I once worked in a state school and hospital for the mentally handicapped. An IQ of 20 is nearly vegetative. You can't equate IQ with autism. Yes, there are some autistic people with low IQs, but there are others that are geniuses. This man is skilled enough to be on his own. His IQ is more than likely between 60 and 70 from his portrayed character's actions.

i volunteered at an orphanage in kenya and i saw a woman who was i think severely autistic, she couldn't communicate properly, very fidgety, didn't care for hygiene and apperance (the workers/older orphans had to bathe her or she wouldn't do it herself)...etc. But i found out she had 2 kids at the orphanage, which is the only reason she stayed there and she definitely loved her kids it was so clear and very touching to see.... she would watch them from afar for hours while they were playing, whenever she got sweets and treats she would give to her kids, when it was time for food she would give them some her food as extra food and throughout my 3 months there whenever she started freaking out and having a breakdown her daughter was the only one who could calm her down. mentally disabled people love their children just as much as anybody else for sure

Fun Fact: 3 of Sams friends in real life have different forms of disabilities. (For example one has Down syndrome) And this was their first time acting in a movie. They helped Sean Penn act with a mental/learning disability. I think if this movie was made today they would have just used one of his 3 friends as the lead role.

Exactly what I said. I work with people with physical and mental disabilities and an IQ of 20 couldn't perform any of these tasks. At that point someone is making your food, changing your diaper, administering your medication, assisting you while doing even the most simple tasks. Even an IQ of 70 makes life hard. We have guys that have IQ scores around this range and surprisingly hold jobs. But these jobs are very simple and repetitive. One of our guys is a dishwasher at a retirement home. He can perform okay as he does the same thing over and over but even then he needs help sometimes emotionally because others at his job become frustrated with his lack of capabilities. There is no way he has a 20 IQ score.

I also think so. 20 IQ is deemed as profound level. Usually people at this stage can’t even take care of their living necessities not to mention a baby… They would also have problems with understanding people speech and signs such as written word or stop sign. In most case, they can’t speak and only use body languages or other non-verbal languages to communicate. This might associate with movement and sensory issues. Might also have problems regarding controlling emotion. Legally, not only he can’t rise a child, he himself also need to have a caregiver.

A lot of foster parents rape and abuse children as well as their biological parents and social workers can’t do anything. Even after months of paperwork, the higher ups will dismiss any case that takes too long even with evidence because they give zero Fs. There are thousands of ex social workers who quit because of this, even having post traumatic effects because of this.

Who else cried while watching this beautiful recap?😢

Where I work here in Canada, I have met a lot of single parents with cases like this. As long as they are still independent and are able to do basic chores, the care and custody of their baby is given to them but are given follow ups and community resources. They are provided and listed under various charities and non profit organizations that caters to their needs like young moms. Before the baby is discharged with the parent, my work entails of giving them basic parent education, like a whole day doing the feeding, bathing, diaper change, complimenting when done well. And when they do well in 2 or 3 days, we get them liaised with the social worker. I hope that cases like this with a parent does not happen anymore. They can still be a parent, they do give more focus of loving and caring, they do as long as the surrounding system is supportive.

This was the first movie I can recall crying to. As a child, I had a hard time crying because everyone even now expects me to be happy and smiley all the time. You just can’t be, sometimes you’re just sad for no reason at all. Thank you Sean Penn and Dakota Fanning for giving us this masterpiece 💓

This has always been one of my favorite movies. Sean Penn delivered. I also loved how sweet and supportive Sam's friends were of him. I also feel like his lawyer fell in love with him in the end.

Having good supportive people in your life lifts the burden (mental, physical & emotional) but we could also give back and be the supportive one to the one in need... Even a friendly, no-ill intent, genuine "hi" can sometimes help a person getting through the day.

This story beautifully portrays the strength of a father's love and determination despite the challenges he faces. Sam's unconditional love for Lucy is truly heartwarming. Kudos to the filmmakers for such an emotional journey.

😭 it's so hard for people with learning disabilities and mental disabilities. They still try and try to do their best with the abilities they do have. Cheers to them. Life isn't easy for people with no disabilities. It's way worse for people with learning and mental disabilities in many ways.

What bothered me is the mom had 8 months for sure to finally make a choice. She could have asked for help at the hospital to give the baby up for adoption. Feel so bad for the little girl, when she ultimately has to parent him.

@@sonicmiku3009 it is what it is. Now my wife and I just lost our own daughter. Stillborn. Worst day of my life. But we're trying again.

