我的左腳 My Left Foot

愛爾蘭、英國 Ireland, UK｜1989 ｜DCP｜Colour｜103min｜6+

★ 1990 奧斯卡金像獎 最佳男主角、最佳女配角

鏡頭裡，只見一隻靈活的腳掌，銜起黑膠唱片、瞄準好唱盤，流暢地完成播放音樂該有的動作程序，彷彿左腳才是男人靈魂的真面目。生於愛爾蘭貧困家庭，天生腦性麻痺的克里斯蒂．布朗靠著他僅存能活動的左腳，成為著名的作家與畫家。然而，求愛一再失敗的他，似乎迷失於自己僅配得上同情與精神面鼓勵的慰藉；每一個看似矯正的推進，卻都再次鞏固「何為正常」定義的辛酸，等待破繭。改編自同名自傳，以今昔交織的敘事結構，緩緩道出克里斯蒂畫作形塑的過程，生命是在遺憾與追憶中，相互堆疊出重量，成為不朽。影史三座奧斯卡影帝丹尼爾．戴路易斯演技代表作，不僅橫掃各大獎項，片中母子間糾葛的愛恨交織，亦讓飾演母親的布倫達．弗里克獲得奧斯卡最佳女配角。隨著鏡頭下每一筆觸，訴說語言無法觸及的黑洞，過去陰影是否能逆轉為養分，真正綻放幸福之花呢？

My Left Foot is the true story of Irish writer and cerebral palsy victim Christy BROWN. Paralyzed from birth, he is written off as retarded and helpless. But Christy's indomitable mother never gives up on the boy. Using his left foot, the only part of his body not afflicted, Christy learns to write. He grows up to become a well-known author, painter, and fundraiser, and along the way falls in love with nurse Mary CARR.
