As for Fanning, I haven't seen her in a film yet where she didn't threaten to steal the whole thing from her senior, much more experienced colleagues, and during the filming of I Am Sam she was only 6 or 7. Pfeiffer perfectly executes a complex character who has to undergo a number of far reaching transformations and even a breakdown of sorts. Nelson and her co-writer, Kristine Johnson, spent a lot of time at L.A. Goal, a non-profit agency dedicated to helping such people through a variety of programs, and it's next to impossible to tell them apart from the other actors. Two of the men playing his friends really were developmentally disabled, having been found at L.A. Sean Penn is completely natural and believable as a developmentally disabled man. I Am Sam will likely make you say, "Wow!" afterward because it is a masterpiece on every artistic and technical level.All of the major cast members give one of the best performances of their careers, and many of these actors have had a number of artistic triumphs on their résumés. Government officials question his ability to raise his daughter, and I Am Sam becomes the tale of Sam's legal battle to retain custody of Lucy, aided by high profile lawyer Rita Harrison Michelle Pfeiffer. At least until he is "accidentally arrested". Aided by a quartet of developmentally disabled friends and his agoraphobic neighbor, Annie Cassell Dianne Wiest, we see Sam doing his best to raise the girl, Lucy Diamond Dawson eventually played by Dakota Fanning -so named because Sam is a big Beatles fan. A woman is in labor and it turns out that he's the father, but she wants nothing to do with him afterward-apparently, it was something like a one night stand. We see Sam running through the streets, catching buses and so on to end up at a hospital. Suddenly, his boss tells him that he has to go. Because of this, he's given only menial tasks to do. He lives in Santa Monica and works at Starbucks. I can only blame myself for putting off watching her work for so long.I Am Sam begins with Sam Dawson Sean Penn at his job.
Rotten eggs.But I won't bill director/co-writer Jessie Nelson, because it's not her fault that her film is so powerful and so stunningly constructed that it made me monosyllabic.
