Unfortunately, this film makes me a little confused on the story as Sam's wife Rebecca was or not. And Lucy was the biological child of Sam or Lucy is a child of the pregnant women who have been found. One thing that puzzles me is the group of friends Sam consisting of five people, Sam, Ifti, Joe, Robert, and Brad. But at night the first video to Sam when Lucy comes first in his house there are 5 friends who were visiting that seems to have Down syndrome as well as Brad. Yet at the entrance to his house the first time there were only four people standing there, but in the end when Sam sat the room they are 5 and 6 with Sam. That's what makes me a bit confused and did not explain who the film is named sodium absorption ratio. He said that Lucy looks very pretty.

This movie teaches how to parent their children. Here can be seen how the intellectual capacity or IQ does not hamper one's affection given parents to their children, as well as compassion for others. He would hug her setiapp seen crying. As expressed by Lucy when Mr.Turner provide a statement that he would get more than what his father gave. "All you need is love". This staple of every child who grew up loving parents is needed. And a mentally retarded memeberikan not blocked it ..
I am sam is a picture of the lives of the mentally retarded or mentally impaired and dyslexic. He was seen as a gaping behavior when thinking, yelling and spinning as well as repeat-ngulang said. He is also hard to read when reading the textbook's Lucy.
We should learn from Sam and his colleagues. Those who experience a barrier provided by the creator can do the activity with pleasure and without complaint. With the limitations that they have they have a purely humanitarian spirit, helping each other with sincerity that they have souls.
            Overall I am sam is giving a message to parents and teachers, how to become a good educator or goodparent it is about its constancy, and its about patience, and its about listening and its about pretending to listen when you can Aven ' t listen anymore, and its about love. An excerpt of the said Sam while fighting for custody in court against her daughter. That's about the courage and loyalty, patience in educating and caring, listening and pretending to listen even when you can not hear at all, and it's about love and affection that is given to the child's genuine. Not limited by the intellectual capacity (IQ) person.

The film stirred my heart and strengthen the education departmentto be exceptional. I am sure of this because the department still needed a lot of people here to help them fight for the rights of people with special needs. In addition to getting the job easier forteachers to exceptional schools at this time is needed, I wanted to feel how to teach the truth benarnya.Karena encouragement andsupport from my teachers would prefer to leave the department of nutrition and special education majors. family initially refused buteventually had to give permission and support. Because while visiting my friend's house, there happened to his house beside the school SLB C Tunagrahita. I saw the condition of underprivilegedschool. Starting from the facilities, teachers and even methods ofteaching. Seeing them learn and be taught the teacher I was interested to come teach them.

Paradigm of society towards people with special needs is still bad,such as books and some movies I've watched this mengenaispecialneeds. That's why I tried to convince everyone that asked to changetheir perceptions of these people. I vowed to always be on this path,and continue it to a higher level when finished later. I also intend toexamine how the state special education outside of Indonesia.
Of family support and I am sure teachers with these majors.
