The Best Legacy——Comment on the movie "Rain Man"

I finally finished watching this long-famous film "Rain Man". I never understood before, why is it called Rain Man? After watching the movie, I realized that the original actor was called Raymond, but when he was a child, his brother Charlie was always called rain man. Maybe, the child is slurred? When Lei grew up, although he was always an autistic patient, he always remembered the time he spent with his younger brother when he was young. When he heard rain man, he said unconsciously: funny rain man. . . This period is very touching, and the memories are usually very touching. Lei loves his younger brother very much. Maybe this love is just out of instinct, but simple. Although he may not know the way to love, his love may seem clumsy and unrealistic, but it is like a kind of power that, if touched in an instant, will pour down, very turbulent.

His hand touched his younger brother's head very insensitively, like an elder saying to the younger: Be good, don't be afraid. In fact, he didn't know that he was a "child" who needed people's care. A person with autism lives in his own world and refuses to communicate with others. Although he has an extraordinary mathematics genius, in the eyes of normal people, he is still an out-and-out "mentally handicapped".

No one can cut off the blood ties between family relationships, let alone a pair of brothers? Charlie used him as a tool to be used to a burden, until he finally fell in love with this stupid brother, it only took a few days. Yu Qi said that an innocent and innocent brother with a digital genius impressed him, rather than saying that the kind of brotherhood that was inherent in his body originally existed in his blood. It was a constant relationship, even if they had only met after more than 20 years. I really doubted whether the silly Lei really knew that the man in front of him was his own brother, until I saw the shot of the last two with their foreheads together. Lei didn't know that he was leaving his younger brother. When his younger brother was upset and leaned on him, he leaned his head unconsciously, wondering what he was thinking at the moment? But he couldn't help being moved by this lens. Who said that the two didn't have a trace of telepathy at the time? He can appreciate Charlie's sentimentality, but he doesn't understand why Charlie is sentimental. The only thing he can do is to comfort him silently.

Who said that Charlie would not win that custody lawsuit? However, he gave in. He no longer wanted his dear brother to be insulted by anyone in court, nor did he want a simple "child" to suffer such torment. He was originally simple, why let him choose "A" RO "B"? Let everything go with the flow! Although the two can't always be with each other from now on, how can the geographical distance stretch the relationship between the hands and feet? For Charlie, isn't it the silly rain man that his dead father left him the best legacy?
