Rain Man (1988) First Time Watching!!! | MOVIE REACTION 

Raymond was always autistic. He was sent to Wallbrook after the mother died and needed constant care. The incident that sent Raymond to Wallbrook because of the hot water in the bathtub while Charlie was a baby. Sending Raymond to a managed-care institute was necessary at the time because not much was known about autism or how to care for a child at home. Wallbrook had doctors, therapists, and social workers who could better manage Raymond's care. Raymond was a savant under the autism spectrum, which means he excelled in certain areas, such as instant recall and high-performance math skills, but lacked socialization that would help him form normal relationships.

Hi I just happened to see you watch this amazing movie..1990 i met the person that Dustins character was based on Kim Peek..I worked at Columbus Community Center in SLC..i taught him life skills for 4 years.. 5 days a week every day..he was is amazing ..great sense of humor..we went to the library 3 times pr week..and he did memorize the phone book..he toured with his father all around the world speaking.. he was my friend..rip sweetheart great memories..

I have new appreciation for this film now that I have an autistic child of my own.

So glad y'all did this wonderful film! Both actors did a terrific job, Hoffman's performance is spectacular. I've often thought it would be a smash if they made a sequel today following Raymond & Charlie.

Not only was Charlie robbed of a relationship with his big brother, but Raymond was traumatized by losing his little brother, his mother, & his family home. He may not have traditional or neurotypical understanding or responses, therefore unable to carry on a traditional or neurotypical relationship with anyone, but him screaming "hot water burn baby", says that that moment when he lost everything he knew, was seared into his mind & psyche. And he was very traumatized by it. He missed Charlie from that moment on - in his own way.

This is a beautiful movie. The end is really only the beginning between them.

Such a good movie, such great acting. Thank you for sharing this one, M&J. 🙂

You should watch more Dustin Hoffman films: "Midnight Cowboy, " "Tootsie, " "Kramer vs Kramer, " "Marathon Man," "Kung Fu Panda," "All the President's Men," "The Graduate, " "Papillon," "Lenny." He is a two-time Oscar winner.

Winner of 4 Oscars including Best Picture. This movie shows a positive portrait with people on the Autism Spectrum.

Superior acting on display by Dustin Hoffman.

One of my fave films of all-time. The chemistry between Dustin Hoffman & Tom Cruise is truly dynamic and beautiful. While Hoffman justifiably won the Oscar for Best Actor, Cruise was not even nominated (!) Oscars went to Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Screenplay (co-written by Barry Morrow who also wrote an excellent TV movie BILL starring Mickey Rooney as a mentally challenged institutionalized old man that is worth viewing too). The moderator in the hearing is the film's director Barry Levinson who filled the role at the last minute after the actor cast suddenly dropped out. Hoffman based his character on several people with autism (which at the time in the '80s was never explored cinematically nor really known to the general populace until the success of this film's release). Glad you got to see this finally - great viewing guys.

You guys got really excited about Tom Cruise but Dustin Hoffman was a hugely popular, and as you can see, incredibly talented, actor. At the time of the making of this movie I believe Hoffman was the bigger name. Btw Dustin Hoffman won the Academy Award for this portrayal.

There is a film that I have NOT seen any other reactors react to and I believe it may be one of Tom Cruise's very first films!! From 1981 called "Taps"! Also stars Timothy Hutton and Sean Penn! ALL QUITE young, 19 & 21. ALSO HAS George C. Scott!! Pretty good film about a military ACADEMY that gets TAKEN OVER by the CADETS and they go up AGAINST the national guard!!!

As a parent to an autistic child I can relate to this movie

Hi guys! Great reaction. Remember: Raymond nearly burnt his 2 yo brother or maybe even younger than that. That's why they put him in an institution. Why didn't the father tell Charlie that he had a brother? Well, he couldn't tell him at first because Charlie was too young, and then things weren't so smooth between Charlie and his dad. And anyway, Charllie left home at 15 or 16. At least, that's what I'm guessing.

great reaction, this is the first time I have seen someone react to Rain Man-such a great movie!

Everyone has their thoughts about what if in this great movie. Think of Charlie when we first sees him, this is a male that grew up with a Multi-Millionaire father, mother died when he was 2, the one that was nice to him he saw out of window him leaving, knowing enough to say bye bye Rainman...so knew he was gone, like mother. Then we saw after funeral the story about telling cops car was stold, and left him in jail as teen 2 days ! After watching friends get picked up fast. Think about how Charlie felt, alone, just him and Dad, super rich, yet left early forever, and struggle in work, yet learned from Dad business, so was successful enough to have those cars and not Ford or Buick! That's why he didn't feel love, didn't get it, didn't know how to give it. Dr Brunner was wrong, a long friend of Dad, because Charlie was angry with Dad, Brunner made Charlie just getting the car and roses. If he took Charlie's side, he could get 50/50 to sons, and $1.5M for Raymond was way enough to take care of him with his friend. But you saw, how after a week, Charlie and him changed each other forever, witch is good for girlfriend, that's the Charlie she fell in love with. Recommend Tom Cruise movie before Top Gun, as a HS football player in Pennsylvania in 80s. That acting got him Maverick forever. It's called Make All the Right Moves. You'll like it.

