He should work for NASA or something.

Only on a Saturday tho

In the driveway

@@strangeways4217 Defo not on mondays

Haha that's a great comment!

the protagonist changes - basic fundamentals of a good script.

Yeah he just doesn't understand. He's using logic that doesn't apply and slowly he learns. Then he learns to love his brother for who he is.

Wow what an interesting fact!

That's awseome.

There is a secondary story to that, but I can’t tell if it’s true or not. The man was suffering from Alzheimers and It was therapeutic for him to talk with others so they thought it was best for him to be discussing his favorite subject.

Was about to comment on what great acting from that chap as it came over as so real.

That's the mark of a good director, using unintentional characters (usually non-actors) to shade in some color to the scene.

Oh thaaat's what that was! I was wondering about those. 😂 ~:~

The ending credits for "The Hangover" is influenced by it

I understand,my daughter Caroline 15 is autistic

Your son will be fine. Stay blessed all!

@@Sagar-bv7tf So sorry to hear that, man. The men and women responsible for harming our kids will pay for their crimes, in full.

Love to you and your family. I'm sure one of the main reasons guys like Dustin Hoffman become artists is to hear people like you say things like that.

If makes me emotional because my brother was tortured and tormented in highschool and he was diagnosed with autism in 2019 when he was 39… it upsets me because he was stabbed with pencils, had notes put in his locker that he would get his throat slit and they would watch the life drain from his eyes.. my brother couldn’t talk until he was 5! He has been abused, and neglected his whole life

He sounds like a politician.

yea except he’s a human computer, not a math genius

Dude the amount of technology that's come out of NASA is insane compared to their budget. Complaining about NASA is like complaining about inventing computers saying we should have spent that time and money making more farming equipment.

@@ReasonMakes I heard NASA`S budget is still less than what Americans spend each year on dog treats

@@PLAsshole we are all computers. He is a calculator

The slow zoom in on Tom Cruise's face puts an accent on the drama of the scene too.

Yes! For sure

Same.

@Christopher Bingham Because he himself doesn’t see himself or his approach to life as atypical.

@Christopher Bingham He was sent to a care home there with an autism diagnosis to protect his little borther. I think he is quite aware of things while being abnormal. This people are on and off this why we do not understand them

wondering on AN #FICA revolving credit scores... ADT reporting agencies "AND" SQRT 2130

@flyhound97 yea sure..

I'm not sure where you're from.. but in the United States a candy bar is nowhere near 100 dollars.

@@partyinmypocket I know, I am just being sarcastic.

Kim Robillard - nailed this part

What's even wierdier is that he does a better job explaining Raymond's condition than the guy who watched over Raymond all those years.

@@actioncom2748 Indeed. The doctor has the knowledge of the educated class, but the blunt manners of the working class. Both are needed to adequately understand the medical problem, and to communicate that problem to the patient's loved ones. I think what Levinson was trying to say with this scene is there is plenty of value in things like "folk wisdom" or "frontier medicine".

​@@actioncom2748 The more accurate term for Ray is "medium-functioning", but there was a very limited understanding of autism back then.

Savantism.

that scene was accidental. So they kept it in the movie

+Alex Tocqueville He was an annoying Un-Diagnosed Autistic, blathering onto another annoying Un-Diagnosed Autistic! :D

Lol

Great scene ...and I read that guy just rambled on about the West ..haha ...and I always laugh when Tom says ...'so much for the NASA thing ' ...

The nurse who doesn’t know what autism is 🤦‍♂️

rayman was diagnosed

I came here for that

filmed in Enid OK. That was surely a local they recruited. LOL

The most sane Enid resident. @@bobgrob4

😂

i agree i have that issue when i was evaluated the said i was one of the highest functioning. also i disagree with the iq comment, IQ i feel is based on the amount of education provided. i cant remember my iq number.

I agree autistics are very high functioning I have a few friends who are autistic and you can't tell they have it, they're very intelligent I knew this one guys who's autistic and he remembers almost all of the bus routes in my city where I live in and everyone was thinking wow he has such a good memory and said he should work for the bus company he knew the routes, times days they ran on and he was very intelligent, they are very smart people indeed.

you dont say. but today people think that people who cant talk are dumb. its a common mistake that most people do. people you know...

