This movie is all about the mind of a child. In fact, the movie is told so well that I had a hard time figuring out whether the child was disabled or not. If you wait through the detailed character development in the first part of the movie, the climax is well worth it. (I also appreciated it didn't completely validate the child's rebellion.)

This exceptional movie is about a child with Asperger's syndrome (one of the ASD or Autism spectrum disorders). He shows some of the classical features of the Dz such as difficulty with communication skills, and being obsessed about a particular object - in this case the key here found  after 9/11. In every other way he is highly exceptional.   His intellect is most likely comparable to the majority of Asperger's ppl and is in genius range. He is having a hard time dealing with the terror attacks.

This movie was beautiful. The kid in the movie lost everything that made his life stable. When the sands shifted, he reacted the only way he knew how. Those who have never been through such a tragic loss, can't comprehend the emotions this child went through. They dislike those that aren't like them which is sad and pathetic. This movie brings light and hope to even the smallest of things. It doesn't have to be so twisted and intense to be good. It's real, and that makes all the difference.
