There are many black people in France, and they are very black African blacks. The living conditions of black people shown in the film have a basis in reality. I don't quite understand why there are more black people in the circle of black people who are ignorant when they are young, become a gangster, have nothing to do, and then give birth to a lot of children and watch them go their own way again. A rather sad way of life. Not racially prejudiced, blacks in colleges actually have the lowest grades, just like we have a policy of bonus points for minorities. But blacks are extremely gifted in music, dance, and sports. I really like watching Driss dance, it's full of energy.
The film's Driss is optimistic, humorous, kind-hearted, but somewhat rude and petty, growing up in a poor family. His dynamism and sincerity stand in stark contrast to the hypocrisy and rigidity of the upper echelons. Driss's humor brings joy to Phillippe's hopeless life, and it's a heartwarming film with lots of laughs. It is not quite the same as the completely joking and exaggerated style of "Escape from a Tiger's Mouth". But in this film, Phillipe is a very rich man. How many disabled people have such a good situation?
Another great thing is that the opening song of this film, September performed by Earth, wind and fire, is very exciting, and watching Driss and Phillippe racing happily, the two of them shook their heads and listened, which made it even more exciting. Very happy to find another nice song from the movie.
btw: I also like Earth, wind and fire, another song After the love has gone, which is also very nice.
-----------------------
Postscript: Changed the rating from 4 stars to 5 stars. I've been listening to this song since I discovered September, and it's my favorite single that I've been listening to for hours on end in a long time. Also, every now and then I have the thought of wanting to watch it again, which is already up to my 5-star standard. So nothing to say, I must add stars, I think it's the humor and warmth of the movie that caught me.
