Best Boy

The subject of the documentary is a handicapped 52 years old man who lives his life under the care of his parents. They have been his caregivers and raised him without teaching viable life skills. After being warned, the film displays the progression of a dependent man on becoming independent once his elderly parents die.

At the time, I didn't have a magnetic attraction to the contents. I am far removed from any disabled or handicapped people. I do have a caring heart for ones who I do meet. Now, I believe that I somehow have a connection. The past week, I have been bedridden with limited restrictions of movement and unable to walk more than 1000 feet. I cannot even walk up and down the stairs without stopping. I become very dizzy and weak.

I, myself, became physically disabled. Unfortunately, I lost an overwhelming, dangerous, and severe level of blood which in return could have caused a heart attack or stroke. There were three times that I thought that I was going to blank out and die. Adding to the dire situation, I asked for someone to watch over me in case I needed emergency help. Unfortunately, there is no one near me to do the good act. At the same time, I am terribly stubborn and independent when it comes the time when others must take care of me and going to the emergency room. This incident gave me the realization of developing stronger relationships with nurturing, caring people around me. I value what I have in my life now. I hold on to dear life. I look forward to recovering and healing 100% in the next week. I am lucky that I didn't become permanently disabled.

Perhaps, I need to do more charity work and have good friends who are nurses, volunteers, and doctors. I have those types of friends in the northwest, Hawaii, Oregon, and Boston. All who wanted to help are from areas outside of California. I find the latest documentaries on the Academy list on helping the less unfortunate is an amazing, unselfish and altruistic act that someone chooses to do in his or her life. I admire the parents who will do anything for their children to provide them a good life.

Being bedridden and thinking about life, I really value the love and care of my parents and the friends who always have been there. I could say that the film displays the affection and responsibilities of one has for their child. In return, they were able to care for the man to live independently. I feel the same about my parents. I would like to view the contents again to truly feel the love of a child even at an adult age and limited conditions.
