故事描述一名失业男子为了生活，被一名富商的调皮孩子买作玩具，他忍痛牺牲自尊来讨好富家子，受尽侮辱。到他忍无可忍要离去时，小孩却又不舍得他。 本片将荒谬的笑料和辛酸的故事糅合起来，颇见神采。理查德以其一贯的低调技巧把这个将自己卖为玩具的可怜男人演绎得相当动人，笑料不太多，但具新鲜感。好莱坞在1982年曾翻拍此片，由黑人谐星理查德·普瑞尔主演，荒腔走板，通篇只见其挤眉弄眼硬挤笑料，却没有原片对人性尊严的捍卫。
"Le Jouet," a 1976 French film produced by Renn Productions and Fideline Films, is a poignant and satirical exploration of societal values and the commodification of human relationships. Directed by Francis Veber, the movie stars Pierre Richard as François Perrin, an unemployed journalist who finds himself unwittingly thrust into the role of a 'toy' for the spoiled son of a wealthy businessman. The film's premise is both absurd and thought-provoking, as it delves into the dynamics of power and the dehumanizing effects of wealth and privilege. The narrative unfolds with a blend of humor and social commentary, as François navigates his bizarre new position within the opulent yet morally bankrupt world of the businessman's family. Pierre Richard's performance is central to the film's success, as he embodies the character's bewilderment and gradual realization of the absurdity of his situation with a deft touch of comedy and pathos. The film cleverly uses the metaphor of a toy to critique the way in which the rich and powerful can treat people as disposable objects, devoid of dignity and agency. "Le Jouet" also shines a light on the innocence and potential for change represented by the businessman's son, who, despite his initial cruelty, begins to see François as a person rather than a plaything. This subplot adds depth to the film, suggesting that even within a corrupt system, there is hope for empathy and understanding. The film's setting in the lavish yet cold environment of the businessman's home serves as a stark contrast to the warmth and humanity that François brings into the household. Ultimately, "Le Jouet" is a timeless critique of materialism and the erosion of human values in the face of wealth. Its clever script, combined with strong performances and a sharp directorial vision, make it a compelling watch that continues to resonate with audiences. The film's ability to balance humor with serious social commentary is a testament to Veber's skill as a filmmaker and the enduring relevance of its themes.
