Movie #324 "Temple Grandin" was an amazing film. From the get-go, when she introduces herself, the film shows the world through her eyes, a forthright and intelligent woman who just happens to be autistic, but doesn't let the disease define her. Claire Danes is wonderful, and so is her supporting cast. I especially liked to watch the teachers dealing with the way she learns -----that's a fascinating part of the film --- to see her mind at work, and the film so well explores that. It makes learning so exciting, and we are there cheering her on, even against huge and daunting odds-----because she is the way she is, she is constantly picked on by others, and those scenes are tough to watch, because she is such a wonderful character to watch at work. I highly recommend this movie. It'll make you feel good, and perhaps see things in a different way ---- and isn't that what film is supposed to do?
