I had to read a book called the Chocolate War. English teacher also showed us a movie staring Ilan Mitchell-Smith one of the actors from Weird Science.
[quote="Dreg"]I liked the "Chocolate" movie from the Ong-bak people. Hilarious depictions of autism aside. Or, perhaps, inside.
How bad is the autism depictions? Everytime I see it at blockbuster I think of getting it, but it just seems kind of wrong (i dont know if thats the right word for it) to watch a martial arts movie about a somewhat retarted girl, when just having a female lead in a martial arts movie is kind of awkard for me.

I thought the movie was pretty awesome. Admittedly, I know jack shit about autism, so that aspect of the movie didn't bother me much. But the fights are totally sweet.

I think the makers of this movie saw Daredevil, and they figured all handicapped people everywhere were like that.

I'd only oppose it if that would stop them from going to the kitchen and making me a sandwhich. It is the 21st century afterall
