Finally a twist to race relations!
21 March 2014
I have been so annoyed by movies about miserable black people from the ghetto who are transformed by sweet, gentle Caucasians. Finally, the roles have been reversed! Finally the media is graced with a movie about a miserable Caucasian who is transformed by a sweet, gentle black person from the ghetto. I love to see the underdog maintain a positive outlook, a childlike exuberance, and an optimistic approach that is contagious. Yes, "The Blind Side" had a similar theme, but "The Intouchables" supersedes it, because a black person from the ghetto does not need to be mentally delayed to have a good heart. I recommend this movie to all those who don't mind reading captions for a good story. The acting was phenomenal and the fact that it is a true story just enhances the beauty of this movie.
