El Milagro De Tyson

I liked it. It's the kind of movie to watch when you want to be reminded of the good in the world. Yes it's a bit simplistic, yes it's not a multi million budget or A+ actors, but it's sweet and it makes you feel good and what's wrong with that???

I laugh at the reviewers saying the kid didn't portray autism well. First off Autism is a spectrum and people at one end of the sprectrum are nothing like those at the other end, and then you have all those inbetween. Secondly, the kid who plays Tyson is actually on the spectrum so he probably knows a bit better than you.

So yeah, if you're looking for a movie thats gonna blow you away and have you talking about it for weeks, this probably ain't it. But if you just want to pass some time, cheer for a hero and feel good when you turn off the tv give it a shot.

An inspiring movie to have determination & faith to reach your goal. However, the script is poorly done, the directing is amateur & the acting is so awkward.

It seems like a low budget movie with so-so actors.

This movie had me crying honestly. I don't get why so many people are hating on it. As an autistic person myself I related to a lot of things the main character had experienced in the movie. The race makes me think of a metaphor that goes along the lines of "do things and your pace" or "don't rush yourself to catch up with everyone else." I love how they have accurate Autism Representation in this movie. I have a boyfriend that acts almost exactly like the main character and he is autistic himself. The whole movie had me so emotional and so invested. I can't understand why others are calling the acting bad. The acting almost felt entirely real. I would definitely recommend watching especially if you struggle with autism yourself.

Not sure why there's some haters out there.. this is a lovey film. It pushes all the right character / story buttons. The acting is good, it's nice to see the familiar faces and some new ones.

PROS

+ Excellent actors (except Eleanor who was made to overact in this movie).

+ Good example of a coach who does not put career over family, but takes a break when he is most needed.

+ Adequate display of some of the problems at (American) schools.

+ Wonderful display against racism, against discrimination based on news articles and for the acceptance of ASD.

CONS

• Some unrealistic scenarios. We e.g. Do not know how Tyson ended up in a lake or why he had his knee bleeding before and during the race.

• Eleanor does not find healing in this movie from her outbursts of anger.

• 2 half-naked scenes.

• The scene in the epilogue is meant to be funny, but it displays vengeance, and reveals one problem of the movie, the lacking reconciliation between both parties.
