I think it's hard for an american to understand how much French culture there is in this movie. A lot of time you seemed shocked by the dialogues but there is no flaming or moking him. He's just being himself; a street guy talking to a rich man.
it's just humour, no bad intentions, I think Philippe being intelligent guy really appreciated Driss's attitude, he didn't treat him like an egg but like a full-fledged person. I love this movie, great story and ESPECIALLY no cringe dialogues.
A huge hit in Europe, this one. And deservedly so. Saw a few interviews with the real life Philippe. A great guy. He died last week, aged 72. Rest in peace. Foreign Film Friday might be a good idea. There's more than just Hollywood.
As usual for American remakes of French films (with exception of a very small handful,) the remake messes up just about everything that's good about this film.
One of the best movies I've ever watched! Isn't this the best example that there's more than Hollywood? We can make good movies, too, us Europeans, right? I think so. Merci beaucoup pour ce chef-d'oeuvre, la France! Very kind regards from Germany.
Historically I would even go so far as to say that the only reason why Hollywood became the worlds foremost moving pictures entertainment industry is the 3rd Reich. Because all the good german artists and film-makers fled the Nazis and went to L.A. Without the 3rd Reich, UFA in Berlin would now probably be the place where the center of the film industry would reside.
@@TheBlackManMythLegend Il y'en a si beaucoup de merveilleux films francais, par example "Monsieur Claude und seine Töchter (Originaltitel: Qu’est-ce qu’on a fait au Bon Dieu?" ou ""Birnenkuchen mit Lavendel", der Originaltitel lautet "Le Gout des Merveilles" ou "Die Kinder des Monsieur Mathieu (Originaltitel: Les Choristes)" ou "Diva" ou .... il y'en a plus! Moi j'aime le cinéma francais. Meilleurs souvenirs de la Sarre, du Sud-Oust de l'Allemagne 👍
I took care of my disabled grandfather for years, so this movie and their real live stories mean so much to me. It's one of my favorit movies of all time and greatly underappreciated. More people should watch this ! Thank you for this awesome reaction :)
imagine u made a perfect movie..and after some years hollywood is comin " oh no, we can do it better"...the original is one of best movies i have ever seen
The original Driss is a Algerian man named Abdel. He stayed close friends with Philippe who married an Moroccan woman and lived in Morocco for the rest of his life. He just passed in June 2023.
This is probably one of my favourite movies, my dad wanted to see it with me, and I agreed, expecting it to be a boring movie, but ended up being one of my favourite movies that I have ever seen.
I think this film is surely one of those that will put it in the list of the best French films of all time. And about the controversial discussion... there is no discussion, there is no controversy but only americans on need to understand the second degree and something else than their own story (yup ! there is a world outside your borders). Nice reaction :)
34:10 Nia Maki: "I love those quick jump cuts from when he's like 'Nah, I'm not doing it' to like the disgruntled look." 34:17 Nia Maki: *looking at paragliding* "Oh heck no! You can't pay me enough to do this!" QUICK JUMP CUT to Nia Maki in the air paragliding.
For the thing you didn't got at 4:16, in france people who don't have a job still get money BUT you must prove you are searching for a new job. That's why he came, he wanted a signature to prove he wanted that job but didn't care at all, he only wanted the financial help
this is a masterpiece... this movie was the reason i fell in love with classical (instrumental) music. still to this day i listen to soundtracks in this movie.. ''Una Mattina'' song is my favorite.. imo music tracks in the movie elevates the emotions to a whole another level.
This is one of my favorite French movies ever! Used to watch it a lot with my family when I was younger. Not many people where I'm from know this movie exists and I for sure did not expect any channel to react to it! It's a pleasant surprise.
