I remember watching this movie with my older sister she was 24 and I was 8 she took care of me for most of my life. This theme basically spoke the feelings of being around her, from feeling safe happy and hopeful. My parents passed away when I was 4 months old and her at 16 took on the role of a mom for me she made sure I was very well attended, she provided my every needs growing up, taught me how to read and write how to take care of myself basically everything. She’s the strongest person I know. I remember going to places with her and people asking if I was her son and she would always say yes smiling at me and now as an adult I appreciate that because I know to her I wasn’t a burden and I’ll always be thankful for her and if I ever need to take care of her in the future I would gladly do it.
My age now > [your age + your sister age (when you've watched this)] and I'veee just watched this movie!! amazing and the soundtrack is part of the greatness!
Couldn’t agree more!! Beautiful story, great acting, brilliant music.. overall simpler times no complications no politics no influence.. Just the art of film making..
Draco Malfoy i am myself a young successful guy like cruise in this movie and i do actually have a older brother like huffman in this movie. I cry too.
Relate myself a lot with that movie. My older brother has a mental illness and does exacly the same things as Rain Man. But in the other hand i see a lot of Charlie in me, pretty much identical behavior as me, sometimes telling him off some others giving him affection. This movie means a lot to me !!
Great lines:"I definitely don't ware my underpants " The title theme has a masterful build up that could even render LvB jealous. And what a beautiful performance of Valerie Golina -great sense of humour
I loved this song since childhood.And I hope that when I grow up I can drive, I will listen to this song. Solitude and energetic music at the same time.
One of the few composers who can bring me to tears and motivation all in one pass! I look forward to meeting and collaborating with him one day! An iconic score for an iconic movie. All the compositions to all the parts were strangely appropriate and fit the moods so perfectly.
Winner of best picture, best actor, best screenplay, best director, if only it secured the oscar for this then everything would be perfect. It deserves it
Fun fact: This was Hans Zimmer's first Hollywood score, but director Barry Levison told him to omit strings in it because he thought it would make the film too sentimental
When I was a kid my mom had Rain Man and Top Gun on the same tape. Top Gun is one of my favorite movies and I must've watched 500 times as a kid. I never liked Rain Man but I loved the score. So every time I watched Top Gun I would always watch the credits to Rain Man first, just to hear the music.
@@Jaymark895 I really enjoy Stephen Root’s portrayal of Fuches. Really gonna miss this show after it concludes this season. So many hilarious and messed up moments.
Beautiful score, and one of my all-time favourite movies. I remember when this first came out, brings back memories of my youth. 80s films just go on living forever, I hope the new generations appreciate all the talent from yesteryear, I'm sure that some must do because they are real quality.
This is the soundtrack that motivates me the most. Passion that I have for things that I love to do in life and want to do in life, to keep pursuing them forever. Simply, a masterpiece, by the greatest composer of all time, Hans Zimmer.
A truly inspirational masterpiece, Hoffman's portrayal of Ken was touching warming honestly, seeing the documentary with it showed how amazing Kim Peek is, God bless 🙏
I you close your eyes and listen to this music you can see them walking on the street again and if you listen to background sounds in this music you can imagine everything! One of the best pieces of music I ever heard!
FINALLY!!! After of years of searching, I found it! A moment of silence for those who know this song and have searched for it, but are unable to find it. 😔
hard diving movie we are actually in since the start to the end... wonderfully music theme from hans zimmer thanks a lot to hans zimmer tom cruise n dustin hoffman for this probabally a greatest movie in the human world
@petswodahs That is why I love it so much. And there is something from the athmosphere of the eighties, when life was easier and calmer than now. That is we love it so much. There is something lovely and lost that will probably never come back. It is like when I watch Dirty dancing.
Hans Zimmer has a pretty distinctive music. Many times I have heard the music not knowing it was him, looked up the composer and found it to be him. The Weather Man is an example
By the way, my favourite quote from Rain Man is "97X - BAM! The future of rock n roll" I used to repeat that over and over again to my older sister, drove her crazy!!
