"I Am Sam" male protagonist wonderful debate clip clip
Video loading...
Sam is a "mentally handicapped patient" with only seven years old intelligence (put in quotation marks here that I don't think the male protagonist is really mentally retarded), during a part-time job in a coffee shop, because he accidentally took in a homeless woman and gave birth to a daughter with the male protagonist, of course, our cute little heroine. However, as soon as the daughter was born, her mother left Sam and the little heroine, and since then Sam has taken care of the child as a grandfather. The male protagonist named his daughter Lucy, because our male protagonist especially likes the Beatles "Lucy with Diamonds in the Sky", and I guess the male protagonist Lucy hopes that her daughter can shine like a diamond.
Helpless Sam holds his daughter
Life is always bumpy, but with the help of a group of friends, our Sam raised little Lucy to the age of seven, little Lucy is not only very beautiful and smart, at this time Sam can not answer many questions raised by little Lucy, Sam's intelligence is not enough to continue to raise his daughter, so there are social workers to come to the door, hoping to find Lucy to find "mom and dad" to raise her daughter again, but Sam refused. The social worker can only give up for a while, and then because Sam beats up the little boy who bullied his daughter Lucy at his daughter's birthday party, the male protagonist is sued to the court, and the social worker thinks that Sam is not suitable to continue to raise his daughter Lucy. Not wanting to lose his daughter, Sam went to the female lawyer Rita for help.
Lucy at the age of seven
Rita is a shrewd and capable, but at the same time a bit selfish and self-serving strong woman. At first, she thought that the case could not be won, but she took Sam's case for free in order to ridicule her colleagues and prove that she cared about social welfare. In the process of contact with Sam, he is touched by Sam's selfless, deep and sincere feelings for Lucy, and gradually realizes that Sam has the right to live with his daughter just like normal people. At the same time, he also sorted out his own life and began to realize that he had neglected his son and family because of his work.
Female lawyer Rita
Later, Sam held a debate game in the courtroom, and lost the case because of the expression problem, Lucy left her dearest father and came to a strange family, but every night, little Lucy sneaked out of the window and quietly came to the home where Sam had lived... So after a few adopters, Lucy's family allowed Sam to be with his daughter, and Lucy was raised by them. The film ends with a joyful football match.
Sam blames himself for not being able to answer his daughter's questions
There is no excessive sensational scene in the play, but it earns enough tears, and the whole film is full of sunshine. Although the film is only about 100 minutes long, the thinking it brings us is indeed infinite. Isn't Sam and Lucy's father-daughter relationship and the lawyer Rita's attitude towards children and family a reflection of the real world? Parents always work hard to survive and ignore the child's spiritual world, and apply for various cram school training classes for your own good and do not respect the child's wishes, rather than paying attention to the cultivation of children's interests. We should remember that family education and companionship are just as important to the healthy development of children.
I have watched this movie several times, recommend it to everyone, it is worth watching.
