Rain man
The movie concentrates on two brothers and their dysfunctional  relationship . One brother , Raymond , is autistic and no one seems to understand what it really is that they are dealing with. The other brother, Charlie , is greedy and selfish, at least in the beginning of the movie. Somehow that changes as the film evolves.
The main problem in this movie is greed. Charlie only cares about money . When he finds out that his estranged father had left his inheritance to someone else , he gets mad. That is the reason why he took Raymond from the institution where he was living . He wanted to take the money from his brother even when he realised that there was something wrong with him. At least he came to his senses in the end.
The second problem revolves around Raymond and his disability . No one understood what he was going through. At that time, autism wasn't a widely known disorder . Nowadays, there is still no actual cure for it but it can be managed . Many people who are autistic can live relatively normal lives. The therapy for autism is usually different for every subject. It has to be developed for the patients' needs. In the movie, Raymond didn't have that. Even his own brother thought he was  crazy  and stupid when in reality , he was exceptionally smart and understood numbers the way no one else did.
The third problem is the relationship between Charlie and his father. They hadn't spoken for years when Charlie found out that he had died. It was all because his father had punished him for „borrowing“ his car. He took it very badly and left home. I think in the end he regretted the decision to ignore his father for all those years. There were many things left unsaid.
The movie was great. I had seen it once before and it was nice to see it again . I think it touchedmany subjects that were important and are still important today .
