Of course, this film is very famous, I have heard it for a long time, and I know a little about the content and plot of the film (actually I have seen the clip before), but the real reason to watch this film is to watch Tom Cruise in his youth. (One more nympho, Cruise's expression in this film is no different from that in Night Interview! It's so cute.)
The protagonist is not him, and the bright spot is not on this younger brother. The handsome and the horse are fleeting, only the deep acting skills can touch the heart and stay in my heart. However, looking at the comments, I see that my brother is always labeled as innocent and simple, and my younger brother is always labeled as utilitarian, and I always feel that it is not fair.
Yes, Raymond is not mentally retarded, just autistic. His way of expressing is different from that of ordinary people, but the nurse who takes care of him is very clear about the emotions he wants to express (unfortunately, the nurse just treats him as a patient). His emotions are the same as those of ordinary people. He will be happy, nervous, afraid, and dissatisfied, but who would stop and listen to Rain Man's singing?
It's just that what he cares about is something different from ordinary people, his books, his routine, his TV shows, and the place to buy underwear (XD). Socially incompetent, enclosed in a small world, sometimes raymond looks like a child, even making Charlie so incomprehensible that he yells at him irritably. But this is only different from our secular people. Who is qualified to distinguish whose values are more correct?
If Raymond is regarded as a purely mentally retarded person, we may not discuss too much about his inner thoughts; I believe his inner thoughts exist, maybe not the same as our "maturity"; I don't know (the writer-director doesn't seem to want us to explore his inner thoughts; and such a sensible act doesn't make much sense for an emotional film). Where did Raymond go in the end? When watching this part, the story reaches its climax, and we are all willing to believe that Charlie has won the right to take care of his brother, although he may not be able to provide the best care. But what Raymond thought, we don't know; it seems that it doesn't make much sense to seek explanations from the human nature of kinship. Therefore, it seems more meaningful to study Charlie.
Charlie is a normal human being, which is easy to understand for us; work (and sex) seems to be his whole life. We don't see his affection at the start of the film; he's always so calm, even ruthless, at work, when he's driving on vacation, even when he hears of his father's death. But behind this excessive calmness, he is actually a man of irritability. When his girlfriend is dissatisfied with his silence, he will be close to breaking out; digging into the unhappiness between his childhood and his father (referring to Rain Man), he is also irritable; when the will is read, on the surface, he is calm, but with his The ramble, the resentment for the three million can no longer be hidden. Charlie is a person who likes to keep things in his heart. Maybe only in this way can he be free and easy to outperform others; but this is undoubtedly a manifestation of not being good at expressing and communicating. This is a family inheritance, the father is like this (doesn't know how to express love, which leads to the misunderstanding of the son), the brother is like this (communication disorder), and the younger brother is also like this.
It makes sense for Charlie to find affection in her brother, because they are so similar, and while one is dashing and the other awkward, it's funny to walk together. At first, they were just "brothers in name", and the affection that the younger brother talked about was just an excuse for "kidnapping". In fact, it's a bit too ruthless to say that, and I don't believe that my brother really has no feelings at all. The motives for taking away my brother are complicated. In addition to resentment towards money and resentment towards my father, there is also the shock of the sudden appearance of an older brother. He doesn't know if he has feelings for his brother, because they don't know each other yet; he only has time to get irritated and yell because of his brother's various abnormal behaviors (expressing that he is very cute about the dialogue between the brothers, which The two were clearly born from the same mother's womb, and they even had the same preferences, but the older brother was talking to himself, and the younger brother was yelling). However, it can be seen from the various compromises of the younger brother (including not flying and looking for a TV) that the younger brother does not care about the elder brother. However, when they established a deeper connection, the younger brother realized the real family love here.
Rain Man is certainly a twist. Originally, Charlie thought this RainMan was just an imaginary friend from childhood. And the establishment of the equation Raymond=RainMan is the beginning of connection. With the connection, Charlie will try to understand and think about his brother; from passive care to active communication. So when Raymond was going back to the nursing home, I was really sad - back to the nursing home, and the caregivers who only understood his needs and couldn't communicate with him - and of course Charlie was worried.
In the 7 days that I spent with my brother, Charlie "found" my brother; I don't want to listen to the nonsense of the big money and family PK; Charlie found a connection and understood his brother because of the various similarities with his brother, the kind of no family warmth The rootless state of my life can be changed, and it will make life more meaningful than complaining and being inhuman.
