1. Rainman
The film "Rainman" is the story of two brothers, both intelligent in their own way. One is Charlie, a fast-talking, money hungry con-artist, and Raymond, his autistic brother. The film is about how both brothers are intelligent in their own way, and how Ray changes his brother. The focus is about how both brothers meet and get to know each other, although they have known each other much longer than Charlie has known.
At the very start of the film Charlie talks about "the rain man." He says "the rain man will come and make everything better again." Charlie is emotionally unstable at the beginning of the film as his father had just past away and he had been left basically nothing of a three million-dollar estate. This estate has been left to a beneficiary and later Charlie found out that this man was actually his brother Raymond. All that Charlie was left was the car that caused him and his father to stop talking. Charlie took the car without permission and his dad reported it stolen and let him stay in jail for it.
Charlie thinks that Raymond is stupid so he yells at him a lot. Charlie leads Ray away from Wallbrook with him, while the fight for the money continued. Charlie doesn't think of anyone but himself and doesn't understand that someone with autism needs a routine. This routine is all they have to try to feel safe about themselves. This is shown when Charlie is ordering dinner and the takeaway store does not have what Raymond wants so Charlie says, "bring the closest thing". .
Charlie's girlfriend, Susanna comes along for the ride. However, she soon gets fed up with how he treats his brother. She leaves after Ray walks in on a "private moment" (Don't know what this is here in W. Carrollton?) and Charlie gets extremely mad at Ray. Susanna is sick of it and leaves.
Charlie doesn't care about other peoples" needs, just ignores them, and goes on with what he's doing. When Ray tells Charlie that he needs a book to read Charlie throws him the phone book.
By looking at Christopher from The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, The Baker from Into the Woods, and Raymond Babbage from Rainman, I will discuss how each of these characters journeys affected them as well as how their journey changed them, whether it be for good or bad In the novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time the main character, Christopher is left with no other choice but to seek out hsi mother in London. ... The last works which will be discussed is the movie Rainman, and the main characters in this movie are Charlie and Raymond Babbage. ...
When the show first began I thought the movie would parallel the classic movie Rainman, staring Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman. ... The story is not about accepting the autistic adult like Rainman was but instead deals with parenting and the characteristics of a good parent. ...
