Most under rated movie ever.

I am sorry to hear that you think it would be a bad idea. It could have helped with bringing Asperger's Syndrome to front and center stage in the public awareness arena if it had been widely released, so would the companion television series in my view. To each their own, I suppose.

I wrote some poignant review comments under the ten parts of the movie that are on YouTube right now, with Spanish subtitles at the bottom of the screen! One thing I had written was that YouTube users who have Asperger's Syndrome like myself (and those with my condition that aren't YouTube members) should campaign for getting this movie re-released, this time around where it plays all over the United States, and not just limited screenings where it had been filmed; Spokane, Washington as well as limited screenings in Cour D'Alene, Idaho. It should also get released in all other countries all over the world, including those where it had been released before. Below are my review comments from those ten parts posted:

This is a very touching movie, save for the Spanish subtitles getting in the way at the bottom of the screen. YouTube members next to myself that have Asperger's Syndrome should campaign to get this movie re-released all over the United States, not just screenings in Spokane, Washington where it was filmed, as well as in all other countries where it has been released before. I have to disagree with Josh Hartnett that this movie didn't turn out to his satisfaction. It certainly is to mine. (Comments for Part 1)

"Changed Me" is truly a five-star, Class AA song track in this part of the movie! I can't help singing along to it! Even the vocalist for this; Kane McGee, agreed the song should have been widely released. This is the only track from the band project The D.L. that he did singing on. It is indeed a heartwarming piece! I'll be glad to share the lyrics with anyone who asks for them. (Comments for Part 3)

I will admit for some reason I felt sad for Donald Morton after Isabelle Sorenson left on the bus, telling him to call her, and he never gets to find out when to call her. He probably wished he could have accompanied her on that bus ride. I know that is how I would have felt. Along with the song "Changed Me," Deborah Lurie's music score is top-flight! This is a lovely scene in my eyes where Donald Morton and Isabelle Sorenson make love. (Comments for Part 4)

As I stated in the comments for Part 4, this is a lovely scene where Isabelle Sorenson and Donald Morton make love. It's a dream I am sure that male Aspergians have who have relationships going. Perhaps a few female Aspergians as well. (Comments for Part 5)

It seemed like it was all over for Donald Morton after he had went bananas over Isabelle Sorenson cleaning his apartment! I was relieved when she accepted his apology for how he acted when he visited her at work the next day. This is a rare trait, especially in relationships; being forgiving of another person's mistakes as well as their behavior. If all married couples could be like this, maybe the divorce rate wouldn't be so alarmingly high.(Comments for Part 6)

When Donald Morton left for work, even though Isabelle Sorenson was kind to him, in the back of her mind she still must have been miffed at him for putting her lizard in her bed, giving her a scare! Not something I would do to my own wife, Asperger's Syndrome or not! It made me sad when they argued over his disruption of the conversation with his boss about her plans for the house. He could have said "Excuse me" when he was raising his hand, and not slam his hand on the dinner table! I've had the experience of being bugged by a past girlfriend who had my diagnosis over getting work, when I had been trying to find some and got absolutely nowhere in locating any! The slamming of the door by Isabelle Sorenson had to have devastated Donald Morton! How I wish couples could be forgiving to each other if more than one mistake has been made in their relationships! The version heard in the background of "Loosen Your Hold" by the band South is one I have been seeking for my music collection. I have the song, but it's not the same version as heard here.

Believe me, I would be just as devastated if I had been dumped like Donald Morton had been, and I wouldn't have gotten any additional chances to make up for my behavior and whatever I did! There was the third crushing blow delivered to him at the fancy restaurant. It's depressing that Isabelle Sorenson would choose to go the route of suicide by way of overdosing on her medicines! Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I ought to know, I tried committing that, no way to go! This is a supplemental comment to the last one, the way I had tried to do it wasn't with drugs. (Comments for Part 8)

I felt sorry for Donald Morton, fighting off his urge to call Isabelle Sorenson. Bless his heart, he went to a lot of trouble to figure out her unlisted telephone number! Her psychiatrist telling him not to call her, I didn't buy that for a second! She and Donald made up in the end after all, which I am very glad they did. The scene of them kissing and embracing in their "hiding place" is a very beautiful, very moving one. It's heartwarming that they were always forgiving. The sight of Isabelle Sorenson crying almost made me want to cry too! (Comments for Part 9)

An uplifting ending to a terrific movie about my condition; Asperger's Syndrome! Shame that this couldn't have been spun off into a television series, with Josh Hartnett and Radha Mitchell reprising their roles of Donald Morton and Isabelle Sorenson, as well as the rest of the cast, especially those in the autism group, reprising their roles as well. A television series spun off of this of the same name; "Mozart And The Whale," I think would have been a great help in bringing my condition of Asperger's Syndrome to the front and center stage in the public awareness arena, picking up where the movie left off. No way would I call this a Hollywoodized ending! Would any of us have wanted this to end on a sad note? I don't think so. (Comments for Part 10)
