Simon with Asperger's, who lives life according to mathematical rules, and Sam, whose heart always overcomes his logic. A movie that explains what true brotherhood is and how it is maintained despite everything, with a heart-warming interpretation.
There are many voices outside, inside is space. One sentence could describe Simon this well. We would use the space simile aptly for both his relentless curiosity about space and the bottomless void he lives in because of Asperger's. In people with Asperger Syndrome, a reaction of being trapped within one or more stereotyped and limited interest patterns is observed, which is unusual in terms of the level of interest or focus on it. This can explain why Simon sees the stove-looking space shuttle as a shelter where he can get away from everything. Simon has a lot of trouble in social communication because of his disease, and he thinks that neither his parents nor other people will ever understand him. except one person. His older brother is Sam. Sam, his brother, friend, captain pilot and always a safe shore. He is the only human so far who managed to return it once it went into space. Movie ; It begins with Sam taking Simon, with his stove, to the house he has just moved into with his girlfriend. From here we can analyze what a self-sacrificing and emotional personality organization Sam has, which allows him to strictly comply with Simon's specific, non-functional, customary daily tasks or ceremonial behavior styles, without any flexibility, and to adapt to this situation as much as possible. is one of the clear examples. Particularly, the fact that she broke up with her lover, whom she was deeply in love with and needed so much, because she was not willing to leave her brother and suffered tremendous love pain, constitutes another strong example of the unrequited bond of brotherhood. Since adapting to the rules created by Simon and organizing his life according to an Asperger's person with stereotypical and repetitive motor mannerisms (constantly turning the light on and off when he comes home, etc.) is not a burden that Sam's girlfriend can bear, they break up and the real movie begins from that moment on. Simon sees how upset his brother is and feels that the order he is used to is being disrupted - which is an Asper. A very important point for the owner - he must find Sam a new girlfriend and someone who will also take over the task of washing the dishes. Sam's search for a girlfriend with the movies, animals and sexual characteristics he likes resembles the work of a surveyor. Especially, the ranking of all the pictures and their features according to their scores is so meticulous that a feverish research can be reported and evaluated. However, our emotional brother does not care about this situation at all. In order to get rid of Simon's insistent attitude, he metaphorically explains that it can't be like this - opposite poles attract each other. But as an Asperger patient takes everything literally, things get even more complicated. And this situation turns out to be the best for Simon, because he unknowingly gets the opportunity to fall in love for the first time in his life. Jennifer, whom he meets every morning at 8.55, and often comes into contact with them by colliding with them - this is an unbearable situation for Simon. For the first time after Sam, someone else accepts the social withdrawal, lack of peer relationships, difficulty in understanding emotions, pedantic speaking style, presence of mental obsessions, rigid routines and repetitive use of objects as normal and understanding. Especially on that day when Jennifer tried to force him to meet Sam, he experienced that most of his obsessions with time, food and touch could be denied, thanks to Jennifer. The following night, this experience-filled day, is revolutionary for Simon's life, even though he has a serious argument with Sam, causing Sam's depression to deepen and leaving the house. Our character with Asperger's, who wants to forgive himself and have his brother again, begins to prepare a tremendous surprise for Jennifer and Sam. To do this, he sells his most valuable belongings, buys 90 romantic movie tapes that he hates, and prepares a perfect meal and ambiance. Unfortunately, things don't go the way he wants, and Simon, who is not used to things not going the way he wants, goes through a big attack.
It is Jennifer's "I love you" sentence that brings Simon back, after being thrown into space for hours. When this is an emotional state that has not been formulated before, Simon remains unresponsive even though the hatch of the space shuttle is opened for the first time. Until his true love, Jennifer, until you see it in your eyes and feel it on your finger. Then a little smile. And an Asperger's falling in love by breaking all formulas.
