White Frog (2012)

"White Frog" really surprised me as I watched it. Why? Well, because the movie had a fairly nice story, but what really impressed me was the acting in the movie.The story is about a young boy named Nick, who has Asperger's syndrome, whose older brother dies in a tragic accident. Not fitting into the world around him, Nick struggles to get closer to the world that his older brother lived in.There are some really nice moments to the movie, which were nicely portrayed and executed on the screen. But the great performances from the actors and actresses really helped bring this movie to life.I can't really claim to be familiar with the acting talent of Booboo Stewart, but he really carried this movie so nicely. But it wasn't him alone, everyone in the movie were doing great jobs. And it was also particularly nice to see Joan Chen in a movie such as this.If you enjoy drama movies that are carried by a proper and solid story, then you definitely should check out "White Frog". And this movie easily earns a 7 out of 10 stars rating from me, no doubt about it.

I saw this,not expecting much more than a simple star turn for some young "stars" and some older performers needing some money. First up,it doesn't have major star power (okay, but not A-list). The story isn't 'perfect'. Those two points should send you off to other pastures if that is all that matters to you. I just finished watching it a couple of minutes ago. D---! I wasn't expecting to to be moved so much by what I expected to be a "bunch of fluff". My apologizes to the crew and cast. This was much better than I thought it would be. No. I don't think it will make it as an Oscar film. So what! It just won my heart. Give it a try. Side point, I hope BooBoo gets more chances. He did pretty good with this one.

There are not many movies, which can tell a story with little to no major effects. It is about being human and being alive and acceptance. Something which I feel is almost lost in our world today.Allowing oneself and others to be different. I feel, this movie shows exactly where our society is heading - hiding behind a veil of lies. Pretending to be perfect, where perfection never can be met anyway.Important for me mostly is, that it shows, that Aspergers or any form of being different, is mostly a label by society and then those affected, are pushed to live in a certain way - an invisible prison.What a great piece of art. And this is how I see my world today

Undoubted this is the best gay movie I've ever seen in my life and believe me I've watched quite a few of them over the last 52 Years.What's making this movie special is not only the acting of the young man playing the role of a disabled younger brother; all other actors as well are doing a wonderful job in portraying their characters.No matter what race, religion or believe it meets everyone's difficulty in showing who and what you really are. We're just human and that's all there is to it, not more and not less.We're all week inside of us, but at the same time we can all be strong if we strive for it and finally find the courage to be it.Allow me to make a final remark. I've never written a review, but decided to do it due to the fact that I was so impressed!
