    Storyline

    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.

    My favorite
    I have seen this movie probably 7 or 8 times in the past three years, wrote a paper about it for my college film class last semester, and basically regard it as my favorite movie of all time. Where to begin with the praise for this movie? Let's start with the acting. Dustin Hoffman is my favorite actor, and has been for a while. I'd watch him in any role. I was amazed at the way he was able to pull off this role. I've never seen a more deserved Oscar win. The vacant stare, the monotone voice, the screaming, it was unbelievable. Each time I watch it I am floored by his talent. Tom Cruise is also good, the villain of the story who undergoes such a subtle change that it's almost not visible until nearly the end. He is, however, perfectly suited for the flashy, egotistical character of Charlie, and I think he did a great job. The directing was unobtrusive and beautiful, for the most part just letting the action unfold, which is exactly the way it should have been done. It's a feel-good movie that does that and more, and I think nothing I've seen in the movies is as touching as the scene in the motel where Charlie discovers who "Rain Man" really is. I give this movie a 9.5 out of 10. Absolutely wonderful.
