Rain Man

Raymond (Rain Man) is the older autistic-savant brother of character Charlie Babbitt . The character of Raymond is inspired from the real life savant, Kim Peek.

When Charlie was too young to speak clearly, he couldn't pronounce Raymond but call out Rain Man instead.It was Raymond who sang to Charlie, but when Raymond burnt Charlie with hot bathing water their father decided to send Raymond to Wallbrook.


"Raymond has a problem communicating and learning. He can't even express himself or probably even understand his own emotions in a traditional way. There are dangers everywhere for Raymond. Routines, rituals are all he has to protect himself. [...] Well, it's the way he acts, sleeps, eats, uses the bathroom, walks, talks, everything. Any break from that routine is terrifying. [...] He doesn't understand the concept of money."



This genius who could solve most complicated calculation problems and memorize entire phone directories, was being left to stay in a psychiatric Institution for 20 years. It is only after when Charlie got him out of the Institution he was able to see the new world.

He had a very stringent routine. His bedtime is at 11pm sharp.
He is obsessed with few habits. Pancakes being placed on the table before the maple syrup is one of them. He gives a definite NO for travelling in the airplane and can do whatever it takes to stop you from making him believe otherwise. (Be it panicking)

A very kind hearted Rain Man is forced to go back to Wallbrook for his custody still belongs to that place.
But over his journey with Charlie, both the siblings come emotionally closer to each other.

Here is a short video of this character:

Million Dollar Maggie

Maggie, a 31 year old  waitress, shows up in the gym Hit Pit to convince Frankie Dunn (a boxing trainer) to train her.

 The question is, why in the first place she wants to do that?
She is from a poor, lower class family but she has a great dream of making something of herself, and provide her family with all the comforts they never had.
Maggie is determined to her best, this is evident from the fact that in-spite of denying for training by Frankie she is back to the gym with all her enthusiasm and hopes.
She inspires the audience in many ways. The fact that her age doesn't matter (even after being 31) is just superb to see. The believe Maggie had in her BOSS, is the same what a child has for his father.

Now when she is nurtured by Frankie, she hit the spot in the very first time. She knocked out each and every contender who came in her way, except for the one who punched her even when the bell was called. And the slap of the fate was so hard that her neck was broken, leaving her a quadriplegic.

These are the lines which will explain what she was feeling at that time-
"i cannot be like this Frankie. Not after what I have done. I have seen the world. They chanted my name....... Don't let me lie here till I can't hear those people chanting no more"

Just after telling her the meaning of name he gave her, Fankie freed her from the infinite pain by giving a fatal injection of adrenaline.

The name was  Mo Chuisle (spelled incorrectly in the film as "mo cuishle"): "my darling, and my blood"

P.S.

I saw this movie only because of Hillary's acting. She received many awards (Best Actress) for her performance as Maggie Fitzgerald

John Blake.

John Blake.? Who is he.? Why is he important.? Read on to know more...

John Blake, who spent his childhood days in an orphanage, serves the country by becoming a policeman.

He was portrayed as a dedicated and instinct-full policeman. He idolized Batman, and deduced that Bruce Wayne was only the Batman when he saw the similar attempt at hiding his anger when the billionaire visited the orphanage.
 Blake represents the idealism that once Commissioner Gordon and Batman held, but soon lost in their battle against crime in the city. Blake was promoted to a detective position.
He was that man who believed everything will come right in its way in the end. He had a belief in Batman and his senior, Commissioner Gordon. Although his idol disappoint him in the midway, but Jake understood the circumstances in which Gordon has to take those decisions. He sticks to the plan till the end and did what best could he do from his own strength.

Everything is fine till here.?
But why a policeman (suddenly a new character) given so much importance in the Batman series?

This is because John's full name is Robin John Blake. "ROBIN"

Now he is left with all the Batman gadgets, and audience is left with expectations about a new series

Batman- The End is here

Batman is old now. It has been eight years since he had fought Joker and killed Harvey Dent. He is retired now.Bruce Wayne is stripped off his greatest superpower, his money. Now what will  he do if he has to fight a young, superbly motivated mobster?

 So when this Bane starts creating Havoc, Batman gives a come back and tries his best to stop him. But Batman is off league now. He needs to do his research work, get more agile, act like a real Batman.

But yes, he Rises. He rises after he falls one time and is determined this time to hit back with full force. Batman stands for a belief. He cannot leave his city when they need him. Be it insolvency, be it the loss of his lover, be is under-performance, you can hit Bruce Wayne for what he has (or does not have), but not Batman.
He saves the world from a great explosion, beats the hell of his enemies, and is dead (even Bruce Wayne) in the eyes of his fans
But, leaves them with hope.


P.S.
Dead only in the eyes of his fans ;)

Nagma Khatoon- Gang of Wasseypur

Nagma Khatoon, Sardar Khan's first wife and a very outspoken Woman, who allowed her husband to enter into the house of ill repute. But when she came to know that Sardar actually did went there, she changed her mind and chased him with the stick in her hand. She continues to stay with him because of the family honour. She was sweet at some moment, she could be a firebrand who doesn't shy away from the ugliest of the ugly street slang, and she could be stubborn like anything.

 Her nature is shown best in these particular scenes :
1. When she chases him (as mentioned above)
2. When she teaches her son how to act in front of a policeman
3. When she beats his son for taking money from Ramadhir Singh
4. At the time when Sardar and his elder son were talking business and she was doing domestic cleaning
