My Name is Khan

[Davros]

Anyone seen it or going to see it?

FYI Shah Rukh Khan (BIG Bollywood star) plays a Muslim with Asperger's syndrome whose life in the US changes after the 11 September 2001 attacks.

another thread here

I started the other thread as I saw it on Saturday. Thought it was great, cried buckets but in a cleansing sort of way. Touches lots of issues well about Aspergers/autism and given the wide range of the spectrum I thought the male lead was played very accurately. It also showed disability in a positive light, and ok some of the problems might have been glossed over, but I totally loved this film and will be buying it on DVD and seeing it again for inspiration.
Can't wait to take dh at the weekend as saw it with my dad last weekend.

Ooops! Sorry, I did have a quick look to see if there was already a thread but you know how fast MN moves! It sounds quite good although I know DH wouldn't go to see it, maybe some of my "ASD mum" friends although the last thing we went to see together was Hairspray, not quite the same thing despite the racial equality line......
