The Intouchables (2011)

The Intouchables Trailer

This is a French movie about the unlikely friendship developed between a millionaire and an unemployed young man who becomes his caregiver.
It reminds me of Driving Miss Daisy (1989) which is also about the unlikely friendship between an old lady and his driver. Both movies juxtapose the conflict between the protagonists' different social classes.
It is always cathartic to watch movies which the uptight character has a character arc, and becomes more open and liberal to people from a different background; while the lower-social-class character slowly earns the respect from other people.
