Temple Grandin, an autistic women who invented the "Hug Machine" or
"Squeeze-box" during her college years. It is designed to calm down
hyper-sensitive people, usually individuals with ASDs. Even though the
machine worked well for Temple, the school forced her to get rid of it.
Later on, Temple and her aunt came back to school to persuade them to
let her use her apparatus.
Temple goes to Hampshire Country School where she meets a very kind
teacher, Dr. Carlock, who encourages her to go further into science as a
career and to attend college.
Furthermore, she graduates from college and becomes a worker in a
ranch. She remodels a new dip and alters a slaughterhouse for cows so
that it is much more humanitarian.
At the end of the film, Temple and her mother attend to autism fair
convention. She tells the audience how she vanquished her difficulties
and was able to achieve a master's degree in animal science from Arizona
State University in 1975, as well as how her mother helped her deal
with everyday life. People became so bewitched that they requested
Temple to speak in front of the auditorium.
Finally, it is a beautiful movie with a great message, making you
believe that you should leave something beneficial in the world no
matter how small. Besides, the acting was amazing, and I think Claire
Danes has done a brilliant job acting as Temple Grandin. The movie
overall is very interesting.