What I love most about this movie is how real it feels, but with an unrealistic ending. It’s dark but shows a brighter future, and it gives neurodivergent people like me and many others hope, even if sometimes it’s really hard to achieve.

truly a breatiful movie. the man has a beatiful little girl, with an amazing brain, personality and ideas. he has the best kind of friends anyone could ask for, and showed him being a hardworking man to try and provide for his little girl.

Those insensitive people in the courtroom must have no kids, so they don't understand how hard being a parent REALLY IS, and a great potential of a father Sam is despite not being as mentally-abled; yeah they are just blindly following the laws in the system though so I don't blame them for some of that. It really pisses me off more when they made Annie cry by asking her about her own father, such small yet horrendous thing I've ever witnessed. So glad Sam has finally won his girl back 😤

Or are people who had the vast resources needed to raise a child these days... or are they basically the sort of people who would be basically called Nazis...

Sam is an honest man! I watched this movie and cried because it's not Sam's fault!

Man this movie never fails to make me cry even the dang recap gets me choked up

My heart is really touched by this story and it makes me cry to see this situation. Arghh... Who's chopping onions here

Just watching the recap itself just made me teared up. How much more if it were the whole thing.

The genius of Sean Penn being cast as a man with an IQ of 20 is that he was able rise to such a level in his acting.

What ticks me off is the poor treatment of people with autism. It would be great if more people were aware other the issue that we go through in everyday life and not assume that we are like everyone else.

This movie just brings tears to my eyes great narration brother

Deiva Thirumagal (God's daughter) is a Tamil movie which is a remake of I am Sam but it's a great movie to watch as the director brought in a lot of changes especially the way emotions are captured.

The similar shot to the Beatles as they walked down the crosswalk made me smile big lol. What a beautiful story. That caseworker made me more angry than any other movie villain. Glad there was a nice ending.

I'M NOT CRYING!!! YOU ARE!!!

The first time I saw this, I bawled. Such a touching film

This hits so hard, I have a little girl 3 years old. I also work only for my child. But unlike that poor fellow she has her mother. People also tried to joke about my common sense and IQ, but when they found that I topped in the Engineering job interview, it put a stop to their jokes. Then they joked about my physique and being fat, but then I worked out hard doing intense cardio and fasting gaining an attractive physique, It finally shut them up. All to prove my worth to my wife and be a good father.

There is a Indian remake of this film, however, in that version at the end the lawyer marries Sam and takes the custody of the child so that they can live together. It's a beautiful film. I loved it when I was a child.

Okay but sam's action his personality its so cute the video just start and i aldready loving him

Such a sweet movie...brought tears to my eyes...

That little girl basically has her own little army it’s so cute

I actually saw this movie in a tamil remake where Sam was a worker in chocolate factory. All his co workers hated him for his stupidity and abused him regularly. But he just kept working there despite that just for his daughter. The daughter wasn't as smart like in this movie, but did have a higher level of EQ to understand that her father was different. Eventually the mother filed a case against Sam for the child's custody and the saddest part was no one was willing to support him except his lawyer who simply took his case as a "fun" challenge. Later he actually won the case miraculously. But the mother's lawyer came to him again to convince him that he simply couldn't take care of the girl. "Think about it. Is she the child in this relationship or are you the child who she's gonna take care in her teenage years?" Sam finally thought about this and started crying, just to realize his daughter might not have a normal, carefree childhood if she remains with him. So at one rainy night when his daughter was sleeping, he took her to the mother saying that she has a fever and he doesn't know what to do. When he leaves his daughter at the mother's house, he tries to go back, but can't move anymore and stands still in the rain. This scene was enough to make grown men cry right in the movie theater 😭😭😭😭

