There is a story. It is a crimson juice cocktail in a goblet. It is bitter and sweet when it is drunk. It is the small intoxicating green on the delicate matcha cake. It is fresh and lingering. It is still fresh. The heat from the fried steak was warm and a bit stinging. Yuren is such a story, exuding all kinds of subtle emotions, which we need to taste with our heart.
This is a movie with family relationships as the main line. The relationship between father and son is hidden behind brotherhood and supports the development of brotherhood. Without his father's decision back then, without his seemingly unfair will, there would be nothing going on. Love is only the finishing part, but it inadvertently acts as a bridge, connecting the fragile affection. The elaboration of emotions is the most profound part of the film. The film seems to convey to us that the way we deal with various emotions is actually similar, that is, to wake up our numb heart, use love to resolve conflicts, and use true feelings to infect people.
With the golden open-top Buick, the blue sky, the verdant land, and the wide roads, the movie is actually a road movie. Someone joins, some leaves, and the car keeps driving. Charlie’s love is flat, his business is in crisis, his father has passed away, and the distribution of inheritance is a headache. When everything falls into chaos, life will naturally give you an opportunity to change and reshape. The appearance of Raymond is like the god of luck descending into Charlie's life. The three million inheritance that Raymond inherited is enough for Charlie to solve many problems. So the planned abduction, the unforeseen journey, and the inexorable end, are staged one after another. What the movie presents is a story in which family love is awakened and concepts are changed. The theme is very common, but because of the creation of a character like Raymond, it appears interesting and has a long meaning.
Raymond, suffering from autism, has difficulty communicating with others, but has great talent for memory and numbers. Because he is very strange to the outside world, he feels that danger is everywhere, his nature retains childlike innocence, willfulness and stubbornness, and resolutely refuses what he does not want to do. Dustin Hoffman performed Raymond with superb acting skills. The Raymond he performed is extremely cute in his walking posture, speaking, and thinking. From his seemingly clumsy movements and words , We will not only smile with a knowing heart, but also see more things about the kindness and simplicity of human nature, as well as the most candid expression. Most normal people will conceal their emotions, talk and do things depending on the occasion, but Raymond won’t, he doesn’t understand the rules of the outside world, so he can express his thoughts unscrupulously, screaming, babbling. Use all the unique methods he has mastered to "torture" Charlie in order to achieve his goals. Charlie was initially unfamiliar with Raymond’s world. Facing his series of requirements, he felt headache and bored. However, due to the three million inheritance, Charlie did not give up easily. He slowly adapted to and obeyed him. When Charlie truly integrated into his life rules, Charlie finally understood and recognized him, and found a way to deal with feelings from his strange expressions.
Raymond usually lives in his own small world. I don't know how he habitually answers simple questions. There are so many things he can't answer, but he knows how to love, how to love others, and how to be loved. Raymond never forgets the short time he spent with his parents and younger brother when he was a child. That period was the most beautiful and soft part in his memory. To this day, he still remembers the scene of scalding his younger brother, and feels extremely self-blame, and he muttered uncomfortably: Don't hurt Charlie. Raymond's intelligence may be defective, but emotionally he has remained sensitive and sober. He is not very clear about the way of expressing love. He is only driven by the love in his heart to do what he thinks is right. In fact, he did a good job, but his simple expressions pointed to the heart.
And Charlie, in this journey, is actually the biggest winner. In constantly adapting to the lifestyle of Thunder Mongol Monster, he learned how to care and care for others, understood his father's approach, dealt with work problems, and found love again. So when the doctor sent him 250,000, he refused. He knew that he had got enough, and the brotherhood with Raymond became the most precious thing in the end. Sometimes, we need to leave for a while, leave the hustle and bustle of life, find a simple person to go on the road together, experience different lives together, and then examine ourselves and gain fresh knowledge.
The two favorites are Charlie teaches Raymond to dance and the kiss in the elevator. Both Charlie and Susanna showed the most patience and softness in their interactions with Raymond. When Charlie and Raymond danced slowly back and forth on the small stage, the feasting outside was no longer related to them, the world seemed to be silent, Raymond’s expression was still stupid, but showing love Longing, a short dance touched us like this. As for the kiss in the elevator, I think Raymond tasted the damp warmth, and his lost heart at that moment was comforted. He should have felt the word love.
In the last scene, Raymond seemed to hold back his tears and stepped into the train. When the movie is over, the love will continue. Charlie will love his proud brother, and Raymond will also enjoy the beauty of being loved, and they will all get their own glass of the most mellow wine.
Perhaps we should release the ability of love in our nature to earnestly understand and care for the people we love. The ordinary life will become wonderful because of love, and it will become like a poem because of the search for and demand for love.
