The French film "Untouchable" is based on a true story, telling two people who seem to have an insurmountable gap, but eventually become irreplaceable best friends in their lives. The film is a feature film co-directed by Olivier Nakash and Eric Tolanda, starring François Kruce, Omah Shee, Angelini, Audrey Flott and others. The film was released in France on November 2, 2011.
The film tells the story of Philip, a nobleman who cannot take care of himself, and his life assistant, the black young Dreys, who help each other. Philippe, a wealthy skydiving enthusiast, was paralyzed from the neck down by an accident, so he hired a full-time escort with a high salary, and among the many candidates, he unexpectedly chose an inexperienced who had just been released from prison. The people around him did not understand, and the answer he gave was: he always forgot the fact that I was paralyzed, and I wanted such a person, no pity, no special treatment, no discrimination.
Philip and Drees have a lot of differences, Drees does not understand why Philip would rather spend a lot of money to buy a painting that seems useless, but they are very close, Drees takes Philip to drag the car, bets and tricks the police to lead the way for them, smokes together, learns to deal with the illness, daily care, Philip takes Drees to enjoy various musical theater art exhibitions and concerts, takes him to skydiving, Drees begins to take care of Philip with ease, they become friends, life is alive, confidants are rare, Fortunately, they met each other.
Such two people with very different backgrounds, the division between master and servant, but unexpectedly get along well. When he fell ill in the middle of the night, he pushed him out the door and shared a cigarette in the street. Bet together, acting tricks the cops into leading the way for speeding them. Hide from everyone and go skydiving in the mountains and enjoy the sense of conquest of the beauty of the earth from above. He helped him break the paralyzed inferiority complex and successfully embraced the beauty.
This true story was later adapted to the screen and became the French box office champion that year. Such an old-fashioned story is made interesting, real, natural and moving. I think that if the background of this story is the national home country, this may be the case: unclothed service, self-sacrifice, tolerance of all the bad faults and bad tempers of the patient. The emotion in our dictionary is often defined in this way, becoming a fearlessness that transcends human nature and transcends the world. However, in this movie, life and death are no longer tear points used as gimmicks. In the limited time of life, I would rather be unbridled with my heart than beg for help from others like a dying person at any time, which is a kind of respect and respect for life. It has nothing to do with touching, although it makes the people who watch it feel warm all the time.
In the second half of the film Drees also has a life of his own, he returns to the home where he needs him and starts looking for a job. So Philip changed to another caretaker. The professional caretaker who was always cautious and explained to others with "he is sick" when he had the slightest problem made his heart grow older day by day, and he missed the friend who played with him, went crazy with him, and even joked about paralysis.
In this story, the brilliance of human nature shines not between them, who has made greater sacrifices for whom, but only in: you give me the quiet and dignity I want, and I give you the recognition and promotion you want. Their knowledge, identities, and status are very different, but they have an unprecedented attitude at this point: don't use the kindness you think to make the other person grateful.
Why can they transcend the class to become spiritual confidants, and even if they later have their own lives, they still come and go. Because, they read each other's goodness. More because they see each other first as a free person with an independent personality, and secondly as a friend. Anyone who uses affection as a chip and wants to control the freedom of the other party's personality left and right will inevitably end up destroying that affection.
In addition, there is also an American version of "Untouchable", remade in 2017, and released in China in 2019, interested friends can enjoy it!
