Molly

Hello Everyone!

I hope you haven't got bored with the topic of autism and similar disorders. I use the holiday season for films on this subject and I already have two books planned that I would like to read. 

Today I am going to tell you about the first movie about autism that I watched - "Molly". Surprisingly, watching a movie very often, we do not notice how in many movies the subject of people belonging to the spectrum appears, of course the standard example is "Forrest Gump" or the character of Sheldon from one of the most famous series "The Big Bang Theory". 



But to the point, back to Molly. Be warned there are spoilers. It is a very engaging and warm movie, I would call it. The title Molly is a 28-year-old autistic girl who wants to enjoy life in handfuls. However, at the very beginning we meet her brother - Buck, he is a socially active and successful young man who one day receives a call from the center where Molly is located. Doctors inform him that the facility will close soon, so he must pick up Molly and start looking after her himself. As you can guess, it completely changes Buck's life. The man initially hopes that his sister will be able to take care of herself and that he will be able to continue his normal life, but it soon turns out that it's not that easy. Example: Buck, having no one to leave Molly with, takes her to work, when the woman gets hot, she just strips naked and walks into the room where Buck is presenting. It soon turns out that Molly is qualified for an experimental operation to make the woman no longer have autism. Buck looks at this operation with great hope, hopes that it will make his sister independent, and that he will be able to return to his normal life. His wish comes true, the operation is successful, and Molly quickly learns new things and overcomes previous barriers. Her transformation is delightful, and Buck cannot believe what a wonderful and intelligent woman she is. Her way of looking at the world, her admiration for the world makes others look at their everyday life with delight. Molly is extravagant, but what captivates me most is her authenticity, she talks about things that people often want to keep silent with courage and simplicity, as if she is the one who can best understand the world around her.



However, the movie doesn't end at this point, and suddenly it turns out that the cure for autism was only temporary, and Molly slowly begins to close in on herself and lose what she has learned. This is met with complete disagreement on the part of Buck, who tries at all costs to make her remain as she is now. However, at the end of the movie, Molly becomes like at the beginning, but her brother stays with her forever. I have been wondering for a long time why in the film a woman stops suffering from autism thanks to surgery, because there is no cure for this disorder. I think this is how the film aims to show us what autistic people really are, they may seem strange to us, but they are wonderful people who, like us, want to be happy and loved.

The number 12 has many meanings, it can symbolize 12 apostles, 12 months of the year or 12 generations of Israel.    I will exchange 12 dishes for you, of course we can meet others in every home, as well as in other parts of Poland.

Where and how to look for flights

Obraz
In today’s post we start to organize our journey. When the crazy idea of vacation comes into our minds, we need to think about where, how and when we want to go out into the world. That’s why today I will tell you how to search for flights on the Internet. My favorite and in my opinion the best flight search engine is Skyscanner. Here is the link for the page: https://www.skyscanner.pl . This search engine is very clear and easy to use. I sincerely recommend it. Its three biggest pros are: You can get a preview of whole month which allows you to compare flight prices on different days. You can also choose the cheapest month. You can choose a whole country as your start or destination.             After you click search, you get a list of cities sorted by price: As a destination you can choose 'Everywhere' (it’s my favorite function).             After we click search, we get a list of countries sorted by price: Besides Skyscanner there are many other flight sea

Majorca part 3

Obraz
Hello Everyone!   Today I'm going to finish telling you about Majorca.   The next day of our trip we had to get up early because we went to visit the caves:  the Caves of Drach . It cost us 13 euros per person, but it is worth spending t he  money. After walking 2km along the path for tourists located in the cave, you finally reach the underground lake. When the whole group gathers, the lights go out and a classical music concert begins on  the boats floating on  the lake.  It  only lasts 15 minutes, but it makes a great impression.  At the end of the day we went to one of the recommended beaches.   On Sunday (another day of vacation) we went to the beach which I liked the most from the whole trip. The beach is next to the town of  Alcudia , I've never seen such white sand and blue water in my life. Then we took the road full of bends to Cap de  Formentor , a beautiful viewpoint. And we ended the day in the town of Sol l er which is famous for growing ora
