Close Reading of Film Stills in Temple Grandin

I will be analyzing the film stills provided in class for the film Temple Grandin. The first film still provided show Temple in her squeeze machine, which is used to treat autistics. In this still, Temple is looking at her roommate while pulling a rope. Temple looks shocked, that her roommate walked in while she is in the machine. From the roommates perspective, she is looking at Temple, because it is a strange and weird way to treat autistics. I could use this film still in my paper to show that this is one way that Temple used to clam down.

The third still that was provided for Temple Grandin, shows Temple facing the audience at the meeting. There is a lot of facial expressions in the audience. They were shocked and surprised that Temple was lecturing about autism, because she is an autistic woman herself. The audience is also very focused on Temple because they are interested to listen to what Temple has to say about autism. The presenter at the stage looks confused and annoyed because Temple interrupted him and basically took over the meeting. There is also a sense of hope in the facial expressions of the audience.
