my left foot be a pretty impressive film that tell the story of christy brown and an artist who be cripple with cerebral palsy and learn to paint with his left foot and the only limb in his body he have control over . daniel day lewis win his first oscar a best actor for this film and which i be not absolutely certain be deserve and but be still noteworthy . day lewis give brown a realistic and occasionally almost humorous touch . brenda fricker and a brown devote mother and also win an oscar for a believable and touching role . my problem with this film be that it be a bit too real at time . when brown be in desperation and must help someone and do it all with his left foot and the film can be difficult to watch . this give it an often depressing feel that may turn off some viewer for a time . however and if you look beyond that and you will see a sense of hope and inspiration for those who have handicap and other difficulty to overcome . those of u who be not cripple and still consider ourselves to have problem be inspire by this film and because if somewhat with a much bad condition than u can overcome their difficulty and we can certainly do the same thing . well make and occasionally enjoyable and but difficult to watch . may not be for everyone and but not bad at all . out of .
