Its the story of a selfish guy , His Brother and brotherhood. watch it with your brother or sister or alone , as we sometime forget what is real Love .Excellent Music and Acting .

Somehow this was on the list of a "must see" movie I never saw. I finally got around to it. i'm guessing it just didn't age well. Of course Dustin Hoffman's performance is great, but the rest? Either as part of some story or just as supporting actor, Tom Cruise's heavy-handed asshole character strains credulity. Every scene is uncomfortable and not because Raymond is autistic, but because Charlie is yelling at Raymond and giving him commands like a bad dog owner.

After the death of his father, a young car dealer with a troubled childhood gets shocked by two pieces of information which are received simultaneously. He received next to nothing from his father's fortune and he has a brother who's existence was kept secret all his life. He begins a desperate attempt to convince the lawyers that he deserves half of the fortune by using his autistic brother as exchange but ends up bonding with him, while all the money are put on a distant plan.It's an interesting approach in terms of character and point of view changes which occur suddenly for an introverted person who thought only about himself. Due to the high quality of the two main actors and their execution, we're presented a very interesting and emotional story of an unexpected bond between two very different characters, despite the natural difficulties of one of them. Their adventures are described in great detail but unfortunately the action is pretty static and tends to become repetitive. Although trying hard to induce something different towards the end, the movie's finale is abrupt and predictable.It's a very good movie, especially when talking about acting and characters, but it left me with the impression that they could have done a bit more about the plot, especially when it comes to the final part. I was expecting a masterpiece, just like "A Beautiful Mind" which simply left me breathless, but it wasn't able to raise that high.

When I watched this movie, I was impressed by the performance of Dustin Hoffman. His performance is wonderful and makes us think that he has really autism, for example, his screaming, the way he talks, his laughing and so on. Although Raymond that Dustin Hoffman plays talks monotonically, his performance tells us feeling of Raymond. As a result, I was absorbed in this story. In this story, Carlie and Raymond are described in contact. In generally, I think that they don't understand each other. However, Carlie changes slowly through contacting with Raymond. I think that this change is also attractive in this story. I think that this movie contains many meanings, so when we watched this movie again and again, I think that our feelings and thought will change. Because of this, I want to watch this movie carefully again and understand point of uncertainly and hidden meanings. I think that this movie is able to enjoy and be impressed!
