The Outsider Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 is this pattern for all of the Khans? :nervous: Not really, even from Aamir Khan movies I really liked Dil Chahta Hai - though I felt his star presence kind of killed the very interesting character of Akshaye Khanna which deserved more screen time and depth.

DONT :giggle: Unfortunately, I did. :wall: I guess it was after Ghajni that I vowed not to watch any more of his movies, so have avoided 3 Idiots and Talaash as far as I could, but I couldn't avoid watching bits and parts of them when visiting friends/relatives.

If you are bored and have nothing to do and i mean if you seriously have nothing to do, you should watch Talaash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a different view of the world, but even the protagonist(Aamir Khan), supposed to be fighting against it, viewed is as sort of a disease to be cured.

From the little that I watched of Talaash it seemed to be a rip off What Lies Beneath. I might be wrong since I watched only the last half hour or so.

Maybe he knows more than you not all dyslexics are savants.... For example, Abhishek Bachchan was dyslexic as a child but he overcame it and is not dyslexic anymore.

The Outsider Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 It isnt a disease/negative mental condition that needs to be cured? You can call it a "negative mental condition" but it's certainly not a disease to be cured. Dyslexic people, and people with more medical knowledge than me should correct me if I am wrong, is a brain condition where people are unable to view the world as the majority of the population does. It does not impact their thinking power, to be called a disease or retardation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Outsider Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 So one can overcome it without needing any cure? "Cure" is for a disease. Dyslexia needs guidance and not cure - to help the person understand the difference between what he sees and what the rest of the world sees. And yes, it's possible to overcome it like Da Vinci did without any "cure", though I am loath to use an example of someone so extraordinary. Think of Dyslexia as a massively exaggerated form of color blindness, where the person has to get used to what he sees and the rest of the world sees is different rather than as an impact on his thinking power.
