i was watching "i am sam" on chn 5, and i realised sth...
life can be unfair. very unfair.
-----
i am sam
Sam (Sean Penn), who has the mind of a 7-year-old, watches his daughter being taken away from him by social services. He seeks the assistance of a workaholic lawyer (Michelle Pfeiffer) and inadvertently teaches her that family is more important than career.
-----
sam's daughter, lucy, is deemed to have a backward dad. her classmates laugh at her.
even when sam is picked up by a sex worker (ok. i didn't want to use this, but this is the most appropriate from tt's non-offensive...), the cop doesn't believe him until personnels from a mental organisation tells the police that he's mentally impaired.
the cop then pulls him away from lucy, separating them both, voiding them of interaction even though they are father and daugther, as the court deems sam to be unable to take care of lucy (which is v untrue, cos she's been raised 7yrs by sam, and is dere ath wrong wif her?
NTH! ABSOLUTELY NTH!!!
i cant believe this... he's fighting against all odds to be wif lucy.
how can life be so unfair?
just because he's mentally impaired means that he cant take care of others?
even if he has frens arnd to help him about?
he's working to support himself n lucy! what's wrong about tt? i cant believe even the court of law does this (in the show. does it show that the law realli does this despite all odds?)!
others shld learn from him and his daughter, and not despise them!
he's a optimistic man. even though he is slow, it doesn't mean tt we treat him unfairly. u treat others like hw u expect to be treated.
that's fair.
he treats others wif optimism, with a cheerful and jovial attitude, although he can be stubborn at times because his IQ (intellectual quotient) issn't as high as those that aint impaired!
he doesn't commit crimes. taking care of his own lawful daughter issn't a crime. if it's a crime, ALL the parents in the world would also be offenders.
how ironic. does tt mean tt we'll all grow up to be sinners? just because we have kids?
what difference does it make to a child when their parents love them and the love their parents?
totally nth.
nth at all!
i was totally touched when lucy said, "i onli need love". sam was touched. i nearly had my tears rolling down.
another pt made by rita was "i wake up everyday and i fail..."
does this has to happen to me too?
everyday?
...
-----
anyway, i realli got emo when watching the show. it's realli touching and all.
it will touch your hearts too, if you open up your mind.
look, see, learn, comment.
btw, GREAT SHOW! keep tt kinda standards up and i hope it can get an oscar/grammy =D
i was flipping through the newspapers of a year ago (was clearing up the stacks in my own room - they sure are v old =X)
i saw tt even a 13yr old kid can spot mistakes in the "Britannica Encycopaedia", cross referencing and field checks should be made if it's possible, so that the data that you giv is accurate!
dere were more, but i couldn't rmb all of em. tt's jus one of em tt's much more significant since tt encycopaedia is v widely used...
dreaming of you` @
