However it was kind of a two edge sword. While this movie did bring a lot of awareness about autism it showcased only 1 very special kind of autism, autistic savant. This lead many people to think that everyone with autism was also very gifted. It took a long time for people to grasp that there is an entire spectrum including those on the non verbal part of the spectrum.

I dated a girl in my early 20's and her 29 year old brother had autism. At the time, around 2003, this movie was really the only movie or experience to know what it was. Her brother was so damn similar to Raymond's in this movie. I loved that guy. He was so sweet and kind. I have a tattoo of a skull on my right shoulder so he always called me Skeletor from He-Man, one of his favorite cartoons. When she and I eventually broke up after I found out she'd been cheating on me, we were together for 3 years, her mother and sister called me because he was distressed that Skeletor wasn't around anymore. They asked me, without my ex's knowledge to come and see him and attempt to explain that I wouldn't be around anymore. That end scene with Charlie and Ray is so damn emotional to me. Obviously I didn't give any details about the break up but I just explained to him I wouldn't be around anymore to play video games with him anymore. That was our thing, playing fighting games, and damn was he good. He was so sad, He always beat me about 80% of the time in any game we played. Toward the end of our goodbye he said something I'll never forget, "If I let you win more will you stay?" My heart was already broken from his sister and it broke again when he said that. Uggh. Still tears me up just thinking about it.

I tried teaching for a couple of years about 12 years ago. I consider my best success was taking over a high school physics class 2nd quarter. There was an autistic boy in the class and the previous teacher had given him a 0 for the 1st quarter. I worked with the special ed teacher assigned to the class and we got him up to a B for the last 3 quarters. I will never forget attending a meeting with other staff and his parents. His parents told me that he talked about me at home and I was his favorite teacher. When we first met, he was walking in circles in the front of the classroom. I went up to him and told him he could follow any routine he wanted, but had to sit down when the bell rang. He was a pleasure to work with and I will never forget him or how special he was.

If in 1980 almost all doctors had never heard of it, do you think the condition is on the rise? Because if folks had seen it to much extent before that, then it would be more known that 1 percent, even if by a different name.

@stanleymyrick4068 There's no objective test for Autism, & it was relatively unknown so was probably under-diagnosed & identified as mental retardation or insanity, before "Rainman" was released. After "Rainman", it became a fashionable diagnosis, so it was grossly over-diagnosed. If someone identifies as "autistic", it means, that they aren't autisic. The one exception is a lady named Temple Grandin, & she is the exception who proves the rule. Doctors don't want to tell parents, that their socially awkward kid is a nerd who will either grow out of it or need charm school, so instead nowadays, they tell them, that their kid is autistic, since it's fashionable & will feed the Autism Industrial Complex that's sprouted up in the years since "Rain Man". If there is an increase in actual autism, it's because in modern times, socially awkward people or people with peculiar talents which don't necessarily manifest in obvious ways, have more chances to meet, get married, & have kids together, so their kids may get a double dose of socially awkward or peculier which puts them way out of spec. Just a guess, but I do think, that they are born that way.

I rewatched this recently and also choked up at that scene where Raymond touches heads with him. Rain Man and Main Man. Also notice Raymond glances into Charlie’s eyes a little bit more as the movie goes on. Really subtle changes. Both amazing performances. I had a lot of thoughts... - Charlie would have been a better person with his big brother but Raymond also would have been in a better state if he had his little brother. He’s so high functioning and their dad was rich, he didn’t need to be put in an institution. Those were foolish ways of thinking that this movie spotlights. - When you asked if Charlie feels no emotion or if he just pushes it down deep, that’s the same question everyone had for Raymond. Even the doctors thought he didn’t feel normal human emotions. But Charlie found out otherwise. He just expressed differently. Like the way Charlie went quiet when driving and Susanna tried to get him to emote, he's more like his brother than he knows. - Charlie is a tough character to root for, but looking at his childhood, no mom, dad was so cold he shipped Raymond away. Charlie lost his rain man, his protector. And Raymond beat himself up (literally) for accidentally burning the baby and kept saying he’d never hurt Charlie Babbitt. Carrying that guilt. It was all unnecessary. - I wish we had more movies that are like novels where you can walk away and have so much to analyze. Like how you’d go to English class after reading a book and spend a week discussing all of the themes. It's becoming a lost art.

The idea of Raymond being sent away and Charlie never even knowing about him, and forgetting what he did know, is the most contrived part of the screenplay. They just had to do that so the premise of Charlie learning about autism from his brother for the first time could be put into place. But that's not particularly believable. I'm not sure they were saying that his dad was cold. I think they might've indicated that his dad visited Raymond in the institution. They also had to build in the fact that Charlie left home at 16 so that he wouldn't know if his dad had a relationship with Raymond in the intervening years. This is all part of the contrivance that had to be laid out in the premise to make the main story possible.

