Intouchable

Watched this yesterday and was giving me glimpse of life. Life is short, and may be imperfect, wealthy not healthy, healthy not wealthy, and how these two type of people get in touch with one another in a butler-boss relationship.

Story starts with a boss named Philippe (starred by Francois Cluzet) had put up an interview session getting a servant for himself. He is a wealth, but physically disabled man despite gaining much of the nobility. He had made himself paralyzed from neck to whole body, except the head due to the lost of her wife and the guilty over the 5 times of miscarriage of his wife. He relies on medicine and people to take care of him every move. The butler, rather could be called as a caretaker had been selected among the interviewers whom are mostly educated and hoped for service, money from this job. He, Driss (starred by Omar Sy) is a low-status man whom had just came out from prison and wanted merely a signature to claim for money. He has been taken as he was the one with straight to the point person, with good sense of humor, loves music and lack of ill-intention although he had been investigated secretly by the other servant. 

These two type of person is totally different in economic status, as well as characteristics. Philippe is a tolerable and well-tempered man, while the Driss is a bad-tempered and violence man. However this encounter had made them changed, Driss infect the man to be spontaneous, out-going and shifting the taste of art from bored music (classical) to dancing music. Philippe once brought Driss to gallery and starred at a picture for an hour (described as a nose blood spurring picture) and bought it for 450000 dollar. Driss has learnt that art could bring money and he eventually tried out painting for once and gained 110000 dollar which was sufficient to his living. The real reason of the old man upon selecting and reliable towards Driss is that he pays no sympathy to the old man and is treating him as normal person who even occasionally jokes on him. Driss brings a spur to Philippe's life, introduce him smokes, massage, car racing, and most importantly the life partner (pen-pal) by making them on a date while Philippe exposed the man with art, classical theater music, and parachuting.

The two man cast in this movie had taught me that despite the incomplete condition that one may have in life, we need to enjoy and be contented. Sometimes we need bad influence to neutralize the old-fashioned and disciplined life, which I had lack of this spontaneous spirit. Despite the story line, I was amazed by the smile of these people, especially the Philippe (Franchois Cluzet), he was so handsome, gentle and well-played in the emotion aspect, even with only face acting he was suffice to kill me~!

For this life ever, I wish I could try on parachuting and experience an exciting event in my life^^
