Rain Man was absolutley a tear jerker. And I mean that in a very good way because the film delt with certain issues and there were scenes where a person would just want to drop to the ground crying their eyes out. It was truly a wonderful film to watch.
Car financer Charlie Babbit (Tom Cruise) has just found out that his father Sanford has just died and has left some things behind. First, he has left Charlie a classic car, but what Charlie is unaware of is that Sanford has just inhereted $1 million to Charlie's autistic brother Raymond (Dustin Hoffman) who has been held in a mental institution in Cincinatti, Ohio. Charlie travels to Ohio to meet his long lost brother and plans to get the money he feels he deserves. What happens is, Charlie kidnapps Raymond from the institution and they hit the road to Los Angeles. Charlie's plan is to keep Raymond until Charlie gets the $1 million. But along the way, Charlie turns from a greedy, selfish loser, into a caring person because he becomes close to Raymond and really develops a close bond with him. Their trip becomes the time of anyone's life.
I must say that Dustin Hoffman delivered a real nice performance as Raymond and for sure deserved the Oscar that he won for the film. Tom Cruise did very well also.
Rain Man is a movie for ages 14 and up and will teach you the beauty of having someone to look up to and love.
