| >but when he says a movie is good he has never been wrong I have a crazy anecdote like that too. My severely (barely verbal, had his own barely intelligible language) step brother would watch like a grand total of two movies on repeat. So many times that for a decade afterward you could say a single line from either movie, and I could finish the script for you. Those two movies? Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Willow. After a couple of decades of a break from being forced to watch them I finally did, and they're exemplary. WFRR is objectively incredible: https://medium.com/labjorfaap/who-framed-roger-rabbit-bumpin... as a production, and as work of art. And Willow is one of the best fantasy epics ever made, IMHO. He was maybe ~6 when WFRR came out on VHS could already spot a good movie. He's probably still mentally a poorly functioning 6 despite being 36 now, but there's a lot more to him than his obsession with Christmas. :) I feel like in the years to come we're going to learn a lot from and benefit greatly from autistic folks. (I also might be one.) |
