Adam.






Love is baffling, unpredictable and bewildering. 

Adam is a man who has Asperger's Syndrome. Asperger's syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder which makes him stereotyped and restricted to his patterns of behaviour. That is until he meets his new neighbour Beth who changed his entire life. She shows him how to be normal by helping him out of his comfort zone and do things he wouldn't normally do. She helps him grow up and see things in a new perspective. They are two different individuals living in two separate realities. She teaches him how to love and the connection they shared from that love allowed them to live in the same world. They accepted each other through all the problems and difficulties, she accepted him for what he was. She knew that he was 'special' yet she treated him normally. 

The movie starts off with his dad passing away, leaving a mid twenties man to lead his own life. Adam led his life like he always would when his father was still alive. Doing chores, going to work, then heading home. Until one day he was fired and Beth came along. They spent time with each other and he showed her his passion for the galaxies in space. His condition didn't allow him to read facial expressions at all, so Beth had to be patient and understanding. Her parents disapproved of the relationship saying that she deserves better, but she stood strong and paid no attention to their words. 

After many obstacles she thought about her relationship with Adam and words 'I Love You'. 

I don't want to be the person to ruin the movie for you, so I would suggest you watch it for yourself. :) 

INFO - This unforgettable movie was directed by Max Mayer in 2009 in New York. The characters Adam and Beth are played by Hugh Dancy and Rose Byrne. 

Honestly, I truly hope you'll enjoy  this movie as much as I did. 

That's another ramble from yours truly ;) x
