There might be spoilers in here, but I don't think I will give much away.
When I read the description on the box, it caught my attention. I wasn't sure about it because the movie is in Mandarin and I would have to rely on subtitles. I don't believe I have ever heard autism mentioned in any other country and I was intrigued, so I purchased the movie.
I am the father of a 23 year old autistic girl. I have been around other autistic children and found the acting to be very believable. The storyline is heart wrenching. The writer had to have had some experience with an autistic family in some way, this movie made me see many things that are parallel to my life. I think all parents of disabled children worry about what will happen to the child when they are gone. I have to admit that I started crying a few times during this movie.
While this movie is based in China, it really is universal. I believe it conveyed the feelings and emotions of all parents of autistic children. If you want to get a glimpse of the life of a family with autism, this movie will give you a slight idea. There is so much more pain and heartbreak and frustration that is not a part of this movie, but it is still a small window into autistic life.
I wish I was able to contact the director and actors directly to thank them for this movie and express how emotional it was watching it.
I HIGHLY recommend this movie, it was very well done.
