    Showcases the brilliance of Daniel Day-Lewis and the indomitable spirit of Christy Brown
    If you’re looking for a film that inspires and moves you, “My Left Foot” is the one to watch. Daniel Day-Lewis’s performance as Christy Brown is simply amazing. He plays a man born with cerebral palsy who learns to write and paint with his left foot, and he does it with such authenticity that it’s hard to believe you’re watching an actor.Day-Lewis completely transforms into Christy, capturing every struggle and triumph with incredible detail. His portrayal is raw, real, and deeply touching. It’s no wonder he won an Oscar for this role. He makes you feel every bit of Christy’s frustration, determination, and joy.The story itself is powerful and heartwarming. It shows Christy’s journey from being misunderstood and underestimated to becoming a celebrated artist and writer. The relationship between Christy and his mother, played by Brenda Fricker, is especially touching. Fricker’s performance is also top-notch, bringing a lot of warmth and strength to the film.The film does a great job of balancing the tough moments with the uplifting ones. It’s beautifully shot, capturing the essence of Dublin and the era perfectly. The music and cinematography add to the overall emotional impact.”My Left Foot” is more than just a biopic; it’s a celebration of human resilience and the power of art. Daniel Day-Lewis delivers a performance that will stick with you long after the credits roll. This film is a must-see for anyone who loves great acting and inspiring stories. It’s a reminder that with determination and support, anything is possible.

    FINDING EXCEPTIONALITY DESPITE ALL ODDS — A STORY THAT CHALLENGES US ALL
    WITH BLU-RAY AND FULL MOVIE REVIEWINTRO: Based on Christy Brown’s autobiographical book by the same name, the movie My Left Foot is one of those exceptional tales of the human spirit told in an exceptional way. With very little melodrama, it allows us to be enlightened, amazed, and inspired while still seeing some of the subject’s warts or imperfections. It can make us question our own excuses for not overcoming personal obstacles.THE STORY: Legendary Irish author and painter Christy Brown was born with cerebral palsy to a poor working class family in Dublin 1932. Despite recommendations from doctors to put him in a home, the large family insists on the challenge of caring for him themselves. With all the physical debilitations of CP, the one limb that Christy can effectively control and manipulate is his left foot. The movie depicts a somewhat hard bitten family that struggles for subsistence and sleeps in communal beds. Christy is well loved and protected, but there is a certain acceptance that he cannot communicate or even understand his surroundings to some degree. The family may display some of those harsh stereotypes (at least as the movie depicts), but when push comes to shove, don’t mess with the family! Despite preconceptions, Christy will show sparks of intelligence and understanding as he catches his family’s attention, then shows inner brilliance with opportunities of education that present themselves. One could say the economic reality itself would have been a great barrier to success, let alone the challenge of CP. However, we see how Christy not only improves his situation with his disability, but turns that very condition into a path to success in a way. Of course he has help and is pushed at times by those who loved him. This is not a canonization of a perfect individual. Just a story of triumph despite all one’s flaws.OTHER THOUGHTS: It was heartening to see the community congeal around Christy and include him in the simplest activities such as a game of football. Even hilarious as much as it was touching. Seeing the family protect each other in a scrap with another party over a snide comment was a highlight of the whole movie! I have to admit this is one of those stories I will remember and ask myself what the excuse is when I am feeling sorry for myself, or that I can’t do something. Every person has a hidden corner of exceptionality waiting inside of us. This is an extraordinary tale of someone who found it against all odds.REMASTERED BLU RAY EDITION: The 2015 release of the 1989 movie has received a restoration for all new picture quality that is quite excellent overall. The colors are very good. The film has little grain and it appears they opted for a smooth look (rather than sharper, but with more grain). I was very happy overall with the upgrade. I didn’t expect reference quality from an 80’s movie. Though the colors are very good, there is also a very slight washed look that I think was part of the color pallet. Here are other specs on this disc: Blu Ray features 1080p video, a lossless 5.1 soundtrack, and supplements include: The Real Christy Brown and An Inspirational Journey: The Making of My Left Foot. 1:85:1 aspect ratio. Subtitles/Captions English SDH, SpanishACCOLADES: Daniel Day-Lewis won the first of his three (time of writing this) Leading Actor awards for his performance. Brenda Fricker also won best Supporting Actress. The film received a total of 5 Academy Award nominations including best picture and best director. It also won many other awards outside the Oscars.

    great movie to show the value of life
    it was pretty good but the cussing was really a lot for me to handle. I love seeing that a family loves each other no matter what the circumstances may be. this movie is a great inspiration to families with a handicap member. Each person brings value to another. Life is precious and the way the brothers interacted with him was priceless.

    My Left Foot is a must see for movie lovers!
    If you haven’t seen this Daniel Day-Lewis movie yet, you must! It is a biographical movie about an Irish man named Christy Brown, who was born with severe cerebral palsy. He had great difficulty speaking and could not walk. The one body part he had mastery with was his left foot. He became an author, poet, and artist. When I first watched this movie years ago (in 1989), I was convinced that Day-Lewis was an actor with cerebral palsy. He is one of the most gifted of actors in the world today. Fully immersing himself in the character he is portraying. This movie won multiple awards including an Academy Award for Daniel Day-Lewis. As Roger Ebert, film critic, said, “My Left Foot is a great film for many reasons, but the most important is that it gives us such a complete picture of this man’s life. It is not an inspirational movie, although it inspires. It is not a sympathetic movie, although it inspires sympathy. It is the story of a stubborn, difficult, blessed and gifted man who was dealt a bad hand, who played it brilliantly, and who left us some good books, some good paintings and the example of his courage. It must not have been easy.” My Left Foot is a must see.

    This DVD was delivered right on time as scheduled and is in excellent condition. A excellent movie that is in excellent quality to watch. So good in fact, I bought it again. Just to have 2 of these movies on hand in case of loss or damage is well worth having in the library. Excellent, highly recommend.

    Une prestation de Daniel Day Lewis d’une grande finesse…après une préparation physique et mentale de l’acteur de plusieurs mois.

    Capolavoro. Tutti conoscono la storia del ragazzino povero e disabile irlandese che si scopre artista molto intelligente e chiede/pretende l’amore, ottenendolo. Ottimo prodotto, dvd vecchiotto ma in buone condizioni, sottotitolato, ottima consegna come sempre.
