『貳』 求電影Rain Man的英文讀後感，以及故事梗概（不超過20句）全部要求英文！
故事梗概：
Charlie is a hustler. He's been on his own long enough to know how to work people and situations. He finds that the father who threw him out as a teen ager has died. He's left him a now antique convertible and something more important, a previously unknown brother, Raymond. Raymond is autistic, but is able to calculate complicated mathematical problems in his head with great speed and accuracy. Their father has left his fortune to Raymond who doesn't even understand what money is for. Charlie is enraged by what has happened and by his father keeping Raymond's existence from him for his entire life. He kidnaps Raymond from his residential home but then finds that Raymond will only fly Qantas. The two begin a long road trip that will lead them to an understanding of each other.
讀後感：
Self-centred salesman Charlie Babbitt (Tom Cruise) kidnaps the autistic brother (Dustin Hoffman) he never knew existed to try and claw back his inheritance. Rain Man is about two brothers, and their new, forming relationship, learning to live with and love each other, and making that understanding that only brothers have.
Dustin Hoffman as Raymond Babbitt is without doubt one of the finest performances I have ever seen from Hollywood in the last two decades. The standard I think he set with Rain Man is one that is difficult to beat - he was extremely impressive as an autistic man. The way he walked, talked, even his eye movement and facial expressions, were all perfect. I was bowled over by his talent, and found him to be extremely believable as Raymond. Now, I'm not a Tom Cruise fan, but I have to admit he was very, very good in his role of the thoughtless, cynical, and arrogant Charlie Babbitt. This was probably the best he's ever done in his acting career. In addition to two wonderful performances, Cruise and Hoffman's connection on screen was fantastic, resulting in truly emotional, moving, and many times humorous, occasions. They had me floored.
I found Rain Man to have amazing cinematography. The entire casino sequence, I thought, was filmed beautifully. And a commendable mention must go to the elevator scene, with Raymond and Susanna. I found that scene to be truly heartbreaking, but at the same time sweet. The ending is one of those moments that cannot be explained; a unique closure that is truly soul-stirring and touching. Overrall, this is a poignant, powerful view of the human spirit.
Rain Man is a rare gem, and one which cannot be forgotten.
『叄』 急！！！------電影rain man的英文影評
Barry Levinson is one of the great screen directors of our time. He's most notable for being able to evoke subtly comedic discussions amongst his leading characters, save the rare occasion when his strained efforts backfire ("Toys" comes to mind). "Rain Man" (1988) is his crowning effort, his best achievement I can think of off-hand. It's considered a drama but it's also a true odd couple comedy, about two opposites who learn they have one common bond: their kinship.
The Cruise plays Charlie Babbitt, a wealthy car dealer living the high life in California. He's just gotten in a shipment of Ferraris and he's going to make a killing on an upcoming deal for all of them, when his entire background comes back to haunt him in a single unfortunate moment ring his newly acquired and quite happy life.
Charlie's father has just died, leaving him an old sports car and rose bushes. But more painful than the fact that his father has died or that he was left simply with a car and some prize-winning rosebushes is the fact that Charlie had tried to put his ill-fated past behind him, and now it has caught up with him again. He has to face the reality of his father once again.
This isn't really evident the first time you watch the movie. Charlie is angered at the fact that he got nothing more than some bushes and a vehicle, sure, but he admits he expected nothing more. What really angers him is that he has to face his father, dead or alive, once more; either through faded memories or by the realization that he is now dead and their friendship was never repaired.
When Charlie finds out that his father's entire estate has been left to a single trustee, he schemes around and unmasks who the trustee really is -- his older brother he never knew he had, Raymond Babbitt (Hoffman), who lives in a homey mental institute and quotes the Bud Abbott and Lou Costello "Who's on first?" charade when he gets nervous.
Charlie confronts his brother, who seems as though he doesn't recognize him. And in a moment of weakness, Charlie kidnaps his brother from his home, drives him back to California, and attempts to squeeze the money out of Raymond, who has no holding on the concept of money at all.
