The story of Christy Brown, who was born with cerebral palsy. Cared for by his family, but mercilessly thought of as a dumb person in younger years, he eventually learned to paint and write with his his left foot. This brought him fame, but his challenges continued to torment him. Besides being a very interesting story, the acting by Daniel-Day Lewis was tremendous. Inspiring film worthy of its awards.
This movie is all Daniel-Day Lewis – who takes command of the stage and owns it.
Regarding BrianSez’s Review
Indeed. Can’t wait to see DDL as Abe Lincoln. Could be one of the greatest role-meets-actor events in cinematic history.
