Simon Birch True Hero
Ujdhesa Sutaj Based off of
A Prayer For Owen Meany by American author John Irving,
Simon Birch is a coming of age movie with a sense of drama and a comedic twist. It was created in 1998 by director and screenwriter
Mark St even Johnson
.
Simon Birch (Ian Michael Smith) and Joe
Wenteworth (Joseph Mazzello) are boys who have a reputation for being abnormal. Joe never knew his father, and his mother Rebecca, refuses to tell him, no matter how often he pleads.
Simon, meanwhile, "is an 11yearold dwarf whose outsize personality belies his small stature"Joe Frontera. Simon often asks the local reverend (David Strathairn) questions about god and his special purpose and joins Joe on his quest to find his biological father.
Simon Birch is born with a rare condition that makes him smaller than all the rest of the kids in town. Because of his condition, he believes that God made him for a special reason.
Simon and his best friend Joe, are both outcasts : Joe is the son of the town beauty, and
Simon, at age 12, is so small that he still plays the infant Jesus in the church Christmas pageant. In the summer of 1964, their relationship is put to the test when Simon hits a foul ball that strikes a disaster for Joe. Together, they try to find out who Joe's father is. Just as they suc ceed, a situation arises that demands a very small hero.
Simon Birch is a buddy movie, it focuses on two boys who are best friends, and it's set in the early 1960s. So there's a feeling that the action is diminished in the past. They quickly make themselves adored by the audience. Although their routine is typical playing baseball, racing to the creek for a swim, discussing girls the script has them perform tasks that help you see their inner struggles. Simon's humor is especially endearing. Joes mothers importance is serving as Simon's mom away from home, one who cares about him, unlike his
real parents, who permit Simon to live