LexWd uhm.... do we care?

Adam Whitehead This is called Savant syndrome...sometimes Autism comes along with it.

What would he do if they shut down his Kmart on 400 oak street?

400 east oak street Cincinnati Ohio

Look it’s already been established-K-mart sucks. 🩲 🩲 🩲

Kmart sucks!

Where did you hear that? I can assure you that they are not making a sequel.

I am too !

LMAO that guy drove me nuts.

I'd watch a whole movie of that guy just talking about the Pony express.

Haha yes and the putrid stench of the mouthpiece lol 😆

Rain Man came out in 1988. A lot more than 20 years.

Grandpa that's like 35 ears ago not 20

In what contexts do you use it?

Bob Gladys not understanding context others don’t have, ironically an autistic quirk. I am infuriating to most people, marvelous to futurama fans.

And the other classic Line " I'm an excellent Driver " Lol

It's based on a guy with the same abilities though.

Allen Lohr I’m sorry to hear that my biggest dream was to take care of children with autism god bless you and him ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

Rain Man helped me to understand my brother more and I am thankful

Why crying? It's nothing bad, it's not cancer. It just means his brain works differently or on a different level. I've got a little bit of both aspergers and autism and d not take medication for any of it and I do OK. I just seem weird to people in public hen I try to communicate or interact so I just avoid all hat when I can. I only do it because I have to, and usually on a given day I barely say more than 2 sentences but yeah.I do a lot better with a keyboard and typing out replies, my brain is less stressed and has more time to think on replies and what I want to say.

Your brother it's kinda lucky and so as You ...bet your bro loves You very much ,may god bless You both.

+Steven MacPhail Well this took place in the 80s when autism wasn't as well known

+Aveture Heck doctors hardly knew anything about it in the 90s. And there's still a lot about it that's unknown.

It has nothing to do with the people being dumb if it were today a doctor could use the internet to read up on a disease. Severe Mental Disorders were rare in small towns usually families just sent the ill to an Asylum.

Autism - 1 n. a label formally based on the basic features of engrossment in one self (per Gk. "self-adherence"), reduced ability to respond to or communicate with the outside world, and intellectual disability, esp. severe. 2 n. a global, totalitarian syndicate dedicated to observing a final standard of absolute conformity from birth, imposing draconian sanctions as punishment for failure, and the use of this label to justify the lifelong mistreatment of these persons, their placement in a collectivist subhuman underclass, and the eternal existence of this syndicate and label; ignoring all evidence of this label's subjective sources at all costs, including but not limited to the lives of persons on whom the label is laid, esp. without regard to those persons' consequence, or the advent of social, economic, technological, or academic Dark Ages.

I work in a hospital, there's a lot some don't know.

stelkin656 the real rain man Kim peak did work for nasa

he doesn't understand money because he doesn't understand the word dollar and the varying values we place on it that's the issue, straight numbers and mathematics that is definite is fine, variables of what something is worth is the issue because that doesn't conform to a simple pattern since money is something we just make up and alter the value of constantly.

@@bezzaderbane9890 True, and it may be hard for him to understand the meaning we put on it, but not impossible. I think if Raymond was a real person and someone took a long time to explain money to him in simple terms that he could understand, he could get the idea. ~:~

It shows that he doesn't comprehend the trade and societal value of money. It's a succinct example of what he is 'missing'.

@@bezzaderbane9890 yeah I get what you're saying. My stepmom actually explained it to me when I was younger cause I was confused when Raymond knew math questions instantly, but lacked the ways of money. He doesn't understand that there's an infinite amount of ways to make a certain amount; i.e. all change, all dollar bills, some change and some dollar bills, etc. Pretty mindboggling 🤯

You would think Raymond would have figured it out himself when Charlie counted the exact number of toothpicks. It didn't take a doctor to figure that one out.

@@MichaelGiordano777 Reverse that.

⚰️😂

Probably THE BEST with Kramer vs. Kramer a close second.

Well he is Doctor so im sure he went to Oklahoma University

Well, from what I can gather, he’s probably a family doctor. Doctors who practice family medicine learn a little about every field, including psychiatry. So it’s no surprise that he’d know a little about autism.

