Rain Man (1/11) Movie CLIP - I'm An Excellent Driver (1988) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Charlie (Tom Cruise) discovers that the stranger sitting in his car with his girlfriend is actually his brother Ray (Dustin Hoffman).

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Self-centered, avaricious Californian Charlie Babbitt (Tom Cruise) is informed that his long-estranged father has died. Expecting at least a portion of the elder Babbitt's $3 million estate, Charlie learns that all he's inherited is his dad's prize roses and a 1949 Buick Roadmaster. Discovering that the $3 million is being held in trust for an unidentified party, Charlie heads to his home town of Cincinnati to ascertain who that party is. It turns out that the beneficiary is Raymond Babbitt (Dustin Hoffman), the autistic-savant older brother that Charlie never knew he had. Able to memorize reams of trivia and add, subtract, multiply, and divide without a second's hesitation, Raymond is otherwise incapable of functioning as a normal human being. Aghast that Raymond is to receive his father's entire legacy, Charlie tries to cut a deal with Raymond's guardian. When this fails, Charlie "borrows" Raymond from the institution where he lives, hoping to use his brother as leverage to claim half the fortune. During their subsequent cross-country odyssey, Charlie is forced to accommodate Raymond's various autistic idiosyncracies, not the least of which is his insistence on adhering to a rigid daily schedule: he must, for example, watch People's Court and Jeopardy every day at the same time, no matter what. On hitting Las Vegas, Charlie hopes to harness Raymond's finely-honed mathematical skills to win big at the gaming tables; but this exploitation of his brother's affliction compels Charlie to reassess his own values, or lack thereof. A longtime pet project of star Dustin Hoffman, Rain Man was turned down by several high-profile directors before Barry Levinson took on the challenge of bringing Ronald Bass' screenplay to fruition (Levinson also appears in the film as a psychiatrist). All three men won Oscars, and the movie won Best Picture.

He deserved an Oscar. Definitely deserved an Oscar.

[RelentlessOhiox]

Say what you want about Tom in his personal life, but he can be a damn fine actor when he needs to be. He nailed the transition of a narcissistic money hungry person to genuinely having empathy and caring for a brother he didn't even want at first.

[omarpacho]

I worked with a couple of persons with ASD and the part where he looks at his watch and goes 'uh-oh' cannot be more accurate

[artdeco]

Tom Cruise is now older than Dustin Hoffman was in this movie. Time waits for no one.

He won that Oscar for this. Well deserved 👍

[itsmeforsure]

"Dad lets me drive slow in the driveway every saturday". While watching the movie, I missed the importance of this scene. Charlie had left the house and the father must have been bringing raymond back home for visits on the weekend. I think more could have been done with this scene or maybe expanded on later.

00:25 the way Cruise holds his arms back, like Hoffman's affliction is contagious is interesting. It's the little things.

[robertfoote]

Dustin Hoffman's greatest movie ever!

[guardianangel]

[derekjlight]

"The People's Court...duh duh duh duh"

[Ali_Ahmed_Yousuf]

Just watched this movie and I can easily say that tom cruise is one of the greatest Actors of all time!!! He definitely deserves Oscar in this movie. Raymond and charlie both are legendary brothers, the plot twist, the emotions, the comedy was at its peak. I cant believe that Tom Cruise is 61 years old. He will always be legendary and handsome.

The best scenes in this movie, to me, are the ones that show things going past when Charlie and Raymond are on the road. They demonstrate how intensely Raymond experiences the world.
