One of the most iconic paintings today is considered a film called "One Plus One." The actors of this film were able to convey to the viewer the mountains of positive and good mood, despite the dramatic situation presented.
A few words about the plot
The story begins with the search for an assistant for the oligarch named Philip. As a result of unsuccessful paragliding, the man was completely confined to a wheelchair. “1 + 1” (“The Untouchables”) also tells the completely opposite story of a young man named Driss, who has just been released from prison. Surprisingly, Philip decides that Driss is the only one who can cope with the difficult task of caring for a sick person.
As a result, as shown in the movie "One Plus One", the actors demonstrated real friendship and conveyed a good mood to the audience. Throughout the entire film, the characters get into funny stories and troubles, so I want to watch this picture again and again.
Driss is a local ghetto
One of the main roles in this film was played by actor Omar C. It is important to note that he was invited to shoot long before writing the script. Among the best paintings, where the actor took part, worthy are “Chocolate”, “X-Men”, “Four-wheel drive” and so on. Today, Omar is 38 years old, and a young man lives in Trappe, France.
The film “1 + 1” (“The Untouchables”) was remembered by the brilliant play of the actor. The charismatic Driss won the hearts of millions of viewers. Omar Si played a simple guy who had just been released from prison, looking for work and did not want to live off his foster mother. Staying in an endless search for wages, he randomly gets an interview with Philip, who sees a complete lack of pity in a paralyzed body - just what the oligarch needed. At the beginning of the story, Driss faces many difficulties, but after some time they become friends who are constantly experiencing interesting adventures.
Francois Clauzet - an oligarch with a tragic fate
The story of a tragic fate and the ability to find beauty in life is demonstrated in spite of everything by the film “One Plus One”. The actors of this picture convey an amazing mood to the viewer: there is an unusual mixture of comic situations and sad facts in the fate of Philip. Francois Clauzet played a worthy man who loves to live and wants to develop, despite the stiffness of his movements.
The appearance of Driss in the life of Philip played into the hands of not only the unemployed young man, but also the oligarch. After all, it was Driss who taught the aristocratic personality the simple joys of life and entertainment that the guy does every day.
Anne Le Nee - Good Helper
A secondary, but no less touching role, is given to a simple governess, who has been working in Philippe's house for quite some time. Anne Le Ni was ideally suited for the role of this kind woman named Yvonne.
Throughout the film, Yvonne helps Driss and Philip get out of comic situations, sharing their troubles. The female role in this film undoubtedly gives softness, comfort and a desire to revise the film again. Yvonne appeared before the viewer as a pleasant woman of mature age with large blue and incredibly kind eyes. Ann Le is 53 years old at the moment.
It is important to note that the actress who played Yvonne has extensive experience in acting, screenwriting and directorial practice. Throughout her career, the actress took part in the filming of 53 films.
Philippe's best assistant
The incredible beauty in the film "One Plus One", whose actors were selected amazingly harmoniously, appeared Philip's assistant for work affairs - Magali. Throughout the film, a young girl helps the oligarch deal with a bunch of paper work, and also becomes an object of adoration for the adversary Driss. The magnificent game was demonstrated by the French actress Audrey Fleurot.
Audrey has played roles in more than 46 films. Today she is 39 years old, although many still compare Fleurot with a young girl. An attractive young woman with red hair and a mysterious look from the first minutes of the film attracts the attention of Dries. Throughout the film, he finds himself in ridiculous situations. Even greater laughter is caused by the statements of a young man trying to attract the attention of a beautiful person, but, alas, to no avail. This fact does not overshadow the overall picture of the film. It is worth noting that Audrey Fleurot perfectly coped with her role. Magali is presented as a secondary but memorable character.
Clotilde Mollet - an indispensable assistant
Marcel is Philippe's second assistant, without whom he would not have been able to move. She is also an irreplaceable figure in the life of an oligarch, since she knows all the weak points of a sick person.
The role of Marseille is secondary, so Clotilde appears in only a few scenes. Despite this, the actress should pay tribute: she beautifully played a kind and caring woman, who is not indifferent to the existence of Philip.
Philip's naughty daughter
The difficult life situation not only hit Philip's psyche, but also influenced his little daughter Eliza, played by Alba Gaia Bellugi. The role of the girl in the film was embodied by the French actress, who now lives in Paris. Now Alba is 21 years old, and behind her back more than 8 films.
Like any teenager, Eliza shows a wayward character, but after some time, Driss manages to find an approach to the naughty girl and prove that he is worthy of her respect. Moreover, Driss makes every effort to ensure that Eliza's failed boyfriend realizes that one should not offend a gullible girl.
Interesting facts about the film
The film was released in 2011 and in the very first days gained wild popularity thanks to the unusual quintessence of humor and drama. In France alone , the film attracted nearly twenty million viewers. The budget of the picture is almost 10 million euros, but the funds raised for viewing and selling are forty times higher than this figure.
Did you know that:
- The film is based on the real story of a rich man whose name is Philippe Pozzo di Borgo. Before starting a lot of work on the project, the directors personally visited Philippe, who lives in Morocco, and received a powerful charge for working on the project. Philip gave so many tips and recommendations that they were used in almost every frame of the film.
- The story of a rich man, chained to a chair, and his funny friend did not go unnoticed even fifteen years ago. So, in 2001, based on the life history of Pozzo, a book was written under the name "Second Wind". This work also served as an excellent source for writing a script.
- In 2004, a documentary film was launched on television, which inspired the creators to work out a movie called “1 + 1”. It described how a young resident of a small town was hired by a wealthy disabled person to provide necessary assistance and care.
- Omar Si, who played a seemingly ordinary and unremarkable person, seriously prepared for the shoot. So, in a few months he lost about 5 kilograms. Omar thought that Driss should have a more athletic body, because he has the unusual fate of a former prisoner.
- Philip Pozzo himself, whose story served as the basis for the film, insisted that the picture was comedic, rather than dramatic. Borgo did not want a film telling his joyless story to become an object of pity and compassion. Taking into account all the advice, recommendations and requests, the scriptwriters shot a magnificent film, which for a relatively short period of time won the hearts of many millions of viewers.
