Drama, with adult themes
The true story of Temple Grandin, an autistic child who grows up, goes to college to becomes a doctor of animal husbandry, and invents many designs for livestock, particularly cows who are slaughtered for human consumption. This movie shows that the faith that a mother or father may have in a child and the faith of a sick child to become more than what society says they can is triumphant with the help of God. Temple overcomes many obstacles because of her obstinateness and her simplicity poses no threat to anyone so as a result of her complete humility, people listen to her ideas. The movie touches the heart of those who try to accomplish great things in a world that tries to suppress new ideas and the people who have them. But again, in this case, the goodness of one soul succeeds in the end, and Temple accomplishes greatness despite her seeming handicap. Claire Danes deserves an Oscar for her performance.
