To be retarded is not a crime...we have to accept people who are retarded as they are and not discriminate them...we are all equal in the eyes of the society...I am sometimes amazed that people who are not well endowed like us are more hardworking than us in diverse fields...
Sam Dawson (Sean Penn in an Oscar nominated performance simply lives and breathes the role, now I understand why he is one of the most versatile actors of the current generation) has the mentality of a seven year old...in fact his daughter Lucy (adorable looking Dakota Fanning) is more smarter than him as years goes by...but when he loses custody of his daughter he enlists the help of Rita (Michelle Pfeiffer stunning as always) to help him fight his case...
We see the entire world thru the main protagonist's eyes...his innocence...his unending love and devotion for his daughter...the scene when Sam loses custody rights in the courtroom is sure to bring a tear to anyone's eyes...We see his desire to be a perfectionist in whatever he undertakes...his eccentricity...by the climax i realized that a daughter needs her father the most, because she will never be able to love her foster parents that much...Bollywood tried its best to replicate this movie (Main Aisa hi hoon) with Ajay Devgan as Sam but was not up to the mark
The relationship between father and daughter is beautifully portrayed especially when Sam is with Lucy on a swing is so beautiful and poignant...go watch this movie with your loved ones!!!!
