i, too, have never been a sean penn fan (i just can't get that stupid Ridgemont High movie out of my head and what a creepy little twerp Penn was in that!!)
however, as he's matured and gained some perspective for his various parts i have to admit that he's done quite well. Dead Man Walking was a great performance. the recent one where his brother is killed and he has to uncover some secret (can't recall the movie title...he may have gotten an Oscar for that?). and of course I Am Sam which was a beautiful story no matter who would have starred in it. but Penn was very good, very believable.
now i'll even forgive his briefly foolish marriage to Madonna. he's a good actor and to me has proven himself.

Sam I Am Shows how society can be cruel if a person doesn't conform to the ways of normal people. Well at least what society thinks and says is supposed to be normal... I felt so sorry for Sam. he tried so hard and still he was going to lose. The only reason he won was cause his daughter got place with someone who realized just how much love Sam had to give his daughter. I'm glad Sam got to keep his daughter...

Sometimes,it's the family who is more handicap, than the person. We can't make people see,the hurt. People are so prejudice. Glad some movies,can reach people.

Love Dakota in,MAN ON FIRE. This little girl is raising, in Hollywood. I think she's a gifted young lady. Watched an interveiw,with Letterman. She's just so grown-up. She read beautifully for the part,for I AM SAM. Plus her aunt, is handicapped. Dakota,herself said, she talks to her as a person. Which she said in her interview,which got her the part. Amazing, smart and compassinate,little girl. You might want to check-out: www.dakota-fanning.20m.com/main.htm

I've visited this site, as well as a few of her other sites too (most of them started by fans of hers). I'm not certain if she has an "official" site!
Yes, she is a charming young lady, with a bright future in films! (Although it's hard to believe her future could be brighter than it is now in films!)
Take a close look into her eyes, though. One director who's worked with her in the past, has claimed she has Bette Davis eyes! After he said this, I saw it for myself! OMG, she DOES have Bette Davis eyes! ;D

I like this movie a lot, too. . .I like Sean Penn okay (but I've only seen him in more recent roles), . . .Dakota Fanning is a superb young actress. It's a very touching movie.
There is a young adult novel I read in middle school entitled My Louisiana Sky that deals with a similar theme. Just thought I'd mention it.
