This movie shows how hypocrite society is; so many idiots raising children or letting the tv or the streets do it and no one does cares, even a good and honest parent would get mess with this kind of questions because it´s so hard and we all make mistakes, no one borns knowing how to be a parent and normally people in the system get so blind by their power that they just dont care about the kids, they care about their rules and standards of what is best and that is relative for everyone
To me, the saddest thing about this movie was how true to life it is, about CPS stealing children from loving families. The script-writer was obviously trying to warn people about how too much power corrupts CPS workers.
@NancyHey Well lets not demonized the CPS here. It's not like they take kids away from good parents most of the time. Most of the time they take kids away from meth addicts and crack heads. In Russia you got an epidemic of kids growing up with alcoholics and drug addicts. These kids grow up with serious mental problems. So we're lucky we have the CPS for the most part. In those cases where they screw things up, we need to make sure it never happens again. Maybe by taking away some of their power
@kamehamehacker We do need to take away a lot of their power. If you search "CPS" here on YouTube and elsewhere on the internet, you'll see stories of many innocent parents who have been screwed up by CPS. The first thing we need to do IMO is take away the financial incentives for placing children for adoption.
@cjlivheidi And likewise, Mr Penn is an idiot in politics, don't judge them through the lens of his talents as an actor. Dozens of other people have his views but they are dismissed as inane internet rants.
@jferkfjkj how the fuck does he not have class. hes mentally fine in real life..lets see u pull that off...o wait u wouldnt have to try and be disabled
I'm sorry but if, inside, he is seven years old, who would be having children with him anyway?! Isn't that kind of like child molestation? Yeah his body is of legal age but if his mind isn't, how would he really even understand sexuality..? And how could he really consent?
@cosmoline626 It was a homeless woman that he had sex with. It was consensual on both thier parts. Even mentally challenged people still have normal sex drives, that is instinctual, not something that needs to be learned.
I am so sad after watching this movie and i keep asking my self what do i need in my life....i have everything that i want,but i am not happy...now i have reason for changing something in my life because i don't have big problems .
I just think,that mine problems are big,but people have much bigger and harder situations in their lives...and this is just a movie and i think that this can be a true life story
We were meant to live for a cause greater than our own. We know this because people who are "successful" are not happy people who live so they can be happy are not happy. Even if you say you are happy you are not fulfilled. There is something more than just being happy or making others happy. Its something beyond this world that lasts forever and never fails or disappoints. What is the good life?
thats some bullshit because the guy who said he has the capacity of a 7year old sucked his grand Daddy's dick! so he should shut the FUCK UP (but also the only thing i want to know about this movie is how did he like get laid...not trying to be a total douche here cause there are some normal people on the world and they dont get laid.....)
Thats a valid question :) Some people in the world can look beyond mental handicap or even physical attraction. Simply put, Sam seems like a really nice and caring guy; I can see him being quite nervous when he did have sex but its still possible. some girl in india had a baby when she was 8. Sam's partner may have been handicapped also. And yeah "normal" doesn't necessarily mean better, some normal people are complete pricks. Sam's kind and probably treated his partner right, thats all it takes
is that weird that im a guy and i cry a little when i watch this movie? i cry on the part when he first finds out that lucy is being taken away and sam starts crying
d0lcebarbi3, the problem is that the social workers in this film are sadly not wrong when they say Sam is limited in his ability to be a parent. Yes he is certainly capable of love, but love alone is not enough to raise a child successfully (especially when you have basically no familial or outside social support and your ability to pay the bills in nonexistant).
