Line 2: [[File:Ben_X_4813.jpg\|frame]] A'''''Ben X''''' is a Belgian film from 2007 about an teenager with [[Asperger's Syndrome~~\|Aspergers syndrome~~]] who has some difficulties dealing with the world and is tormented by his classmates. He seeks solace in an MMORPG, ArchLord, where he has a friend, Scarlite. After a particularly nasty bit of bullying, Ben considers suicide. While not a darling of Dutch-language critics, the film did please the public, won some international prizes, and was the Belgian entry for the Best Foreign Language Oscar (it did not get a nomination). The film was written and directed by Nic Balthazar, a Belgian presenter. It's based on a book and play, ''Niets was alles wat hij zei'', also written by Nic Balthazar. It was based on the story of a Belgian teenager with ~~Aspergers~~Asperger's. Not to be confused with ''[[Ben 10]]''. ---- {{tropelist}} * [[Adults Are Useless]]: Played with.{{context}} * [[Awesome but Impractical]]: Arguably, the 'death cross' that Ben constructs later on in the movie. Hint: {{spoiler\|It doesn't exactly work}} * [[Based on a True Story]]: The book was based on the story of a Belgian teenager with ASD {{spoiler\|unlike Ben, this lad's suicide attempt succeeded.}} Line 20 ⟶ 23: * {{spoiler\|[[Happily Ever After]]}} * [[Headphones Equal Isolation]]: Ben uses an iPod with loud music to drown out the noises in the street and to keep people from talking to him. * [[It Got Worse]]: Yep. {{context}} * [[Jerkass]]: Bogaert, Desmet...