Despite his lack of understanding regarding monetary value, Raymond is an idiot savant, and Charlie takes advantage of Raymond's mathematical skills by taking him to Las Vegas to count cards. After achieving a fortune they are thrown out of the casinos and left to face charges of kidnapping. The problem is, by the time it's all over, Charlie has formed an odd sort of bond with his brother. Long after the laughs settle the emotional impact of the story sinks in.
The ending is the sort of rare conclusion that brings tears to the eyes. Throughout the film, Charlie is an arrogant, ignorant, greedy businessman who cares of no one but himself. By the end, however, he has learned more than he has in his entire lifetime from the brother he never had. And unlike a lot of the buddy films out there, we get to see the bonding between Charlie and his big brother, Raymond, form on a daily basis, until it is brought to a standstill.
Dustin Hoffman gives his best performance in "Rain Man," one of such unmatched strength and brilliance that we often feel that we are really watching an autistic man on screen. Raymond Babbitt is one of the most memorable characters you will ever encounter as a viewer, and though Dustin Hoffman isn't necessarily a favorite actor of mine, I place his performance in "Rain Man" as one of the most convincing and touching performances of all time.
Trying to put the reason that "Rain Man" is so great into words is simply impossible. It's got everything. And as humorous as Raymond Babbitt becomes, he never seems unreal or obnoxious. As I watch him every time I watch the movie, I completely forget Dustin Hoffman is playing him until I mentally remark on how well he is doing so. This is movie magic, folks.
Hollywood has a fascination with characters like Forrest Gump and Raymond Babbitt, but -- even more so than Gump -- Raymond is never annoying. (That's not saying that Gump is, but...Raymond is even more touching and realistic.) Raymond is a fair bit more impaired than Forrest, and we feel for him even more (though which is the better film I could never say).
