Review body
Porter is an ordinary salesman but with a different approach to his targeted clients. Porter, who was born with cerebral palsy, is a well-humored person cheerful even to his condition and uses it as a reassurance for those who have lost faith. The movie is based on the true story of Bill Porter who has CP go into an interview and because of his condition, he is not offered the chance as a salesman. However, this does not make him lose morale but only injects more enthusiasm, he sources vacancies in many other places, and when he finally lands the job he gives his best not only in sales but changing the lives of his customers by engaging them in solutions solving for their problems. The author William H. Macy who is also the main star in the movie plays the roles well with humor and charisma, he well depicts the way porter becomes attached to the lives of the clients offering them solace to their predicaments. The main cliché lies within porter clientele the way they sympathize with him after narrating his predicaments and how this effect changes in their lives. Porter becomes successful in his sales trade and asks for a challenge from his employer to be en-routed to the hardest route of sales, the route proves to be a headache abut soon Porter is able to relate with the clientele in this route and make a huge sales and bond with them providing solace and advice to their social and domestic problems (Schachter).
Conclusion
This movie is the best portrayal of disability is not inability. This is best displayed by Porter who has CP but is not deterred by this fact to follow his dreams. This movie shows how people with some deficiency ailment are treated in the community when it starts but due to the self-worth of Porter, this turned around and is even used as a turning point for many other healthy people in the society. This is the best movie that has morals that should be adapted not only for the people with disabilities but even those who are perfectly well and healthy. The movie holds the most appropriate theme that almost all the movies that are produced should harbor, this is the possession of the virtue of patience and persistence portrayed by the porter in his quest for good sales.
