Review: RAIN MAN (1988)

DIRECTED BY: Barry Levinson

RAIN MAN is 1988 movie starring Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise. Its story of Charlie (Cruise) who finds after his estranged father’s death that his father has left all his 3 million dollar property to his other son Raymond (Hoffman) whose existence he was not aware of. Raymond is an autistic person and living in a mental institute. Charlie initially for his selfish motive tries to get the possession of his brother but by the end they find a beautiful bonding between each other.

Hoffman was simply superb and deserved the Oscar which he was awarded for this movie. He portrayed Raymond with utmost sincerity. Cruise as his younger was also good and looks fit for the character of Charlie. The movie has its own moments to enjoy and to feel good. Beautiful narration of story by director Barry Levinson. Watch it especially for Hoffman.
