    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      For in-flight viewing, several airlines deleted the sequence in which Raymond Babbitt reels off statistics on airline accidents, except Qantas. They even promoted one of the movie's writers to first class once when he travelled on their airline.
    • Goofs
      Throughout the movie, several cars are seen tailgating the Buick trying to get into the shot, and their positions vary from scene to scene.
    • Quotes

      Charlie: Who took this picture?

      Raymond: D-A-D.

      Charlie: And you lived with us?

      Raymond: Yeah, 10962 Beachcrest Street, Cincinnati, Ohio.

      Charlie: When did you leave?

      Raymond: January 12, 1965. Very snowy that day. 7.2 inches of snow that day.

      Charlie: Just after Mom died.

      Raymond: Yeah Mom died January 5, 1965.

      Charlie: You remember that day. Was I there? Where was I?

      Raymond: You were in the window. You waved to me, "Bye bye Rain Man", "Bye bye."

    • Crazy credits
      Throughout the movie, Raymond is taking pictures. The pictures that he takes are shown as the background for the credits.
    • Alternate versions
      Most airline versions of the film completely cut out the discussion of crash statistics. The reference to Qantas being the only international airline to have a perfect service record was deleted from the in-flight version of the movie by all international airlines except for Qantas.

    One of my all-time faves; Levinson's masterpiece; superlative Hoffman & Cruise
    RAIN MAN (1988) **** Dustin Hoffman, Tom Cruise, Valeria Golina, Bonnie Hunt. My all time favorite contemporary film.

    Brilliant Oscar-winning Best Picture film about quick-tempered exotic car salesman Charlie Babbitt (superlatively played by Cruise) who finds himself bilked out of his estranged father's inheritance and discovering an older brother, Raymond, (Hoffman flawlessly brilliant, Best Actor), an institutionalized autistic savant, and 'kidnaps' him in their dad's Buick Roadmaster for a cross-country odyssey of self-reflection and genuine sibling bonding. Poignant, funny, and moving character study with expert direction by Barry Levinson (Best Director and appears as a mental health envoy). Ethereally Oscar nominated haunting score by Hans Zimmer. Best scene: Cruise learning why Hoffman was "sent away." Life-affirming.