By all means, see this movie. Drop whatever you're doing and rent it, buy it, watch it over and over. It's amazing. I don't care if I sound like a mainstream critic trying to get my quotes on the new Special Edition box of the DVD (yes, please!), I love this movie and I can't say enough good things about it.

『陸』 電影rainman影評
這是一部在奧斯卡的大名單中留下自己名字的經典影片，也是整個八十年代極具影響力的一部影片。在我看來，它更像是一部嚴謹的，甚至有些刻板的好萊塢式教科書。影片力求達到所謂"學術"與"大眾"之間最為適當的交匯點，並在合適的時候將這一點發揚光大，一方面得到那些評委們的肯定，另一方面博得大眾的歡欣，這，也正是影片取得巨大成功的主要原因。
影片選擇了"親情"這個具有無窮魅力的情感主題，並且貫穿在整部電影當中，使用道德的多重選擇來對"親情"概念加以烘托。所謂"道德的多重選擇"，實際上指的是在片中作為弟弟的查理（湯姆·克魯斯飾）在對待金錢利益和手足之情上的兩種選擇，這也是構成影片矛盾的焦點所在。我們首先考察一下影片中的哪些因素對其情感主題起作用了。
本片導演巴里·萊文森一向以對社會事物及社會熱點的冷靜洞悉而著稱。他的電影大多風格內斂，在對鏡頭的處理上顯得中規中矩，常將鏡頭的焦點對准人物並以此為線索展開整個事件。在對主導動機的處理上簡單含蓄，顯得冷硬而規矩。影片開場時的第一個主導動機：吊在半空中的汽車，就直截了當地點出了整部影片敘事的主體——公路。而汽車則是影片中矛盾發展的載體。同時，這里也點出了影片主人公查理的人物身份。在接下來的工作間一場戲里，更是表現了查理的精明能幹、善於調和事物的諸多性格側面。另外，在空中的汽車也在一定程度上暗示了查理如日中天的工作背景，彷彿就像他架車行駛在天空中一樣，而處在景深空間的則是一幢幢高樓大廈。
接著，查理得到父親去世的消息，於是去參加葬禮，卻發現了一輛車，便引出了對兒時的記憶。原來，查理因為偷開父親的車而被父親唾棄。車成為影片中矛盾的動因。正是由於車的原因，查理才會和父親不和，自己也因此幹上了汽車行當。在下面的段落中，同樣利用汽車，引出了本片的真正主角——"雨人"（達斯汀·霍夫曼飾）。於是整部影片的所有設置已基本確立，在剩下的時間里，就是利用這些設置製造並解決其中提出的矛盾。
從查理把"雨人"帶出醫院開始直到"雨人"返回醫院是影片的中心敘事段落，占據了整個影片的2/3以上。這一進展過程看上去更像是公路片模式，而汽車更是成了這一大段中重要的道具和承載體。影片的編創人員也有意識地要用汽車而不是其他交通工具來完成對片中"親情"主題的刻畫。當查理准備帶"雨人"上飛機時，"雨人"表現出了極度的恐慌與不安，並歷數了以前各個時期的飛機失事。查理在毫無辦法的情況下只好答應"雨人"搭乘汽車的要求。至此，編導們達到了利用汽車來延展敘事時空，營造一個相對廣闊敘事環境的目的。
汽車是整個事件發展的承載體，也是主題發揮的良好基石。在二人行到中途的時候，"雨人"突然想起自己的內褲，於是要求查理回到他指定的地方買那條指定的內褲。已經被這個怪哥哥弄的焦頭爛額的查理此時進退兩難。異常無奈的他氣憤地離開了汽車，獨自一人邊走邊大聲抱怨，可當他回頭再看時，哥哥也已經不在車內了，而是向賣內褲的那個方向走去。這時的汽車里空無一人，代表的是兄弟倆情感及思維方式上的隔閡與難以溝通，於是倆人相繼離開了他們心靈交流的場所——汽車，頓時造成了一種分離空盪的藝術效果。而當後來查理和"雨人"在賭場贏了一大筆錢後和蘇珊娜一同乘車嬉戲時，氣氛卻是暖洋洋的，因為汽車在這一狹小空間代表的是兄弟間心靈的溝通，讓他們同時沐浴在金色的陽光中，噴泉中的泉水也像是和著歡快的舒暢的背景音樂雀躍起舞，發出輕捷明快、滴入人心的水滴聲。在這兩個地方，汽車顯然是充當了"親情"溝通的場所，形成了鮮明的反差，且為情節的進一步發展打下了基礎。
除了汽車之外，影片中還利用了諸如電話、電視之類的現代科技產物來對現實社會狀態進行一些側面的隱晦的折射，並產生了一定的社會諷刺作用。不過，影片中最大的諷刺還是出於"雨人"對查理的諷刺。
"雨人"指的是患有"自閉症"的一類人，是被排除在正常人世界外的。片中的"雨人"雷曼德便是典型。他做事情總是循規蹈矩，要求一切事物一陳不變。他害怕與他人進行交流與接觸，對世界的一切都僅限於平面化的、教條式的認識，其行為舉止更是屬於"異類"，完全不顧及周圍環境的變化，只是根據自己的主觀意識行動。和以往表現"非正常人"的電影一樣，影片中的"雨人"除了先天性殘疾外，還具有某些"正常人"所不具備的一些特長。在影片中，編導不厭其煩地表現他對數字的獨特興趣和超凡的記憶能力，並強化了這一個人行為上的主導線索，成為了整個敘事中重要動機而存在。影片還利用其自身的這一特性，營造出一種特別的喜劇效果和戲劇張力。從某種角度上講，"雨人"這個角色是影片整個戲劇性的焦點所在。片中的喜劇環節、矛盾的動因均在他的身上得以體現。如查理與蘇珊娜做愛時，不明事理的雷曼德闖進了他們的房間，並和蘇珊娜一起哼哼起來。這樣的以他個人無意識、無邏輯的行為創造出的笑料在影片中層出不窮。更重要的是，他的這一行為引起了查理的不滿，也為敘事的進一步發展以及兩種對立性格層面的相互溶解奠定了基礎。
