Movie Review Courtesy: Tivona Sivaram Rain man is not the typical kind of caregiving story you might see every day. It’s the story of two brothers – Charlie and Raymond, and the development of the two individuals in what could be described as a somewhat unusual situation. The film depicts a clear representation of autism and the caregiver’s journey with his autistic sibling. Auto car dealer Charlie Babbitt receives word that his estranged father has died, therefore he travels home to Cincinnati, where he learns that he has an autistic older brother named Raymond and that his father’s $3 million inheritance has been bequeathed to the mental institution where Raymond is housed. As a threat to collect the $3 million bequest, Charlie somewhat kidnaps Raymond and decides to take him on a cross–country road trip to Los Angeles. Charlie Babbitt’s Journey from Hustler to Caregiver This movie mainly focuses on character development, and we see Charlie’s development from being a self-serving, stubborn, and selfish person to a caring, understanding and even a selfless person in some cases. At the beginning of the movie Charlie calls his brother awful names such as idiot, retard, weird and crazy. He doesn’t seem to care about his brother and doesn’t even bother understanding him. After he “kidnaps” his brother, Charlie becomes his full-time caregiver for the span of 6 days. During this time, we see the relationship between the two develop. At first Charlie is very harsh on his brother and just wants to use him, but over time we see him start to notice Raymond’s intelligence, skills, and memory. Throughout his movie we see how Charlie changes his way of thinking and slowly starts to understand his autistic brother Raymond and even comes to appreciate him. As a new caregiver, we see Charlie go through the many different aspects of caregiving. At first, we see him struggle to cope with his brothers’ moods, routines, and his habit of repeating things. In many situations we see Charlie expressing his frustrations while taking […]