A great movie choice ! Of course, sadly the subtitles doesn't translate as best the dialogue's intentions (they deleted the 'bad words', expressions, the 'vouvoiement' like the spanish usted, which is used instead of a simple tu, references, etc etc). But it's really a nice-easy-to-watch movie. You probably have a long to-watch list, but if one-day you want to see another French movie, here's a few list of cool ones : Thriller : "Grave" (2016) Excellent animated movie about one's youth in Iran : "Persepolis"(2007) Indie movie street life in 90s France : "La Haine" (1995) Absurd movie : "Mandibles" (2020, any movie by Quentin Dupieux is awesome and quirky) Classic old school buddy movie : "La Grande Vadrouille" (1966) All nice movies for each of their styles !
Not so hidden it was a big hit in europe😭and the top movie in france, the joke "pas de bras, pas de chocolat" ("no handy, no candy") is still an iconic line we use 12 years after (a little less than when it was out but it's like a big reference now)
"Bittersweet" suits this movie perfectly. The 2 main characters are so raw. One deflecting with cynicism and the other with humor and somehow by interacting they reach a middle ground, some balance.💙
"benefit" is like some sort of foodstamp (521€) the french government gives you if your are unemployed and looking for a job, if you don't prove you've been actively trying to work you don't get any.
I’m surprised you’ve tackled this and impressed in your attention to the clash, like fingernails on a blackboard, of cultures. Once getting past the initial confusion, the subject of this film is unique, but wears the badge of honour about people becoming a part of new families. As you experienced, the blood flows faster and the warmth of the story increases to the very end. Consider Amélie (2001, French) and Chocolat (2000, not French but set in France). Pick a cold night and let these gems warm your heart. As with all recommendations, check these with a trusted friend.
There is no puritanism in France, thankfully. So, sex jokes, being direct with women, cannabis, and Hitler jokes are just fine. Plus, since adds for lawyers are illegal, nobody ever consider filling lawsuits for any such thing. I don't know anyone who ever filled a lawsuit for anything. This actually allows more freedom in speech, especially in media like cinema. This freedom is threatened these days, though.
I love so many things about this movie. The actor who plays Driss, Omas Sy, also played in ''Demain tout commence'' and stars in the Netflix series ''Lupin'' which are both awesome. There are so many excellent french movies. Look into it.
He was also in the first Jurassic World movie, which was one of two highlights for me. Didn’t know he was in it, either, so I got a very nice surprise in the theater.
i was a projectionist when this came out in europe. it screened for 9+ months, the longest of any film i've known. in european terms a major hit. it bombed heavily in the US tho, even the american remake
I remember when it came out in Italy.. and all were talking about it in a positive way like at the time was a 10/10 film . At first i was sceptical about it.. i wasn't a big fan of EU films, but at the end iv watch it and damn 10/10
So great someone from the States reacted to this awesome European movie!! Actually, there are far to few reactions to this movie, so thank you very much! I hope others will follow your example. By the way: I have to mention the beautiful music by Einaudi in this movie. Thanks Beyoncé 😉 and warm regards from the Netherlands !!
Glad to see someone reviewing a non-anime, non-English language movie. For more French language films try Amelie, Jean de Florette, Monsieur Hire, The Hairdressers Husband. Or if you want a brilliant and criminally underrated action flick, Le Pacte des Loups. Trois Hommes et un Couffin, Taxi and Le Cage aux Folles all had English language remakes and they could be good to compare...
I just noticed how they changed the names of some famous people that were mentioned in the movie, like comparing that white guy with George Bush instead Raffarin. They tried to adapt the names, to famous people American people would know.
I'm so glad I've found this video and your account : I've never seen anyone react to French movies before and this was really great to see you discover this amazing movie ! I just saw that you also reacted to Amélie, so I'm gonna watch this one asap too ! Thank you so much for the French people watching those kind of videos for having decided to try out French movies 🥰
Being french I love to see foreigner reactions on french movies and I understand for you sometimes you get confused This is why when I watch american movies or series even if I don't get it the reference, the joke or even the culture I try to keep my mind open even if sometimes it's difficult for me
I didn't know the version with Kevin Hart was a remake! I loved it because of how I relate on a personal level to some of it. I will definitely watch this version now
@@anaritagomesbarbara174 it's a classic movie from us french. If you saw the movie " Dead poets society " it's kind of the same vibes. If you want a more " girly " movie, watch " Tout ce qui brille " one of the main actresses is the sister of one of the directors of " Intouchables ". And if you want more humor, watch " Asterix et Obélix : mission Cléopatre " or " Sur la piste du Marsupilami " (same director)
Love everything what Omar do. Back when hardly anybody know him. This is amasterpiece and of course he did aswell as anybody who work on this milestone in cinema. Omar was have to oversell it a bit, to get the balance the quite, not even moving co-partner. Love for life from coming from shit vs. have everything but happines. In cinema 30+ years, only the French can do this. So well balanced between chees/cringe call it it what you want and humor and drama. It is a very very fine line and keep on moving on it the hole movie is one of the hardest work in this art style.
