In lesser hands, MY LEFT FOOT could have come across as a stunt lacking much emotion...but under the careful hands of Director Jim Sheridan and the great Daniel Day Lewis....this story of Christy Brown is touching, funny, beautiful, and perfectly frustrating.  To see how Christy was trapped in his own Cerebral Palsy body is so heartbreaking and excruciating...yet the movie does not ask for sympathy or pity.  The movie wonderfully portrays a story where the lead has a hardship but overcomes it. It is a classic idea...but seeing Daniel Day Lewis at his best makes the entire movie feel original.
