. Desis also learned the word responsibility in his relationship with Philip, and he finally chose to return to his adoptive mother and fulfill his responsibilities as the head of the family.
The interaction between people is like the encounter of two jewels, they will not only appreciate the glowing points on each other, but also help each other how to shine, the friendship between the two male protagonists in "Untouchable" is this truth, only by truly breaking the so-called worldly views, can we live a wonderful life.
Everyone has their own life movie, and "Untouchable" will be my life movie, which makes me really understand the way people get along with each other, and also understand the beauty of life.
