      act like dan lewis

      When eating barbecue, we joked that it is cruel to eat chicken legs. With only one leg, chickens can only live their whole life by jumping and jumping. And what about people who can only use their left foot?

      He was born with cerebral palsy which caused convulsions, contorted face, crooked mouth at all times, frowned, shook his head, unable to speak so he had to open his eyes to convey his heart, whether angry, sad, aggrieved, or even happy. The same expression. It even looked hideous....

      A broken body is nothing to a broken heart.

      Based on the autobiography of the same name by Irish writer and painter Christy Brown. Christy Brown was born in Dublin and is ninth out of 13 surviving siblings. He was found to have cerebral palsy after birth, which left him almost paralyzed in all four limbs.

      When God closes a door, he will surely open a window.

      【We cannot change our background】
      1. Born in a poor family, he was born with an unfortunate disability and was considered mentally retarded. His own father did not consider him a family member. The strange eyes and ridicule of the people around him were unbearable for Christine. Anyone in this situation has reason enough to complain and give up.
      2. Also as Christine's mother, her husband's alcoholism and incompetence, and...

      The screenwriter, director and actor creativity of "My Left Foot"



      Like traditional Hollywood inspirational films, "My Left Foot" inherits the most genre of stories in Oscar-winning works, that is, inspirational films that realize personal dreams and American dreams that change real life. However, in order to adapt to the aesthetic taste of more audiences, movies of the same type naturally seek to win in creativity. The advantage of "My Left Foot" to get a high score lies in its creativity in film script adaptation, story narration, and...

      My Necessary Emotional Calm

      Sometimes we need an inspirational film, because sometimes life is not good for us. When the aggrieved children see that there are children who are worse than themselves, they often wipe away their tears, stop crying, and have a lot of balance in their hearts. Perhaps it is for this reason that inspirational films have such great appeal. Today I watched an inspirational film: "My Left Foot". I came to watch this film specially. The purpose is very simple. I want to find a child who is worse...

      Note: I actually don't like this movie, it looks moving but it's cruel. The admiration of others may not be what he wants. I believe that no one can put himself in the shoes and understand all this. But it's a good movie, especially the performance. It deserves to be the best actor at the Oscars. It's very...

      The actor's acting skills are invincible, but he is warm but not deliberately provocative. Christy's pursuit of true love and yearning for beautiful things are particularly touching. The support and care of the family is full of warmth, and the shot of the whole family building the studio together is very...

      "Hope deferred make the heart sick." "A broken body's nothin' to a broken heart." "Maybe if u have a room of ur own, u might start paintin' again. U have me heart broken, Christy Brown. Sometimes I think ur me heart. Look, if I could give u my legs, I would gladly take...
