Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I will check out some of these. Here are a couple favorites of mine: (1) Straw Dogs ( Hoffman, c. 1968, plays a physicist who cannot relate to countrey folk in his wife's home town, but triumphs in the end- really good!) (2) The Snow Cake (Segourney Weaver plays an HFA woman whose daughter was killed- other big name acto5rs are in it) Janet Zimmerman wrote: PLEASE ALLOW ME TO restate what I said. I feel that I was misunderstood. I thought the acting was terrific and the characters very engaging. It is just that the viewer only had a little 'peek' into who the characters were and what they were doing and why... (other than the main characters which was more in-depth). It was an odd sensation for me to see on the screen so many autistic people all at once. I felt like I was on another planet! The few NTs in the show were all pretty dull, to say the least. I especially liked the red-haired lady that smiled all the time. I would have liked to talk to her about some things. thanks for the links to the shows...this is a cool site.. I love movies especially old classics. Boston Legal is my favorite.. but I never really saw what is was about the Jerry character that made him AS....talk later, jkz I know you think the characters seemed absurd in mozart and the whale well it seems most of the characters were in high spectrum.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 ok try this one....a movie that has AS features but not necessarily an AS feature movie, certainly was made prior to translation of Aspergers work.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 yes hoffmans character was known to be an autistic savant...this has been discussed. everyone who encounters AS for the first time thinks hoffmans character. those who have time...watch the movie again...tom cruises character demonstrates spectrum traits more similar to AS than hoffmans.
