I'm a lawyer now. I watched this movie when I was in the fifth grade. I was in boarding school and the school took us to watch the movie..All of us fifth graders cried since we could all relate. Fast forward 13 years later and I still cried almost throughout the movie.
A movie of this caliber, in a nation of this size where so many special needs kids are ignored, bullied and ill treated for being who they are, should be a shame on the people who pick the Oscar nominees. This movie battles so many topics, while touching the heart of the person who's watching it, and ensures that a clear and meaningful message is delivered to the audience.
I've always loved Amir khan. He's a true inspiration to genuine actors and the public in general. He's going to be a legend. He's someone il talk about to my grandchildren if I ever have any.
I hope that he reads this review one day and smiles the way he's made me smile. He truly deserves it.
