Nestof3 Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Me too...its been sitting on my dvd player for a week....can't wait to watch it, especially after even more good reviews. :) I had it out from the library for three weeks, but my SIL mentioned it this past weekend, so I decided it would be my next movie to watch while on my treadmill. It got me to walk for the whole movie in two walking segments yesterday. LOL I'm currently watching First Wives Club -- different but funny.

mo2 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I really liked it too. And I was actually very impressed with Claire Danes' acting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali in OR Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I've had it on hold at the library for a couple of months now. I think I've gone from 86 on the wait list to 45. Maybe I'll get to watch it sometime this summer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdeno Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 There are some clips on Hulu to hold you over until you get it from the lib. Redbox also has it in New England for $1. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 DH and I watched this recently and liked it so much we watched it again with DD14 and DD11. I was worried that the slaughterhouse scenes would be difficult to watch but they were not. What an amazing woman! Pegasus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpidarkomama Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 We loved it too! DH said it was the ONLY good movie we've seen all year. I think I agree! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12Stars Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 We loved it here too. We rented it at RedBox. It had been recommended to us for a while and I always hesitated to see it. I had only heard of her but never knew what she was like. Since we have a HFA son, he behaves differently than a classic autistic person. I really thought they were going to portray another Rain Man type of autistic, or someone with more classic features, all in all just someone we could not relate to. Wow, what a persepective I got, and how wrong I was. She is so much like my son. My husband was really moved as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnTheBrink Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 *****Warning: May be a bit of a spoiler!****** OK, my favorite scene was when she took the paperwork back to the university after she'd gotten her work signed-off. The advisor (or whomever) said it smelled like the whole herd signed it and she immediately got a mental picture of cattle signing the paper and said, "Cows can't do that." I laughed and laughed because A) I'd have conjured the same mental picture and B) I often miss sarcasm when it comes from people I don't know well. DD's and my favorite saying now is, "Cows can't do that!" :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMW Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Although I know my son was born autistic... although I know he was diagnosed with aspergers at age 7 (his position on the spectrum shifts from time to time... depending on stress in the home, etc.),... it took watching this movie to really help me understand my son. He does not like to be touched or held. As a mom, I WANT to hug him and hold him. And sometimes I feel shut out because he does not want to be held. This movie really helped me. I look forward to sharing it with my son someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom0012 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Would this movie be appropriate to watch with my 9 1/2 year old daughter? Thanks! Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestof3 Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Would this movie be appropriate to watch with my 9 1/2 year old daughter? Thanks! Lisa Yes, unless she is sensitive to the fact that beef comes from cows. There are no slaughterings, but a slaughtering house is visited. My 9 and 11 year old boys watched this when my husband did. Ben asked if there were any more movies about different people. :001_wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocelotmom Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I think maybe I'll see if I can find it at our library. We live with an autistic teen, and it sounds like it might help DS be a bit more understanding of where she's coming from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpidarkomama Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Would this movie be appropriate to watch with my 9 1/2 year old daughter? Thanks! Lisa The only two things that were near the edge were her doctor making a brief (and easily missed) reference to her "squeeze machine" possibly being a sexual turn on (it wasn't), and when a bunch of cowboys covered her truck's window in cow testicles because they didn't want a woman there. This could also easily be missed that it was actually testicles, and not just gross cow parts (like intestines maybe...). I had no problem watching it with my children and we're very, very picky, as in we can't find hardly any movies that we feel are appropriate. Aargh.

Nestof3 Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 I was glad that the doctor asked her if she experienced "relief" -- did he actually use the word "sexual?" Either way, it went over my boys' heads. :lol: The only two things that were near the edge were her doctor making a brief (and easily missed) reference to her "squeeze machine" possibly being a sexual turn on (it wasn't), and when a bunch of cowboys covered her truck's window in cow testicles because they didn't want a woman there.

I don't think many kids would get it from the scene with the dr. Expecially with the visual explanation they showed from her point of view.

12Stars Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 He said relief implying towards the sexual. It went over my kids head as well which I was relieved but was cringing as that scene was unfolding. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