以後的敘事中心點基本上圍繞兄弟兩人性格、志趣上的格格不入深入下去。而"雨人"雷曼德則是二人關系中的支柱點。直到查理找到雷曼德身上可以為自己所用的地方，獲得了極大物質和心理滿足時，兩人的性格、行為沖突才被化解。由此可以確立此人物在全片中起著推動事件因果發展的作用。
對於營造良好的"笑果"一向以來都是好萊塢的強項，特別是在當一個"非正常"個體進入"正常世界"時的各種行為都會給人以怪誕、滑稽之感。影片借"雨人"大作文章，尤其是由於他的固執、苛守規章引出的連串喜劇，如前文中提到的闖入弟弟房間一段，在影片中段執意要買指定內褲以及當他借別人家收看電視時，家中小孩子們一個個面無表情地盯著電視與他像孩子般看得津津有味形成的反差。這些細節讓他的形象生動可愛，又讓影片整體的觀賞效果上了一個台階。
事實上，讓我們仔細觀察一下，不難發現，導演基本上是以純粹客觀的視角來進行拍攝的。我們幾乎看不到人物的內心視像，這是本片的又一大特點（這也是巴里·萊文森一貫的電影風格）。"雨人"的形象雖然生動親切，但也僅僅是豐富了影片的娛樂元素，推動了整個事件的進程。對於"雨人"自身來講，沒有多少人性特徵，他看上去更象是查理的一面鏡子，通過這面鏡子，觀眾看到的是社會中人們所追求、崇尚的那些"實際利益"，而在影片中則表現為查理的拜金主義和惟利是圖。可以這么說，查理這個人物形象就是美國的一個縮影，片中有一個地方表現得很出采，當委託人正在宣讀查理父親遺囑時，鏡頭所對準的是查理的一隻手，那隻手上套著兩枚戒指，正不耐煩地敲擊著桌子。這一形象化的描述把一個對財產視若珍寶卻對親情視為旁物的典型形象刻畫地入木三分。相對於查理，"雨人"對數字有著超乎尋常的敏銳捕捉及出色的記憶能力，但對同樣要依靠數字來分辨的金錢卻是一竅不通。於是，查理為了錢而與"雨人"走上了同一條路，"雨人"則用自己的各種行為讓查理認識到比錢更重要的東西——親情。當然，作為一部帶有明顯商業化烙印的好萊塢電影，宣揚的又是一個積極向上的人性主題，那麼結局的設置必定是具有明確道德立場判斷的。影片的敘事也努力地讓查理這個人物身上所具有的"劣性"一步步被"洗脫"，最後使他在觀念上發生"根本的轉變"，給觀眾一個"圓滿"的解釋，並把許多尖銳的諷刺以曖昧的方式進行了"自我化解"，讓影片看起來不會過於惹眼，又有一定的深意。
本片最大的亮點還是達斯汀·霍夫曼那無懈可擊的天才表演。用可愛、精緻、偉大或是其他任何贊美之辭來修飾他都不為過。尤其是他在形體上的把握，使他無論在中近景鏡頭還是遠景鏡頭都是整個畫面最吸引人注目的焦點。霍夫曼對"自閉症"患者近乎神經質式的詮釋將"非正常人"的表現境界又提高了一步。相比之下，扮演弟弟的湯姆·克魯斯在他的光環下就顯得相形見拙了，純粹就像是一個花瓶似的擺設。
綜上所述，得出的結論是，《雨人》是一部值得玩味的不錯的情感片，但依舊是擺脫不了好萊塢模式的窠臼，以商業元素的介入為主，藝術樣式的創造為輔，製造出符合大眾口味的電影。道德標准被確立在主導環節，並對影片的敘事及藝術創造產生了直接的影響。類似的影片在美國比比皆是，只是這部《雨人》總體基調及細節上的把握更細膩、平穩，再加上天才的表演，所以取得了巨大的成功，這也從一個側面代表了奧斯卡的取捨標准——中庸的題材 傳統的手法。
『柒』 電影rainman英文影評
影評1：
This is an excellent film. Rain Man incorporates moving drama, timeless scenery and unbelievable performances from Dustin Hoffman and even Tom Cruise who up to this point in film history was known for typical chick flicks or films in which his potential was not shown, even the color of money couldn't make him look like any kind of decent actor. Yet in Rain Man he isn't bad, but I suppose it is very clear and easy to say that Dustin acts him off the screen. The screen is a simple tale of brotherly love. Dustin plays Raymond "The Rain Man" Babbitt, the long lost, supposedly autistic brother of Charlie Babbitt (Cruise). As Charlie finds