The sentence "no hands, no chocolat" is pretty used and well know now 😂 This movie as be really, really liked in France ❤ It's talk to the heart and soul of many people, and the poor like the wealthy. And it's... Real. I mean it's not useless drama, or forceful twist. There are something true, as much as the way the actor play it. As the story is build. It's often crude, or even crass. But it's not cruel or malicious. It's only joking and dare to said the things. Some will find it's hurting ? Yet in reality it's saying "your human, your a guy, I respect you. You are not some brittle thing I have to take care." It's respect... Even if yes, I understand many will have a hard time to see it and understand it for what it is 🤔
Thanks you for your video. I'm french and it's the first time that I see someone watching a french movie. I've also Seen your video on Amélie Poulain. Two great movies.
Great movie and great reaction. Thanks for a good cut also, 'cause those types of movie are hard to keep on youtube with good portions of reaction. I can't believe I didn't know Ludovico Einaudi before this movie. The piano help immensely set the tone and gravity of the topic and matches well with the top layer of humour and gags.
In the same idea, try "A Prophet" (2009). This movie was like a shooting star, a precious oddity coming from nowhere. It's as if in a world without tennis would appears the big 4 (Federer/Nadale/Djoko/Murray) in their prime, in the same tournament. This movie is the same, the actors are nobodies but act as big shots, they are so good it's unbelievable for a french movie.
If you’re a ready for a totally mind altering, world shifting, chaos reigning movie, please watch Incendies. It’s an amazing story based on real historic events in Lebanon and won multiple international awards but it’s an actually devastating movie. You won’t cry but you’ll definitely have your core shaken.
I'm glad someone is mentioning this movie ! I was indeed "shaken" after I finished it, that's really the word. It haunted me for weeks after that. I watched it several times again throughout the years. It's always a powerful moment. I would say "Incendies" is one of my favorite movies. It feels sort of weird to say "favorite" with the subjects this movie tackles and its tone, all of it being serious, deep, dark, tragic etc, but it's just an excellent movie. It's definitely among the movies that left the most memorable impression on me. I can't forget the story and what it deals with because the acting was top notch, the story was very well written (and the music/bgm is as excellent as the rest). It's one of these rare movies for which I can't find any flaws. Sadly too few people talk about it or even know about it. It deserves to be known and talked about.
thank you Nia Maki , with the time the intricate power hidden in this film, on what is really important in life. a feel good movie for sure, and lot more thank you
Merci beaucoup mademoiselle d'avoir réagi à ce film si émouvant. Ce film obtint le César (l'equivalent de l'Oscar Américain) du meilleur film de l'année et l'acteur Omar Sy reçu le César de meilleur acteur de l'année pour ce film. J'ai passé un agréable moment grace à vous. Encore merci. Thank you very much.
Great reaction! I subscribed and I'm gonna watch your other stuff now ;) Another great French movie: Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis. It's absolutely hilarious. I'm not French, but that's my fav mainland European movie. For the UK I really recommend the "Cornetto trilogy": Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead and The worlds end. I would start with Hot Fuzz :)
It's horrible to feel like a victim and thinking yourself as damaged goods. But this movie shows that things do get better if you get out of that mindset! I think of them on most of my days.
I came for Omar and found your cute lil self, awww girl ❤ great reaction. Followed on IG too. I'm a mixed girl, Black but sub the Japanese for white and indigenous. And i'm either infj or infp... Who knows...
