In the Djinn, there's a scene when the father tells his son, Dylan, that there is nothing wrong with the way he is. On the surface, this seems like very sympathetic advice but when these dialogues are not inserted well into the story, more often than not it comes off as if the character is making light of the other character who is different from them. It is the way they interact with other characters who are supposed to be "normal" and who pointedly give advice about accepting who you are and that it is alright if they have something lacking, it is what defines them, etc. There's something about the way characters with disabilities are portrayed in movies that bothers me. Plot Summary: After Dylan who is a mute, performs a ritual to summon a Djinn to grant him a wish, he must survive the night if he wants his wish to come true.
