In the early hours of Tuesday morning when the sun just showed a little light on the horizon, I watched this long-awaited movie with my friends at Netfish.
When the Buick was driving on the open plain, the only road that stretched to the horizon, I glanced at the others—the black eye bags caused by the night were all boring, dead fish eyes that could be changed for another film—instead I I think this bland film must not be easy. The director who dares to attract the audience without relying on visual experience and appetite before the film must have expected, tepid flirtation, and finally the climax will come happily and drippingly.
In the bland or even boring narrative, there are two main emotional flashpoints, which are the two brothers expressing their hearts to each other.
One is the pain of Raymond hysterically shouting "Hot water burn baby" and "Never hurt Charlie" in the bathroom... The audience and Charlie understand one thing at the same time: No matter how much time has passed, Ray still remains It's the autistic child who sings to make his younger brother happy, the elder brother who loves his younger brother like his life, and the Rain man who has always loved Charlie deeply.
Although Ray has amazing memory and numerical calculation ability, his mind will always stay in children——for him, lollipops and luxury cars are worth $100——he is paranoid Retaining all the habits of his childhood, he accurately remembers all the details about Dad and Charlie, and at the same time preserves the warmth to his family just as he keeps old photos.
Charlie's attitude towards Ray gradually changed from using and irritability to being patient and caring after realizing that Rain man, who is his spiritual sustenance, is actually his unparalleled brother who loves him. The emotion of the two people is the beginning of the real connection.
That's why there is a big killing in Las Vegas, a top-level kit's sloppy dance, and a tacit joke in a pancake shop.
Second, when C, who was good at persuasion, eloquent, and never compromised, faced Dr. Bruner, he was incoherent and even at the end he said "You made your point. Its over" and asked Ray over and over again" you don't want more questions , do you ?" At this time, C's repeated question is no longer because he can't use Ray to obtain inheritance, but because he cherishes brotherhood. The foreheads of the two brothers were only pressed together, and the 1-minute long shot did not have any words, but it was worth a thousand words. All the pictures we walked along the way flashed through our minds one after another, and each of us was touched.
The older brother who lives in childhood and the younger brother who is shrewd and selfish, the soul is truly connected to everything, even if the separation is imminent.
The story ends here.
As the father of the dark line, he loves his two sons. Leave all your property to Ray and entrust it to a trust fund that will keep him safe for the rest of his life. Giving his most cherished Buick and proudest rose bush to Charlie - he knows C so well that he can infer what happened with C: brothers reunited, C abandons his motherly self, ran away resentment , learn to love and be loved, harvest family affection, love——this is the greatest wealth.
Cleverly, when C was afraid, it was his elder brother Rain man who comforted him and let him get rid of his fear.
When the adult C fell into resentment and selfishness, it was still his brother Ray Man who comforted her and helped him out of the predicament.
The elder brother who needs to be taken care of by others and lives forever in childhood is the leader of the shrewd and capable younger brother - the main man.
Maybe this is what a director wants to convey: don't misunderstand, don't resent, don't be selfish, face life with the original truth, and embrace family and love.
