Lucy's foster family is eager to adopt Lucy, and the guardians and child protection agencies will fully support the family.
This made Sam despair.
Because once Lucy is officially adopted, he will never be able to get Lucy's custody back.
But Rita still found a way to help him!
"We can give up custody to the foster family, and then ask for visits at any time, and strive for maximum visitation rights! It's like joint custody!" This is the way Rita came up with for Sam.
Sam knew that even Rita had no choice this time, and even she thought she had no chance of winning.
Sam asked his friends to leave first. He said to Rita: "Because you have to leave your husband, and I need Lucy back!"
He seemed a little frustrated, because if even the lawyer didn't think he had a chance of winning, then he would really never be able to get Lucy back.
"We need to be friendly to our customers. If we are not familiar with them, I can be your friend!" Sam said with great sincerity.
"Thank you!" Rita was gradually moved by Sam's sincerity, as he always does.
Although his IQ is not as good as normal people, he is more sincere than many normal people in this regard.
"But you should still leave your husband!" Sam said, lowering his head.
"My marriage is not that bad!"
"Just because I have never suffered setbacks!"
On Lucy's way back to her foster home, Sam came up with the idea of surprising Lucy with a paper crane.
He climbed up the tree and flew the paper crane out, and Lucy picked it up. The father and daughter had a close connection, and she knew that it was folded by her father.
Soon, Sam appeared in front of Lucy with a group of dogs.
Lucy was very happy to see her father again, but the woman at the foster family frowned and asked why Sam was here.
Sam's response was: "I live here!"
Yes, in order to see his daughter more easily and to be closer to Lucy, he moved to live near the foster family.
"So close to me!"
"Yes, I want to be closer to you! I want to be closer to you! So I live in the apartment here!" Sam replied.
"Apartment Nine, Number Nine sounds like October 9th, the same as John Lennon's birthday, his son's birthday is also October 9th!"
Lucy is very smart and obviously has not been less influenced by her father. She added: "On November 9th, John met Yoko!"
"Yes, and his mother lives at No. 9 Newcastle Street, Liverpool..."
The father and daughter chatted about No. 9!
In fact, what is meant here is that he knows that all this is not a coincidence, nor is his encounter with Lucy, and the diamonds falling from the sky are his.
But this made the adoptive mother of the foster family very dissatisfied. She said to Lucy: "I want to talk to your father!"
She asked: "What on earth are you doing? Are you moving to get close to her? We should give her a stable environment. She has to appear in court in a week!"
Sam said: "I take the bus to see her every time. Taking the bus takes a lot of time!"
Clearly he wished he could spend more time with Lucy.
"But we have to figure out what's best for her!"
Sam asked if he could hug Lucy goodbye, and she agreed.
But this scene makes people choke up. Once upon a time, a father had to ask for permission from others to hug his daughter.
In the days to come, even hugs will become a luxury.
At night, while her adoptive parents were sleeping, Lucy quietly opened the window, hugged her little doll, and crawled out.
She walked alone through the dark streets and came to her father's house.
She climbed upstairs, knocked on her father's window and shouted: "Dad, Daddy!"
Sam woke up instantly!
He was a little at a loss. His first concern was that his daughter would get sick because it was very cold outside.
"Your clothes are not warm enough!"
Lucy's choice was to live with her father instead of a foster family with better conditions and both parents.
The couple were also shocked when Sam carried the sleeping Lucy back to the foster family in the middle of the night.
"She couldn't sleep, so she came to me!" Sam said while holding the sleeping Lucy.
"When you have time, help her rub her belly, tell her two more stories, and give her half a pancake house to eat, so she can fall asleep!" Sam reluctantly handed Lucy to them.
Before leaving, he was still nagging at me.
Sam found another job, working as a waiter at Pizza Hut, in order to practice more practical applications of arithmetic, because in the end, the judge will test Sam in court, and he will have to prove that Sam has enough brains and is a person who can live a careful life.
Occasionally, he would meet Lucy, and they would go walking the dog together. Lucy's father, who wanted to adopt her, always watched from a distance.
