I thought just the complete opposite. I felt they should have found an talented actor that wasn't well known and I think it would have been much more realistic. It took me forever watching this movie before I stopped thinking, "look, there's Dustin Hoffman playing an autistic dude." Overall though, it's a fine movie and one of Tom Cruise's better performances.
Ray did you fuckin hear what I said?! SHUT UP!!! You hear me. I know you hear me! You don't fool me with this shit for a second! Now go back on the road and pick up my fucking shorts on the highway!
The fart in the phone box scene was totally improvised. Hoffman really did fart and they took it from there. Shows how good Cruise was that he could just react and go with it. Without laughing.
The praise for Hoffman is well-deserved, but many film enthusiasts have pointed out that Cruise's role is the more difficult one. Charlie's the one who actually evolves throughout the movie.
Yes. Cruise's acting is under appreciated. Hoffman is superb of course, but it's as hard to play the everyday man who's supposed to be the audience can relate to convincingly. Similar with how Johnny Depp played his character on Who's Eating Gilbert Grape.
> Charlie's the one who actually evolves throughout the movie. At the beginning V-E-R-N is Raymond's main man. At the end it's C-H-A-R-L-I-E. Also at the end, as far as we can make sense of self-contradictory preferences, Raymond seriously considers permanently leaving the routine of Wallbrook to live with his brother Charlie. I'd say they both evolve.
I absolutely hate his character. He's such a POS. It's irrational but I hate Tom Cruise to this day because of this movie. I've tried to rewatch it after my son was born but I can only get a few minutes into it. So yeah he must be a good actor.😊
@@davidhutchinson7888It's the only Tom Cruise movie I can watch and that's because I totally forget he's Tom Cruise in it. This movie made me want to strangle him.
Its rarely known by people who see it that he is /also/ autistic. When they start talking in the car about car models and he has multiple meltdowns i'm like 👀 good small detail
I don't think either of them were intending to be superior, they were two very different movies. Gump basically cruises through life not understanding much that's not entirely personal to him and what he does love he keeps a firm grip on it, all with a very hopeful attitude. Meanwhile Ray tells a far darker and likely more relatable story about actually trying to live with it as someone on the outside yanks him away from that life, said brother not getting it for quite a while and having a rude awakening to it. They're both fantastic.
As the parent of a child on the autism spectrum whom I love more than I love my life, this movie was an amazing portrayal on both sides. That scene on the highway with the underwear gets me every time because I have had many conversations just like that and I totally understand the frustration that leads Cruise to jump out of the car screaming, and I totally understand the shame he later feels for getting to that point with someone who can’t be any way other than the way they are. Like Ray, my boy has some abilities that leave me in awe of him, and some challenges that leave me frustrated with him and scared for him.
I agree that's why the Autism depicted in this film is pretty bad, Dustin Hoffman nailed it at depicting what the severe end spectrum is like and won dozens of awards
triggers some intense memories, little brother is autistic along with other things. well done movie fairly acurate, was really suprised how familiar most of this is. helps me realize my dad is an extremely patient man when i look at how our little family of three deals with some of this vs how this mans brother does
I couldn't watch this because I understood what happened when he freaked out. It's like pure terror just fills you. You feel anger, fear, and sadness all at once. You just shut down. It broke my heart everytime he had an attack.
Single Bird Dad Charlie had never been around anyone like Ray. It wasn't his fault. The main point of the movie was Charlie's transformation as a human being. The Autistic brother who supposedly needed the help, ended up helping his non Autistic brother.
Single Bird Dad I agree, I have a cousin with Austim and definitely noticed some similarities, when he was young everything had to be perfect, he had to turn the TV on, if someone else did he would yell... plenty of other stories and it’s ironic because his dad (my uncle) is the most calm and laid back man ever ...
Single Bird Dad My youngest son has it. I saw this years ago. I tried watching it lately I just cant. I REALLY hate cruises character now. It does take alot of patience dealing with it.
I have asperger syndrome and I have been them both AS Rey and Tom Cruise. I stuck with what I knew and didn't like change and also was annoyed when I was around infantil autistic kids
I watched this movie for the first time in 2013 when my son was diagnosed. My wife couldn’t believe it when they said that Ray had mild autism. 6 years later I can now understand that is very accurate. My son cannot do half the things that ray can. This movie will be with us forever. It broke so many barriers when it was made.

I'm a bit hesitant in saying this, because I don't want to invalidate any of your experiences, but... well, here goes: There are people on the autism spectrum with much less severe support needs than Raymond.

@@jonaskoelker No regular parent can love a child like an autism parent. People say they love all children equally but with autism its not true. I love my son way more than his NT sibling.

@@jonaskoelker No worries. Not at all, my mood is great. Rather I saw it as an opportunity to voice what a small group of people experience.

For parents we do not accept the affliction that was handed to our kids, just like any other affliction such as bipolar or cancer.

When I had the kitchen manager sign for the work done, I asked him why 400 Oak Street sounded so familiar. He asked if I had seen the movie Rain Man.

