Re: autism movie- I am Sam

[Guest guest]

Oh, maybe it was *A Beautiful Mind*..but I didn't

think of autism from the previews of *I Am Sam*

either..since they show *Sam* with a big group of his

friends..at the store when they all want a balloon.

Usually, the classic portrayal of autism is being

alone, etc.

I think you are right..it will arouse people's

curiousity and they will go see it..! I want to see

it now..not that I ever get to the movies..I think the

last actual time I went to the movies was to see

*Interview with the Vampire!*
