An unbeautiful and impaired person produces a very beautiful and warm story. The charm produced by this tension is enduring. I believe this film will stay in my mind for a long, long time.
It is difficult for French films to make people feel superficial. Just like this film, a handicapped person, the French are concerned about the impact they bring to the world, this is civilization. GEORGE was created by God on the eighth day to remind everyone of the nature of human life. Just like DH Lawrence believes that returning to nature can return to life, what GEORGE tells everyone is that returning to a pure state of life can restore humanity that has been distorted by industrial society.
GEORGE is fortunate. Born in a civilized world, he can enjoy the freedom and dignity as a person. At the same time, GEORGE is unfortunate. Like most people, it has the limitation of life itself. In the process of breaking through this limitation Battered all over.
