Synopsis: Charlie Babbitt is a businessman who handles imported cars. Unexpectedly, his recent business has not gone smoothly. A batch of imported cars cannot be delivered because they did not obtain permission from the Environmental Pollution Prevention Bureau. The buyer has already paid a deposit and keeps calling to urge him. In order to avoid entanglement, Charlie handed over the company's business to his assistant and went out with his girlfriend. Just at this time, he received a phone call from his lawyer informing him that his father had passed away. Charley was very disappointed and angry when he learned from his father's will that he could only get a 1949 Buick sedan and a rose garden, and that the $3 million inheritance was entrusted to others to be deposited in the bank. He went to the bank and found out that the authoriser of the money was Dr. Bernard of the Walbrook Mental Hospital, and rushed to negotiate with him. From Dr. Bernard, he learned that he also has a half-brother named Raymond Babbitt, who is an 'autistic' patient and that your father left him $300,000. "The unexpected news stunned Charlie. He broke into Raymond's nursing ward and attempted to take Raymond away from the mental hospital; then defrauded him of US$3 million under the pretext of "having his brother personally take care of him without anyone else." Charlie planned to bring Raymond back to Los Angeles, but because Raymond had a set of habits, such as not flying, not going out on rainy days, and having to watch a fixed program on TV, they had to drive to Los Angeles. "Rain Man"(1988) had a boring journey. Charlie took care of Raymond and talked with him. He began to get to know his brother gradually, and sympathy for him turned into concern. In the end, although Raymond still had to return to the nursing home, the feelings between the brothers could no longer be separated. [Appreciation and Comment] The film is called "Rain Entering", which has nothing to do with rain, but refers to a patient with "self-isolation". These people are withdrawn, unsociable, can only think about themselves, and are similar to idiots. Among them, there are also people with superior intelligence in a certain way. "Rain Man" was very popular after its release and had a high attendance rate. The reasons for Wang's popularity were as follows: First, the film promptly reflected an issue of general concern in society and gave people useful inspiration. It turns out that many people think that such patients cannot be cured, but after watching the video, they find that they are still humane. If they are given care and warmth, they may be freed from the confusion of self-isolation. The film's vivid stories and specific images play a role that greatly exceeds the publicity in books and newspapers. Second, the film not only shows the survival problems of "autistic" patients, but also reflects family ethics and emotional issues from one aspect. The reason why Charlie was able to change from an unjust person who was ignorant of human feelings and scheming for inheritance to finally give up evil thoughts and become a knowledgeable person was mainly influenced by brotherhood. Although this change is still too fast, the audience enjoys the warm and brotherly feelings that are very lacking in American social life from the film. During the filming of "Rain Man", many well-known directors were invited, such as Steven Spielberg, Martin Brest, Sidney Pollack, etc., but they eventually refused to direct because the script was not substantial enough. In the end, Barry Ravenson accepted the directing task, and he rewrote the script before bringing the film back to life. Under his careful conception and direction, this film with a simple plot is full of attractive artistic charm. As a black comedy, on the one hand, the director views and criticizes the lifestyle of normal people in American society through Raymond's perspective; on the other hand, he carefully depicts the changes in the mentality and emotions of the two brothers. The tone of the entire film is sometimes gentle and sometimes cold. Compared with other directors, Ravenson can give actors greater freedom to perform, so Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise have the opportunity to fully demonstrate their acting talents. Among the many handsome actors in Hollywood, Hoffman is short and unattractive, but he has deep skills in acting. In 1979, he won the 52nd Academy Award for Best Actor for his outstanding performance in "The Kramer Couples". He played the role of Raymond in "Rain Man", allowing him to win this crown again. Because the character of Raymond has no dialogue, he basically relies on his appearance and movements, such as his head being tilted, his eyes being dull, and sometimes his eyes not looking at each other when talking to others. He does not stare at each other but his eyes are turned up., etc., vividly expresses his inner emotional changes, thus portraying the image of an "autistic" patient who is "half idiot and half talented" vividly. In order to perform this character well, he spent a year living with "autistic" patients, observing and understanding their living habits and typical characteristics; at the same time, he also consulted psychopathologists to understand this type of patient's mental state and causes of illness. For Hoffman, Ramon was the most difficult role he had ever mastered since he started filming. Because he devoted all his energy, he finally made it unique on the screen and achieved great success. Cruise, who partnered with Hoffman, is the top young man in Hollywood. He has performed well in films such as "The Gun King" and "The Color of Money". In "Rain Man", he better grasped Charlie's complex mentality, which not only vividly depicts his greedy and selfish side, but also more truly expresses Charlie's brotherhood for Raymond, so that this character's character does not fall into a simplistic pattern.
