“I don’t have my books, I’m going to be bookless”. 1988’s Rain Man tells the story of Charlie Babbit, a quasi-successful businessman looking to continue his string of high-risk, high-reward deals. When his estranged father passes, he initially thinks he’s hit the windfall, only to find nearly all inheritance has been sent to his long-lost brother Raymond. Raymond, an “autistic savant” in the film’s terms lives life in a facility, unable to interact with the world on his own. When Charlie decides to “kidnap” Raymond to gain leverage to regain his inheritance, a cross-country road trip begins. Part drama, part comedy, part Tom Cruise, and part Dustin Hoffman, Rain Man is a little bit of everything. Does lightning strike thrice for Mr. Hoffman? Find out here.
