I am Sam

When choosing a favorite movie, I am Sam definitely would be at the top of the charts. This movie has comedy and drama wrapped into one. I literally laughed and cried throughout its intirety. It's been a long time since I've been touched by a movie in this way. The portrayal of the characters and the storyline was so realistic. I believe that aspect is what made this movie so great. It was one of …

…a harsh reality as to how the handicapped is portrayed in today's society. Hopefully, after watching this movie, society will realize that just because someone is "different" doesn't mean they can't be "normal". Mentally challenged and handicapped people want the same things out of life. They deserve the same respect and understanding as the next person. I highly recommend this movie, and who knows, after watching it, you may even change your point of view.
