The director of the film desired to shed light on retardation, a subject often ignored or avoided in society of his time. The film, through Dr, Clark’s philosophy, argued that if an autistic child were ever to have a chance to learn self-reliance, pity and pampering cannot be tolerated. Though Dr. Clark’s methods were strict and somewhat controversial, he strongly desired to provide the opportunity for his students to be able to live fully. “The brain isn’t the whole of a being, Mr. Widdecombe.”
