Thought-Provoking

Rating: 9/10 (26 May 2014)

This film is incredibly thought-provoking. The story features two very different human beings from very different environments that cross paths and discover a treasured relationship in the making. Philippe and Driss have two very different lifestyles - one a healthy, young man, the other a tetraplegic, aging man. Through the story-telling of these two soul-mates, the film studies the nature of human relationships and how this particular relationship brings two opposite personalities together to make each other happier as they learn about one another. The Intouchables made me think about my life from a broader perspective as far as my own environment(s), strengths, weaknesses, and abilities. I highly recommend this. Omar Sy's character is golden and he performs it with top quality.
