Thank you Dustin & Tom, this is for The Movie Rain Man,” It’s never been done for unbelievably nailing what the families went go through on a daily basis. Our daughter will be 30yrs old on 5/4/23. It’s never done right, however, no one ever thought about what the parents go through. It was so perfect that only families who live with Autism can get what we go through. My husband and I saw it before we were married and had no children when Rain Man first came out. We both thought it was a really great movie. 15yrs later, our daughter was 18 we were laughing our asses off. You just can’t find the humor in it unless you have a child with Autism. My god, Dustin and Tom did it to a science. It’s as all families who have a loved one w/ autism wanted to thank all of you people who were involved in Rain Man. Parents are and/or family are never noticed how hard it is, the love we have for that child. We kept Christina, or daughter till she was 22yrs old. My husband & I were 54 then, and I was diagnosed with Atrial fibulation, w/ some other stress related things. Anyway, we have her home every single weekend and 5 nights and days for holidays. Always wanted to thank you for that moment on the train when Dustin says goodbye to Raymond, Tom, it showed the love a family member feels. So again a HUGH thank you!!!! It’s now 11/6/22 🙏🏽 we don’t loose our democracy. Are daughter has been saying since 2016 “Trump is a very bad man.” She is so smart. We still call her our little princess. Sorry for making your eyes and ears bleed. Again thk you!!!

When a great discusses a film they have been in and tell you such details as Dustin has in this film, it is magic. I never truly appreciated this film, probably because I was way too young at the time. After seeing this interview I am going to to watch it entirely from beginning to end.

There was a Sequel to the Graduate. It was called- HomeSchooled or maybe Homeschooling. I don'r think there was every a Movie Sequel to the Graduate at least as I write this (11/02/2018) , but Charles Webb wrote the Novel- The Graduate which was the Basis (really entire script) for the Movie wrote a Novel called HomeSchool (or maybe Homeschooling). IN that novel, Ben and Elaine are Married and living in Westchester with their 2 Sons whom they have been Homeschooling.. The local Westchester Board of Education gives them a hard time about homeschooling their kids so they call upon Elaine's Mother- aka Mrs. Robinson (known in the NOVEL AS Nana) I won't give away any ore of the Novell. I don't think it was good as the Origianal, but it was still good to see a Sequel to The Graduate.

Women grope men often lol. They check you out, laugh about you, ogle you, feel your arms, pat you on the butt ... I got stopped by two female cops while jogging without a shirt on. They had no reason to stop me, they just wanted to check out some meat and laughed about it. But that's ok because they're women and they're, you know, special, high up on a pedestal where we place them ... the mother of the species. Men on the other hand are consigned to being the 9 to 5 workhorse, we die earlier, are sacrificed in wars, lose our property in divorce settlements, are considered second in importance to the mother in the family structure and generally are considered the #2 parent by comparison. Women are revered, men aren't. So I think they can put up with a pinch on the arse or two, it won't kill them and may loosen them up! Good for you Dustin, nobody should take that kind of thing seriously even if the feminists are moaning about it - christ they're always moaning about something.

Its important to separate his craft skills from personal behavior. All that was needed at the time of the allegation of sexual harassment was for Dusty to say, “We need to reevaluate whats said in between takes” to begin the self reflection needed in this era. Oliver said such truth when he remarked that one groups acceptable banter can create another group (paraphrase). What strikes me, offends me, is 1)other women that came forward since 2) his complete lack of self examination, empathy, or compassion 3) His vanity, physical obsession! His first remark of coworker “Shes beautiful”; Describing Nichols flirting w/her, .”Hes hitting on her”; “I cant blame him”. Women arent going to accept being treated as a piece of meat any longer! Sad his first remark had nothing to do with her skills, her work, his wanting to work with her, nothing on a professional level. Sorry but the combined behaviors represent the wrongs which our society must redress if we are to ever gain sexual equality. Women have called him a pig, I might too.Sorry Dusty’s f**d up where sexual interactions on a professional level are concerned.
