Very well executed

Touches You

It is a performances centric movie

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

"I'm not like other people. I think in pictures and I connect them" "I don't want my thoughts to die with me. I want to have done something" These two quotes almost summarise what kind of person is Temple Grandin and how she is such an inspirational person. I've never met an autistic and I don't know how they act like, but I was fascinated by the movie. It is a complete art from all its aspects; the acting,the direction and the cinematography, From the very first scene you will be captivated. I loved everything about it and how it referred to her mother's efforts and the idea of the opening doors too. In one scene it gets a bit emotional feeling her confusion and in the other you'll be gripped by the way she thinks. It works for not trying to grip your sympathy for the lead character like many other movies (no offense). Claire Danes had totally turned into Grandin that you forget who Danes is. After watching the movie,I went through some of Grandin's interviews and lectures, this made me appreciate Claire's effort more. The only thing I wished that Danes to lower her voice tone a little bit. Through the videos I watched for the real Temple granding I found her voice is not as loud as in the movie. May be it is in a phase before she became a famous scientist, may be I am overreacting.. One another thing I loved about the movie is being a fast paced without making us lose concentration or get bored.

Very rarely does an actor/actress vanish into a role and become that person they are portraying. Claire Danes did just that. She stopped being Claire Danes, actress, and became Temple Grandin. A respectful and beautifully done telling of the inspiring life of Temple Grandin. Too bad we all cant be a little like Temple. As she says "nature is cruel but we don't have to be". Temple wasn't the only story here, the story of her mother, aunt and her teacher. The people that loved her, respected her and who really saw something special in a girl everyone thought was a weirdo and freak. They inspired her to be just who she was born to be. Bravo and a standing ovation.

I checked ​many​ reviews on "Temple Grandin". So far with all this movie has portrayed ​​these reports fall ​way ​short of what this movie truly deserves. Patty Duke played Helen Keller in the TV movie "The Miracle Worker". She received accolades along with Anne Bancroft. It was cast and produced well done for the time. "Temple Grandin" deserves as much if not more. The drawback to HBO is that shows and actors are not recognized ​by​ the Academy for Oscars. Too bad. Not for the award​s,​ but that Hollywood coverage would create more​ ​ interest for more ​people​ to ​take notice understanding the important and recognition of life's​ ​unique individuals who ​normally ​are​ hidden from view.​

Amazing immersion into a role for Danes, I was superbly impressed with her capture of an autistic woman and can only be quite grateful for this wondrous expression. I have limited experience with autism and have only heard negative comments on Jennie McCarthy's treatise on this insidious disease.After viewing this film I was compelled to express my deepest sympathy for all those parents and children dealing with this affliction. I had no concept of the ill treatment and debasement of many trying to fit in with the 'normies'.I found the treatment of Temple's life and many challenges exemplified by the door analogy and found it inspirational. Humane treatment of animals is such an uplifting topic to many and I appreciate the expansion of how to improve their lot in life and death.Claire Danes career who I have followed since Little Women as well as Romeo and Juliet could not have been better vilified with this vehicle to portray her versatility and verisimilitude in a very complex role.High recommend for families dealing with autistic children, compassionate teachers and mothers, blind students, and most of all those of us who are inclined towards compassion towards those who do just do not fit in with others. What an incomparable film!!