Dustin Hoffman had a magnificent start to his career. The Graduate (1967), Midnight Cowboy (1969) and Little Big Man (1970) were all celebrated as great films. One of his most interesting roles was in "The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc" (1999), where he plays Joan's conscience....or was he something else?

This is not an unrealistic movie about a guy with autism who somehow changes and is cured by the end. It's a realistic movie about a guy who changes and evolves and comes to love and understand his autistic brother.

Great movie . You should see other great Hoffman movies like Marathon Man 1976 and Hero 1992 . Outbreak , Lenny , The Graduate. Tom Cruse need no introduction he has many great movies like Vanilla Sky, Cocktail, The Firm, Jack Reacher

👍🏽Nice react guys!👍🏽

Interesting to find out you are from Romania. I would like to hear more about your story.

Please get to know Dustin Hoffman. Can't believe you don't know him

Sanford Babbitt and his son Charlie Babbitt were quite similar. Both were strong-willed, stubborn and unforgiving. They butted heads quite often when Charlie was younger (like during the Buick incident). Once Charlie left home (on bad terms), Sanford may have thought, "What would be the point of telling him about his brother Raymond?"

No one gets their head bitten off in this one! Enjoy!

Great movie and people really underrate Tom Cruise as an actor. I know he's about done doing Mission Impossible movies, I really hope he gets back to doing dramas.

Interesting fact: This is the only film where Tom Cruise smokes.

Love this movie. So many quotable moments like "400 oak street Kmart" or "Gotta watch Wapner"

I love this movie!! So happy you guys finally watched it.

That was my uncles car

Excellent movie. Dustin Hoffman won an Academy Award, but I thinkTom Cruise deserved one for his performance that had to be much more nuanced.

Dustin Hoffman was amazing in this

People with autism are usually sweet poeple.

Great post points as always guys 👍🏻

A fascinating story of two brothers: One who is forever trapped in a world of his own due to a neurological disorder, and one who has willfully trapped himself in a world of selfishness and anger. Charlie had no chance of saving Raymond, but Raymond saved Charlie without even trying.

one the bests reaction channel , tnks from brazil

Where did you guys meet?

I need to reply from K-mart. Cincinnati Ohio. Definitely. Now.

Awesome reaction of my Tom Cruise movie!!!!😊😊😊😊

1. Hoffman really did fart in the phonebooth. Being professionals they worked through it in character. 2. The first indication the change in Charlie beginning to change to me is the farm porch scene. 3. The casino would have swapped out the dealer before taking the step of kicking them out. 4. The hooker was just working and it's doubtful she turned them in. 5. I suspect Charlie has a bit of his "piece of work" father has just as Raymond got the completely different personalities. (mentally/emotionally) 6. Top 5-character development movie. Perhaps Charlie won't be so self-centered and toxic now.

Hi Marian & Joy!😊 Nice to see you guys finally watching this classic film! Charlie became a better person after getting to know his brother and even turned down the $250,000 check. Great reactions to this very well made award winning film, Kids!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

I think Charlie's Dad was just overwhelmed as a single father (even if he was rich). He sent Raymond away when Charlie was slightly burned by some hot water, and just stopped talking to Charlie about Raymond...and after Charlie left, set up his will to take care of Raymond for the rest of his life.

Great movie guys, Dustin Hoffman, phenomenal and Tom Cruise 👏👏👏💯💯💯 enjoy the movie and love your channel guys ❤❤❤

Valeria Golino = 🔥 !! 😍 She's great in both Hot Shots movies and a really good obscure movie called 4 Rooms.

I once worked at K-Mart in Kentucky (1981-1984). It really sucked. 😁

Shout out to Hans Zimmer for making the great OST, this was his early stages in his career. I always get chocked up when Raymond rests his head on Charlie and then he says "C-H-A-R-L-I-E Mian man".

Dustin Hoffman is an absolutely great actor. You might like "Little Big Man", a western. Dustin Hoffman has a wide range as an actor. Another favorite of mine is "Hero", but I don't think you can pick a bad Dustin Hoffman movie. It was fun watching with you, thanks for sharing with us. You two were great, as usual. God bless you!

MJoy4Fun This is one of my favorite Tom Cruise movies and I am enjoying this journey . One of my favorite lines in the script is when Charlie's girlfriend is leaving Charlie in the hotel and she tells Charlie that he is using Raymond and her . Charlie stops in the argument and asks Raymond "Am I using you?" and Raymond says "yeah" . Although Raymond doesn't know a lot he knew how Charlie was treating him was wrong . I really like both of your reactions and comments for "Rain Man" very much. Thank you both for this .

