Synopsis

This film tells a story about Gilbert Grape. He is a grocery store worker who is burdened by his family's needs. He cares and provides for a intellectually disabled young adult brother and a morbidly obese mother. The Grape household has deteriorated since the suicide of their father and Gilbert bares the weight (no pun intended) of a struggling poor American family. In this tale, Gilbert has a string of risky affairs which complicates matters. This movie tells a more realistic version of the trials and tribulations of barely functioning family in the mid-west of America.

Description of Gilbert Grape:

The titular protagonist of the film, Gilbert is a 24-year-old grocery clerk. Following his father's suicide and his mother's spiral into depression, Gilbert supports his family both financially and emotionally. His main role is to care for Arnie, his developmentally delayed brother. Although Gilbert enjoys Arnie's company, he undoubtedly feels the burden his younger places on him—it is his responsibility to supervise and run after his brother when he gets into trouble. Gilbert has difficulty processing his intense emotions, and his behavior often becomes explosive.