out he has a brother never revealed to him by his father he feels let down and betrayed, and even more so that now his father is dead and leaving his estate, to the value of $3.000.000 to his brother, and not to himself. So Charlie in his situation decides to take Raymond away from the medical institution he was left in, and goes on a huge road trip, not willing to give his brother up, unless the institutes settles his share of his father's assets. But as this slow but intriguing film goes on, the bonds get stronger, and you can see the devotion settling in around them as they establish some common ground. And so when the end of the film comes and the brothers are ripped apart, even though really you know they should be allowed to unite it is extremely saddening. The end scene is particularly good, and very emotional, and the fact Barry Levinson has made characters the audience can genuinely care for, it means that the overall effect on the viewers is elevated to a whole new and amazing degree. It is brilliant. Don't deny this film it's worth because of technicalities and the fact it doesn't relay the correct message, and praise the quality of its creation. Which is without a shadow of a doubt one of the best and most touching film proctions to ever grace the screen.

I have seen this movie probably 7 or 8 times in the past three years, wrote a paper about it for my college film class last semester, and basically regard it as my favorite movie of all time. Where to begin with the praise for this movie? Let's start with the acting. Dustin Hoffman is my favorite actor, and has been for a while. I'd watch him in any role. I was amazed at the way he was able to pull off this role. I've never seen a more deserved Oscar win. The vacant stare, the monotone voice, the screaming, it was unbelievable. Each time I watch it I am floored by his talent. Tom Cruise is also good, the villain of the story who undergoes such a subtle change that it's almost not visible until nearly the end. He is, however, perfectly suited for the flashy, egotistical character of Charlie, and I think he did a great job. The directing was unobtrusive and