I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

This film surprised me. I avoided it for a long time because it got so much praise and I had read the book and didn't want to be disappointed.I was wrong.This film surpassed any expectations I could have had. The acting is phenomenal. Daniel Day-Lewis showed me with this film he may be the best actor of our time (perhaps all time?). His showing of Christy Brown is astonishing. Moreover, he was able to convey that Christy was in fact not a likeable person. He was an angry, sometimes deranged and jealous alcoholic who hated how the world saw him despite all the obstacles he overcame.It should be noted that the the supporting cast were exceptional as well. Christy's parents and siblings all had a nice connection and it displayed the family just as it was. It was touching to see the times when they supported one another and Christy, in spite of his moodiness.The only part I didn't like is how they made the ending so perfect and "happily ever after." In reality, Christy ended up dying a sad alcoholic, abused mentally, physically and emotionally by his unfaithful wife. I understand why they did this, but the truth is always best - no matter how harsh.

"This is Christy Brown, my son. Genius." Down-to-earth, funny and surprisingly entertaining while avoiding the lachrymose, this 1989 Irish drama film 'My Left Foot', or 'My Left Foot: The Story of Christy Brown', is based off of the said character's own 1954 autobiography, depicting the constant daily struggles of an intelligent individual imprisoned in a body with cerebral palsy. From newcomer director Jim Sheridan and Shane Connaughton adapting Brown's story to a screenplay, we see in the span of almost two hours the life of a uniquely astonishing man unfold from a boy to maturity to well-respected and celebrated Irishman. But does this film truly capture Brown's story as a genius despite him being a spastic quadriplegic? Let's take a look.As a lad, Christy could not walk or talk, but still received love from his family, especially his caring, steely mam Bridget (Brenda Fricker, in an Oscar-winning role) while the rest of the clan sees him as nothing but a vegetable. But one day a miraculous even occurs when the now five-year-old Christy (Hugh O'Conor) sees his mam fall down a flight of stairs one day as she is in labor, and is the only witness as well. He is however able to get the attention of some neighbors. His unpredictable, alcoholic da (Ray McAnally, who died before the film was released in his last great role) never really believing in his handicapped son, becomes a supporter when he sees him using the eponymous appendage (the only body part he could actually control), to scrawl the word 'mother' on the floor with a piece of yellow chalk.Later on in the film, since time has passed, he is now played by Daniel-Day Lewis (a brilliantly deserved Oscar-winning beautifully bravura performance for such a demanding, meticulous role). He masters each nuance of facial expressions, precise movements of a twisted, rigid body and impaired speech flawlessly, and eventually overcomes his infirmity-with no apprehension of determination or ill will-to go on to become a painter, poet, author, find love and eventually marry. With his only controllable limb, Christy paints, scores goals in street soccer, lays bricks, fells an adversary in a pub brawl, attempts suicide and writes his autobiography. To see the world through the eyes of a man undeterred from his permanent state is confounding and yet we can not look away. The zeal in his soul ridden with angst, wonder and the will to laugh at life's circumstances, all the while longing to be accepted in society has, throughout his life shown in the time allotted, never dwindles. From examples as a man to flirting with his speech therapist (teaching him to swear when others are not wanted) to the innocent wonder as a boy with his brothers and sisters partaking in sweet, spooky Halloween street festivities, his outlook remains the same throughout his days while as those around him come to eventually laud his triumphs and travails as a unique and extraordinary human being.Paralleling with 'Rain Man', the same elements are here, but it is also here where we witness a more sentimental depth of human nature. It reveals a painful yet poignant portrait of an essentially paralyzed artistic character that at the film's conclusion we can do nothing but stand and cheer. It deviates from the standard Hollywood story to deliver dynamic realism, robust truths and an overall tour-de-force experience from watching the miraculousness of life within a man and his spirit, unafraid in beating the odds to pursue his visions and dreams. Though the real Christy Brown passed on at only forty-nine, this is truly one of those films that will live in the mind and heart long after one sees it.

This movie is amazing and the biggest reason why is the actor. This is maybe the single best performance by an actor in any movie that I have ever seen.I'm not sure why but I have to write ten whole lines for this review to count and be posted but I'm not sure what else to say so I guess I will just keep typing? This is really pointless, if we just have something short to say why should we have to write a bunch of extra mumbo jumbo too?Anyway if you like great performances then check this movie out, he is awesome!

Notable for marking the commencement of Daniel Day-Lewis' personal version of method acting, My Left Foot presents the widely acclaimed actor pushing himself to the extreme in what is undoubtedly one of the proudest works of his acting career. And even though the film doesn't have anything else to offer, the performances are strong enough to keep the viewers engaged.Based on the autobiography of the same name, My Left Foot tells the story of Christy Brown; an Irishman who was born with cerebral palsy but despite his handicap went on to become an artist & writer, all with the help of the only thing he could fully control: his left foot. The film covers his upbringing in a poor family, his daily struggles, discovery of new passions & also his stint with love.Wonderfully directed by Jim Sheridan, the film is heartwarming & heartbreaking at the same time, and is an inspiring insight into the life of Christy Brown that makes the viewers go through various emotions, but pity isn't one of them. The technical aspects are finely executed & have nothing special going on but it's in the performances where the film manages to make the most lasting impression.There are three key performances that are worth noting here. First is Daniel Day-Lewis who delves into his character like never before & plays him from inside-out. Next is Brenda Fricker who strongly chips in as Christy's mother. And last we have Hugh O'Connor who is as good as Day-Lewis for his portrayal of young Christy Brown sets up a perfect stage for Day-Lewis to take over.On an overall scale, My Left Foot is a touching tale about the indomitable will of the human spirit to triumph against all odds, and succeeds mainly because of the unforgettable performances from its highly committed cast. But even if the film is entirely dependent on its acting strength, it still makes up for a rich cinematic experience that comes as a must for Daniel Day-Lewis' admirers as well as critics.