Yes when he picked up the calculator he mumbled "I read something about this". Autism was very new in the late 80s still. There would be medical newsletters published about the emergence of studies on it but nothing concrete was known at the time. My great grandma figured I had autism back in the mid 90s and was cutting out newspaper clippings she read about it. Still have a whole little box of the clippings and stuff she saved about it. I eventually met other autistic friends and they told me they are sure I have it. It explains some of the ways I'm weird. @@hawkeyepierce7035

Angel Simone younger brother

I woulda taken him to the casino too

@@danjack1447 that's pretty fucked up

You're missing the goal though. Yes he exploited his brother for monetary gain but during that journey he learned to love his brother and that became more important.

@@Clone-up2ge Why not? They had Cleopatra and Caesar in there. What's wrong with "1 if it's bad, 2 if it's good"? Raymond was just using his natural talents.

K-mart but yeah. 😂 ~:~

He have meltdown when saw walmart

Did NASA stole the show?

Patty Jaymes and a lot of autistics do speak.

Patty Jaymes some autistics talk way too much. I call it comorbid ADHD.

We just don't talk about things you find interesting! Lol.

What do you want it was the 80s fcs sheesh relax..just a.movie

U cringed ? Lol damn ur too serious about life

Probably compared to the economy of 30+ years ago.

​@@alexschmidt2895 Yes, I can Remember when candy bars cost $.15

Maybe if another one of you posts this for the 2000th time it'll really start being poignant.

unfortunately I’d guess that most high functioning autistics build a high tolerance for pain because the average numbskull cannot relate whatsoever and the frustration of knowing and understanding so much more then the average person yet not always able to communicate it properly must be painful and difficult, and so they learn to overcome by accepting that, or at least not expecting others to understand. They learn to tolerate instead of acclimate.

I have autism but I don't have a very good understanding of the concept of time. I can tell time and keep a schedule but no one, not even myself, can make me understand why time is so important. And it is the same with money. I know what half of a dollar is. I understand math and have a job but I have no idea why money is so important to people...it's just not apart of who I am.

it relates to a story i know of an autistic person taking an IQ test. the test had a gradual increase in difficulty the further you get along the test. So this autistic person takes it, scores substandard, like 50 or something. But then they decided to give him the test in reverse, starting with the questions anyone would find impossible and he scores 150 or some genius level IQ.

That is really interesting!

Lol

lol

Um, that was Robert Dinero. Hoffman’s career was catapulted along into stardom when he stared in The Graduate.

I loved him in Goodfellas!

His portrayal of the confused orphan involuntarily chosen by fate to save a solar system from evil henchmen was really good too. Plus he got to bang Carrie Fisher. And R2D2. At the same time. And a much older lady in the prequel.

Well of course his best role was as former banker Andy Dufresne, who was wrongfully convicted of killing his wife and her lover.

@@crispinjulius5032 are you trying to seduce me

My Name Here yes

You got the line wrong. He Said "Did you fuckin fart?"

beforeafternow very little was known about autism because people have a hard time explaining it. People used to think autism was a person who is empty inside, but we now know the opposite is true. I’m on the autism spectrum, and when I was growing up, whenever I tried to explain to anyone something is wrong with me (or everyone else it’s hard to tell), people would tell me it’s in my head, I’m being sensitive, or I don’t have problems. I spent most of my life thinking I have “invisible” ocd, anxiety, depression, bpd, dysgraphia. I also have ADHD. It’s much more obvious than Asperger’s.

King Squid iq doesn't necessarily mean intelligence, what can be described as intelligent is so vast there really is no accurate way to measure it. Some people are better at academics but are possibly awful at using common sense, vice versa.

shut up you fucking doink

Just don’t shoot up a school alright!

Good for you! Don't listen to the haters. Consider me one friend. (And Jesus- that's two!) 😊 ~:~

Natalie Harshman - Natalie you don’t live up to your last name at all ;)

ana idk That's how it goes. Autistic people have amazing abilities, but have a hard time understanding common things every day people know. Hell, Raymond thought a candy bar cost $100.

+Jose Gonzalez i thought a car cost around 500 XD
