We always fantasize about making a local friend in our lives, have you ever thought about what the result of contact with people of different classes will be? Today's sharing fungus will explain this beautiful friendship story to you.
In 1993, when Philippe Pozzo di Borgo was quadriplegic in a paragliding accident, he was vice president of Berry Champagne, a subsidiary of moët Hennessy-Louis Vuitton Group (LVMH). As the heir of two major Families in France, he felt abandoned by society after the accident. The immigrant-born Aberdale became his "protective devil", guarding him for ten years, and the story of the decade can be described as a mixture of tragedies and joys. In his autobiography Second Breath, Philippe Pozzo di Borgo recounted the record of their lives for nearly a decade and used them as footage to form the screenplay for the film Untouchable.
In fact, before the filming of "Untouchable", there was already a documentary about this matter, "A la vie, à la mort", but the documentary was mostly based on oral narration, which was not attractive enough to the audience compared to the story deduced.
Intouchables is a drama film co-directed by Olivier Nakash and Eric Tolanda, starring François Kruce, Omar Shea, Angelini, Audrey Flotte, and others. The film was released in France on November 2, 2011. The film tells the story of Philippe, a nobleman who cannot take care of himself, and his servant, the young black Dreys, who help each other.
The film makes certain changes in the character setting, the immigrant Aberdale can be seen as a Caucasian in the above figure, but the film chooses to set the "male servant" as a black man in order to more intuitively express the difference between the class and culture of the two characters, and the role of PhilipPe Pozzo also emphasizes the aristocratic identity rather than the rich man in the film, reflecting a cultural conflict between elegance and vulgarity.
Released in 2017, the film "Untouchable", adapted from the French film "Untouchable", tells the story of a wonderful friendship between Philippe, a rich man who was unfortunately paralyzed by an accident, and Dale, a poor young man who took care of his life. Directed by Neil Borg and starring Brian Cranston and Kevin Hart, the film adds more American elements and comedic effects to the original French film.
It is still recommended to watch the French version of the film, which is more artistic in comparison, which has won the Golden Globe Award, the British Film Institute Award, the French Film Academy Award, the European Film Award, and the Spanish Goya Award. And the film has a high public evaluation, and the box office also surpasses the classic movie "Angel Amelie".
One is Philippe (François Croce), a wheelchair-accessible tycoon with limited mobility, and the other is Derrys (Omar Hee), a sincere but foul-behaved black lad who is now Philippe's "maid" and takes care of all his food and living. On the surface, there is arguably no similarity between Philip and Dreys, whether it is their life background or status, which are basically two completely opposite extremes. Philip liked classical music, often listened to opera and symphony, could gaze at a fine art work for hours, and pursued platonic feelings with pen pals; Drees liked rap to not appreciate classical music at all, and the pursuit of girls was also rude and embarrassing.
But even so, the two men have established an unstable but rising friendship, all based on sincerity, confession and humor, and Drees is bold and avant-garde, not at all scrupulous because of his own identity, and has the courage to put forward his opinions on the issues of the education of the children and the love of the boss Philip, even if it will offend the boss. It was this sincerity that impressed Philip, the employer, and Philip, through his connections, sold Dres's random paintings and solved Dres's family problems at a high price.
In the process, they all underwent an unprecedented emotional baptism, and at the same time forced them to re-examine the meaning of life and love. At the end of the film, Drees helps Philip take a step towards love, forcing him to meet his favorite pen pal, and eventually Philip remarries and has two children. And the process of their contact also allowed Drees to find the goal of struggle, started his own entrepreneurial road and set up his own company, married and had children.
The film allows us to see that as long as people interact with each other with simplicity and enthusiasm, it will bring benefits to both sides, the class level is not a barrier to restrict people's interaction, barriers exist in our hearts, I hope we can all meet sincere friends to accompany us along the way.
