Movie Review: Temple Grandin - Page 2

I am probably not alone in saying that II had no idea what this woman had accomplished so I got the DVD and received a pleasant surprise. I discovered we had something in common, because I have spent time in a slaughterhouse, while being a total vegetarian. It was a bit unsettling at first to watch whole hogs slaughtered just inches from where you stand on a slippery perch, but I did it for the sake of science, reproductive physiology to be exact. My job: to bring back fresh mountain oysters from Kentucky (testicles) for the research lab. That can make you nervous. This film also takes the audience behind the scenes of the slaughterhouse. Temple enlists for a challenge to change and gate crash the original all-male turf—the beef industry, where women were not welcome.

This biographical study peels aways some of the mystery surrounding autism and the savant hidden in all of us. If you have not seen it yet, then you are missing a time-worthy little saga.
