K-Mart Sucks

 

Dustin Hoffman / Tom Cruise


Is Charlie (played by Tom Cruise) a dynamic character or a static character?

Dynamic: changes by the end of the movie

Static: does not change or learn anything

The theme of the movie is autism: learning disability or rather a problem dealing with social issues. Social situations / society confuses autistic people.

Picaresque is a genre where the protagonist (hero) must travel. Usually, the trip is to escape. It is not planned a planned trip. The protagonist (hero) usually does not have much money and meets lots of adventures along the way.

Look at what Charlie is holding. It is medicine for his bad stomach, because he has a nervous and angry personality.

K-Mart sells cheap, low-quality things like Wallmart. A lot of what you buy breaks quickly and is not a brand name.

Raymond thinks “Who’s on first?”  1B from baseball.

Actually, Who is the last name (surname) of the player playing first base (1B).

For example, John Who is playing first base.

He does not understand jokes.

That is a jukebox. We put coins into the jukebox and will play the songs we choose.

Pawn Shop: give the store something valuable and they lend you money. To get the valuable thing back, you have to pay more money

Prostitute: hooker (sells her body for sex)
