The beginning of the film is unique and engaging, showing the director's creativity and making people want to continue watching. The plot after that is compact and smooth, and the story at each stage is very tense. At the same time, with Temple's growth experience and the love and care of the people around her, the film also brings out the various themes or important mottos of the film.

"You are different but not less." from Temple's mother showing love and confidence in her daughter; Temple's natural science teacher in high school understood Temple's ability to observe specific things and visual acuity, and use An image-specific "door" to encourage Temple, "A door's gonna open up onto a whole new world." (And of course near the end of the movie, Temple says, "A door opened, and I went through it.", the lady who helped her said humorously, "Yes, you did. And I held it." It shows that a person's success still needs timely help from others.); In the end, Temple himself realized it. "Nature is cruel, but we don't have to be. We owe them some respect." . . . Every sentence is touching.

In addition to Temple's mother and her high school teacher, another influential but easily overlooked aunt is her aunt. She wasn't used to this weird niece at first, but she was the first person on the show to fully accept Temple. In this part of the Temple University Commencement, except for Temple, I feel like the focus is on her aunt rather than her mother.

In the movie, when Temple's mother always has a sense of guilt about her daughter and gradually accepts her daughter in the process of finding redemption, it is interesting that we never see Temple's father from beginning to end, or at all Not mentioning him makes me wonder what role Temple's father played in her life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Different but the

Same

Born different, unique, supposed to be perfect, but also have the same basic meaning of life. But often because the mainstream values ​​in society are different from others' and ours, others are hurt or their rights are denied. . . It seems that only those on the edge can see a different world.

    As a stupid child who was isolated, excluded, and mocked by the crowd during his childhood due to introverted autism, I just want to say that autism can only be filmed in a movie to be so inspirational, like a "genius" A halo behind. Audiences who pay tribute to Tianbao or even worship may wish to introspect. What do you admire and admire is her social and secular success, or you really admire her for being given "another perspective on the world" given by God.

Temple Grandin quotes

  • Temple Grandin: My name is Temple Grandin. I'm not like other people. I think in pictures and I connect them.

  • Temple Grandin: ...They'll be very calm. Nature is cruel but we don't have to be; we owe them some respect. I touched the first cow that was being stunned. In a few seconds it was going to be just another piece of beef, but in that moment it was still an individual. It was calm... and then it was gone. I became aware of how precious life was. I thought about death and I felt close to God. I don't want my thoughts to die with me. I want to have done something.
