Happy Easter and Bunny Day to all!!! I couldn't resist drawing this line up based on my ECCC photo of Hugh with bunny ears! 🤭🐇💕

I just finished watching it. And honestly?

I really liked it.

-

The direction and acting was very good, especially for being a movie from 2009. Taking in everything about the film with the narrative context and time period, I guess my only gripe would be that the movie kind of paints Adam as being unable to lie? Which I know from experience is definitely a false stereotype. (although he does display a very obvious aversion to lying that could be chocked up to his in-character upbringing)

Hugh Dancy and Rose Byrne did an Incredible job portraying two people with different social skills and needs meeting and finding attraction to one another.

I don't have Asperger's, but I do have a different kind of neurodiv, and it was surprising and pleasing to see a portrayal of "a person who just happens to have and need different things from the world around them" in a movie that wasn't condescending, glorifying, or in any way unpleasant to watch.

Although there were definitely some parts where I went "Why didn't his dad teach him this/tell him about this? 😭" (the job hunt or the cop scene) but I could also reasonably explain them away by order of grief or Adam having A Completely Different Set of Priorities at That Moment™️, which, Reasonable

I also quite liked the characters developments throughout the movie.

And given that I watched Adam for Hugh Dancy and the HEU (which I am new to), I was worried about how he was gonna act the part, but I was Definitely relieved and honestly really excited to see all the little nuances and microexpressions he was able to exhibit. As the viewer, it was easy for me to "put myself in their shoes", or get a snippet of the feelings that were being articulated (cause ain't that what a movie for amiright?).

I've heard about the hate Beth receives from the fandom, but aside from the movie having a bittersweet ending, her reactions and decisions were pretty rational-izable within the context of the movie and time period, I honestly kinda liked her.

Loved Beth's mom any time I saw her, she was a ride or die and that's my favorite kind of character.

Hated Beth's dad tho, he was a dick and pissed me right off with practically every word that came out of his mouth.

Harlan (and by extension Adam's dad), were really great too. Aside from the weird feeling I got when I noticed Frankie Faison cast as a "wise black man who supports the main character", I loved his character too, and how he learned from Adam just as much as he was a friend who helped his (recently deceased) best friend's son.

Overall, 9.9/10

:)

Somebody talk to me about why Adam (2009) is a bad move for autistic representation on screen please.

Give me your essays, your rants, your piping hot pressure cooker contents that are pounding in both your skull and dental cavities and causing a whistling sound to come out of your ears.

No annoyance too small, no frustration too old.

(pls I'm begging Adam fanfic is literally a key part of me learning abt autistic behaviours and now it turns out the real autism was inside me all along, I need my more educated brethren to share their hyperfixation-acquired educational material)

And Nigel holds him to that every night for a month!

AND buys Bobby the most expensive brand out there and rejoices when he ruins the “waterproof” claims! And Bobby’s throat! He can barely talk at the end of the month! #RoarDogs
