"Pragmatique/Pragmatic"

The Intouchables is a french comedy about the relationship of a french handicap wealthy millionaire and Senegalese ex con caretaker. The film explore racism, wealth and love. Besides the popular reception in Europe the film it's been praised by the audience in America but not so loved for the critics.

My personal impression is the movie was good and touching, and any case long, this is one of this movies that I will enjoyed it was two and half hours of situations. The performances are powerful, the actors teach you a lesson of human spirit and hope. There is nothing that a human cannot experience if you don't try.

Besides the terrible comparisons or similarities with films like The Diving Bell and The Butterfly and other films about handicap the movie try to express with joy and fun the life of two different characters that connect just with one single word in the film "Pragmatique/Pragmatic".

The soundtrack is marvelous and create an environment for both scenarios, sometimes bring ambivalence to the Paris getho using Vivaldi to Earth Wind and Fire to a wealthy mansion on a elegant Parisian neighborhood .
