Reviews
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
bondguy77 dustin Hoffman's performance in this film is amazing as he plays along side tom cruise in this wonderful movie from the late 80s making it a classic iconic film that doesn't disappoint or disinterest viewers from the screen until the very end,this is one of the best if not the best drama film i have ever seen ,two thumbs up.
ericventura I have to trust Michael Caine on his opinion of Tom Cruise in Rain Man, describing the subtlety and intricacy that Cruise depicted accurately in his role of a brother kindling a relationship with his estranged brother. Cruise deserved the Oscar, but I love Hoffman's performance all the same.In the end, Rain Man is simple perfection. The realism and beauty in the screenplay is amazing. To portray a subtly developing relationship between brothers who have not known each other with such incredible emotion, is a feat that will rarely or never be achieved again. Silence of the Lambs (1991) depicted a perverted relationship between a psychopath and a scared detective, The Godfather (1972) depicted the violent relationships of a mafia family, and Chinatown (1974) depicted the twisted relationships of a screwed-up family, but Rain Man achieved described the brotherly relationship with universal truth and raw emotion. Rarely seen perfection makes an instant classic, but two of the greatest performances of the late century by Cruise and Hoffman only accentuate the relationship. Valeria Galino delivers a fine-tuned performance as the oddly erotic girlfriend who drives the brothers forward in an intensely interesting fashion.There's not much else to say except that the "my main man" scene is done with chilling perfection. The raw emotion gave me the chills and put me on the verge of tears. To evoke such emotion in the characters and the viewers is a monumental task. If any film did it right, this one did.
justin-fencsak Nearly 30 years ago, Rain Man came out and became a sleeper hit at the box office and won the Oscar for best picture. It was a game changer at the box office, with the movie dealing with autism, loneliness, and a getaway. Dustin Hoffman is great as the retarded character while Tom Cruise is his best friend. The cinematography is great, the soundtrack by Hans Zimmer (his first) amazing, and the acting is legendary. My dad grew up watching this movie on VHS and i finally watched it on bluray since i'm old enough to see this movie. It's not for kids since it's rated R.
Amir Ghorbani I think this movie showed that humans can have peculiar understandings, and implicitly proved that we can make everything real! because what is real?? like other good movies it doesn't stand in our mind and slides to our heart to make sense ! it stimulated the willing for power in the spectators!
