everyone we meet influence our thinking and modify our way and a little bit of that person rub off onto u . the eighth day take up this theme ( compare rainmaker ) . in this film harry ( daniel auteuil ) a businessman expert in sale psychology meet up with george ( pascal duquenne ) and a down syndrome child on the run . win performance from both these actor give this film it main strength . the opening sequence be excellent where george relate his theory on the creation of the world and in the closing scene we discover what god create on the eighth day . there be some moment in the story that be very frustrate for harry . for example and george who be completely uninhibited demand a pair of expensive shoe and hasn not enough money . it the kind of scene where you laugh through your tear . i like the scene where the down syndrome group on a trip to the art gallery escape on a bus and gate crash the paradis fun park . the most humorous of all the embarrassment be the scene where harry and george pass a horse float on the highway and and look back and georges give the driver a rude salute . but there be some gentle scene a well and especially the impressive use of close ups of hand hand feel the sun and wind and rain and hand reach up and hand reach out and clasp in love and friendship . this be true cinema which touch the heart . there be very move scene where george propose to nathalie and where george cradle harry head in his arm and where george keep call for his dear mom and where george teach harry to laugh . i felt there be a profound message in the film that life be beautiful the very presence of grass ( do you know it cry when you cut it . ) and the tree overhead and the song of bird and the little insect all nature miraculous creature . they be all there to be enjoy if we but lie back ( like harry and george ) look around u and listen . a beautiful film .
