This movie shows us many beautiful natural scenery. Drive along the old Buick from morning to evening, from the countryside to the city, from the small town to the small town. Looking all the way, the lush trees stand in two neat rows on both sides of the highway, and the passing of cars in the sun gives us a very fresh and bright feeling. The brothers walked through the strong winds with windmills everywhere. The brother's anger made the car go crazy, so the car drove out of the highway and rolled up thick sand and dust floating in the air. This is the "dirty" of the countryside, but compared to the blooming of car exhaust in the tall and beautiful high-rise buildings in the city, this kind of "dirty" appears so pure and clean.
Many shots are shown to us through Raymond’s perspective. Especially when I cross the iron bridge, the photography is very special. It gave us a wonderful feeling. We said goodbye to ourselves, and completely entered into the care of the bridge by Raymond, and the car drove forward at a fast speed. Raymond's eyes also constantly changed position, looking forward immediately from the back, and then suddenly looking up. Raymond gave the photographer full freedom to shoot whatever he wanted. We looked at the scenery that Raymond saw, and felt that his world was full of magic. Especially those moving lenses give us the feeling of being there in person, and we know that this kind of feeling is impossible with my brother.
"Autistic" Raymond is a true poet. I remember at this time that Foucault quoted Dostoevsky in the preface of his "Madness and Civilization": "People cannot confirm themselves by confining their neighbors. They are sane."
Every one of us sees Raymond’s behavior and laughs from time to time, not because of his stupidity and autism, but because of his cuteness and innocence. At the same time, it may also be because we want to be as innocent as him, but reality seems to have many factors that do not allow us to do that. We hide our wish secretly in the laughter when we watch the movie, calmly.
Many of Raymond's things are very special. His language is rich and colorful, and behind the endless chatter, we feel more of his simplicity and cuteness, and we can say whatever we think. Many things seem to us ordinary people, but they are so important to Raymond. For example, fear of flying, fear of the sound of water in the bath, watching the "People's Court" on time, going to bed on time at 11 o'clock in the evening, and so on. Sometimes it is cute to make people laugh, such as not knowing about men and women. But there was one thing that made my younger brother a big deal, and that was to use Raymond's amazing memory to count cards.
"He doesn't have the concept of money." This makes him stay away from the worldly people and walk into his unique inner world, do whatever he wants, do everything with his own interests, "We can't go out when it rains. "This is the "Rain Man". He lives in his own world. He has a lot of happiness. He is very busy and has a lot of things to do every day. He is a funny "rain man"---"a funny rain man". It happened to be raining heavily when I was watching "Rain Man". It was very special to experience Raymond at this time.
I still clearly remember the strong contrast between my brother and my brother at the beginning. When the chic brother wearing sunglasses and the stupid brother with his head tilted were walking in the beautiful picturesque scene together, I saw my brother staggering and unable to keep up. My brother's appearance is very uncomfortable in my heart, and my mood is very complicated. My brother doesn't have a modern atmosphere, but what I see behind the image of a "hillie" in the eyes of ordinary people is a better heart than my younger brother, and at the same time, I see that family affection is extremely precious. Very unaccustomed to those who cast a strange look at the country folks.
Let's take a look at my brother again. At the beginning, he had only one purpose, which was to get a lot of inheritance. So he wronged himself very uncomfortable and even unbearable to be with his brother. But he himself did not realize that his cunning, his rage, and his profitism became gentle under the invisible influence of his brother's kindness and innocence. At the same time, he became more humane and kind. Instead of a three-hour flight, a three-day car. Later, I even helped my brother take off his shoes, listened to my brother's reminiscences of his childhood together, and taught his brother to dance. When the camera gradually moved to their faces close together, in fact, we already felt the victory of family love over money. In the end, the moment when the elder brother took the train away, he left his younger brother alone on the platform with a loss of expression, telling us that what he really needed was his brother and not anything else, so he was still chic but uncomfortable wearing sunglasses, as if something was missing.
The music of the film is also very good. Sometimes lingering and touching tunes wafted, and sometimes exuding fast-paced and relaxing movements. Especially the glorious percussion that the brothers walked towards the casino was full of the smell of sunshine, which made all our heavy hearts become like wild horses, and freedom bloomed like never before. At the end of the film, a familiar light music appeared, which made me enter the inner world of Raymond again at the end, and I didn't want to come out for a long time.
However, the film ended too quickly, and many people were fascinated, if something was missing, so that the aftertaste came too soon.
