A timeless story of brotherly love
What happens when you mix two lives - one full of fast paced action, risky business and even selfishness and another filled with serenity, simplicity and routine?
Charlie Babbit (Tom Cruise) learns of the death of his father, whom he has long ago estranged from. Through interesting twists Charlie also finds out he has an autistic older brother Raymond, who inherits most of his fathers estate.
This is the setting and the starting point for a road trip across the US and a moment of personal growth for the brothers. Slowly the true golden character of Charlie underneath his cold surface is revealed and Raymond learns to experience things beyond his routines.
A touching story of brotherhood and of perseverance. Completely deserves the Academy Awards granted to it.
