The movie The Intouchables talks about the friendship between a rich and educated
patient who is paralyzed and his caretaker. The caretaker, Omar, is an immigrant and does not
have the qualifications required or an interest in the position. One would expect two people who
are worlds apart in terms of their background to never get along. However, as we see from the
film, overtime the two of them develop a unique bond. From two contrasting starting positions
their friendship emerges based on humor, witty conversation, and, mutual understanding.
By watching this film, I was able to learn that no matter where we come from or what we
believe, if we are open and understanding towards other people, there is opportunity for great
relationships to form. I really like the landscapes from the film and thought that the
cinematography was great. I liked the cast of the movie and the fact that they kept it simple.
