My
cousin Mala has been trying to get me to see this French movie The
Intouchables for years now. It stars François Cluzet as Philippe who
is a very rich quadriplegic that is looking for a new helper since
they don't tend to last very long due to all of the responsibilities.
In walks Driss played by Omar Sy. He is just showing up to keep his
welfare coming. He lives at home with his mother and a bunch of
children and was recently released from prison.
Driss
has no real desire to be hired and just wants them to sign his papers
to keep getting his checks. Driss ends up getting kicked out of his
mothers home and when he comes back the next day and finds out he is
hired. He was the only applicant that didn't treat Philippe like he
was handicapped. Driss gets him high, jokes with him, makes jokes
about him, and just acts like he's any other person. Except for the
butt wiping. He doesn't want any part of that.
