Movie Summary:
Daniel Day-Lewis won the Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal in this biopic of Christy Brown, who was born with cerebral palsy into a poor but loving Irish family. Although the only movement Brown could control was in his left foot, he nevertheless developed into an acclaimed painter and writer. However, Brown apparently wasn’t a likable man, and the movie depicts him as an ill-tempered, manipulative, foul-mouthed boozer. But the film contains just the right touches of warmth and humor, and for me these transform watching this rather painful story into a very moving experience.
