Chapter 1508: Because it is untouchable, it is untouchable
There are many interpretations of "The Intouchables" because Li Yi shot the French version. Compared with the American version, the French version of the film is better in this way. Whether it is inspirational or cruel reality, it can be
Speak it in an understatement, so it doesn't feel like you are using too much force.
The movie does not overly show what a disabled person, such as Philip, is like after he has no feeling from the neck down.
It's more of a side view.
And often, as long as many movies are about people with disabilities, they will inevitably break up and crush the cruel reality to show it.
But "The Intouchables" does not, which is why this movie stands out. There are so many movies of the same type, why is this one the only one known as a classic?
Of course, this style cannot be suitable for everyone.
As the film critic said in the review: "
People who like this film see race and class, friends and confidants, respect and equality.
People who don’t like this film will see an inflated reputation, boring laughs, and an emotion that is difficult to resonate with.”
Some people like the black character Driss.
"What impressed me most was "expression without restraint".
Whether we are in front of powerful people, in a magnificent environment, or in a solemn atmosphere, we will always control our words and deeds to make ourselves appear appropriate and befitting the occasion. We will do
They say a lot of duplicitous things in order to please the outside world. Some people will restrain themselves to please their bosses, family members, friends, fans, and even passers-by.
One of the main characteristics of Derris, one of the male protagonists in this film, is that he can express his true self without restraint.
Yes, he is vulgar.
Yes, he is very ignorant.
Yes, he is very uneducated.
Perhaps it is precisely because of his semi-wild state that he can ignore the unspoken rules of society and express himself as he pleases. After all, this is a marginalized person, a group that lives on the margins, and many of them have nothing to lose, so
There is nothing to worry about.
If a person associates with you not because of your money, reputation, status, power, blood, or out of pity, sympathy, charity, responsibility, morality and law, but just because you are you, then that is probably the best situation.
Some people saw this movie and thought it was too fake, maybe because this kind of acquaintance, mutual respect and sympathy is so incredible. A person who was raised and raised by no one when he was young, became noble decades later because of a brief relationship.
, this is indeed incredible.
But in fact, do we really understand people like Derris? I don’t think so, because we always have a natural filter for people like Derris.
Of course he's not perfect, he's vulgar, and he's ignorant, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have his shining points.
Anything that is too perfect will become out of reach.
At the beginning of the film, there were many certified personnel applying for the job of wealthy nursing staff, each showing their talents. Driss, who had no qualifications, only had the opportunity to sit on the bench. After waiting for a long time, even the people who came after him were interviewed one after another.
Still not summoned. So, he rushed in and said, "I don't expect you to hire me. Please sign my rejection so that I can receive relief."
He didn't regard his potential employer as an employer at all, and he expressed his thoughts directly without the slightest sympathy... Such a period of entanglement gave him a trial opportunity.
He doesn't know modesty, etiquette, and doesn't have ideological baggage based on his own class; he has his own wildness, racing like crazy on the highway without a driver's license; and he is full of justice, and when he sees others parking their cars indiscriminately, he just goes up and hugs them with old fists
.However, as the saying goes, rudeness is the passport of the rude, and his method, which is primitive and barbaric enough, is actually very effective in a civilized society.
For him, if he likes a woman, he can just invite her to bed and take a bath together. Why waste time teasing and flirting? Like Phillip, he talks to women in writing and doesn't even dare to make a phone call. In his eyes, it's not so much about spirit.
"Elegance" is better said to be a kind of perverted cowardice.
These ideas are also vividly displayed in his nursing work.
He is very disgusted with bathing, enema, and wearing stockings. He thinks it is degrading to manliness. If you are not nursing you, you have to be humble. In fact, many times, those who do nursing, don’t they hate these things? But they don’t
Like Derris, he will be outspoken; at least on the surface, he will look hardworking and conscientious, but in fact, he may have scolded him countless times in his heart.
He pushed Philip around the cold streets of London late at night in a wheelchair. No one in normal care would do this. They would only think that it would be risky. This is not their job. This is asking for trouble;
It doesn't matter whether he is healthy or unhealthy. He gives the paralyzed patient cigarettes as long as the patient wants to. But the certified and experienced nurse behind him will only say, "You can't smoke, you can't do this, you can't do that." It seems that he is doing it for his employer.
Okay, but it completely ignored the employer's last wish.
During the concert, he ignored the opinions of others and unscrupulously mocked the performance on stage. He would not pretend to understand;
He laughed at the lifeless classical music at his employer's birthday party, turned on the original heavy bass of a small speaker and jumped, making the whole audience agitated along with him;
After seeing the "old blood painting" that was bought at a high price - a painting made by spitting out blood and falling on the paper, I came back and painted it myself, and actually sold it at a high price with the help of my employer, which was extremely ironic.
It can be said that Philip's disabled body still shows the taste of the elite. Even in a wheelchair, he is faster than a normal person. However, under the control of Derris, the layers of hypocrisy are torn apart;
In return, he forced Derris to go skydiving, take a private jet, and do adventures and challenges he had never tried before.

In Philip's eyes, Driss's strengths sparkled like gold, and he was humorous, frank and innocent, reflecting the innocent side of human nature. Looking back on himself, although he had everything created by civilization, he lacked two things: vitality.
and vitality.
In the eyes of Driss, Philip is full of love and loyalty, sincere and passionate, but suppressed by various factors. He has always hidden his cowardice and longs for love, but he dare not touch it again. His love can only
Hidden in gorgeous poetry, I didn’t even have the courage to send out a photo of my life after my disability, so I replaced it with a photo of my health when I was young. As expected, when I was dating, I ran away because I was afraid of losing my love in the light of day.
