When the audience first meets Charlie Babbitt (Tom Cruise), he is wheeling and dealing through a financial crisis that threatens to destroy his classic car business She tries to help her still-loving girlfriend Susan (Valeria Golino), but Charlie emotionally rejects her. One day, he discovers that his alien father is dead, but Charlie is left to his own devices. Believing this to be wrong, Charlie travels to the East Coast to claim his inheritance and find out why he didn’t get the full $3 million in his inheritance.
After sleeping around the lion, Charlie discovers that a large amount of money is in a trust fund for a man named Raymond Babbitt (Dustin Hoffman). Raymond is the autistic older brother that Charlie never knew he had, and the money is deposited in a trust to pay for the group home Raymond lives in. that Charlie is still angry. In a moment of weakness, Charlie stole Raymond to live with him in California. Raymond won’t fly because he’s afraid of crashing, so Charlie is a classiccar. As part of his heritage, he begins a trip across the country without any ambiguity, incidents in restaurants, and even a trip to Las Vegas.
Charlie doesn’t understand how autism works and he doesn’t realize how much Raymond’s training means to him. When that routine is disturbed, Raymond starts hitting himself and screaming, something that Charlie just can’t understand. The lack of communication frustrates the whole situation, until Charlie lets his guard down and begins to develop a real emotional bond with his brother. When ego and anger are separated, things begin to improve dramatically, to the point where the audience sees that Charlie and Raymond can live together. Charlie must overcome difficulties from his ongoing financial situation and the fact that he committed a crime across state lines by capturing his brother. He does not skimp on the writing about these things, but treats them with the seriousness they demand. The result is a stream of movies about two people who, for very different reasons, are emotionally attached. Raymond can’t change, but he only brings massive amounts of change to Charlie’s life with his rigid, self-driven routine.
When “Rain Man” was released in the late 1980s, Cruise was at the height of his popularity as an actor. There wasn’t a film he couldn’t carry his charisma, and audiences responded by flocking to the film. The idea of a flashy costar seemed impossible to him, but that’s exactly what Hoffman does as Raymond. Hoffman earned an Oscar for the part that required him to walk with his head tilted and a limping gait that helped sell the part. His ability to delve deeply into the mind of an adult with autism shocked him and his inability to communicate results in an effect that still lasts for two decades. In fact, the entire film holds up well and is not in the excess that characterized so many films in the 1980s.
Director Levinson manages to bring a film to the big screen that is centered on a man who is in emotional development and was somehow unable to He did the work. For that success, the Oscar is well deserved. He delivered fantastic performances from the entire cast, including Cruise, who seemed happy to draw a bow on Hoffman, making the “Imman” man all the better for his sacrifice. Golino gave an excellent performance to the weary Susanna, who shares a uniquely touching and tender moment with Raymond, which is one of the highlights of the film.
Screenwriters Ronald Bass and Barry Morrow took home Oscars for the script, which involved a lot of research. They took on the issue of autism, which was largely unknown at the time, and treated it with dignity and respect. They wrote Raymond as a very likable, complex character that audience members could root for. Bass, Morrow, and Hoffman helped put an actual face on autism, even if that face was fake. Public awareness of the film was created as icing on the cake, because “Rain Man” is already a fantastic film. without which.
