I've been wanting to watch it for a long time, but I didn't see it until yesterday
. The title of the film is puzzling. When I didn't watch it, I thought it had something to do with that Camp. But after reading it, I found the director's ingenuity: Rain Man is just an introduction to connect the past and the present, but Charlie has long forgotten his once close siblings. Rain Man, I love the name...
I'm impressed with both Cruise and Hoffman's characters. Let's talk about Charlie first, Charlie is a typical poor man driven by money interests, using everyone around him at any cost for money. Charlie resonates strongly with my heart, and I seem to see my own shadow running rampant in the film... Constantly using people, constantly being used by others, this seems to be my life, I don't want to follow the crowd in this society, although I haven't even graduated from high school, but how come I've become more and more snobbish? But Charlie is far luckier than I am because he has a close brother by his side.
Many times when people are more and more satisfied with their own space, the distance between people has become farther and farther. The loneliness can suddenly come quickly and it's suffocating... It turns out that the alias of this film is Brotherly Love, which I have never heard of... Hoffman's acting is really amazing, if I remember correctly The film should have won him a best actor. Well, I really haven't watched Hoffman's films.
This Rain Man is very touching. I will watch it a few more times when I have time...

Rain Man quotes

  • Charlie: Listen... Ray, I don't know if I'm gonna have a chance to talk to you again because, you see, these... Dr. Bruner really likes you a lot and he's probably gonna take you back. You know?

    Raymond: Yeah.

    Charlie: What I said about being on the road with you I meant. Connecting. I like having you for my brother.

    Raymond: I'm an excellent driver.

    Charlie: [smiling] Yes, you are. I like having you for my big brother.

    Raymond: Charlie. Charlie. Main man.

  • Charlie: I just realized I'm not pissed off anymore. My father cut me out of his will. You probably knew he tried to contact me over the years. I never called him back. I was a prick. If he was my son and didn't return my calls, I'd have written him out. But it's not about the money anymore. You know, I just don't understand. Why didn't he tell me I had a brother? Why didn't anyone ever tell me that I had a brother? Because it'd have been nice to know him for more than just the past six days.
