Review of Temple Grandin (2010) by Stella D — 10 Dec 2010
Outstanding bio of an unusual woman: temple grandin is america's most famous autistic person. the fact that she wasn't institutionalized growing up in the 50's is a testament to her mother and a series of teachers who struggled to penetrate temple's thought process.
the film is the most realistic depiction I have yet seen of the world of an autistic person. temple went on to become a doctor of animal science who revolutionized the cattle industry and a leading spokesman for autistic people everywhere, showing great courage in the face of others' rejection and scorn along the way.
claire danes is an actress of whom I never thought much but she is remarkable here. and the director of the bodyguard? seriously? I laughed, I cried, I learned stuff...
