The story of this film is really true. A mentally abnormal man having sex with a young light-minded lady and the result is an innocent child abandoned by her mother. The lady is obviously a person unable to take care of her child and fulfil her duties as mother, so she left the child to Sam, the abnormal man, a typical autistic, who, however, did all his efforts to raise her lovely daughter. Due to his difficulties to raise her, the law came to take her away for better education and living in another family. Sam loves her and moved to another house close to the one of the family where her daughter lives, and this may possible to her to visit so often her father and to even sleep from time with time with him. In conclusions, both love each other. I would not argue about the law, i.e. whether it was right or not when the Sam's daughter was taken away from him, I'd rather talk about the extraordinary acting of Sean Penn supported by Michelle Pfeiffer, he was simply the best. The film is very sentimental, but it makes me think whether the developed societies are doing enough to educate young women and men in their responsibilities as future parents.
