——Watch "I Am Sam"
Jesse Nelson's work in 2001
When six people walked across the road holding red balloons, When the song "Nothing's gonna change my world" sounds, those uncaptured emotions spread in my heart like this. This is just the beginning. When Lucy and Sam's relationship was "threatened", love generated huge energy, like nuclear fusion, infiltrating and changing lawyer Rita. When we look back and re-examine the love between father and daughter, the love between people is so simple, so innocent, and so shocking. It is a selfless power that can conquer everything.
The mentally retarded people taught the so-called smart people a lesson, letting us understand what is the most important thing in life. In fact, such story themes have existed for a long time. Everyone can tell the story, but the same story can have very different effects when told by different people. Seven-year-old Lucy and her five-year-old father are separated by social workers. Her father Sam is unwilling to lose his daughter and uses various methods to keep her by his side. Lawyer Rita plays a "defender" in the process. "" role, but she examined herself from it and changed her warmth towards life and love. Her self-reflection actually represents an inner reflection of everyone. Those who watch it are moved, those who think about it cry, and those who think about it are shocked.
Many times, we are always accustomed to discerning the true inner meaning from the details. The camera starts with Sam's hands arranging the Christmas tree. When he says to each customer, "This is a wonderful choice," It is certainly difficult for anyone to convert or drag his role to that of a father. It is this spiritual gap that allows us to find insurmountable tension in the powerful shock that follows. Rita, who looks strong on the outside, is actually fragile and lonely on the inside, and is on the verge of mental breakdown due to the dual pressure of work and life. Everyone was intimidated by Rita's aggressive appearance and did not dare to approach her. Only Sam was unaware of this and trusted her wholeheartedly. Sam's trust became Rita's spiritual support. It was in this kind of self-resistance that Rita found the care and persistence in her own life, and the love that can last without being impetuous.
Music occupies an important position in movies. According to the scene of the image, the appropriate music can perfectly set off the inner world of the characters. It has become the third film language, using a method similar to direct The way to communicate with the heart is explained. Sean Penn, who plays Sam, is a typical Beatles fan. The film includes many Beatles songs sung by contemporary famous singers. The sound and picture are very harmonious and the effect is excellent. Fans who like the Beatles can enjoy it. Take this opportunity to relive many classics from this great band.
Sam's love is shown from multiple angles. We want to change Rita for the love of Sam and Lucy. We want to be moved by those scenes, the pink paper cranes, and burst into tears again and again. Embracing his angel running on the football field, we have reason to firmly believe that life is not colorful, but it cannot always be in honey. Life is endless, love is broader and more majestic.
Sam said this in court. His tone was firm and powerful, and his extension was full of warm love. He was a perfect father: "I will spend a lot of time thinking about how to be a good father." Parents, you need to listen patiently and love me to the best of my ability. I am not a perfect father, but I will do my best!”
Please remember to give me feedback after watching this video and this review! A greeting phone call from your parents.
After watching "I Am Sam"
Actually, I watched "I Am Sam" a month ago, and I wanted to write about my feelings about this movie that night, but There has been no action. Because I have so many feelings, I feel like I can’t talk about them. Now that I am taking part in film review submissions, I would like to sort out my thoughts, write them down, and share them with everyone.
This movie mainly tells the story of a mentally retarded father named Sam, who runs around trying to win custody of his daughter. Starring Sean. Pan really put in a lot of effort to play the mentally retarded father well, but I think his performance is still not as good as Dustin.
Hoffman's performance in "Rain Man" was also better than Tom's. Hanks' performance in "Forrest Gump" was slightly inferior, but from an emotional perspective, it was not inferior to the above two films. When watching "Rain Man" and "Forrest Gump", I only occasionally have tears in my eyes, but when I watched "I Am Sam" with my friends, the two of them were holding a large bag of tissues. I really didn't expect that in Hollywood, where production has been programmed, commercialized, and streamlined, it can still be filmed. The release of such an emotional film that does not rely on big production or big budget allows people to experience the taste of family affection and the feeling of home in the numb life of the steel jungle. After watching the movie, I suddenly missed my dad! (Written from your point of view)
At the beginning of the film, Sam arranges the various ingredients and cups of Starbucks. We can feel Sam’s care and persistence. What he pays attention to is actually what we call People with normal intelligence often forget. Our impetuousness cannot last long, and we have become accustomed to forgetting such small things. Then the camera turned, and Sam and her daughter's mother came out of the hospital. As soon as they left the hospital, their daughter's mother left heartlessly, leaving poor Sam and the infant Lucy behind. Faced with such a little life, Lucy's mother, who has a normal IQ, is not even as courageous as Sam to take on the responsibility. Raising children is also difficult for a normal person, but Sam did it, and did it well. He accompanied the child to the park, told the child bedtime stories, and carefully selected shoes for the child. In today's society where time is money, how many parents can do this?
