imperfect completeness

This is a movie specially watched for Fanfan. It is a typical example of good acting skills that the famous screenwriter Lu Wei mentioned in the book.
Lewis's acting skills are really cool, and he deserves to be the winner of three golden statuettes, which is really wonderful. It's amazing how a normal person can control his limbs so vividly.
The story tells the story of a little boy who can only move his left foot due to poliomyelitis. His intelligence and perception of painting are very high. With the help of his mother's wise care and beautiful doctors, he has achieved great achievements in the fields of painting and writing.
What is touching is that the friends around him accept him and play with him. Especially the scene that allowed him to score the crucial goal. Brothers and sisters are more caring for him, they will fight for him, they accept him from the bottom of their hearts, support him, and love him. In fact, this is a normal emotion, but in other movies, there will be a lot of discrimination and other bad attitudes.
There are also many heart-warming details. For example, when the family built his small studio for him, the mother told the boys to deliberately lose to the father to give him a sense of accomplishment. The family loves each other, supports each other, and sets a good family example.
It's just that Dad's character design is somewhat incomprehensible. He seems to be a grumpy alcoholic, but he will still be proud of his son and will spontaneously build a house for his son, which is quite contradictory. This may also reflect the multi-faceted nature of human personality.
