Talk (part 2 of 2)

The award-winning 'Talk' portrays a society in which non-disabled people are a pitied minority and disabled people lead full and active lives. Jonathan Kerrigan, of BBC's 'Casualty' fame, plays a business executive whose negative preconceptions of disability are dramatically shattered.

Brilliant! The acting is dead-on with the patronizing glances and exaggerating sighs of repugnance. It would be funnier if it weren't 100% true!

[joseyT123]

this is amazing! and it is true that people seem to judge you. You can really notice it when you have a disability for a short while, such as when you are on crutches, everyone stares at you, like u r some kind of freak and this really catches peoples reactions!

I watched this video as part of my Driver CPC training earlier on today.

Very well written, acted, and shot. Certainly makes me see things differently now... Didn't realise how patronising people can seem.

Wow. I didn't know people said things like that about visibly disabled people. That's a strange sounding term but I don't quite know what to call it. I have an invisible disability and so I don't get treated in such a patronising way. I didn't realise people made comments like that about visibly disabled people.

You should be aging AND disabled. Drivers and bikers shriek at me to get out of their way as I am slowly hobbling across the street ON MY LIGHT! I take this with good humor or effin' DIE! One biker tried to run over me when I told him I could not step sideways to get out of his way. It brings out the purely vicious in people. This is San Francisco, bastion of liberality. I have a very loud voice and an attitude to match. I fight back. So far, I'm alive.

What if you just accepted the fact that any system or organism removes the defectives, by social pressure, or norming and forming. You'd think after 5 decades you'd understand that.

its the people in power who can really make the difference that need convincing. i have fought my whole life and at 50 im running out of energy which worrys me even more. you have to fight or lay down and die !

I know a few people on this film who starred in it! The lift operator at the office, the maitre d , and the guy with spiky hair in the club! LOL! Knowing them or speaking to them is great!

I love this film and I hope it makes people think before they stare and also make them realise all disabilities are not visible. Brilliant :)

[onlineADHDmonkey]
