"I think just this whole movie caught me off guard with how good it was I know it was Oscar nominated on in several categories in one awards but I hadn't seen it before um and watching this film was just an incredible experience," says Ben. "This is an amazing depiction of watching someone work their way through trauma and grief while also showing a really good depiction of what someone who is living with ASD might present as without sugar coating it or without creating a novelty out of him too much" He adds that Jeffrey Wright was the closest to a therapist we saw in the film besides Grandpa he was the most emotionally available and empathetic and connected person.
On the 20th anniversary of 9/11 we discuss the tragically beautiful Academy Award nominated film Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. In this episode we discuss the unique journey of Oskar Schell as he processes the life changing event of losing the person who understood him best in the world while simultaneously living through the collective trauma of the September 11th attacks. We are joined by special guests Dr. David Paltin who is an expert in Neuro-Atypical Presentations and Andrew Rubin who is the president of Symptom Media.
