Philomena Hansen Film- Thea 1070 Instructor: Stephen Williams 03 March 2, 2016 Analysis Essay An expert on animal behavior temple Grandin has design humane handling systems for half the cattle processing facilities in USA. She had decreased the amount of fear and pain that animals experience in the final hours. The movie Temple Grandin will combine both of her autism with career. With an incredible mise en scène to help us understand how temples mind works in the movie. The beginning of the movie seemed pretty skeptical in which direction it was heading. The film portrays the mind of the central character in a very amazing way from the beginning until the end of the movie. The movie makes you feel like you were in the mind of the character, the technicity of portraying the mind of temple made the authenticity of the movie. The effectiveness of the actress Claire Danes portrays in her role as temple was very genuine. The filmmaker wanted us to learn several things from the movie. The primary goal seems to place the audience in the head of someone with autism. To experience everyday life above average intelligence, thinking patterns and social cues and behaviors. The movie

created an emotional connection within those who aren't familiar with autism. The movie also tried to use the opposite meaning of disability to gifted saying this credit of gift helping her achieve success when nobody thought she would be capable. Possibly changing our perspective from clipping the wings of disability to allowing the wings to develop may allow for more innovation or invention. After all temple always referred to her autism as different but not less. Throughout the movie the author uses colors, when it was in temples mind he will use black-and-white then colorful colors in her outside or in her environment. With the mise en scène as the film goes on, the images used show how deep and detailed temples mine works, when arriving at the farm she opens and closes the gate, she was doing that to show an image with the degree of the gate as it closes and she was calculating how it worked. Also when temple first arrived at the airport in Arizona she call her aunt and says how hot it was then added “I can see the heat” that was the first inside of how temples mine works and once again the mise en scène helped us to see that clearly. Several times in the movie there were flashbacks, example of the wallpaper when temple was visiting the psychologist with her mom. The mise en scène here showed the year and the style using at that period of time, but also it showed how temples mind was working already at that age. The message of this movie was more than interesting because having a disability is definitely hard and what makes it more troubling is when others don't quite understand. The movie for sure gave the society a new perspective about people with autism. The

metaphors used in the movie were quite amazing and make it clear to understand more people with autism. The movie also uses parallelism of temple observing animal behaviors and her using it or applying it in her life because she is a visual learner. The chronologically wasn't linear there were some jump back to temple childhood. The settings in this movie were very interesting. The movie extended in many different issues in parallel of autism, it touched schizophrenia showing the insufficient of maternal affection. It shows different institutions about temples interacting in her learning environment. It also showed her psychology approach and her graduating with a degree in psychology and doing a master’s degree in animal science, knowing her using previously an observation of animal’s behavior to help her dealing with her life. The movie also showed that temple faces sexism while trying to integrate in the world cattle ranching. It shows how temple was brave and determined. Conclusion, temples life as an autistic person has increased the worlds understanding of the condition with personal immediacy and help rise autism diagnosis. She is the voice for those who are sometimes challenged to make themselves heard and the movie demonstrate all of these aspects in its wonderful mise en scène. The mise en scene helped us viewers to see through the eyes of temples Grandin. It was an amazing way for a film maker to help us understand from the natural progression of simple images to her feelings, how she thought until to how she coped with her autism.
