I work in this field with developmentally disabled adults and I love when movies like this come out. It really helps others understand these adults and hopefully gain more patients when encountering them out in public situations and in work places.
Maybe I should write a script about my life. I am a middle child with autism that had to raise my younger brother and sister while also taking care of my mom that was struggling with mental health issues and addiction. Ended up in foster care on and off through my life and spent my adult years with partners that relied on me to care for them too in one or several ways. Now at 36 I moved to a new state to care for my mom once again in her senior years. Being single and with no kids it feels like this is who I am, a person whose life was meant to care for others despite my own issue with being high functioning with anxiety.
You should do it. But it’s important to note that while you can choose to make that your purpose- you’re doing it because you had a traumatic childhood that put you in the position to have to take care of others. Now as an adult, you relive that pattern in your relationships. The parent one you can’t help but the partner one you can with recognition and counseling. Your partners are adults and barring medical circumstances, they shouldn’t NEED another adult to care for them. YOU are important too. YOU deserve to take care of you and be a priority and have partners that can be the adult you also are. Food for thought. But so you know- I would definitely read a book about your childhood.
@@RowanMarshmallow thank you, I appreciate your words. I have over the last several years made those connections between my relationships and my childhood. I have been single for a few years now to focus on myself and my own needs as you mentioned. I have come to realize though that the caretaker/guardian role has been so ingrained in me that I gravitate to and attract those that would need it so it's been hard to find a healthy interdependent relationship.
Okay, compliments for the movie and its approach to handling complex sociological situations obviously. But also a shout out to whomever worked on the trailer. It doesn't give away the whole plot and it doesn't talk down to the audience and just.... The person who cut this trailer together needs a moment of recognition, they did well.
I was gonna say "wow, Mcenna Grace grew up so fast!" But then I saw the cast list...it's Kiernan Shipka from Adventures of Sabrina - I get them mixed up all the time
Thank you for a movie that normalises that people with intellectual disabilities are sexual like all humans, that like others they get horny, fall in love, want to get married, and can and do have children. All families are complex and tough but being a child with disabled parents is a particularly tough love-hate relationship.
@@reinebautistamercado4286 Wow, so you're into eugenics? You know scientifically you are wrong and that's a very hateful way to view the world. People are people. Just because you don't think they are doesn't mean they shouldn't exist.
Am I the only one who got allready moved ( tears) from this trailer ..? I know for certain that I have a box of tissues next to me when I watch this movie.😅
@@mariamariafujoshiinurarea2524 Oh wow! I am happy that you don't regret it. That must have been very hard. I don't know if I could ever be that strong....😔
looks like a comfort movie. i'll notice right away what a good cast there is. i'm impressed. i hope the film will be interesting and will be able to gain more popularity! i'm waiting for it!
@@charaznable8072 It does really remind me a lot of Coda. Very similar story, although this is more about her putting the responsibility on herself than her family doing it.
This looks brilliant, and sad, and poignant, and hopefully insightful. It already made me cry watching the trailer. I am autistic and have ADHD and whilst not disabled, sometimes I feel like a child or am child-like in some of my emotional reactions. I have a 6 year old son. I hope he gets to always be a kid round me as he continues to grow up. It's great that they've made a film about this. I can't wait to see the whole thing.
She also needs to be in either a 60s or 70s themed movie as well, where she's a dancer of that time, and judging by the dance videos she did behind the scenes on the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, she can pull it off.
Wow, that would be a tough situation. I really like Kiernan Shipka and was impressed with her acting even when she was on Mad Men. I still remember the scene where she's distraught about her grandpa dying...wonder how old she was there. I remember also seeing her way back on an episode of Monk as an outspoken/demanding six or seven year old.
In a lot of ways the premise of this film reminds me of CODA in that both have a female protagonist who has to make sacrifices to take care of her disabled parents.
I see what you’re saying. And surely I hope the model changes. But! A good but. Speaking from my personal experience having a marriage and children with disabilities, the perspectives in this movie are different. It happens in unrepresented movies as well (the storyline repetitions). This is only the beginning for actual authentic storytelling of realistic life in a fun dramatic romantic way.
I was about 10/11 when my dad taught me to drive in A.P. that's Agua Prieta. Driving on the dirt roads with a shotgun. Her name was Julieta. My chest never recovered. Learned to shoot a shotgun at 12.
@@saraosorio553 Absolutely! It's INSANE all of the things she TOOK CARE OF and was RESPONSIBLE for! ALL THE WHILE keeping her grades UP HIGH, not just in regular classes but AP CLASSES! WHILE playing sports, WHILE working a FULL TIME JOB! Most people couldn't handle all that! 😬 I hope she gets EVERYTHING she EVER wanted! She deserves the world! 💙
