adam, mozart and the whale, and ben x are great movies.
i have recently gotten in the habit of watching both adam and mozart and the whale at least 1-2 times a month. i just watched adam a few days ago and i'll probably watch mozart before thanksgiving (or even tonight). i think im just searching at the moment for more comfort and acceptance of being aspie by watching movies about aspies.. If only i could meet "beth" in real life, life would be better. well for awhile at least. until i move to California and work at a planetarium and she writes a book about raccoons named mark.
does anyone think they could do a Adam 2? they could take it to the next step of a successful, long term relationship ending with a marriage or maybe an adam as a married man diagnosed with asperger's and the trials/tribulations of his life. At least with mozart it has a more happy love ending.
The ending to Adam was not all gloomy. There is at least a glimmer and a hope that the relationship can be renewed or continued. After all, Beth does (or did) love Adam.
When Adam said he loved beth it came our more like he -needed- Beth which was certainly the case.
By the way did you notice how Adam ended up his lecture. He said, maybe it is better of you all went out a looked at the sky. It sounds like he was becoming more "human". That is the story of my life. Over a period of decades (I am an old geezer) I learned to adapt to the NT world and I even developed a "feel" for the NT modalities. I "pass" for human rather easily these day. And I was fortunate enough to meet and marry "my Beth". My wife is an NT and we get along just fine (53 years and counting).
