Rain Man is a remarkable film that shows Tom
Cruise, Dustin Hoffman and director Barry Levinson
at the peak of their powers.
The movie tells the story of two brothers who are

(Cruise), deals in expensive cars and lives in the fast
lane in California. The older, Raymond (Hoffman),
is an autistic savant and lives at a mental institution
in Ohio.
The two meet again after the death of their
father, who left most of his estate to Raymond.
Because Raymond cannot understand the concept
of money ? he thinks a candy bar and a compact
car both cost $100 ? the millions are left under the
care of his doctor. This angers the materialistic
Charlie so much that he kidnaps his brother from
the institution and promises to sue for custody of
him.
The drive back to California is the subject of

f |m Review
most of the film and chronicles the relationship the
brothers develop. Although Raymond and Charlie
have difficulty communicating because of Raymond's
autistic condition, they slowly get to a
point where they can understand each other ? and
that gradual understanding is the source of' the
movie's magical moments.
In fact, Rain Man becomes a strangely compelling
combination of the road picture and the buddy
film ? it's a movie that chronicles the lives of two
wildly different personalities who adapt to each
other's idiosyncrasies as they travel across
America.
Not all of Rain Man works, but Levinson's
steady direction lifts the low points. Levinson,
whose earlier films include Diner, Tin Men and
Good Morning, Vietnam, has fully matured as a

| director with this film, which should earn him an
I Academy Award nomination.
Cruise also comes into his own in Rain Man.
Too often he has been all too willing to rely on his
appearance to do his acting for him, and the results
have been slick, vacuous films such as Top Gun
and Cocktail. But Cruise shows that underneath
the image and the glitz is a decent actor who can
perform well when working with a script that gives
him something to say. He still lacks the depth of
Hoffman, but he has the potential to be more than
a teenage heartthrob.
But the film really belongs to Hoffman, who
gives an amazing performance as a man who lives
in his own world, a man who plans his life around
People's Court and Jeopardy. Hoffman is simply
superb in a demanding role; he should also earn an
Academy Award nomination.
Rain Man handles a difficult subject well. It
never preaches, and it never panders. It simply tells
its story.
