But from the first minutes it got my total attention.
What really surprised me is that for a drama, the story goes really fast.What a great film!!! It's going to very difficult to put into words what this film has achieved.
Both Francois Cluzet and Omar Sy give perfect performances as a couple of men dealing with hardships and develop a very strong friendship in spite of their very different backgrounds.
With the help of a sharp and insightful script, the two actors go through a series of incidents,learning to appreciate each other's values and grow closer because they understand each other and how difficult life can be.
Phillipe is at a point in his life where he is ready to give up, Driss comes up with an alternative point of view,and it is his resolution not to wallow in self pity or treat others any differently that attracts Phillipe.Soon, Phillipe is enjoying life again, and he tries to
correspond and do something for Driss,and the results will make your spirits soar.The film is rich with emotion,and Phillipe's party and Driss' treat scene are formidable cinema pieces where
everything comes together,as the screen fills with music, song, dance, and some striking visuals.
電影之所以感動，莫過於在真實的生活裡頭，實在太難發現這種的人間有情，
即使是朋友如是，家人如是，我們都太著重利益與表明上得到的名與利，彷似你不依照別人要你走的路走，就是有罪似的。
於是，我們都太計較金錢上的所得，而忽略存在著的一份人與人之間的感情，那怕是一句關心、那怕是行動上的表現。
而在《閃亮人生》中，我看到的是菲臘(Phillipe)不計較迪尼斯(DRISS)的身世，即使他很想留他在身邊，但是他也知道迪尼斯(DRISS)有他的路要走，而且走得更廣寬。菲臘(Phillipe)給迪尼斯(DRISS)機會，為他走出他的路。而迪尼斯(DRISS)從菲臘(Phillipe)的身上學到了守規矩、要斯斯文文，更重要的學會了責任感。
就是這份感情，一直在電影當中，令人停下來想想自己的人生。
