Simon Birch

Wow, what an amazing movie! It teaches a good lesson, well many lessons.

*a 12 year old boy, born with a birth defect (the size of a toddler), into a home where his parents could care less

*Simons' best friend, Joe, is also an outcast, born to a single mother, he doesn't know who his father is

*Simon speaks out to what he knows is true and gets flack for it...other's believe it's because of his disability, but if he was a normal child, no one would care

*Simon believes that one day he will be a hero, and that his life has a purpose

*everyone else thinks he's crazy

*so, this movie teaches that just because one is small and appears unable to accomplish his dreams/beliefs, anything is possible

It's about life, death and everything inbetween. Our actions may lead to many different things, but even though the outcomes may seem unintentional, God has a hand in everything. Go watch Simon Birch, but have some kleenex handy.
