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,
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.
I watched this movie before!! It was undoubtedly funny and touching. I thought it was a sad and serious movie in the beginning, but it turned out to be so clever when Philippe and Driss tricked the police to escort them to the hospital. I just burst out laughing too! When Driss went to museum to watch a painting for hours and when he listened to opera, Philippe just couldn’t understand his point of view. That part was also amusing. Another hilarious scene was when they were having a massage. Philippe was massaged only on his ears since that was the only part of his body that could “feel”. XD This movie is really worth recommendation. After you read the novel, I would like to ask you more about the story in the book. Thanks! :)
