Rain Man


Rain Man, is a film about the story of 2 brothers, one of whom suffers from autism, and the other is a young entrepreneur, ambitious with economic problems, the story begins when the father of two dies, and the inheritance is divided between his two sons to the sick guy of autism; Raymond, he inherited 3 million USD and the son 'healthy', Charles, he inherited a convertible car, the ambition of Charles will take him to fight for Raymond’s custody , thereby conserving 3 million dollars, but during his journey will realized that his best friend Rain Man, an imaginary friend, is really Raymond, his brother. In my opinion this is an excellent movie that shows the world from two sights completely different, for one the world means nothing more than money and power, while for the other the world is reduced to the routine already memorized, both ends are totally dangerous for anyone, similarly shows two phases of intelligence, Charles, is a cunning and manipulative young man who always achieves its objectives, but if you look carefully, Raymond is not much different, except for their huge capacity of memory, which in no way can be called intelligence. Speaking precisely of this issue, I think the movie tries to show us how people with autism develop other skills, and we could catalog of geniuses to these people, but for me the ability to Raymond has nothing to do with intelligence, even if this could have known what would happen in the casino, counting the cards, or for example that was faster than the calculator to perform a multiplication, he knew because he had seen it not because he knew what is a multiplication. At the end gives us a great lesson of love, and even when I did not see the end, taking that this is a production of Hollywood, I can imagined, finally I believe that the film shows us two worlds, as I mentioned, that are opposites but, at a crossing point you can realize that they are more similar to what we believe, and that Charlie is so dependent on Raymond as Raymond on Charlie.
