My Left Foot Special Edition Rocks

This film is a must see for anyone who believes in the celebration of the human spirit and its ability to overcome almost insurmountable obstacles. Daniel Day- Lewis is amazing in this role - you forget that he is an actor playing a role. The bonus features in this film with shots of the real Christy Brown and his mother make the experience of watching this film even richer. This is a film you can watch over and over again and never tire of the amazing story it tells.

kind of a gritty movie

A poor Irish family has more room for the cripple than most rich families ever make.
A man who paints with his left foot and learns to talk at 19 is
someone who is entirely different than ordinary people.
What is inside his head is not reflected by how he is able to move
his body. Once he learns to type there seems to be no stopping him?
Daniel Day-Lewis has been one of my favorite actors since I saw
The Last of the Mohicans (Director's Expanded Edition).
Bringing to life this special person makes him a special actor.
It seems strange that out of such a gritty grinding poor
place should come a picture of courage and endurance for us all.

Awesome

I went to the theatre many years ago to see this film, it was awesome then and it still is. I purchased this video for a friend who had never seen it before. They also really enjoyed it.

This Film IS Ireland

There has never been a better portrayal of Ireland.

Most of my people come from the isle and I type those words with pride. 'My Left Foot' presents all that is good and bad about the people of Ireland. It does so with no apologies, preaching or politics.

There is NOTHING depressing about this movie; anyone believes so, misses the point.

It's a masterpiece, and I WANT to argue with those who say otherwise.

I write with confidence that film classes, historians, and actors will be dissecting this movie 100 years from now. There are very few films for which this reviewer would state that claim.

It needs to be seen more than once. On first viewing, I felt sympathy for Christy. The second time I realized that this man never asked for my pity.

Daniel Day-Lewis won a much-deserved Oscar for his wily, passionate performance as Irish artist and writer Christy Brown, whose cerebral palsy kept him confined to a wheelchair. Filmmaker Jim Sheridan (In the Name of the Father) adapts Brown's own autobiography for this spirited piece, focusing on the sometimes-difficult fellow's formative years in his large family and in love with sundry women. Day-Lewis is inspired, and Brenda Fricker (also a recipient of an Oscar for her part in this movie) is almost luminous as Christy's dedicated mother. So, too, are Ray McAnally as the hero's stormy father, and Hugh O'Conor (The Young Poisoner's Handbook) as the child Christy. All in all, this is a complete pleasure for viewers. --Tom Keogh
