\"\"<\/a>You ever watch a film and just can’t stop laughing and feeling alive from every interaction between the characters; such is the case with a wonderful French film entitled “The Intouchables.”\u00a0 You can view a preview of the film here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The film has a wonderful cast with might I say a most adorable sexy leading man, Omar Sy who plays Driss as well as stars Francois Cluzet.\u00a0 Francois Cluzet plays the\u00a0role\u00a0of Philippe a paraplegic who is looking for a new caretaker.\u00a0 He is wealthy beyond measure but lacks “life” until he comes upon Driss who changes his world forever.<\/p>\n

The film is based on a true story about\u00a0Philippe Pozzo di Borgo and his caregiver Abdel Sellou who are still to this day good friends.<\/p>\n

The story shares of\u00a0so many themes centered around love, life and the meaning of companionship.\u00a0 Both men gain from their friendship and their lives are changed forever.<\/p>\n

What I took most from the film is how\u00a0relevant one’s perspective is to one’s circumstance.\u00a0 When Driss walks into Philippe’s life he does not treat him like a cripple, he treats him like a man.\u00a0 He\u00a0does not bow down to his ever need and adds light and laughter\u00a0by bringing Philippe in touch with himself and the joy of living.<\/p>\n

I came away from the film hopeful and inspired to make the best of every day with the appreciation of life itself.\u00a0 I appreciated that every circumstance has within it a gem of light, an opportunity to\u00a0build our love for ourselves and the life we\u00a0share with others.<\/p>\n

Hope you enjoy the film as well.<\/p>\n

In health,<\/p>\n
