#ok so im gonna admit smth here#i did watch i am sam as part of a yms livestreamed watch along#idk how to explain this other than i think the choices for this film to be made and completed are alien to me#sean penn plays an intellectually disabled man who gains custody of a daughter he fathered w a homeless woman he offered to let stay w him#i am sam is in the realm of movies like riding the bus w my sister and tiptoes#i rly dont know how to explain bcus idk how these movies get made#like ig everyone involved thinks theyre being altruistic in making a big budget film abt smth like a disability#but it always feels off probably bcus of the casting and overall acting choices#like for tiptoes it stars gary oldman in and i quote 'his most daring role yet' and#he plays a little person but u and i know he isnt so how does he do that? he walked on his knees#the film is packed to the brim w actual little people who are actors so. why gary oldman on his knees ???#peter dinklage is fucking in it in a prominent role#like. how do i explain i am sam. it's so fucking weird how did it get made how did they get big name actors#dakoto fanning michelle pfeiffer and laura dern are in this how does this happen#the movie tries to be so heartwarming but i'm lost w sean penn's performance i'm lost w his characterization#so i find this in wikipedia im not gonna explain rn and i'm just like. I AM SAM ???????????????? babygirl u gotta be kidding#i will elaborate if asked specific questions but rn i cant even fathom this sentence so pls give me a moment