And every night, Lucy would sneak out and cross the street to find her father.
He would take Lucy back to her foster home every day after she fell asleep.
It's like this day after day, almost every night.
But in order to prevent Lucy from sneaking out to see her father again, the foster family replaced the windows with iron beds and locked the door.
The foster mother sat there waiting for her.
She made Lucy a midnight snack, half a pancake house pancake!
"I know you want to see your father, and I don't want to break you up. I really don't want to at all. I hope you can understand, so no matter what, if you want to see him, tell me! You can see him at any time! But we have to make an agreement.
Would you like some midnight snacks?" the foster mother said.
She was also moved by the relationship between Lucy and Sam and was moved by it.
She knew that, obviously, the iron bed and the door lock could lock Lucy's person, but they could not lock her heart of missing her father.
She tried to get closer to Lucy, but Lucy just walked over, took away the half piece of sponge cake, and politely said thank you.
Rita brings her son Willy to Sam's house.
She also brought a suit to Sam, saying it was left behind by her husband when he left.
But Sam said: "They are perfect for each other, she is beautiful, their family is beautiful, and she is very smart!"
Rita said, "Sam, I worry sometimes!"
"Are you worried you've done something wrong?" Sam asked.
"I'm worried about you and me. My relationship with you is more than an ordinary relationship!" Rita said involuntarily as she saw her son playing so happily with the dog.
"No, no, no, I have a lawyer who never loses!" said Sam.
"It's me!" Rita choked with tears.
In order to remember every president and celebrity, Sam's house is filled with their portraits.
At night, Sam was sleeping soundly, recharging his energy for the court session the next day.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw that the adoptive mother of the foster family was standing at the door holding Lucy.
"She's fine. I'm sorry. She fell asleep in the car. I originally wanted to take her back to sleep. You know, it was the room I prepared for her. I wanted to give her a comfortable room, but I was worried that she was in the car.
When our family wakes up, they will want to go back to their own home!" the adoptive mother said with tears.
She liked Lucy very much, but she still brought Lucy and gave her to Sam.
"She's a good girl!" she said, and kissed Lucy.
Then he said to Sam: "I must apologize to you, because I wanted to tell the judge that I could give Lucy the love she never had, but I couldn't speak because I couldn't lie!"
"What you say now is exactly what I hope!"
"Yes, I will! See you in court tomorrow! Save a seat for me!"
Apparently the adoptive mother Lucy met also really liked her!
She was also so reluctant to give up.
"Randy, if I tell you a secret, something I can't do on my own, will you complain to the judge?" When Randy was leaving, Sam suddenly stopped her.
Adoptive mother Randy shook her head.
"No, Sam!"
"you promise?"
"I promise!"
"Because I always hope Lucy can have a mother, help me, I hope someone can help me, not just anyone, you are the red in her painting, I think you are the red in her painting!" Sam said.
Obviously, he also saw that Randy really loved Lucy.
Hearing Sam's words, Randy cried with joy.
"Thank you, Sam!"
In the case of Lucy's custody battle, Sam's love for Lucy greatly benefited the female lawyer who had a tense relationship with her son, and also moved Randy and his wife who adopted Lucy, and they voluntarily gave up their adoption rights.
.This father, who only has the IQ of a seven-year-old child, used his pure love to tell the judge and all parents that all his children need is love.
The ending of the film is very beautiful.
Not only did Sam get custody of Lucy as he wished, but he also found a very loving mother for her so that she could get more love.
On the football field, Sam acted as the referee, and Lucy scored a goal on the green field. Sam hugged Lucy and shouted excitedly, shouting to his friend Rita, Lucy's "mother" Randy.
He hugged Lucy and ran wildly on the football field!
The movie ended, Lucy returned to Sam's arms, the female lawyer also became Sam's good friend, and learned to build friendship with her son.
"Bah bang bang!"
There was warm applause.
In fact, "I Am Sam" does not achieve the ultimate in sensationalism, and to some extent, it is not as sensational as "The Gift of Room 7".
