Philippe Pozzo di Borgo, vice president of the Boury Champagne Company under the Moët Hennessy-Louis Vuitton Group.
He ran out of money, but in 1993 he broke his vertebrae in a paragliding accident and paralyzed from head to head, thinking that his life was completely destroyed, but the appearance of a man made him strong to survive.
This man was his caregiver, Abdel Celho, for whom Philip wrote an autobiography, Second Breath, detailing the story between him and Abdel Celho.
After the autobiography was published, the stories of Philippe and Abdel Celho touched many French people, and the TV station wanted to bring their stories to the big screen, so a documentary about them was released.
Directors Olivier Nakash and Eric Toledano had the idea of making the story into a movie after watching the documentary, and in 2011, the movie "Untouchable" was released.
Philippe is played by French star François Kruce, Abdel Celho is played by black star Omar Hee, no one expected a black and a white person to play the friendship, until 8 years later, still famous around the world, the domestic Douban score is as high as 9.2 points.
The movie opens with a midnight drag racing scene.
Desis carries Philip to be corrupted by the police for speeding, and Desis pretends that Philip is seriously ill and needs to be admitted to the hospital as soon as possible.
The police really believed him, not only did not issue a ticket, but even drove the police car to open the way for them, and the tacit understanding between Desis and Philip made people can't help but have a strong interest in this black guy and paralyzed white man.
The camera returns to when Desis was just released from prison, and in order to get government relief, he needed a certificate signed by his employer when he applied for a job, while Philippe, who was paralyzed, was looking for a caregiver.
Desis sat next to a group of candidates, he looked less stable in casual clothes, and Philip took a fancy to him, because Philip felt very inferior to his disability, he did not want to be regarded as disabled, so he treated the nurse very harshly, so he often changed the nurse.
And Desis is the most suitable person, he comes from a violent neighborhood, casual and unruly, he does not care whether Philip is disabled or not, he only wants to get an autograph from Philip and ask the government for unemployment benefits.
These qualities made Philip have a strong interest in him, so he ignored the opposition of the people, and did not want those professional nurses with high education and experience, who had to persuade Desis to stay with high salaries and mansions.
Desis was rude and arrogant, but in his eyes, the paralyzed Philip was no different from a normal person, and he did not have the slightest pity or discrimination against Philip, and sometimes he even forgot that Philip was a disabled person, he never regarded Philip as a patient who needed special care, and his duty was to make money and help Philip through the difficulties.
Desis made Philip's mansion his home, sometimes inviting dancers to party in his room;
He looked at Philip's immovable lower body, and suddenly wanted to take the boiling hot water and pour it on his leg to see how he reacted;
Philip could not be stimulated, but when Desis saw the family's luxury car, he forced Philip to move up and came to an exciting drag race.
Philip enjoyed his time with Desis, whose arrival rekindled his passion for life, he once again got into a sports car to go racing on the streets, he once again smoked a cigarette on the deserted street, he once again tried a paraglider that almost ruined his life, and he once again plucked up the courage to pursue a pen pal who had been communicating for 6 months.
Philip most wanted to be respected by others, not pity, and he resolutely kept Desis by his side despite the opposition of everyone, not caring at all about Desis's dark past.
Philippe is also changing Desis little by little, he taught Desis to control his emotions, follow the rules he should have, and let him enjoy the influence of art, thus stimulating his potential in painting.
Philip is no longer the street gangster, he will severely condemn his brother when he sees his gang, at this time he is a self-motivated young man who is willing to use his own value to improve the quality of life.
Desis had been with Philip for ten years, and when the two were intimately acquainted, Philip suddenly asked him to leave because Desis needed to return to his own world.
After leaving Philippe, Desis found a new job, got married and had 3 children.
After Desis left, Philip began to relapse.
In the end, it was the old friend who accompanied him, and with de Heath's encouragement, he finally met the pen pal he wanted to meet but did not dare to see, and the two began a new life, while in reality, Philippe remarried and had two daughters, and he and his wife lived in Essaouira, Morocco.
The friendship between philippe and Abdel Serro has lasted for more than 20 years and has touched the world.
In 2011, "Untouchable" swept across Europe as a dark horse, costing only 11 million, but it grossed $430 million worldwide, winning the main competition unit award at the 2011 Tokyo International Film Festival, where François Kruce and Omahe shared the Best Actor Award.
