                First of all, I really like music effects of this movie because it use music of The Beatles as BGM. There are many beautiful scenes with these music. That was very impression for me. In addition, I was learned "a real big love about family" by this movie. Unfortunately, Sam has developmental disability. It is too hard to take care of father like a Sam. However, Lucy thinks that it's all right because he is loving and taking Lucy. She never feel shameful about her father. I thought that what a pure girl, and impressed. I was given thinking about love between family and I think don't have to give up soon about everything. That is a poignant story for me.
