邁克康納里斯的《我很奇怪》有助於提高對自閉症兒童的認識

格蕾絲·馬多弗

I am Odd  began as a poem written by a 10 一歲自閉症男孩, Ben Giroux. The poem went viral and inspired producer Mike Connaris to turn it into a song and eventually a video. The poem is about Ben’s life as an autistic boy, feeling out of place and different around other kids his age. 羅里·拉塞爾, 一 20 year old student animator, was commissioned to create an animated 2D music video to complement the song’s message.

The song is upbeat and has a positive, catchy tone to it. The artistic decision was made to produce the video in black and white to represent the sadness the boy was feeling. Once the boy accepts himself and discovers other kids like him, the video transitions to color to illustrate the transformation of the boy’s feelings about himself. The transition to color is a great addition to the already powerful message of the lyrics. This video has a strong message for all kids to treat everyone the same. I really enjoyed this video because it gave me a different perspective on what kids with autism may feel and go through in social settings. I think this film is important for people of all ages to watch in order to understand how autistic kids feel, when treated differently.

我評價這部電影 5 出 5 星星.