Many don't know but this is based on a true person. And Raymond was raised by his father and had him by his side 24 7 his whole life. And he was less functioning and even more brilliant. He can read a book in minutes by reading each page with each eye and aborsorbs pver 90 percent ans never forgets. While brut math and calculus isn't his thing his memory of what he reads and hears is unmatched. He really did memorize zip codes,calanders, and history. If you give him your birthday he can tell you what day I f the week you were born and more! He has all the presidents and European royalty down to science and can name everything. In a simple way he relates everything to music and other things and can remember litterly everything. Google real life rain man to read more. What an amazing man!

I first saw this film in my Psychology class on HS. Fresh on video in 89’. Fast forward years later and I have a son non verbal who has autism. The film always affects me different ways different scenes. I think back to the first viewing and how naive I was not knowing of what autism was or my unborn son’s fate.Dustin nails it. Hits so close to home.

You would love, What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Leonardo DiCaprio plays a special needs kid and I thought they really cast a special needs kid for the role. It was one of his earlier films and the first one I saw him in. Johnny Depp plays his older brother. It's a simple story about a struggling family but it's really good and the acting is amazing.

When the pastor asked Berea what she wanted, Berea replied *"Paint me like one of your French girls, Jack?"* and tried batting her eyes.

I've been working with autistic children and adults for nearly 20 years now in the state of NY on Long Island, and I have to say Dustin Hoffman did a great job at portraying an autistic adult. Some of the individuals I have worked with and/or currently work with have a great memory. One of my current adult students remembered the name of my old cat that I told her about once or twice, probably about 20 years ago when she was a child when I mentioned it to her, and all these years later she still remembered. It may not sound like much, but for an autistic person that's a pretty impressive memory! 💙

Kim Peek was the real life person who inspired Rain Man. I watched a bio on him a while ago.. very fascinating. He absolutely memorized the Bible and the phone book, when he was 3. He consumed massive amounts of information, able to site any baseball or sports statistic from memory. He read with each eye independently, and could read a book spending only a few seconds each page, with over 95% recall. People would tell them their birthday, and instantaneously he’d tell them the day of the week they were born, and the day of the week they would turn 80. Definitely worth checking KZfaq for a good biography on him. I think it was “Kim Peek - The Real Rain Man”

@@jackprescott9652 His Wikipedia page says they determined Kim Peek more likely has FG Syndrome, and not autism, in 2008. My impression of his condition is that he is unlocking abilities of the brain that normally our brains suppress. Our mind doesn't want us absorbing and memorizing every possible detail that we come across. It has "filters" on it so that we can reduce the "noise" and focus on the things that are truly important to remember. So it seems like Kim Peek's condition meant he was missing those filters.

Our son and daughter-in-law are such good parents. Because of Avi's autism, our whole family is better. Our son became a licensed clinical therapist who treats autistic children and their parents. I first learned of autism in 1971, when a four year old named Charlie was in our ward at church. He had an older brother and parents who adored him too.

This movie is somewhat of a landmark for me. My 16-year-old has autism. Before his birth, I found this movie to have a lot of funny parts. His mother and I were able to enjoy it. During the time of his diagnosis and many years afterwards the movie just wasn’t funny anymore. But the day came where we were able to enjoy the movie again. Both empathizing and being able to find humor. During the season where he was diagnosed, and the many years of therapy afterwords were a terrifying and disempowering experience. But now I cannot imagine him any other way. Today he’s just Luke.

Cassie, I hope you see this message. My son is non-verbal (he is 13) and his condition used to be misdiagnosed as autism, cerebral palsy, or both. A couple decades ago, they discovered that many of them have a genetic disorder that is now called Angelman Syndrome. Many professionals are still unaware about it. Colin Ferrell's son has it too, and Colin is one of the biggest spokespeople for our community. I mention this because there are still many cases out there that have not been properly diagnosed. Many of the stories you described about your sister are similar to my son. I don't know your family's exact situation, but just from the description and the photos, it sounds similar to angelman syndrome. I teared up quite a bit hearing you talk about your sister, and yes, it is rough, but as you said, they make you better people. Thank you for sharing.

I was myself diagnosed as autistic back in 2014, aged thirty-four. It was only after, whereby, I subsequently heard about this movie. Immediately intrigued to see it, I hastened to purchase it on dvd. The very first time I watched Rain Man *myself* - I cried and cried, just like your *own* emotions in your video here. My little world suddenly had opened up, and I was mesmerized by Raymond - I related to him so much - I'm sensory hypersensitive, reliant upon my routines (same meal every Monday, same meal every Tues etc), don't travel on public transport by myself well (I'm okay with friends if they decide on the travel arrangements)... I have obsessive attention to detail, I often take things literally (eg. don't walk), I hate people transgressing against others, and so on. I thought Dustin Hoffman's portrayal of Ray was just nigh on faultless, imho. This very quickly became one of my all-time fave movies, one I could watch over and over. Viewing your end review here, I was emotional *with* you - just observing how powerfully the movie impacted upon you with recollecting your own personal experiences (regarding your sister). I'm personally, genuinely, pleased for you in committing to watching this amazing movie...! PS, on the dvd extras, there's a very insightful little interview with Hoffman whereby he expressed how challenging a role it was, having to research his character's attributes and skills sets in such fine detail, in order to accept the part...

