Sometimes, watching a disc quietly after dinner is a kind of enjoyment, and then go to bed obediently.
"My Left Foot" has been bought for 3 years, and I haven't watched it. It followed me from the northeast to Shanghai in the disc bag. If I hadn't opened the disc bag, I would have forgotten all about it. But, fortunately, fortunately, such a classic is destined not to be missed.

Christie Brown was born with cerebral palsy, and only one left foot can move in his body. Every time he wants to move his body, even a centimeter, he has to work hard and sweat all over to do this seemingly simple thing for ordinary people. good. I don't even have the strength to blow out the candles, and it takes all my strength to blow out a breath. He could barely speak, and when he was very angry, he let out a low, animal-like growl. His family is a very ordinary family, there is not enough coal in winter, and he can't even buy a wheelchair for him. There is only a car made of wood similar to road sweepers. However, these were not enough to defeat him.

Watching Christie Brown, who was born with cerebral palsy, climb down the stairs with difficulty with only one left foot, and slammed on the door for help, otherwise my mother might die, and I couldn't help sweating;
Watching him pick up the chalk with his left foot and write down on the ground with difficulty: MOTHER, the whole family's stunned expression, the tears of my mother, and my tears could not help slipping quietly;
he actually used his left foot to kick the ball;
He painted a portrait of a girl with his left foot to express his confession, and wrote, "I often swim in your blue eyes";
he refused to admit defeat, he actively cooperated with the doctor, and gradually articulated clearly;
he painted carefully and wrote books , relying on his innate talent and unyielding will, won the praise and admiration of everyone. Eventually became a famous painter and writer.
He longed to be like ordinary people, longed for love, bravely confessed, and finally won true love. . .

Really, watching this movie, you have to be deeply shocked, not only by Daniel Day-Lewis's acting skills, but also by the power of the characters he plays, and also by his mother, It was deeply moved by the deep love that never gave up.

He is her child, so what if he is the ugly duckling? Her love is all-encompassing, protects him, and gives him infinite power.
He is disabled, so what, he is always attentive, he knows how to be grateful, he has a tenacious will and a free soul.
He was successful, even though such success was full of too many hardships, he did not give up, survived the trials and tribulations of life, and won all the respect, admiration, and even love that ordinary people do not usually see.

This also makes people think of "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly", relying only on one left eye to write the miracle of life.
Although the body is as heavy as a diving bell, the soul is as light and free as a butterfly.

You need to know that when God closes one door for you, he will also open another door for you.
So, we don't give up.

This poster is so beautiful.
