i saw the black balloon last night a a charity event for our local disability service . all who attend the movie premier be people who live and breath disability . there be teacher from special school and carers and parent of disabled child . i be a parent of an autistic boy and employ to work with special need child and i find this movie to be funny and heart warming and realistic to memory of my own child . the movie be base on the everyday effect of living with a disabled sibling which i be sure many sibling will relate to ( i know my old girl will ) . the amount of attention give to charlie be felt by thomas and the enormous responsibility of care for a disabled sibling at the age of 16 year be heartbreaking for him . i give this movie a positive because i felt the movie portray exactly how life be for a family with a disabled child . luke ford be excellent with portray charlie and rhys wakefield exceptional representation of have to live with a disabled sibling will hopeful make the public think about the family life of a disabled child or adult before they stop and stare and whisper . offer help and do not fear them for they be angel in disguise .
