Сумасшедший, пляшущий на публике, смешной, если только он не член вашей семьи.
(африканская мудрость)
A mad man dancing in public is only funny when he is not your family member.
(an African proverb)
Я посмотрел это в 11 вечера и мне стало страшно.
I’m watching this at 11 at night and it scares me for some reason.
Он напоминает мне Шелдона. Не удивлюсь, если его образ основан на этом парне.
He reminds me of Sheldon. I wonder if that character was based on him.
Я уверен, он слышит и видит людей в этой комнате.
I'm sure he hears and sees people in the room.
This interview was from 1961. User TheSoothsayer 42 left a comment saying :
"This man was my uncle. I'm not going to give any names, but for those of you
who are concerned with how things turned out for him, not well. There's so much
to address here. First let me say that he was being treated in this video with meds.
Without the medication his mood ranged from complete delusion to catatonic.
As for being gay, I don't think he had much of a sex drive at all. With or without meds.
As for the idea that he was put here because he was gay by some unloving family,
that's ridiculous. I don't have time to say all the things my family tried just to
make his existence somewhat peaceful just for his own sake. My family had a couple
of openly homosexual and lesbians in it even back in the sixties and with the
exception of my mother's father no one gave a shit. My uncle suffered with meds
and even more without. After forty some odd years, most of which he spent in
institutions, he took his own life by way of drug overdose. By the way, the
comment about the plot twist, he never had a piano was funny because he didn't.
His seeming obsession with piano came and went as did obsessions with religion,
especially the Catholic Church and government. As far as I know he couldn't play
a lick. He was very ill at his best and a living shell at his worst. I hope that
answers some questions because that's all I have to say on the matter. He's been
gone since the late eighties and I really hope that other members of my family
don't see this video, mostly because of the comments from people that somehow
think they understand him better than the people who suffered with him. One last thing,
I think people thought that he was talking about sitting or standing effeminately or
something. No, he was talking about sitting or standing motionless for hours.
Usually not even his facial expression would change but when it did it was usually
related to something in his mind only. I really can't begin to tell you all how
heartbreaking the whole thing was. He did seem intelligent and with meds he did
remind me of a high functioning guy with autism I once met."
