Intouchables Review

The Intouchables was a great movie that displayed an amazing friendship despite the different social class between Philippe and Driss. It was a touch warming movie that can bring joys of tears to anyone's eye. For me personally I loved the movie and would give it a 8 out of 10. The Telegraph gave a great review on the movie. They did not praise the movie to be something it wasn't but also they did not criticize it as if the movie was garbage.

Telegraph conveyed the theme of the movie very well. Their review touched on the movie's theme which is give a man responsibility and he will act responsible. I believe that they were right in saying that this was the theme of the film. Once Driss got the chance to prove that he was a responsible citizen, he took it and proved to everyone he can be relied upon despite his past. I got a very optimistic message from Telegraph's review of this film. They had nothing but positives to say about the humor between an ex-convict and a person with paralysis. I do believe that was the intention of the film maker to show that although we may come from different social classes in society, that shouldn't hinder a friendship.

Telegraph's review is exactly like my opinion of this film. It was made to help break the divisions between the different social classes that we have in society. This movie did an excellent job in being an adaptation of the true story because the true story is all about a strong bond between two men and The Intouchables depicted that picture crystal clear. I believe that Telegraph did an amazing job in their review on the film The Intouchables that would make anyone want to see the movie. They were not to harsh or to nice, their review was perfectly in the middle.

My Toronto Has Failed Me

      

      

      Growing up in the Jane and Finch area comes with many social stigmas and misconceptions. People often view Jane and Finch as a poverty stricken neighbourhood that isn't the safest place to walk at night. I beg to differ; living in the so called "hood" for18 years of my life hasn't been a nightmare. My community has taught me about the different social classes in society and how one must conduct themselves to be a successful citizen. Of course my community does live up to some of the stereotypes that are associated with it but trust me it isn't that half bad.

      I believe that my community has the resources to help people live a better life but it's the choice the people of the community make. Some see the resources around us but still do not use it. My parents took advantage of the free after school programsand summer camps to help my brother and I have the experience every child should. My community has set up open gyms to help kids do something during their spare time instead of being on the streets. There are organisations such as tropicana that help youth in the community get jobs so that they do not need to sell drugs to get money. My community does have the resources to help anyone succeed in life but it is the choice people make to take the initiative and get the help.

      As a results, I believe my community did not fail me. Both my mom and dad are accountants and have a well stabled job. My parents were able to buy a house and pay off our family car. My brother is now in his 3rd year of university at York with a job at the airport and he owns his personal car. I'm now on my way to graduating high school and going on to university in September. Me growing up in the community I did was the best thing that happened to me and shaped me to what I am today.