beautiful, for the most part just letting the action unfold, which is exactly the way it should have been done. It's a feel-good movie that does that and more, and I think nothing I've seen in the movies is as touching as the scene in the motel where Charlie discovers who "Rain Man" really is. I give this movie a 9.5 out of 10. Absolutely wonderful.

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!
『捌』 求 rain man 英文影評1000字 文中不提劇情!
可是他懂得愛
有這樣一種故事，它是高腳杯里緋紅色的果汁雞尾酒，喝下去是帶著苦澀的甜蜜，它是精緻的抹茶蛋糕上那一小片醉人的綠，清新而令人流連，它還是剛煎好的牛排冒出的熱氣，溫暖又有點刺痛人。雨人就是這樣的故事，散發著種種微妙的情感，需要我們用心品嘗。
這是一部以親情為主線的電影，父子情隱藏在手足情之後，支撐著手足情的發展。如果沒有父親當年的決定，沒有他看似不公平的遺囑，就不會有接下來的一切。愛情只是潤色的部分，卻在無意中充當了橋梁，銜接起了原本脆弱的親情。對於情感的闡述，是電影最精深的部分，電影似乎在傳達給我們處理各種情感的方式其實是相似的，那就是要喚醒自己麻木的心，用愛去化解矛盾，用真情去感染人。
金色的敞篷別克，蔚藍的天空，青翠的大地，寬闊的道路，電影其實是一部公路片。有人加入，有人離開，而車一直在開。查理的愛情流於平淡，生意麵臨危機，父親去世，遺產分配令人頭疼，當一切都陷入混沌狀態，生活會自然地給你一個契機，去改變和重塑。雷蒙的出現就像幸運之神降臨在查理的生活里，雷蒙繼承的三百萬的遺產，足夠查理解決很多問題。於是蓄謀的拐帶，無法預料的旅程，到最後的難舍難分，接連上演。電影所呈現的是一個親情被喚醒，觀念被轉變的故事，題材很普遍，卻由於塑造了雷蒙這樣一個人物而顯得趣味橫生，意蘊悠長。
雷蒙，患有自閉症，與人溝通有障礙，卻在記憶和數字上有絕高的天賦。因為對於外面的世界十分陌生，他覺得危險無處不在，他的天性里保留著孩子般的純真，任性和固執，對於不願意做的事堅決拒絕。達斯汀•霍夫曼用精湛的演技演繹了雷蒙，他演繹的雷蒙，無論是走路的姿態，說話的神情，還是思考的方式都可愛至極，從他看似笨拙的動作和話語里，我們不僅僅是會心一笑，會看到更多的東西，關乎人性的善良和質朴，以及最坦誠的表達。大多數的正常人都會掩飾自己的喜怒哀樂，看場合說話和辦事，可是雷蒙不會，他不懂外界的規則，所以他可以肆無忌憚地表達自己的想法，用尖叫，用絮絮叨叨，用一切他掌握的獨特方法來「折磨」查理，以達到目的。查理對雷蒙的世界開始是陌生的，面對他一系列的要求，覺得頭疼和厭煩，但礙於那三百萬的遺產，查理並沒有輕易放棄，慢慢地適應和順從他，而當查理真正融入到他的生活規律中去時，查理最終理解和認同了他，並且從他奇怪的表達中找到了處理感情的方法。
雷蒙通常活在自己的小世界裡，他對那些簡單的問題習慣性回答我不知道，他無法回答的事情有那麼多，可是他卻知道愛，懂得去愛人，懂得被愛。雷蒙念念不忘小時候和父母，弟弟在一起的短暫時光，那一段是他記憶里最美好最柔軟的部分。直至如今，他仍然對燙傷弟弟的情景記憶猶新，並且覺得無比的自責，他不挺地念叨著：不能傷害查理。雷蒙的智力可能有缺陷，情感上卻一直保持著敏感和清醒，他不太清楚表達愛的方式，只是由心底的愛驅使，去做自己認為對的事情。事實上，他做的很好，簡單的表達卻直指內心。
而查理，在這段旅程中，其實是最大的贏家。在不斷適應雷蒙古怪的生活方式中，他學會了怎樣關心和呵護別人，理解了父親的做法，處理了工作的難題，也找回了愛情。所以當醫生用25萬打發他時，他拒絕了，他明白自己得到的已經足夠多了，而與雷蒙的手足情到了最後成了最珍貴的東西。有時候，我們需要離開一下，離開喧囂的生活，找一個簡單的人一起上路，一起體驗不同的生活，進而審視自己，獲得新鮮的認知。
最喜歡的兩段是查理教雷蒙跳舞和電梯里的那個吻，查理和蘇珊娜在與雷蒙的交往中都展現出了從未表現出的最耐心和柔軟的一面。當查理和雷蒙緩慢地邁著舞步在那片小舞台上來來回回時，外面的燈紅酒綠不再與他們有關，世界似乎寂靜下來，雷蒙的表情仍然是笨笨的，卻透著對愛的渴望，一支短短的舞就這樣感動了我們。而電梯里的那個吻，我想雷蒙品嘗到了潮濕的溫暖，他那前一刻失落的心靈得到了慰藉，他應該感受到了愛這樣的字眼。
最後一幕，雷蒙似乎強忍著淚水，踏進了火車。電影結束了，愛仍會延續下去。查理會愛著這個令他自豪的哥哥，雷蒙也將享受被愛的美好，他們都得到了自己那一杯最醇美的酒。
我們也許應當釋放天性里愛的能力，去認真地理解和關懷我們愛的人，平淡的人生會因為愛而變得精彩，因為對愛的探尋和需求而變得像一首詩。