He escaped early.
At the end of the film, Driss helped them reschedule a date.
The camera zoomed in, and Philip's eyes with tears and laughter, and the slightly twitching corners of his mouth vividly conveyed the tension and joy of his spiritual lover sitting in front of him. I saw that there was truth and hope in his eyes, which also meant that he
Finding a new meaning for disabled life, facing reality, everything is prelude.
Going back to the question we asked at the beginning, the protagonist Philip gave the answer: "He always forgets the fact that I am paralyzed. What I want is such a person, no mercy, no special treatment and no discrimination."
In other words, perhaps, when we make strict choices, we realize that the only thing we can accept is the true human heart.
Even if the world goes through vicissitudes of life, may we remain warm and true people.
One good thing about "The Intouchables" is that it does not make a value judgment on vulgarity and elegance, does not deny Philip's elegant hobbies that require spending money, and fully affirms Derris's worldly happiness, so
The two did not have conflicts because of their different hobbies and tastes, but instead became a catalyst to enhance their relationship.
Similar to this kind of friction between vulgarity and elegance, it was even more brilliant on Philip's birthday. Driss commented on the passionate Vivaldi "Four Seasons-Summer" and said "I don't feel anything";
"Cello Music" is regarded as the familiar background music of coffee advertisements; the brisk and soothing "Four Seasons - Spring" by Vivaldi is regarded as the prelude to the call from the unemployment benefits center.
What Derris represents here is that large group of people. On the one hand, they disrupt social order, but on the other hand, they have never received the attention and respect of society.
Driss's departure brought Philip's life back to its original shape. The new caregiver also kept a distance from Philip, and Philip once again closed his heart.
Generally speaking, when we encounter this kind of black and white movie, we will say that it is tainted with political correctness, but in "The Intouchables", we don't think so, because the touch and happiness it brings have already made
We have no time to imagine the words political correctness. Relaxation, happiness, warmth and friendship are the most distinctive features of this movie.
And that’s exactly why we love this movie!”
As for the role in the movie, Philip, played by Fiers, also received a lot of praise and love.
"It's hard to imagine that the actor who plays Philip in the film is really a high-ranking paraplegic rich man. However, it's no wonder that he can match the image of a disabled person in any related movie I have seen in the past.
Say it's completely different.
He is a proud man, successful in his career, and talented. However, after experiencing this accident, he cannot live as freely as a normal person.
But this does not hinder his elegance that is always engraved in his bones.
Many of us have noticed Darius and thought he was so different, but we have ignored the role of Philip.
This is a really, really, really special role.
What's special about him is that he can truly treat people of any color and class equally. He is a rich man himself, but he treats people like Driss who are from the bottom, and in many media reports, they are even regarded as scum of society.
He is a person who is synonymous with purity, but there is no condescending look down on him or any discrimination. It is precisely because of Philip's attitude that the following story came about."
"Untouchable" exploded!
To be honest, it was not only beyond Dean Pictures' imagination, but also beyond Li Yi's imagination.
He was surprised. You must know that although the original "Untouchables" received a lot of box office around the world, it did not perform so well in the North American market.
Of course, it may have a lot to do with the language, but even though the American version of "The Intouchables" has grossed over 100 million at the box office in North America, it can't be said to be a hit.
But this version of "Untouchable" by Li Yi broke out.
People who like this movie, they have many reasons.
As mentioned above, some people like the gentle and silent friendship shown in the movie, others like Derris, a vulgar, ignorant, but straightforward, and righteous black guy, and some people like Philip, who always
A gentleman who maintains elegance, even if he is sitting in a wheelchair, he still feels extremely elegant.
There are also people who like movies with a touch of humor that is different from Hollywood movies.
Others like the warm feeling of movies.
"One person is outgoing and confident, while the other person is introverted and has low self-esteem. On the basis of real life, looking for the beauty outside real life. Such experiences and emotions can teach people to die without regrets. Perhaps each of us,
In fact, we all have shortcomings of one kind or another, and at the same time, we also have some shining points, some potential that we ourselves cannot discover, just like the expressionist painting of a black guy actually sold for 11,000 euros. In two days,
Between these seemingly opposite classes, everything blended together harmoniously. Both people changed. When the black guy was interviewing for the new job, and when the middle-aged gentleman sat in a seaside cafe to meet the girl,
All of this is spread out in an extremely beautiful state, giving people a warm sense of happiness.
Facing such a film, all explanations are redundant. We just need to sit down quietly, enjoy it quietly, and then reap the peace deep in our hearts."
"Why am I moved by this movie? It's not the soundtrack, it's not the acting, it's not the coolness of the mansion and the sports car. It's that he told a very simple truth. Maybe the movie itself was beautified, and black actors were specially used to emphasize the culture.
Differences and contrasts in various aspects such as class. However, its warmth lies in always saying one thing - the beauty of a life's existence comes from the meaning given to you by another life. In this bread, it has invaded the love.
In the years, his appearance gave him the beauty of life, which was the light of life."
"Sometimes, when a person's thoughts change, everything is completely different. But when a person's thoughts change, it is just a sense of humor. It is too late to laugh at others, and the joke itself misses the point. It's a joke. Derris
What Philip brought to him was just such a kind feeling. The sense of humor that had been lost due to paralysis caused by a skydiving accident was picked up bit by bit because of the appearance of a gangster. For Philip
He lost all feeling from the neck down, and all that was left was a long string of numbers in his bank account and some untouchable sense of humor.
The best thing about this black and white pair is their sense of humor. Finally, where are the people who can understand my jokes and respond appropriately? The so-called true friends are nothing more than that."
