This is superb picture that is brilliantly acted by method actor Daniel Day-Lewis, who would subsequently win an Academy Award for his performance as the adult Brown. My Left Foot is a stunning real life drama about author and artist Christy Brown. The only problem I felt was that the protagonist Christy always felt to deep or to pitiful, I wish there were more times that we could see him as a regular man. They both well deserved there Oscars, and from the other picture nominees I saw from the year (Dead Poets Society and Driving Miss Daisy) this would be my winner. The performances were incredibly talented, Daniel Day Lewis was a solid lead, but Brenda Ficker stole the show. Some scenes dwindled my mood, and then the next up lifts me to an inspirational moment. It was an extremely dramatic film that can make any man depressed, but light hearted enough to give you a few chuckles. As a man he becomes an extraordinary painter and writer, this is based on a true story by the way. The film was about a boy (later a man) who was diagnosed as a mental retard for his early life, while really only having Cerebral Palsy. Let me start off by saying, this film went above my expectation, and I have nothing (serious) to complain about.