The ability that young siblings have to put the needs of their autistic brother or sister, above their own, blows me away. Everytime. Siblings go through so much and are quite often the ones who are left with a lack of attention from tired parents, guilt that they are able to enjoy life in a different way and the responsibility of caring for another human being in such an emotionally demanding role. Hats off to you siblings...Much love.

There's not many things that he says now, that we don't understand. It's been a lot of work, on all of our parts because he had to learn to communicate and we had to learn how to approach him. Not being able to communicate was frustrating for him and us. There wasn't much info out there back in the 80s about autism.

There are days when he gets so frustrated trying to communicate with us or times when he is in pain and can't tell us what hurts, that he screams and bangs his head like Dustin Hoffman when the fire alarm was going off. But there are other times when he comes up and wants hugs and kisses and is so happy just because you are there.

I don't think words can address how impactful it was to watch this movie with you and seeing it through your eyes, and get a real sense of how Haley's spirit and reality impacts you ---- i feel like we've done more than watched a movie with you. Heck, i had seen this before!! and the last thing i expected was to have the core of my being wrenched in a pure way. It's hard to describe, but like Rain man, Raymond - like a hug when you can't stand being touched. It's like a little bit of pain, but seems then your heart just grows bigger. Thank you, Kathy. Thank you. 😔

That's an all timer for his career, but for me, Magnolia is his best performance by a country mile.

What i really love about that movie and most people dont realize it is the end and that people with special needs have a much bigger impact on who are part of their lives than the other way around. I have a lot of work related expierence with that and it is very beautiful shown in this movie (as in is "I am Sam") how Charlies life and personality is completely effected by this encounter.

I once read that Dustin Hoffman did go to facilities to study the special needs people, trying to understand and develop a character and at some point it clicked in for him. Hoffman has been Oscar nominated 7 times for best actor; so now you need to see the rom-com "Tootsie" (1982) or the outstanding western "Little Big Man" (1970).

The scene where the nurse says, "He's artistic?" is accurate regarding the populace in 1988. Rain Man is essentially what showed the general populace that autism existed. The film winning Best Picture and Hoffman winning Best Actor catapulted the movie into further mainstream, and basically anyone who didn't see it in the theatre went out and rented it on VHS. By 1987, barely anyone knew autism existed. By 1989, we all knew...we didn't understand it, but we now were aware.

I forgot to mention this while watching the full reaction. Another movie I think would hit you in the heart would be The Peanut Butter Falcon. Just the sweetest damn film and the story behind the making of it is even sweeter.

I've watched this when it came out and just now, watching this reaction, realize what a great acting job Dustin Hoffman did with his character. His depiction of autism is so spot on, I don't know how much is great script writing or great acting .....or both

BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY was the movie where I started to take Tom seriously as an actor. It’s an under seen movie because of its politics but it’s great. Very uplifting.

Recently the first ever person diagnosed with Autism passed away, aged 89. Being autistic in the 80's wasn't recognized anywhere near as much as it is today. My youngest son, Cole Avery, is autistic and non-verbal and only 6.1/2 years old. He is a very happy young man but I worry very much about his future (especially as i'm 52 years young). But as a movie geek, I loved this movie from the moment it came out and watching the performances of Hoffman (Oscar winner) and Cruise was an absolute privilege. The journey that "Charlie" goes on with his brother "Rain Man" is beautiful and inspiring. This would be in my twenty best movies of all time for the story narrative, the performances and the script and musical score. I can only say whilst fathering Cole can be challenging at times, I feel truly blessed to be his Dad and I know it was my destiny to be his father. He has made my life better. Thank you for sharing your journey Cassie and your family story...i wish you all the very best and I'll continue to watch your fabulous reviews. Can I suggest an underrated and for the best part, an unwatched movie but a gem of a movie and performance by Michael Keaton and Nicole Kidman - My Life (1993). Bring some tissues as it emotionally plucks at your heart strings

There's nothing you have to apologize for. You continually make me love this reaction channel more than any other. And what you shared at the end of this video touched my heart in ways i can't explain. I just want you to know that it does not go unappreciated.

She was a little salty at Tom character right from the get go, lol. That's what makes this film so great though. Watching Charlie loosen up and lower the wall he built around himself.
