Genius is always neurotic

Hoffman's performance is commendable. Judging from several of his recent films, this role can be described as a classic. A gifted neurotic child meets his younger brother unexpectedly. The younger brother uses his elder brother to make money, but it is not so bad. In the end, family love overcomes everything, which is a touching story.

Several details are handled very delicately.

One is that the older brother told the younger brother Rain man when he was brushing his teeth, and the suspense of the childhood partner was finally revealed.

Later, a prostitute in the casino asked his brother what he was doing, and he said he lived with his brother. This is the first time an older brother speaks of his younger brother and doesn't sound like a kidnapper. It may be that I am over-hearted, and my brother is not that idiot.

Later, when parting, the elder brother took the initiative to touch the head of the younger brother, and was very moved.

In the end, the younger brother said that he would see his elder brother in two weeks, and the elder brother figured out the time. Now used in the lover's hypocritical love words, the movie appeared in the middle of 1988, and it still moved me for a long time.

I watched "The Graduate" before, and the difference from "Rain Man" is that the theme song of "The Graduate" is very good, while "Rain Man" is a bit boring. In my opinion, there is no good song.

Rammon is Rain man, played a word game and made me think there would be a lot of scenes in the rain. If you want to match a meaning with the theme, it seems to make sense. The charm of the film is to make you think, not so explicit, a little bit toy with the audience. But to be clear, why not watch the documentary?

I wanted to see this movie for a long time, and it never dragged on. After watching it today, I think I will watch it a second time. Because at first glance there are no loopholes, it is complete, and I am satisfied with the details. Although not as funny as "The Graduate".

The last thing I want to say is that Hoffman and Cruise are really a bit similar, although a handsome guy and a native turtle.
