I am Sam

[Juu]

[color=deeppink] [size=1]I never really heard about this movie, until my dad brought it home from Blockbuster...

At first I was kinda reluctant to see it. The story didn't sound too interesting, and was really boring and kinda annoying to me at first.

Once we got about 30-45 min into the movie, I was biting my lip, trying my [i]best[/i] not to cry...

By the end of the movie, I was nearly sobbing, when I got back to my room.

It was a [i]very[/i] touching story, although I'm not sure if I can see it again... Too risky :p

Soo.. has anyone else seen/heard about this movie?

[color=deeppink] [size=1]this is only the beginning, I don't wanna talk about the events... ><
1) I'm gonna cry again
2) I don't wanna give it away ^_-

Well, it's about a man, named Sam, that ends up being a single father the day his daughter is born.

The father has the IQ of a seven year old, so he and his daughter face some problems during the seven years he's had with her. On the daughter's seventh birthday, her father was planning a suprise party for her. Since the father was mentally retarded, he didn't have much patiance, and didn't understand others as well, although it shows that he loved his daughter very much.

So he tugs on a boy's arm, and tells him to get ready for the surprise, but the boy says no, so the father keeps tugging. The boy screams that the daughter, Lucy, had told everyone that she was adopted, and that her father wasn't her real father, even though everyone knew it wasn't true.

A social worker took Lucy away, and the father and a foster family put Lucy in custody, and the story is mainly about the bond between the father and daughter, and how that brings the people around them together.

This is odd. I've had 3 seperate girl friends of mine tell me about this movie in the past week. I just saw it at the store the other day too... Maybe someone is trying to tell me I should watch it already lol.

At first I thought this movie was about Son of Sam when someone first asked if I saw it (yeah, I know Son of Sam wasn't named Sam, but whatever... it was late :whoops: ). Shows how much I knew about it.

Supposed to see it next weekend when I visit my friend and Eastern Illinois.

I saw it in the plane on my flight to the USA... I agree with you, Juuthena, it was a very touching movie. I highly reccomend it.

I loved this movie, I was like you and wasn't really wanting to watch it at first... but once I did, I just couldn't stop crying. Such a sad movie, it's my favorite now.

[FONT=arial]I didn't ever get a strong desire to see it, but one of my friends had really wanted to see it, so I just thought what the heck, couldn't hurt. I'm glad I saw it, it's a really good movie. one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. peh, it's a shame that hardly anybody I know has seen it though. [/FONT]
