A young, self-centered businessman, on the verge of bankruptcy, finds out, after his father's death, that he has an autistic brother who'll get entire inheritance. To gain half the money he thinks rightfully belongs to him, he "kidnaps" the brother from the sanatorium, but the time they'll spend together will change them both. This beautiful, emotional drama, with a touch of humor, deservedly took four Oscars (best picture, screenplay, director and male leading role), and Dustin Hoffman played probably the best role in his career. Even Tom Cruise, about whom I do not have a high opinion, bought with his performance, and especially the chemistry he has with Hoffman. One of those movies that is forever remembered.10/10

I think this movie is an excellent story of building an emotional connection between Charlie and his autistic brother. Despite their differences, yet are they able to love and understand each other the way no other than own brother could. The movie is funny and emotional. It will make you think about it even weeks after watching it. Its old, but gold. The more you think about it the better it getsI recommend!

Nearly 30 years ago, Rain Man came out and became a sleeper hit at the box office and won the Oscar for best picture. It was a game changer at the box office, with the movie dealing with autism, loneliness, and a getaway. Dustin Hoffman is great as the retarded character while Tom Cruise is his best friend. The cinematography is great, the soundtrack by Hans Zimmer (his first) amazing, and the acting is legendary. My dad grew up watching this movie on VHS and i finally watched it on bluray since i'm old enough to see this movie. It's not for kids since it's rated R.

This film is a family love story between brothers. Charlie, a dealer of luxury cars is not getting the results he wants. One day Charlie hears of his father's death. His father has left his family when Charlie has been 16years old and they have broken off their relations. Charlie goes to home to get estate, but he learns that Raymond, his elder brother and having autism inherits most estate. Charlie attempts to take Raymond from home, but he finds his brother's talent and reminds memories of his childhood. At first we might think that this movie's theme is money, because Charlie desires his father's estate and behaves inhumanly to get it. However, in the end of the movie we find this film shows us the strong bond of brothers. Charlie gets a chance to change himself by meeting Raymond again. So this is a road movie of Charlie.
