autism

"an abnormal absorption with the self; marked by communication disorders and short attention span and inability to treat others as people"

Asperger's syndrome

"...is characterized by normal intelligence and language development, but deficiencies in social and communication skills..."

This is a movie review, of sorts

Bleary eyed as i managed to stay awake and attempted to watch the semi finals italy vs germany, the pace of the match made me shift focus to other channels.... On start movies was on, a weird looking movie.... Decided to pursue it cos i saw Radha Mitchell, a good lookin babe of sorts.... Then entered Josh hartnett, the only other movie of whom i've seen is 40 days 40 nights... This movie, as i later found out is called Mozart and the Whale, is about the topics i've listed above.. Although autism to many ppl rings a bell about One mr Dustin Hoffman and the movee Rainman, i must say this movie definitely portrayed an interesting scenario with interesting characters.....

What do you get when you throw two people "suffering" (controversial word) from autism into a relationship?!? You get a situation, where the girl says to the guy in a scene "Hey cmon its all about sex now !" ... The girl is apparently devoid of a censor in her mind.... She says what she feels (So not me..... My feelings shall from now on not be posted here, to trouble my devoted readers.... Lets just say my feelings have found another refuge, a s'e-'cret place.... )

Hartnett, who played the comic, loverboy in 40 days 40 nights, gives a good performance. That i woke up after watching this movie, is partly due to his performance and partly due to the fact that i started thinking abt how autism/Asperger's syndrome affects ppl and how close normal ppl (like me) are to being autists (dono if its the right usage) !!

gham-e-hasti khareedne walo, maut sasti hai log kehte hai

Phew ! I finally found out what this means..... This means "oh ppl who are looking to buy a sadness filled life, it seems death is cheap enough...."

Devre!?!? ankonde
