Personal Change

Christopher and Finbar are two very unique people. These two people are almost complete opposites. Although are polar opposites they do have one thing in common and that is their quest to find acceptance in a world that is quick to judge them. The difference is that Christopher does not know (for the most part) that he is viewed as different or strange due to the fact that he has autism . In Finbar's case he feels every where he goes he is being judged. At the beginning of the film Finbar was reluctant to have form any relationship with Joe and Olivia. In fact it seemed that Finbar pushed them away because he was so used to being by himself and not having others accept him. Finbar as person came a long from the beginning of the film as his new friends finally gained his trust.

Finbar was afraid to accept people in his life but when he let his guard down he finally was able to develop new friendships. At the beginning of the film he was would not give Joe the time of day. Joe basically forced the friendship between Finbar and himself. Joe would constantly knock on Finbar's door asking if they could have a beer together. Olivia displayed nice gestures as well to gain Finbar's trust and friendship. Olivia had Joe and Finbar come to her house to hang out. He seemed to enjoy Joe's company a little more than he did previously in the film. As the film progressed Finbar even allowed Joe and Olivia to go train watching after denying them the opportunity numerous times before. Finbar went from shy and grumpy at the start of the film to gain friendships that he would have for a long time to come.
