    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Due to its positive portrayal of Asperger Syndrome and other autism spectrum conditions, this movie has been frequently screened at autistic conferences and support group meetings for those on the spectrum.
    • Goofs
      In the first group scene, Donald talks about numbers as he stares at the microwave oven countdown. When the camera cuts away from the digital readout, the one/second beep of the microwave can still be heard but when the camera returns to the readout, fewer seconds elapse than beeps heard.
    • Quotes

      Donald Morton: Turns out you can't control people.

      Donald Morton: Or even predict them.

      Donald Morton: Numbers are different.

      Donald Morton: As I used to say, you can count on them.

    Very good job on capturing spirit of inspiring real aspies....
    My opinion is obviously prejudiced as I am "the whale" in the title of this movie. My wife is "Mozart." I appreciate the time the cast and other principals spent with real aspergers and autism adults. It paid off. Both Josh Hartnett and Radha Mitchell did a terrific job of capturing the spirit of myself and my wife when we met.

    Rahda looks much more like Mary did when we met. I was never as tall as Josh but was much slimmer at his age. There are all kinds of whales and while Josh is a nice, sleek Blue Whale by comparison, I have become an Orca in my middle age.

    I have high hopes that an eventual theater release will enable this film to do a great service to my community and to anyone who feels different and wants a soulmate!

    In order to not unduly influence the tally, I gave it a seven which is the current average rating although I think it merits a higher number.
