Rain Man:
"I just realized I'm not pissed off anymore.". When car dealer Charlie Babbitt (Tom Cruise) learns that his estranged father has died, he returns home to Cincinnati, where he discovers that he has an autistic older brother named Raymond (Dustin Hoffman) and that his father's $3 million fortune is being left to the mental institution in which Raymond lives. Motivated by his father's money, Charlie checks Raymond out of the facility in order to return with him to Los Angeles. The brothers' cross-country trip ends up changing both their lives.
With a simple idea, Rain Man stands out as a not so typical road movie. It tackles so many sensitive and important subjects and issues. The movie is very touching and truly is an emotional rollercoaster. That main reason for that is the outstanding performances by both lead actors. Tom cruise proves that hes not just a good looking action movie star as he becomes the character and evolves with it. Dustin Hoffman was able to pour all his emotions into this character. His performance is truly one of the best I've seen ever! All the details in this character were just on point.
The story is amazingly good; its very creative and so well developed. The script is really good and gives a lot of depth to the movie's characters. Even after 35 years of its release date, its still relevant and very entertaining. A classic, and it shall forever stay that way!
Score:9/10.
