On Wednesday November 18, 2009 I attended the showing in LBJ of the movie "The Black Balloon".This was an inspirational movie about a family's struggle to raise their autisitc child/sibling. During the time when the pregnant mother of the house was placed on bed rest by the doctor it took a huge strain on the younger brother Thomas. He found it hard to fit in at his new school due to his brother's health problem. This strain resulted in Thomas saying negative things about his brother and beating him up on one incident. In the end Thomas and Charlie's relationship is strengthed.
The story really touched me because it shows how kids can be very cruel and how it can often lead those who are picked on to drastic measures;in this movie Thomas fights his autistic brother. I really enjoyed the movie although some parts were sad and I recommend it to anyone one who is looking for a touching story.
