![]() ![]() ![]() On technical terms, this film not the best since I felt it could use just a little better editing. I am glad there is a film that brings proper awareness to the condition and hence, much emotion is provoked. Instead, 13-year-old Hugh O’Conor, who plays young Christy, and Daniel Day-Lewis, who picks up at Christy’s 17th birthday, meld to create an extraordinary portrait of a wild, difficult, far. Overall, My Left Foot is a wonderful film that tells a story of a condition that many people must suffer through. Also, I must single out Brenda Fricker in this role as Christy's mother because she does such an amazing job. After his roles in "In the Name of the Father", "Lincoln", "Gangs of New York", and "There Will Be Blood," I can honestly say he is the best actor ever. He puts every ounce of effort into his roles and he acts as if he is actually the character he is portraying. I think people would agree with me on where I stand with him as an actor. Born with cerebral palsy, the story goes from his tough childhood to his even tougher adulthood where he becomes an expert writer and painter despite the fact he only has mobility with his left foot. Jim Sheridan's film tells the biography of a man named Christy Brown. Cerebral Palsy is something people should know about this and while not a propaganda piece, this film does a good job on giving the audience information about this disorder. But most of all, it spreads awareness about this handicap. ![]() After watching The Left Foot, I have came to the conclusion that Daniel-Day Lewis the greatest actor alive and perhaps the greatest actor ever! But for the film itself, it's a powerful film that's well directed, well-acted, masterfully written, and provokes a good amount of emotion. ![]()