The two directors of the movie did another with Omar Sy and the woman who interview him (the one with Dali's painting) on it years before, " Nos jours heureux " who takes place in a summer camp

It's one of these rare movies for which I can't find any flaws. Sadly too few people talk about it or even know about it. It deserves to be known and talked about.
thank you Nia Maki , with the time the intricate power hidden in this film, on what is really important in life.
a feel good movie for sure, and lot more
thank you
Loved the movie, such a wholesome friendship between them!
I love this movie. I've watched this at least ten times. Greetings from Finland.
Merci beaucoup mademoiselle d'avoir réagi à ce film si émouvant. Ce film obtint le César (l'equivalent de l'Oscar Américain) du meilleur film de l'année et l'acteur Omar Sy reçu le César de meilleur acteur de l'année pour ce film. J'ai passé un agréable moment grace à vous. Encore merci. Thank you very much.
This movie deserve 9.0/10 on IMDb, super underrated
I am glad you watched this movie ,I am a French myself ,its a great movie😊
Omar Sy is really good in Netflix's Lupin series too
Love this movie! So glad you got to experience it. There is a Kevin Hart remake, but pails in comparison.
The upside was horrible, i don't understand why they can't dub the original for the people who hates subtitles.
So glad you did this movie, especially the French version which is my favorite, i just love this movie:)
it was an amazing movie!
The French version is the original version
This was the first movie i watched in 2014..i am T2 paraplegic since 2014...it helped me !
Thanks for reacting to this film, its an old favourite of mine :)
such a wonderful feel good movie!
the music in the movie is outstanding, the piano songs are by Ludovico einaudi.
the greatest French sentimental film
It is absolutely necessary to watch the filmography of the directors (Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano)
The Specials, C'est la vie!
11:15 Frenchman here. No, not all of us smoke here. The gesture you did is a stereotype that doesn't match with reality, but I get that was the joke
I’m french and happy for this react! 😃
omg was a French Girl i'm so happy to see someone react to it
The paragliding flight was directed towards my home in Savoie France
Great reaction! I subscribed and I'm gonna watch your other stuff now ;)
Another great French movie: Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis. It's absolutely hilarious. I'm not French, but that's my fav mainland European movie. For the UK I really recommend the "Cornetto trilogy": Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead and The worlds end. I would start with Hot Fuzz :)
I love The Upside, the remake of this movie…unpopular opinion, apparently…but the original, man…I LOVE the original! Omar Sy is amazing.
Really love this movie!
Me too!!! All the feels in the end!
Excellent video, thanks from France 🙏
And great movie.
Probably one of the best French movies l have watched. Up there with "Brotherhood of the Wolf"
I love this movie so much
LOVE YOUR REACTIONS!
I watched this on Netflix some years ago. It’s a great foreign flick ✌️🔥
Best réaction you have beautiful soul and as we say in French «vous êtes rayonnante »!!! Thanks ! The real Philippe died the 1 June 2023 RIP😢 !
This is way better than the remake with Kevin Hart....
It's not about the pay, it's the humane connection!
Un film très émouvant.
This movie incredible popular in Russia
The real Philippe is dead last year 😢
11:12 Me, a Frenchman, lighting a cig as you said this. Yup, you got a point lmao.
ah, the movie every person in the world has to watch for french classes in school
I missed out on French class!
It's horrible to feel like a victim and thinking yourself as damaged goods. But this movie shows that things do get better if you get out of that mindset! I think of them on most of my days.
I came for Omar and found your cute lil self, awww girl ❤ great reaction. Followed on IG too. I'm a mixed girl, Black but sub the Japanese for white and indigenous. And i'm either infj or infp... Who knows...
The two directors of the movie did another with Omar Sy and the woman who interview him (the one with Dali's painting) on it years before, " Nos jours heureux " who takes place in a summer camp
Je regarde ce film chaque 6 mois , j’adore ! ❤
Pareil, l’un des films les plus touchants je l’adore 😍
