For Desis, a Senegalese immigrant living in a slum, it is too common to play tricks on two traffic police officers, and even adrenaline will not increase secretion. But for the wealthy Philip, this is a rare experience. For him, a diamond king who is always in the upper class, he is a little bit arrogant, and it is earth-shattering.
In the early years of watching "Driving for Miss Daisy", the old black driver played by Morgan Freeman and the white stingy old woman played by Jessica Tanney eventually forged a friendship that transcended skin color and class; In "Unreachable", De Heath's meaning to Philip is the same-black immigrants work as caregivers for white rich men, and the elements of dramatic conflict between character settings are self-evident.
"Unreachable" is adapted from a real story. The popularity of this type of subject matter in France also reflects that racial segregation is becoming a hot topic in contemporary French society. The turmoil of the general election really humiliated the whole of France; and at the Cannes Film Festival four years ago, the French local film "Between the Walls" won the Palme d’Or. Multiculturalism and ethnic conflicts/fusions reflect the real situation of the entire French society.
"Unreachable" cooked a pot of rich French soul chicken soup for the audience. In the film, De Hess and Philip encouraged and helped each other, and finally both reaped their own happiness. The comedic elements of the film are mainly derived from the “snobisme” (snobisme) shown by the proletariat represented by the staid and hypocritical Philip under the impact of the unscrupulous gangster proletarian Desis—for example, contemporary art. Teasing. From this point of view, "Unreachable" is a bit similar to "Huan Zhuge Ge", Philip is like the aloof "Imperial Arma", and De Heis is like the little swallow who broke into his "Royal Palace" mansion, Tong Speaking unscrupulously, facing his desires, smashed the shackles of Philip's life.
The most prominent feature is the topic of "sex." Desis is young, strong and vigorous, and he salivates at Philip's glamorous female assistant when he comes in. It is not until later that he realizes that the beauty is gay, not to men at all. interest. And De Hess asked Philip's sexual problems and invited sex workers to give Philip a massage, which further demonstrated De Hes's "humanity" side-in De Hes's view, "the law of heaven" is obviously for Philip. "Human Desire" serves.
The story between master and servant is very common in recent Chinese and foreign film circles. In "Peach Sister", Andy Lau and Ye Dexian performed a master-servant's year-end friendship. It is worth noting that there is also one in "Peach Sister". The role of the elderly in buying spring. In fact, both the elderly residents in the nursing homes and the paraplegic disabled Philip have revealed an important question-how to protect the sexual rights of disadvantaged groups?
Of course, France has French national conditions. In "Unreachable", sexual services are allowed, but the film does not stop there. When De Hess learned that Philip was in a spiritual love with a strange female pen pal, it was him. Encourage Philip to take courageous steps and calmly face his crush lover. Therefore, the purpose of the film is to call for true love-the disabled also have the right to sex, just like the elderly.
The music of "Unreachable" is very beautiful, and the film does not have any special effects, but under the narrative of the arrival, it presents a warm and touching story that is refreshing. This film can win the 2011 French box office championship. It is the two characters-true love.
