《<自闭历程> 观后感》
—— “人世间很多事我无法理解,但依然希望人生能有意义。”
主人公Temple 四岁时被诊断为自闭症,但是在母亲的陪伴与教育以及自己的努力下,
不仅开口说了话,而且进入了学校,获得了博士学位,攻读了自己喜欢的专业——畜牧学,
书写了北美的畜牧业史上崭新的一页,让人生更有意义,使生 命更有价值。
自闭症性情古怪,行为异常,很难融入正常的社会生活,可temple 的例子让我重新看
到了对于自闭症康复的希望。
我感到temple 的重大转折是大学前的那个暑假。在婶婶的牧场里看到了美国东海岸没
有的风景——成群的牛。是牛给了temple 启发,最后temple 又使用自己的知识服务于牛,
回馈于牛。Temple 是个自闭症,对于他人的拥抱有很强烈的恐惧感,就连母亲也不例外,
但是用于让牛在注射疫苗时变温顺的机器给了temple 启发。Temple 的挤压机让她感觉舒
服,放松。是挤压机让他感受到了被母亲拥抱的温柔触感,是挤压机让他找到了答案。就像
影片中说的那样:之前断开的线被重新连了起来,好像破碎的物件被补修完整。是挤压机让
temple 在情绪烦躁不安时能够冷静下来,temple 通过挤压机了解到别人对他的爱和善意,
让自己可以更好地融入这个万千变化的社会。
“大自然是无情的,但人可以有情。”temple 顺利地融入了社会,但同时也看到了人类
残忍的一面。自然的法则是弱肉强食,适者生存,动物的命运被人类主宰,尤其是对于驯养
的动物来说。虽然这不可改变,但我们可以给它们最起码的尊重——对牛群采取更人道的措
施。从这个过程中,在temple 的身上我看到了人性的美好,也看到了他与命运抗争的坚强
意志。
生命历程中的困难,挫折并不可怕,可怕的是我们没有那份战胜它的勇气。影片中卡
洛克博士说的好,把它们想成一扇门,打开之后,崭新的世界就在你面前,而你需要做的就
是穿过它。当temple 穿过一个又一个门时,我感受到了他坚定的步伐,我也将跟随这步伐,
昂首前行。
第二篇:Temple Grandin(自闭历程观后感)
Temple Grandin (Drift 2, Week 13)
At the beginning of the film, Temple Grandin enters into the room and makes a self-introduction. Her voice sounds a little bit bold compared with other normal girls. I feel there was something special in her but I don’t know what it is. However, as the film develops I know exactly what this kind of specialness is. Temple has something very innocent in her nature. When she speak, she uses a straight way to express her feelings and opinions. Unlike most of us, her way of speaking has not been restricted. She doesn’t think too much about how other will people judge her, thus, she dares to speak out what she wants to say. To some extent, she represents the very nature of human beings. When we were very young, young enough that we have not been socialized, we behaved similarly with Temple in some way. But Temple remains this kind of innocence and that is very precious because most of us have lost it.
Perhaps it is because I myself have once experienced some mental problems that when I see her struggles and sufferings, I can understand her well (I don’t use the word totally because we are in the different situation). For those people who have never experienced mental struggles they can nerve imagine how pain it is. If you finally tell them about your problems, they think it is not a big deal and they like giving suggestions as if they were the psychiatrist. However, Temple and I are all fortunate, because we finally no longer regard our mental problems as a kind of disaster and we stop doubting and fearing; even if we still carry the effects it brings to us. Temple has a great teacher, Dr. Carlock, to lead her into the beautiful world behind the door, while I have a lot of kind people around me who understand and support me in my hard time. But I still believe the ones who changed our life were actually ourselves. Because we have the spirit of perseverance and a desire to live better, we will conquer the strongest enemy-fear, anxiety.
Another thing I want to mention here is Temple’s talent. She thinks in pictures and connects them later. This extraordinary talent helps her to be successful in her work. Maybe it is just her mental problems that make her think in a different way. She is totally absorbed in her work and she always come up with ideas that are different from others’. So sometime we don’t need to feel pity for our shortcomings, because when God shut up a door, he will open another for you. But if you cry at the door closed, you will never find the door that was left open for you.
From Temple I can feel lots of strength, one may not be able to choose their background, but he can choose to live this short and hard life meaningfully. Otherwise, if you don’t make efforts, you are doomed to be defeated by it. So treasure your life and be the master of your own fate, no one is going to save you from the darkness, except yourself.
