This was one of the toughest movie to me, I needed three breaks during this movie. Tom Cruise was playing very well, but I personally hated his character, Charlie Babbitt, the kind of guy who was full of arrogance, selfish and very materialistic. Although, the most incredible was Dustin Hoffman, who plaid the main character - Charlie's (Tom Cruise) older brother Raymond Babbit, an autistic. Incredible acting, this role was nominated and won so many World known awards, which one of them was Oscar winner for Best Actor in a Leading Role.
The movie "Rain Man" also received awards in those categories: Oscar for best Picture ( Mark Johnson), Best Director ( Barry Levinson), Best Writing/Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen (Ronald Bass-screenplay, Barry Morrow-screenplay/story), Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture, Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture (Dustin Hoffman)...
Tom Cruise had the huge responsibility to play a strong part in this movie beside the experienced Dustin Hoffman,whose the character was very sensitive and in need of his younger brother's (Tom Cruise) support. There are two controversial characters: Charlie a young ambitious man, very impulsive and also very egocentric person. Raymond, who was autistic, he wasn't used to strict behavior and changes in the routine of his life, even though with an amazing talent to memorize things that surround him.
It's a life story of Charlie Rabbit (Tom Cruise) whose father recently died and donated all his $3,000 000 to an autistic hospital, where Charlie discovered that he had an older brother (Dustin Hoffman) who was suffering from that illness. Charlie creates his selfish plan to get a part of this money back, kidnapping his brother, but it wouldn't be counted as a kidnap, because Charlie had the legal right from him. They are going into a journey an get to know each other.
What is the most important: money,that will never be enough, or family that could provide love and care?
Have a good time,