Same for all his other movies, including Thelma and Louise, Inception, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Man of Steel, BVS, Interstellar, Dunkirk, Pirates of the Caribbean, Days of Thunder, and Gladiator.
So my older brother, who taught me about animal mating, chicken care, basic english and how to beat mario games turned out to be my rain man. As time progressed, my mind surpassed him in capacity but not in heart, as his was always dealing with his condition, and mine dealing with the sense of injustice of having such a handicapped brother. His heart only grew sadness out of the few times he realized his mental conditions, whereas I only grew hatred out of the byproduct of having a mentally diseased brother. At the end he got the ritalin, I got this movie to cope with our acceptance in order to have a better saturday afternoon with cartoons and toys.
What this movie has that other movies don't are two simple things. 1) It has substance. By this I mean that there is something more behind the plot. It can be a theme, a moral, or an idea. 2) It brings out the substance elegantly. While many other movies attempt to force their so called substance out this one doesn't. Therefore this message does not become superficial. It is elegantly executed. Therefore this movie is real unlike the superficial and shallow films that flood the industry.
I have autism myself and this film is really personal to me. While every autistic person, including Raymond and I, are very different from one another, there were some similarities we could both relate to. The way Raymond remembers little details, like things he hears on the radio or stuff he sees on tv (like "97X, Bam, the future of Rock N Roll" and the "Who's on First" video by Abbott and Costello), is a little bit similar to how I remember a lot of stuff I see in both movies and tv shows (and their behind the scenes features), and what I hear on the radio. The part where Raymond does not like to be touched is how I don't like it when I am touched, though there are sometimes exceptions (handshakes and high-fives are definitely exceptions). The part where Raymond hits himself when he is touched, is like sorta how I was when I was little, when I used to hit, kick, and bite other people back when they were touching me. I kept getting sent home alot. It was a fucking nightmare. Fortunately, I have matured far away years ago. And the part where Raymond freaks out from the smoke alarm, is like how I was very sensitive to loud noises when I was younger. For example, if I was at a baseball stadium during a game, if it was loud (AND IT ALWAYS WAS), there is only one thing I would always want to do there: leave, because it was so loud, my head and ears was hurting and I was crying most of the time. I am a lot better about it now, but back then I just hated that stadium. I think that Rain Man has a very well done portrayal of Autism, both in terms of story and the wonderful performance of Graduate and Kramer v Kramer alum Dustin Hoffman, who deserved the Oscar he got from this movie. I almost cried. And this music by Hans Zimmer, who is a composer I really love for Rain Man, Gladiator, Dark Knight Trilogy, Man of Steel, Batman v Superman (and a little bit of the snyder cut of Justice League), Hannibal, Pirates of the Caribbean, Kung Fu Panda, Madagascar, Crimson Tide, Interstellar, Inception, Dunkirk, Wonder Woman 1984, The Lion King, Days of Thunder, Top Gun Maverick, Mission Impossible 2, Black Hawk Down, Thelma and Louise, and No Time to Die 007. And there's Tom Cruise, of course, who I have always loved seeing on screen since I first saw him as Ethan Hunt in the original Mission Impossible, and it's sequels. I also love him in Days of Thunder, Top Gun 1 and Maverick, Jack Reacher 1 and Never go Back, Minority Report, War of the Worlds, Risky Business, Edge of Tomorrow, and A Few Good Men. I'll watch him in anything. His stunts are so bad ass.
TBH, Tom Cruise should've won the Best Actor Oscar instead of Hoffman. He wasn't even nominated which was absolutely insane. While Hoffman was excellent, Cruise was the soul of the film. Seeing him go from a guy who could less about his autistic brother to one who ripped up a check for $200,000 so that he could be with him 24/7 was an incredible transformation and Cruise nailed that role perfectly.
When you're listening to this music: "Oh my God, I feel like the wisdom of whole universe is pouring into my brain..." After listening: "Nope, I'm dumb again..."
