Les Intouchables

I saw this film a few years ago and had forgotten about it, but someone was asking on the board for Les Intouchables about similar films, and I remembered, the whole relationship between Philippe and Driss in Les Intouchables was similar to that between Ben and Christian in Renn, wenn du kannst. Didn't the two films hit a lot of the same marks character-wise? Here's the link to the other thread: http://pro.imdb.com/title/tt1675434/board/flat/201541567

I was reminded, too, however, there are some significant differences, most importantly, Driss got that job by accident and for the first half of the film he only showed up because he had to. Secondly, Philippe is very rich. Thirdly, Driss has a criminal background. And these things change the interactions dramatically.
Also, of course, there was no love triangle in Intouchables, but this is a difference in plot, not the premise.

Yes, you are right.

Did ... did you just admit that I am right? Isn't this the internet anymore, am I dreaming? I must be dreaming ...
