I don't think anyone here has seen this movie unless you happen to be from France.

It is a beautifully done French movie depicting what happens when Georges', a man with Down Syndrome, and Harry's, a business man, paths collide.

I have to say that it is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. It makes you want to smile when Georges smiles, laugh when Georges laughs, and cry when Georges cries. Personally, it made me look at people who have Down Syndrome or other disabilites under a new light. So many people look down on them and cast them away because they are not "normal".

This movie made me realise that the people like Georges are the real normal ones, the ones who live life to the fullest, and we need to follow their example.

I strongly encourage you to see it that is if it's available where you live. I think it came out in the US so that shouldn't be a problem. :)
