So,just watched for 2nd or 3rd time "Birdy" and Matthew Modine's character reminds me a lot Jacques Mayol in The Big Bleu.Any thoughts?(maybe familiar characters in other films...stuff like that)
I saw topic named Asperger's Syndrome but not developped, it will be interesting to me what you think,IMDBers. :)

yeah, I had the same thought as well as I was watching: A guy who has this passion that no-one else really understands, taking him to the edge of his sanity... I think there are a few similarities, but both films have a unique take on it, and are great, in my opinion.
