I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Purely Joyful Movie!

Overrated

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

This movie starts with charlie Babbitt (Tom Cruise) discovering that his father has died. Charlie and his father haven't spoken in years and he is emotionless about the funeral. Expecting to inherit his fathers wealthy estate, he is shocked to learn he is only getting the Buick convertible that was the reason for them falling out, and 3 million dollars is going in to a trust fund for an unknown trustee. Charlie angered at this decides to find out who it is and he does. He makes a visit to Wall brook where he discovers Raymond (Dustin Hoffman) an autistic man a lot older than charlie, who turns out to be his brother. Shocked and confused charlie at first wonders why was he kept a secret, but that quickly turns to greed as he decides to kidnap Raymond and hold him ransom for his share of the 3 million because as charlie puts it Raymond has no concept of money. Along the way charlie realises something he has missed and that money can't replace family.Tom cruise brilliantly portrays Charlie Babbitt a character who is filled with anger, greed, selfishness and yet he also turns the character slowly around as all those emotions slowly fade away as he discovers he's a brother and though the youngest he feels protective of Raymond, charlie is at first is annoyed that Raymond needs to do things at a certain time, then defends him when others don't understand. Dustin Hoffman is exceptional as Raymond compelling and sweet who doesn't understand he's been kidnapped. The realtionship of Raymond and Charlie is what makes the film work.Valeria Golino plays charlies girlfriend susanna, she brings a real sense of grounded truth to charlie even leaving him at one point out of disgust for his attititude early on towards his brother. Though she returns toward the end sharing a sweet moment with Raymond in the lift. I highly recommend.

After all these years, Rain Man is compellingly watchable, and refreshingly well acted and written. The character of Charlie Babbitt is complex and deeply fascinating - a generally decent, loving guy buried with anger, a need to prove himself, and a reservoir of resentment from feeling unloved. He's an archetype for the Fight Club generation, and played to absolute perfection by Tom Cruise in what is surely his best role. I can't think of a modern young actor who could play this role as well as he does - Cumberbatch, Matthew Goode, Gosling, Reynolds - they just don't have that same fiery intensity and nuance. You can see Cruise thinking while someone else is talking. I actually didn't care too much for Hoffman's performance, its a tough one but more of a caricature once he's in that zone (a bit like Franco impersonating Tommy Wiseau). Anyway, back to the film. Generally brilliant, some excellent scenes, and a really classy opening. I feel it becomes a bit incongruent towards the end though. First Charlie exploits Raymond's skill at the casino, making back the money he needs (this is supposed to be a happy solution for Charlie, despite being against the film's supposed moral backbone). Valerie Golino then basically goes completely against her strong morals by somehow making her way to Vegas and finding Charlie again, just because she's out of a job. What was she hoping for? The one guy who's selfishness and neglect just lost her a job.. and she goes right back to him. Then, she sexually assaults ol' Raymond in an elevator. Then they let him DRIVE A CAR out in public, lolling as he crashes over curbs. This is all just before Charlie has his little discussion with the care home manager, where he doesn't listen AT ALL to what the guy is saying and is being more flippant and obtuse than he has been throughout the whole film. Its a strange unravelling of what the set up had promised, and I felt it could have been written so much better. It just felt rushed (and directed without any finesse).

the movie is full of yelling.. all the time Tom cruise was arguing with his brother and that mad man repeating an old unfunny joke "who was on first base." WTF!! i just wonder how people could handle to watch 2 hours of tow brothers fighting and arguing and one of them so mean that he was keeping offend his lame brother.

This film is a family love story between brothers. Charlie, a dealer of luxury cars is not getting the results he wants. One day Charlie hears of his father's death. His father has left his family when Charlie has been 16years old and they have broken off their relations. Charlie goes to home to get estate, but he learns that Raymond, his elder brother and having autism inherits most estate. Charlie attempts to take Raymond from home, but he finds his brother's talent and reminds memories of his childhood. At first we might think that this movie's theme is money, because Charlie desires his father's estate and behaves inhumanly to get it. However, in the end of the movie we find this film shows us the strong bond of brothers. Charlie gets a chance to change himself by meeting Raymond again. So this is a road movie of Charlie.
