Temple Grandin--HBO Movie

[PLFXpert 0]

Premiering this Saturday, February 6th at 8 p.m.

I am purchasing HBO for the day to DVR it.
Temple Grandin, Ph.D., is the most accomplished and well-known adult with autism in the world...

Grandin and animal welfare.

Read one of her books; it was remarkably well written and insightful.

Fascinating lady.

Any one in particular?

I plan on reading more in their entirety, but I have read quite a bit of Animals in Translation and a bit of Animals Make Us Human.

I wanted to promote the movie, however, as obviously more people are likely to check that out.

I tried that, too, but no-one we know has HBO.

We actually_do_have HBO just not through the cable box and the way we have everything setup and hidden, it is a bit of a pain to mess with.

Actually, now that I think about it, that is the same reason I have not yet purchased the nice-n-large, widescreen, LCD computer monitor for my office. I would have to take my furniture apart to get to the back of my tower...I literally have the pieces of my five-piece office furniture set screwed together because they did not sit quite flat enough/close-enough together for my tastes, and I found it aesthetically displeasing. I will suck it up soon, though--I really want that monitor and Bill will get stuck doing the drilling & heavy lifting anyway.



Back to the HBO film: Definitely worth watching for both fans of Grandin and for those unfamiliar with her to be introduced.

The DVD has been released.
The movie won 7 emmy awards:Best Made-for-Television Movie, Best Director, Best Lead Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Music Composition, and Best Camera Editing

Lots of innovative cinematography.
It has a commentary with the director, screenwriter, and Grandin. Really good!

I loved that movie! I will definitely need to listen to the commentary to hear what Temple Grandin had to say about the making of the film.

If you're looking for a book that delivers additional insight into how her mind works you might try the Unwritten Rules of Social Relationships.

I used that as sort of a workbook/discussion tool when working with a young girl with Asperger's.

I also love the movie. It was very-well acted and produced. I teared up at the very end when Temple gave recognition to her mom--definitely my favorite part.
