Rain Man is the kind of touching drama that Oscars are made for--and, sure enough, the film took Academy honours for best picture, director, screenplay, and actor (Dustin Hoffman) in 1988. Hoffman plays Raymond, an autistic savant whose late father has left him $3 million in a trust. This gets the attention of his materialistic younger brother, a hot-shot LA car dealer named Charlie (Tom Cruise) who wasn't even aware of Raymond's existence until he read his estranged father's will. Charlie picks up Raymond and takes him on a cross-country journey that becomes a voyage of discovery for Charlie, and, perhaps, for Raymond, too. Rain Man will either captivate you or irritate you (Raymond's sputtering of repetitious phrases is enough to drive anyone crazy), but it is obviously a labour of love for those involved. Hoffman had been attached to the film for many years, as various directors and writers came and went, but his persistence eventually paid off--kind of like Raymond in Las Vegas. Look for director Barry Levinson in a cameo as a psychiatrist near the end of the film. --Jim Emerson

Format:Blu-ray
Dustin hoffman...One of the finest actors.. Plays the endearing ,Autistic , Raymond(Rain man) convincingly. Supporting him admirably is a young Tom Cruise who plays his brother & has put up a very good performance.. Very well directed ..& an excellent script.. the rain man is one of the finest movies you could see. But once again , I have to mention Dustin Hoffman (Papillon,Tootsie), a power house of talent who towers above all with a superlative, oscar winning performance of an Autistic person with special abilities. A must see move & a must buy Blu ray as the sound and the picture quality are top class! And not to miss the extras.. especially the one about real life autistic people with artistic / special abilities. So go on then.. buy & enjoy watching!!!
