Intouchables

Intouchables is a 2011 French comedy-drama film directed by Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano. The film is the second biggest box office hit in France; it is also my favorite comedy. I regard myself as a person who always laughs out loud. But before I watched this movie, I didn’t think that I would laugh during the movie because the main character, Philippe, is a challenged person. However,what Philippe and his personal assistant, Driss, did to the police was beyond my expectation and was amazing

It is a story about a man, Driss, who only wants to get the subvention of unemployment. But

things were not going as he 

expected,

 in one of his interviews; the boss, Philippe, admired him and gave him a well-paid job. The job is to take care of Philippe who had no feelings except for his head. The reason why Philippe chose Driss was that Driss thought of Philippe as a real human, not a disability.
I regard it as my favorite comedy because it is a tragedy in my first sight. However, Driss’s action in the movie is so crazy that I would never do it. Driss’s help was not only funny but also touching. I also bought the original novel. Hope that it would be as great as the film.

These Years

I know it’s not proper to talk about romance in our homework. But seeing that this is my blog, I think it is okay to write about a book I like. This time I write about a Chinese novel because I didn’t read any translated fiction this and last months. The biggest problem when talking about a Chinese novel is I don’t know how to call it. So…… I just give it a simple name” These Years.”

Not to let you down after reading my post, I need to tell you the truth. “These Years” is not“These Happy Years”. If you like happily ever after, I think you best go to someone else’s blog instead.

“These Years” is a story talked about a girl’s student life. From her miserable elementary school to better junior high and to the glorious senior high. The book shows the change of the girl, and the things she got and lost.

It’s not easy to read this book. “These Years” is usually in a blue atmosphere. When I read a chapter, I must take a rest. Due to the sadness in this, I often feel gloomy. But this is the best book I’ve ever seen that meet the reality so pertinent. I’ll read it again and again to make myself recall that the world is not a fairy tale.
