Drama

A money-obsessed jackass takes his autistic brother on a roadtrip.

It feels a lot longer than it is, but even as an overly-long movie it's never quite boring. And the music is terrible. But otherwise, it's a great movie, the sort that can really effect you. I kept thinking about it for a while after watching it.

One thing that struck me re-watching this is occasional shots that give you a sort of alien sense of the world, especially the snap-shots that run over the credits. They somehow twist ordinary and easily-identifiable images to look like abstract shapes. ( )

I think this story is a moving and heart-warming story.　At first, I don't like Charlie because he thinks only money. So he goes to Wallbrook Home and will try to fight with his brother’s doctor for his money. However,He was refused to get money. He takes Raymond from the place. Raymond is an autistic person. Although he can't feel and sticks to the same way to do everything,he experienced several things at that time. Though nobody knows he may be able to feel a little, I hope so. ( )

Selfish yuppie Charlie Babbitt's father left a fortune to his savant brother Raymond and a pittance to Charlie; they travel cross-country. (IMDb) ( )
