There are a few parts of the film that touched me deeply and brought tears to my eyes. When I first watched it, I didn't know the background of the whole film, and I only vaguely felt that Temple's personality and habits were different from normal people. But I was amazed at her visual ability, as well as her computing ability, which can be seen from the door of the farm she made. She accidentally found a way to calm down the cow, and then she imitated the way of squeezing to calm down and settle down. But it's obviously not acceptable to those of us, because that's just weird. Temple is also in danger of dropping out of school because of this, but she has verified that this method is effective for people through her own data collection and experiments, so that the school keeps the machine. Of course, this is also related to the understanding of her blind roommate. Due to autism, Temple will suddenly become restless, nervous and impatient. We may rarely or never have such a situation, and we cannot experience the feeling of being overwhelmed. Temple needs a hug, but because of autism If you are willing to be in contact with people, you will feel the feeling of hugging and calm yourself by squeezing. A hug is a simple thing to us, but for her, that feeling needs a machine to satisfy. When I see this, I always want to sigh with emotion for an autistic person, how much inconvenience their life is, and we usually think that simple things may be a luxury for them. Like many autistic people, Temple has a lot of incomprehensible things about human society. She can't understand some of people's activities and thoughts. They live in their own world, and even seem to be out of line with the normal world in our eyes. We should understand them more and care for them. And some people with autism have many other ordinary people can't match their specialties. For example, Temple's visual memory is beyond ordinary. We should learn to appreciate their advantages and guide them to learn to use their own strengths instead of rejecting them.
Speaking of appreciation and care, I have to mention Temple's mother, who touched me the most. Especially the sentence "Diffrent but not less" she said to the teacher made me feel the love of a stubborn mother for her daughter. I can understand the sadness and anxiety of a mother when she heard that her daughter is autistic, and when she was at a loss to ask the doctor about the cause and treatment of the disease, the doctor told her that her daughter's disease was related to the lack of maternal love. What a blow to the mother. Mothers do their best to talk to their daughters and create conditions for their daughters to learn and enter this society. How much pain the mother will have in her heart. There were tears in her eyes when she talked to the science teacher and the doctor. It was the bitterness of a mother. No mother is willing to give up her children, and facing an autistic child, one can imagine how much effort Temple's mother has spent to teach Temple, teach her to speak, and teach her to understand the things around her. However, Temple's mother is lucky and successful. Temple's ability to achieve something and live successfully in this society is inseparable from her mother's efforts.
The science teacher also played an important role in Temple's life. He was able to discover what was special about Temple, and he could guide Temple to use his strengths to think about problems and research problems, and to help her when she needed it. His phrase "every door leads to a whole new world" played an important role in Temple's life. However, when the teacher died, Temple left her favorite badge on the teacher at his funeral, but she still couldn't understand what death was. The sentence "Where did they go?" She was puzzled and sad, but powerless. Temple said that the teacher was in her mind. This was what the teacher told her when her horse died. She still remembered it, but this time it was the teacher who left, which made people a little sad.
This film is based on real events and I believe the real Temple himself has gone through a lot more and more difficult than what is shown in the film, and I also know that not all autistic people All have special abilities like Temple, but equally, I hope we treat them with an equal eye, caring for them, appreciating them, understanding their world, their own unique kingdom.