One of my favorite movies, funny comedy and little insiders if you pay attention.

Beautiful!...✌️❤️❤️!

My theory is that there was a time where Raymond was cognitive enough to a to help his dad attend to Charlie. Maybe during a moment that Ray and Charlie were left alone together, maybe during bath time. Raymond may have been running the water for a bath, or tried to and Charlie might have gotten badly scalded by the hot water. The trauma of feeling responsible for that maybe triggered Raymond's condition

yeah defiantly game over yeah game over definitely game over

Check out "Oblivion"

I always figured that the father wanted to just hide raymond. If you have that kind of money, you can get help to move into your house. You don't have to send your child away. But he did anyway.

the reaction > the movie , kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk please one request from brazil, put u in the ytop 5 lines ever in the cinema

guys, my uncle, we call him a brother, has down syndrome, back when he was born, they were not expetected to live over 25 to 30 years old He is now 65 years old, his name is IAN 3 letters, but he cant spell that, back in the day of records, singles and lp@ and cassettes for music, he had over 2000 recors and 500 cassettes, that was his thing, he could not read or right, but knew the postion of every record in his collection, we used to test him ask for a certain record, we took records out and swapped sleeves, moved them around, he knew just by a visual, he didnt get panicked, just re organised yet he would not be ble to read the lable on a tin of beens, also his meories of passed events never faded,

New subscriber. May I suggest a movie I saw as a kid that still breaks my heart, makes me laugh, and smile? It's called My Girl with McCauley Caulkin and another one would be The Great Outdoors with John Candy. Great reaction channel.

I think the main idea of this story, is that K-Mart sucks.

97X ... Bam! The future of Rock & Roll 97X ... Bam! The future of Rock & Roll 97X ... Bam! The future of Rock & Roll 97X ... Bam! The future of Rock & Roll 97X ... Bam! The future of Rock & Roll . . . . .

on another point, which you guys said about routine, he needed that, he used to go clubs every week, where he played bingo, with other special needs, if it was holiday time and he knew week before he was fine, he could process that, if it was cancelled on the day or the day before, he could not process that, thats the routine messed up, they build themselves up, we take him out for dinner, as my brother does and cousins, he can process that, , but it has to be a weeks notice, as in his head his week is planned, we cant change that

Sorry Joy but Common Sense is Not Subjective - it is the base line. Saying its your common sense vs someone else' is like saying his truth your truth - there is only truth. You guys were going on about how Charlie just wanted the money and he did - in the beginning he was a lousy greedy grub. But what about the Hospital? They wanted to Keep Rain Man for the money too.

Most people don't mention this with the movie, but the decision the father made was not that unusual. You have to realize that when Charlie was burned by the bath, it was mid '60s. The attitude and support services to and for neurodivergent people was far different than today. In fact, the only reason Raymond wasn't institutionalized as a young child was likely due to the family wealth/income, although we don't know the family income back then. We do know the father did become more wealthy, upper middle class at least, by the time Charlie was 16. Even if they had in-home help, Raymond was big and older, and would have been more danger than if they were closer in age even with help. It could be the burning incident happened even with help, just walk out of the bathroom to get the towel and hear Raymond has out Charlie in burning water. There was also shame with having what was then called a "retarded" person in the family. So the way we include and accept people who are different is not the attitudes of mid '60s. There was no need for Charlie to know he had a "retarded" brother. It was protecting him from the shame, giving Charlie a clean and perfect family to start from.

Made me cry dammit I like this movie

They should watch "The color of money" with Tom Cruise and Paul Newman. Excellent movie.

Whats with bleeping the swearing and then leaving the subtitles on pointless.

Please watch Born on the Fourth of July with Tom Cruise.

Wanky Wanky LMAO 🤣

"Rain Man" was made during the "Tom Cruise is a very good actor" Era. Excellent acting by Cruise in excellent films. Unfortunately, Cruise renounced all that in favor of being TOM CRUISE ACTION HERO! Today, he's like the action-figure toys you can buy at the toy store. 👎👎

Kmart sucks. 'Wonderful movie. I think Tom Cruise's acting matured with this film. Like Tom Cruise more in War of the Worlds (2005) Collateral (2004) Born on the Fourth of July (1989) There's a movie that I think is kind of a sister-film to Rain Man; Awakenings (1990) Robin Williams, Robert De Niro This is an incredible film - I would love to catch your reaction to it. I really enjoyed watching Rain Man with you - Peace

I can't stand Tom Cruise, but I LOVE this movie. I think their father was not a good person, or, at the very least, he could not handle raising children on his own. The line from the father's letter to Charlie that went: "Your failure to contact me in any way has left me without a son." was an indicator that the father did not really want Raymond around.

Everything about Tom Cruise's caharacter is unlikable

Charlie grabbing Ray by the neck is a deal breaker for me. You have no right to put your hands on anyone, especially a mentally challenged person.