But it's enough and just right.
At least everyone in the internal screening room couldn't help but have red eyes.
Soon the film "I Am Sam" began its final publicity sprint.
It was screened exclusively and received a huge reputation.
As a film critic said: "Father's love is full of inspiration and creation. He may not have money, he may not be handsome, he may not even be smart, but he cannot lack love.
Although Sam only has the IQ of a seven-year-old child, his love for his daughter Lucy is better than that of any father. He can spend the whole afternoon playing with Lucy in the park, and he will read to her thousands of books over and over again.
He would read thousands of storybooks to lull her to sleep, and he would plan a surprise birthday party for Lucy with his mentally retarded friends.
Many parents, they say they love their children more than anything, but in fact they are deceiving themselves. They want their children to grow up the way they envision them, they never listen to their children, they don’t spend time with their children
When it comes to playing and communicating, they just want their children to be "faster, higher and stronger", and they will also compare other children with their own children...
Do they really love their children? Or do they love their own expectations for their children?
In contrast, Sam's love for Lucy is the purest. He and Lucy accompany each other and establish common life goals, although many times, he really can't cope with it.
But so what, in fact, can our normal fathers really be able to cope with everything?"
"No one can guarantee whether children from families with parents with normal IQs will be happy. There is also a parent-child relationship in the film, that is, the relationship between lawyer Rita and her son, which contrasts with the relationship between Sam and Lucy.
.
His son is rebellious, disobedient, and loses his temper at every turn, which is in contrast to Lucy's well-behaved and sensible character. This makes her have to spend a lot of effort to appease her son in addition to her busy career. But she often gets half the result with half the effort.
I feel very frustrated in the parent-child relationship.
Lucy, who has been lavished with love by Sam, is not in the same situation. She has always responded to her father's love, and was even able to avoid reading more difficult books that Sam could not read because of his insufficient IQ to take care of Sam. In order to be with her father.
When she was allowed to go out alone with her father by the child supervision organization, she begged her father to run away with her and live with him. After being sent to a foster home, she climbed out of the window in the middle of the night and went to her father's house nearby.
Go to bed at home.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! She has received abundant love and knows how to love others.
As the film progresses, we can see that the lawyer's son has been lacking the company of his parents, so he deliberately makes various "acts" to attract his parents' attention, which is actually to increase his sense of presence.
At first, it was just to complete a task. As the lawyer who filed the lawsuit for Sam got closer to Sam and his daughter Lucy, she began to admire him for being able to maintain such a close relationship with his daughter, raise his daughter well, and began to wholeheartedly
Help him.
In the parent-child relationship, the IQ of the parents does not play a positive role. It is enough for the children to feel their parents' love for them.
Of course, it's undeniable that Sam's own charisma makes everything around him better.
It can be said that Sam in "I Am Sam" is not a simple mentally retarded father. On the contrary, he has qualities that many people do not have!
His experience made people around him slowly change for the better, and many people were inspired by him to rethink their lives. After the lawyer came into contact with Sam, he decided to rekindle the parent-child relationship. The hostess of Lucy's foster home also got a lovely daughter. These people
Everyone saw some kind of strength in Sam.
What is gratifying is that the film does not regard his lack of IQ as a flaw, but focuses more on describing his love for his daughter.
Has Sam ever been hesitant? I think so. When he saw from a distance that the hostess of the foster home was caring for Lucy and teaching her to draw, the scene looked like a picture from a distance.
A warm and wonderful painting. Sam stopped. He once doubted whether he could make his daughter live a happy life. Would it be better for his daughter to be with him in the future? Would it be better for his daughter to let him live with the current foster family?
Well? At least it seems that they really care about Lucy.
It was his daughter Lucy who finally dispelled his worries. She lost her temper at him, "Why didn't you come to see me last time?" She climbed out of the window in her pajamas in the middle of the night, walked through the dark streets, and came to her father's house.
At home, she chose to live with her father instead of a foster family with better conditions and both parents."
