I am Sam

It's amazing how some movies can touch your heart no matter how many times you watch them. I have cried before, and I cried again when I was just flipping the TV channels and watched the last 40 min of movie called "I am Sam".

Sean Penn was nominated for a best actor in Oscars for this movie, and yeah, it was definitely career defining performance. He played the role of an Autistic (Mentally Challenge) father who fights to regain the custody of his 7 year old daughter with the help of his lawyer played by Michelle Pfeiffer.

Perhaps having an Autistic child in the family makes it more emotional – expressive – for me, and maybe the reason why I can relate to it so deeply.
