Both mediums externalized the boy's thoughts in voice over. Oscar winning editor Claire Simpson (Platoon), who had previously worked with director Stephen Daldry on The Reader, admits that the filmmakers "continued this device in the film." What makes that decision even more interesting is the fact that the character has Asperger syndrome, a form of high functioning autism that makes those with the condition experience the world in different ways than most people.]]> http://www.btlnews.com/awards/contender-%e2%80%93-editor-claire-simpson-extremely-loud-and-incredibly-close/feed/ 0 http://www.btlnews.com/awards/recognizing-exceptional-editing/ http://www.btlnews.com/awards/recognizing-exceptional-editing/#comments Tue, 10 Jan 2012 16:52:04 +0000 Mary Ann Skweres http://www.btlnews.com/?p=23603 http://www.btlnews.com/awards/recognizing-exceptional-editing/feed/ 0 http://www.btlnews.com/awards/rupert-wyatts-rise-of-the-planet-of-the-apes/ http://www.btlnews.com/awards/rupert-wyatts-rise-of-the-planet-of-the-apes/#comments Thu, 05 Jan 2012 16:59:18 +0000 Mary Ann Skweres http://www.btlnews.com/?p=23534 Rise of the Planet of the Apes tells an origin story that lays the foundation for the mythology of the first Planet of the Apes film, which takes place 3,000 years in the future.
