i am sam

incredibly touching movie..i've teared so many times since the beginning. have yet to finish it..and now i've to wait an entire week cos it's on tape.

the scenes of sam and his friends pooling their money to buy a pair of shoes for lucy; father and child holding on to each other after the trial; sam struggling to pronounce d-i-f-f-i-c-u-l-t. while it is easy to wish that all will end will for them, the courts also had strong reasons for keeping the two apart.

can a man with the mental capacity of a seven-year-old really care for the emotional soul of his daughter with mere love? or is it love, true love, that will overcome such barriers viewed impossible by the world.
