Eric Toledano and Olivier Nakache use their film The Intouchables (2011) to manipulate their audience in relation to a contrast between a stereotypical black and white social class. The directors cast Omar Sy as Driss, who is of Senegalese descent, since he is in stark contrast to his employer Phillipe who is a white French aristocrat. This film is based on a true story and the individual who was originally Philippe’s caretaker was Abdel Sellou and was of Arabic ethnicity. Omar Sy is of Senegalese
“‘Ohana’ means ‘family’. ‘Family’ means ‘noone gets left behind’,” is the famous quote from Lilo and Stitch that perfectly portrays the movie The Intouchables. The theme family is shown many times in the movie The Intouchables. It is first seen when a man, named Driss, is hired to care for a paralyzed man and they develop a bond that cannot be broken. It is also seen between Driss and his step-brother. Although these are the main portrayals of family, it is also seen with Driss and his coworkers
Have you ever had a really outstanding friend? Well, in the movie The Intouchables the main characters Driss and Philippe are the best of friends. They are the almost perfect example of what friends should be like. In this movie a major theme is friendship, and this is shown through how Driss and Philippe can say anything they want without the other being mad, are willing to do almost anything for the other, and how they are always looking out for one another. Being a great friend involves many
The Intouchables Is a film about an unlikely friendship between Philippe, a highly affluent quadriplegic, and Driss, a Senegalese immigrant who lands a job as Philippe’s live-in caregiver. The characters friendship arises despite the vast class chasm between them. I think the film title is aptly suited, the Philippe and Driss’s friendship seem almost unrealistic given class differences, the age gap between them, opposite personal interests, and differences in physical capabilities, however, none
the misfits in it. It will be divided into two main parts: part one will be the movie of Intouchables which is one of the most successful movie in the French history based on a true story, part two will be about the short story of Filles du bord de ligne, a story about two girls trying to find their place in a new country, in a new culture and be a part of a completely different world. The
with a slice of action is the perfect combination to make a hit film and Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano certainly delivered with their film Les Intouchables. Screened was the story of a quadriplegic millionaire, Philippe, and his unorthodox choice of a caretaker, a directionless ex-con named Driss. The comedic and touching french film Les Intouchables provided great insight on risk, trust and friendship by showing how they impact people and their lives by bringing two unhappy souls together to make

Mobility, as a theme, is central to the plot of Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano’s 2011 film ‘Les Intouchables’. Although from different backgrounds, the two central characters are both, in their own way, immobile. Driss, played by Omar Sy, suffers social immobility. Living in the banlieues of Paris (an impoverished and often ignored area, the name for which has become ‘pejorative, meaning slums dominated by immigrants’), he has many social barriers which he must transcend. The immobility of
learn, every single day. From that perspective, I will compare two movies that shows some kind of growing within masculinity in 21th century. Les Intouchables shows the process of growing up as being responsible for another person, while Once Upon A Time shows the process of growing up by understanding another’s emotions, which suggests that Les Intouchables claims that the process of growing up is a development that is being forged by a contemporary society with different social classes, while Once
