The name suggests this the story of Christy brown but the film is far away from reality. The character of Dr. Eileen Cole was completely fictional . There was no such love story in Brown's life . Nothing much was shown about the difficulties that Brown faced due to cerebral palsy . Nothing much about his childhood and how his parents brought him up. The film ended immediately after his marriage because people want happy ending. But in his real life, her wife made his life miserable .
Even if we forget about accuracy, this film still stinks. It's not a biography , it's a collection of some incidents of his life which hardly have any connection. It is supposed to be a story of a man with cerebral palsy but nothing much is shown about Brown's struggle due to that disease. Nothing about the equipments used by the doctors. And not many scenes between Christy and Eileen .
Everybody knows Daniel Day Lewis' acting was great. It's surprising that Hugh O' Connor remained unnoticed . Otherwise, a huuuuge letdown.
