Adam (2009)


Life is challenging because often times you need to overcome your own fear for something. For some people, the fear is more obvious and challenging.

In this movie, Adam has Asperger Syndrome, which is an autism spectrum disorder. In his life, he face a huge challenge - death of his father who had protected him from the 'real' world. He met Beth, who is pursuing children book author - maybe that is one of reasons why she could understand Adam better than other people. Adam soon opens up to Beth and they start a relationship.

Even though Beth was the one who Adam loved the most, at the same time she is a sort of 'replacement' for his father. After all, Adam starts a new life in California with new job, which he really likes and Beth writes a book inspired by Adam and publishes a book 'Adam' about raccoon family in New York Central Park.

The movie ends showing how two once complete strangers influenced each other - In the beginning of the movie, Beth talks about The Little Prince saying that she was the pilot. Meaning she learned about many things, mainly love. However, she is not the only one who learned or changed. Adam also learned from their relationship and Beth.

In life... I continuously learn. Relationship, definitely teach many things.
Life is... very very... interesting... I feel pretty sad with the fact that life is only once. One chance that you don't really want to mess up. Well... that is one of the reasons why life is so precious.
I thank to my parents, who gave me a life - a good life.

  1. I watched it again yesterday (12th May 2010) and enjoyed it. Still think that the leading role actress is... somewhat didn't fit the role.
