How do you feel about portrayals of stuttering in movies? The thing that makes me stutter more than anything else, is being constantly reminded that I am a stutterer. So I automatically feel uncomfortable when I hear anyone mention stuttering (whether or not is has to do with me). However, I have been wondering what others think about actors stuttering in movies. Are there good portrayals that give you confidence? I personally really like the character Bill in the “It” movie (2017). I also bawled my eyes out during The Kings Speech. And then there is Waterboy (Adam Sandler). I always pretended I liked that movie because it was popular with my friends, but that one makes me really uncomfortable (mainly because he is clearly making fun of stuttering). Any thoughts? Are there other movies that you think have portrayed stuttering in a true light?
