Review of Rain Man (1988) by Subat B — 07 Aug 2011
Rain Man is about two brothers, and their new, forming relationship, learning to live with and love each other, and making that understanding that only brothers have.
Dustin Hoffman as Raymond Babbitt gives without doubt one of his finest performances. The standard he set with Rain Man is one that is difficult to beat - he was extremely impressive as an autistic man. The way he walked, talked, even his eye movement and facial expressions, were all perfect. I was bowled over by his talent, and found him to be extremely believable as Raymond. Tom Cruise was also very good as the thoughtless, cynical, and arrogant Charlie Babbitt.
Overrall, this is a poignant, powerful view of the human spirit. Rain Man is a rare gem, and one which cannot be forgotten.
