The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

"I'm not like other people. I think in pictures and I connect them" "I don't want my thoughts to die with me. I want to have done something" These two quotes almost summarise what kind of person is Temple Grandin and how she is such an inspirational person. I've never met an autistic and I don't know how they act like, but I was fascinated by the movie. It is a complete art from all its aspects; the acting,the direction and the cinematography, From the very first scene you will be captivated. I loved everything about it and how it referred to her mother's efforts and the idea of the opening doors too. In one scene it gets a bit emotional feeling her confusion and in the other you'll be gripped by the way she thinks. It works for not trying to grip your sympathy for the lead character like many other movies (no offense). Claire Danes had totally turned into Grandin that you forget who Danes is. After watching the movie,I went through some of Grandin's interviews and lectures, this made me appreciate Claire's effort more. The only thing I wished that Danes to lower her voice tone a little bit. Through the videos I watched for the real Temple granding I found her voice is not as loud as in the movie. May be it is in a phase before she became a famous scientist, may be I am overreacting.. One another thing I loved about the movie is being a fast paced without making us lose concentration or get bored.

Temple Grandin (Claire Danes) isn't diagnosed as Austic until much later in life, but she is lucky enough to be born into a wealthy family with a loving mother who never gave up on her child's challenges. Temple didn't speak until she was four, was kicked out of public school and placed in the Hampshire Country School for children with behavioral problems after throwing a book at a student who was teasing her. There she meets William Carlock, a Science teacher who once worked for NASA who becomes her lifelong mentor. This event, and a summer she spent on her step-father's sister's ranch in Arizona at the age of 15 change the course of her life.This film shows the challenges a person with Austism faces and what is possible given the right circumstances and opportunities. Temple received a Ph.D in Animal Husbandry, teaches at Colorado State, and is a spokesperson on Autism.

It's summer 1966 Arizona. Temple Grandin (Claire Danes) is an autistic woman staying at her aunt Ann (Catherine O'Hara)'s ranch getting ready to go to college. She can't understand people but finds it easy to understand horses and cattle. She comes up with a squeeze box to calm herself. With the help of her loving but overwhelmed mother (Julia Ormond), mentor Dr. Carlock (David Strathairn), and others, she is able to study, publish, and work on animal handling despite facing a disbelieving and alien world.This is a surprisingly powerful movie. Claire Danes delivers a great performance. I have never cared for animal handling more. This is more than a TV movie and this could have turned into a movie of the week. Instead, it's cinematic and emotional. The story is so compelling and she is such a great underdog story. It builds to heart-warming final scenes at the autistic convention.

Amazing immersion into a role for Danes, I was superbly impressed with her capture of an autistic woman and can only be quite grateful for this wondrous expression. I have limited experience with autism and have only heard negative comments on Jennie McCarthy's treatise on this insidious disease.After viewing this film I was compelled to express my deepest sympathy for all those parents and children dealing with this affliction. I had no concept of the ill treatment and debasement of many trying to fit in with the 'normies'.I found the treatment of Temple's life and many challenges exemplified by the door analogy and found it inspirational. Humane treatment of animals is such an uplifting topic to many and I appreciate the expansion of how to improve their lot in life and death.Claire Danes career who I have followed since Little Women as well as Romeo and Juliet could not have been better vilified with this vehicle to portray her versatility and verisimilitude in a very complex role.High recommend for families dealing with autistic children, compassionate teachers and mothers, blind students, and most of all those of us who are inclined towards compassion towards those who do just do not fit in with others. What an incomparable film!!
