Blog #7; My new favorite movie

Hello, everyone. I'm Makiko. Today I want to strongly recommend my new favorite movie.

That is…

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Intouchables.” The Japanese name of it is “最強のふたり Saikyo no futari.”

It is a very beautiful French movie about a friendship between a very rich cultured old disabled guy, Philippe, and a young poor uneducated guy, Driss.

I’d LOVE to explain the detail of the story more, but for someone who haven’t seen it yet and fancy to watch this movie after reading my post, I won’t tell you the detailed story ;)

Instead of telling you the story of it, I’m going to tell you my favorite points of this movie.

1. It is a FRENCH movie.

It is just my taste, but I love the sound of French. Only hearing the beautiful pronunciation of French makes me feel happy enough.

 

2. No sympathies or pities.

One of the main characters, Philippe, is a disabled guy. His brain is fine so he speaks normally (,he often makes cool jokes,) and he sees normally (he’s an art collector.) But his body is paralyzed due to an accident so he can’t move any parts of his body except his head. Most movies whose main character is someone disabled include scenes in a hospital and make people feel pities and sympathies. But this movie is not. It’s just so funny and happy. You can even laugh out loud at jokes about the disability! The secret of it is I think because Driss, the young guy, doesn’t have any pities. He’s really fair. He won’t compromise with Philippe’s disability.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. This story is based on a real story.

At the credits roll of the movie, you can see lasting story of the real version of Philippe and Driss.

 

I’m not the person who say “this is the best movie I’ve ever seen!!!” or something easily, but I can say that this film has written on my list of most favorite top 5 movies. I’m going to see it again.

If you have seen this movie, tell me. Let’s share the feeling and talk about it!
