Temple Grandin...Best Movie of the Year


I just saw what I think was truly the best movie of the year over the weekend...Temple Grandin. It is an HBO film done as a biopic of the life of Temple Grandin.

The role of Temple was brilliantly played by Claire Danes. She was spot on. Her acting was really amazing.

The story is both inspirational and touching. Temple Grandin was born with Autism in a time where little was know about the disease. She grew up knowing that she was "different, not less". She used those differences to revolutionize the cattle industry. That is all I am going to say about the plot, because you really HAVE to see this movie.

Again, one of the things I find so moving about this story is that Temple is able to see problems in a special way. But instead of leaving them there, or simply researching the problem, she finds and implements solutions. Awesome.