You mis understood a lot in the Tamil remake. First it's not the mother that filed for custody. mother fell in love with Sam character and later dies while giving birth. for 6 years he raise the girl. then the mother's father and a sister(grandpa and aunt of girl) file for custody because Sam is mentally 10 years or something. Actually, they just take the girl and he alone travels to the city not knowing anything. He kinda wins people with how pure he is. A laywer who is struggling to find a case gets to meet him and agrees to help him because it will be a win win situation where her career will jump start and father will get his daughter. Grandpa family hires a laywer who never lost and vicious. Lot of things happen and the rokkie lawyer surprisingly drags the case which is supposedly an easy for senior(OPPOSITION) lawyer. Finally he fed up and asks for Psyche evaluation but also Sam should attend court and prove he is capable. Also, senior lawyer and his men detaines Sam in their home so he won't be able to escape and say to court he is not available. But, when he held him in the house, senior lawyer's kid get fever and his wife didn't know what to do and asks to call doctor, Lawyer be like a little layed back and suddenly Sam ran out of home. Everyone be like he escaped and tries to find him. but, Sam comes back to laywer with tablets for fever and tells to laywer's wife that kids he only wanted help. this act put's vicious laywer to thinking but not concede. next day in court the senior laywer basically rips Sam apart by asking very practical questions which Sam couldn't even comprehend. he first starts with the name of school the girls studying and go on to ask about career, care, even menstruation cycle and tells him in a few years that kid will be mentally older than Sam and if she is with him, forget about helping her become a doctor, she won't even become a nurse. later sam and kid see each other in court but can't meet bcz court is in proceeding. they show how much they love each other by their own sign language and even villain laywer thought for sometime and say he withdrew the case. so Sam wins custody but, later in the night after kid slept and took her to the aunt and hands her over to aunt. tell's her that he understood he can't provide all the things the rich and normally abled family can to the kid. he remembers what laywer says to him in court and he understood that child will have better future with grandpa and aunt. He then gives her instructions on what time she wakes up, what food she likes, what time school is and slowly walks in to the night. This is too big of a comment but too small to explain the emotion i felt. Sam is the real father both in original and remake versions that made me cry.

@@harshaashu2484 Sorry , I actually watched it when I was 4/5 and didn't know the movie name and mainly wrote whatever I understood and remembered at that time. But I do remember the scene where sam brings the child to the rightful guardian and everyone crying at it because of vikram's powerful acting.

what a beautiful movie. OMG. I'm in tears

CPS when a child is getting the shit beat out of them but the living environment is clean, the family has money and the house is big: "Nothing to see here" CPS when a child isn't abused, but the parent is doing their best while poor or having a disability: "This is unacceptable. This happy family must be broken up for the wellbeing of the child" CPS when a case they normally would ignore or half ass, goes viral: "Better take this child away to save face before the public, despite us normally half assing and ignoring worse abuse. " As a survivor of child abuse, physical, psychological, emotional and sexual abuse, with PTSD, I can attest that CPS is a joke.

This seems like a good movie to watch. Very heart warming.

Wow! I thought this movie was sad when I watched many years ago. Now that I'm a father it hits 10x harder.

Who tf are they to judge a person's ability to raise a child? Just seeing their bond and attachment to each other isn't enough for them? If all it takes is just the inability for the child to reach his/her full potential because of his/her love for their parent/s then a lot of people would lose custody over their children. So what if she holds back for her father? It just cares to show how much she loves her father and it shows that she's a smart and wonderful child. I mean how many have raised their children to be more aware and understanding of their situation. She knew he can't afford something so she held back, if that kid ain't aware and understanding enough then I don't know what is.

Nice video. Thank you!

Amazing acting, the way Sean Penn was able to so believably play a character about a million times smarter.

“I Am Sam”, one of my TOP personally favorite movies EVER that will never change. This film holds space in my heart. ❤❤

i was born the year this came out and the fact ive never seen anything about it untill now breaks my heart its such a sweet heart warming story and id love to see more stories/movies told with this much emotion and raw feeling behind it!

Man, You have no idea how this movie and this exact scene 2:18 changed my whole life upside down, Since I have first ever watched it in 2002, I was only 10 years old back then. Now seeing this recap for I AM SAM again brings me back too much memories. Thank you for that!

Man, this was like my childhood back in the day I seen this movie, and I remember my dad ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It is not the well full of knowledge that determines if one is fit to be a parent. It is the heart full of love that determines it. What he lacked in intelligence he made up for in love, compassion, understanding, selflessness and care. Anyone who can love someone that much and try so hard to provide for their child deserves to be a parent. Everyone needs a little help now and again but that doesn't mean that they are unfit. It just means they are human

This is such a beautiful movie!!! Love love this film! Makes me tear up everytime!!!!

Thank you! Went and watched the movie, You just made me watch a beautiful movie, just my eyes were watery while watching it

There are tons of better real life examples of successful autistic parents on KZread. Regular people have been managing parenting while neurodivergent since time immemorial. Regulating your own emotions and processing your feelings in a healthy and appropriate way, and knowing your limits and being able to regulate yourself with healthy coping methods is the most important part. If you truly want to be a dad, that’s something that you and your future partner can absolutely manage if you are willing to put the work in.