The entire film is narrated in the first voice of the female lawyer Rita. Although Rita is smart and capable, she is a bit selfish and only cares about herself. At first, she felt that this case was impossible to win and did not want to take it. She just couldn't stand the provocation of her colleagues. In order to prove to everyone that she also cared about social welfare, she reluctantly took it. To her surprise, during her contact with Sam, she was moved by Sam's deep, sincere and unconditional fatherly love for his daughter Lucy. At the same time, during the trial of the lawsuit, she also sorted out her own life step by step. For many years, she had neglected her son and family for work. It was Sam's behavior that prompted her to reflect and re-enter the embrace of family love. Just like Sam himself said, "I am not as good as you in many places, but there are also some places where I am better than you, better than any of you." When I heard this, I was really touched. Yes, our IQ is indeed higher than that of you. He is high, but what about emotional intelligence? Maybe our emotional intelligence has deteriorated far below that of Sam. We have become numb to love, have become indifferent to our loved ones, and have become alienated from our lovers. Except for that ridiculous so-called IQ, we can't compare with Sam at all. He is much better than us.
What about the IQ of a seven-year-old? Sam is a good father who can give his daughter the purest and most passionate love. He doesn't know how to lie, he doesn't know how to read people's hearts, he doesn't understand the meaning behind his words, and he doesn't know how to beat around the bush, but he possesses the most precious thing as a human being - a kind and simple heart. He sympathized with everyone who shed tears, comforted every heart he saw hurt, and loved his daughters and friends unconditionally. He also has his pain. After he suffers setbacks in his efforts to win over Lucy again and again, he will also become depressed, roar, and complain to Rita. She who is healthy will never understand his pain because she is perfect enough to do anything easily. But when Rita cried bitterly about the failure of her marriage and her inability to face her son, Sam immediately put his worries aside and gave Rita heartfelt sympathy and the most sincere hug. In my opinion, rather than saying that Sam is mentally retarded, it is better to say that Sam is a person who has not been infected with all the pretense and greed that we have, a person who has been restored to purity.
While watching the film, I noticed two details. One is that while Sam was fighting for custody of Lucy, a couple was fighting to give up custody of their child. The second is to compare the bad mother-son relationship of the female lawyer with Sam. Seeing this, I think the director's good intentions are self-evident.
After watching the second half of the video, a proposition came to my mind: What do children need more in family life? Is it caring, or is it a wealthy material life and so-called knowledgeable parents. Sam cannot give children more knowledge, cannot teach children geometry, cannot teach children piano. All he gave his children was pure fatherly love and good character. In fact, children's IQ education can be provided by society and schools, but society and schools cannot provide emotional intelligence education, especially care. Let's make a hypothesis, an uneducated person with a good family atmosphere can become a person who contributes to society, but a person without family warmth is more dangerous. Imperfect emotional intelligence and emotional instability are often more fatal. (A bit off topic)
At the end of the film, Lucy's adoptive parents were finally moved by the father-daughter love between Sam and Lucy. They agreed to make concessions, and Sam finally obtained custody of Lucy. , in fact, it is the same custody rights. I think this is the most humane arrangement and the best choice.
Finally, I have to mention Decota Fanning, who played Lucy in the film. Her talented performance surprised the director Jessie Neal, "Dettah has a kind of personality beyond her years." Strength and wisdom. The talent shown by this 7-year-old girl is shocking. "We have reason to believe that she will grow into a bright Hollywood star in the near future.
I would like to dedicate this document to friends who support and love the film industry!
