Suicide?
The film is rather good, but does not make any mention of the Asperger disease
Gould had.
This is because the producers had to get permission from the Gould Estate so
they could obtain material for the film.
Interesting enough, Gould had a ´premonition´that he would die at age 50.
Alone, with little to add to his discography, and very depressed it is
possible that he did NOT have a ´stroke´but commited suicide.
Of course, friends and executives were able to erase all traces of this,
like Callas, because of the money involved: lots of recordings, films, etc.
Aspergers disease is a tragedy, and many older psychiatrists do not much
about it.
Nothing to be ashamed of, let´s remember Berlioz was an epileptic,
Sarah Kane suffered from manic-depression, and a few other great names
have had some disorders of some sort.
Terrible thing to end alone and with few friends that could understand him.
Great, great artist. May he rest in peace.
