I saw Mozart and the Whale in addition to Rain Man. Both by the same writer, in case you were wondering... Both worth seeing.

I liked both Mozart and the Whale and Rain Man (allthough Rain Man is an awfull portrayal of autistic people). Edward Scissorhands is also based on Tim Burton himself, who claims to have Asperger's syndrome.

Mozart and the Whale. My mother was so happy when we watched it together. She kept pointing at the screen and saying, "If I had a nickel for every time YOU did that. . ."

Both "Bless the Child" and "Silent Fall" get really, really rotten ratings on Rottentomatoes. Were they really that crap?
