怀念和忘却——电影《雨人》观后感
世间总有一种温情让人难以忘却割舍,那就是骨肉亲情。这种亲情在光怪陆离的大千世界里正受到种种欲望的挑战时,人们选择了什么?电影《雨人》告诉了我们答案——亲情。
这是一部讲述兄弟间骨肉情深的电影。当查理多年之后仍然耿介于父亲当年对他的教育时,父亲的去世并没有给他带来多少悲伤;相反,倒是300万美元的遗产让他为之寝食难安并欲穷尽手段。之后,他查明那些钱是留给他哥哥的。而这个哥哥他从未听说过,当然在记忆里他是以雨人(雷曼,因其发音不准读作了rain man)的形象存在的。无需否认,在最初阶段,查理丝毫没有念及兄弟之情,而是将其哥哥作为一种工具,即想获得对他的监护权,当然这种权利的背后是为了巨额遗产。而电影故事情节就是从这里展开,直到它复原了一个幼年的记忆和一份亲情故事。
父亲是怎样的人,电影中未作详尽的交待。但是我们可以通过父亲对儿子的遗嘱做些稍稍的理解,他有着与不同常人的父爱,那种爱的深沉是小儿子在当时看不到和不能理解的,相反,这恰是查理不悦的记忆并直接导致父子失和许多年。父亲对儿子的爱,之于另一个患自闭症的大儿子雷曼却是忘不了的;并且雷曼对弟弟的爱也如打上了烙印一般永驻内心,不容丝毫的侵犯。这种永恒的亲情和爱,它是美好的,无疑应当为人们所记住和怀念.
对幼年时代的事,人们有许多已经记不住了。那些所能记住的仅以残缺碎片的方式存在,并且随着时间的流淌愈发支离破碎。这些支离破碎的记忆残片所包含的信息可以是一个人、一件事或一个场景等等。它们彼此相互分割,并不关联或者有一定关联却不知为何关联,它随着时间将更多地成为回忆者对往事的一种记忆符号。这种符号不一定是具体的上述记忆碎片,也可以用美好或丑陋等修饰词一语概之,这似乎要归结于记忆碎片的影响力。这种符号和其他的记忆碎片的分割,使人回忆不起来,甚至有些时候人们不知不觉地去怀疑它的存在。但符号做为线索的确能使记忆碎片复原,即复原那个完整的故事记忆。这种对符号的还原记忆或许是经历者本人在稍稍留神时或许能记住,但电影的妙趣是将对事件的回忆和复原交给了雨人,一个残障人。这的确是值得一个正常健全人去做深刻反思的,那就是应该记住的和不能忘却的,具有良知的人们都记住了吗?
雨人是残缺的,而不残的是记忆。如果将其当做独立于每个人的一个天才记忆者能够帮助我们记住亲情的话,还不如归类于他可以是或者就是我们每个人记忆存储器或提醒者。电影是讽喻的,这种象征化的意义正是告诉我们,它表现了人们对自身亲情的缺失而不自知。
情节的记忆复原意味着亲情的完整,当查理将哥哥所带给他幼年一系列的记忆时,他感动了。他感动于哥哥的关心和爱护,他理解了父亲当年的教诲,他感悟于女友对他的爱,当然他更加悔悟于早年无知的任性和对亲情的漠然。在这样一个充满诱惑和欲望的世界里,他做了反思,最终没有迷失而选择了正确。
我们每个人内心中都似乎应有着这样一个小小的雨人,它象是一面镜子深沉地反照我们自身日益的浮躁,它教会了我们对亲情的念念不忘和感恩。善待雨人,正如善待自己。

I am so impressed by the connection between the brothers. The kinship is a great power in theworld.
Rain Man is a moving story about two brothers, one a selfish yuppie named Charlie Babbitt who cares only about the importance of money and the other named Raymond who is a autistic and doesn't know anything about the importance of money. Charlie realizes that his father left three million dollars to Raymond and little to him, as he also realizes Raymomd is his brother! Charlie kidnaps Raymond from his residential home and begins a long journey and discovery that will forever change both their lives. Rain Man is a completely moving, emotional, funny, and unforgettable movie. Dustin Hoffman is one of my favorite actors and plays his most memorable role as well as Tom Cruise, who gives a great performance that helped a lot in launching most of his career. The direction by Barry Levinson is stunning and of course, his best yet. Overall, the film is a timeless classic that moves me in every way. This is definitely one of the best films of the 80's and one of my all time favorites. Yea, definitely, definitely, recommend it!