He asked if I noticed the hotel was at the corner of Oak and Burnet. I had to laugh
they are both incredibly tough roles to fill, being able to empathise with somebody with autism is tough, especially if you haven't been friends with somebody with it, and taking the contrary role of the person in charge is equally as difficult and must be able to empathise again, this time with BOTH characters, the understanding of his situation and his ability to cope with rain man, also I cry every time.
Hoffman and Cruise worked together developing this script and the relationship between the two characters for two years prior to filming. The effort and thought and care behind it is so evident on the screen.
I never thought it was funny, just interesting. Hoffman can portray a severely autistic man perfectly without being offensive. As someone who is autistic but not bady I went to a school with many people who where severely mentally impaired, i loved his performance.
I’m only in my early 20s so a lot of the older greats I’ve yet to see, I’m with you on that I think I’ll order this right now it looks fantastic. Any suggestions from anyone watching would be awesome! I’ve also not seen Goodfellas nor Casino, odd since I grew up near the mob in the Bronx NYC. Cheers, mate.
"cause u can't tell me you're not in there somewhere". Such a true thought when you see a family member or someone you care about who has autism. It frustrates you so much for them. People think it's being mean, but in reality it's because we feel hopeless to help that person.
You forgot about the scene where Charlie's girlfriend accuses him of using Raymond. " Raymond, am I using you? Am I using you Raymond?" "Yeah" "Shut up! He's answering a question from thirty minutes ago!"
I always heard the name "Rain-Man" on some occasions, but no one ever clarified what RainMan was. So for the longest time I thought it was a movie about a trench-coat guy who battles street thugs in the rain. Now I'm learning that it's a...comedy drama about an autistic man and his brother on a road trip? Jeez not what I was expecting at all. I sure hope my guess about Watchmen being about a trench-coat guy who stalks and battles street thugs is true.
The neurotypical character is greedy, rude, aggressive, and has multiple meltdowns in this short video. Yet he is supposedly normal? On another note, the scene where Raymond counts tooth picks by looking at them was based on the first man who was diagnosed with autism. He later said that he didn't have the ability to immediately count things by looking at them. He just guessed once when some teens his age asked him and went with it when they believed him because he wanted to be accepted by his peers.
If the scenes shown are what Ray was usually like (haven’t seen the show sorry) then Tom Cruise’s character is actually reacting pretty normally. I myself have been in a position where I had to help care for someone with a brain disease. Corticobasal Degeneration is a rare disease which first attacks the part of the brain responsible for coordination, and then spreads to other areas of the brain. It’s kind of like reverse Alzheimer’s. My grandpa had it, and my dad and I had to care for him. At times he actually did act like Ray in some of these clips, and my dad and I both ended up reacting like the other character. Was it a good reaction? No. Was it really condemnable? Hell no. That’s why working in a nursing home takes a very special person with a LOT of patience
Charlie was rude and greedy but being with Ray helped him to become better. Also, the whole character of Ray was based off a real savant, Kim Peek. He was amazing; you guys should look him up. :) ~:~
The sad part about this movie is that Ray's conversation topics are constantly more interesting than whatever else is happening in the scene but he gets cut off
Me as an autistic kid also yelled and got pissed of another infantil kid who just did the same things and annoyed me because it was the way to make give him attention. But 10 Years later I feel so bad him but we were after I apologized to him
"97X...BAM the future of rock'n' roll. LOL! How irritating would that get? I know he's an a autistic savant, but I can understand Charlie's impatience.
Such a great film!! I heard that Dustin Hoffman went to a few places to study about Autism and how it effects people’s mannerisms, and he did so incredible with this role! He deserved this Oscar💯
Tom Cruise should have won an Oscar for his work in this film. He was Perfect in this role! I hope he wins an Oscar for Top Gun Maverick. He really deserves it for all his Amazing work over the years❤️
I didn't do so well when I had an assignment with an autistic child. A lot to learn and I needed a lot.of patience. I couldn't and I still can't do it. I'm here to argue for them so they can have help in social situations and hopefully we can find dedicated people to assist them in their daily lives. After I left the assignment I was so happy but once I learned about the disability I felt like Cruise did when he came to the realization that his brother would be in better care with a specialist and that he loved him so much he had to let him go. I think about how happy special kids are to be alive and to learn and to experience. That feeling came just recently when GOD made me competent and took away my selfishness. I really hope that these men and women can receive the attention they need so that they can experience all the adventures life has to offer.
Whenever My Mother and I used to watch this, "It is underwear wherever you buy it"..."K-Mart!!!" Lmao. She couldn't wait for that. Damn good memories. R.i.p. Liz.
I remember maybe two years after I watch this, a news report of Quantas crashing, and I was thinking, uh oh, Rain Man is definitely won't get in to any plane now.
LOL I love Charlie's reaction at 5:54 when Dustin Hoffman farted. He's stressed, talking about urgent business problems, with a noisy autistic brother murmuring nonsense, and he's in a cramped telephone booth that reeks of fart stink... "How can you stand that, huh? How can you stand that..." The tone and delivery of the line is a mix of screaming internally, going "kill me now", being dead inside and just straight up giving up.
I'm the oldest of 4 (28 years old) and my brother (19 years old) is on the spectrum. It's been a challenge especially in his younger years. Between me and our two sisters, we've taught him social norms and the doctors told our parents that if he was an only child, he'd be a nightmare. Honestly he's one of the best things to happen to me in my life
I saw a list of movies that should be remade or have a sequel and this film is definitely one that should. The amazing thing is that both actors don't look much older then they did back in 1988.
My name is Dustin and my father's name is Tom. He has severe Aspergers, and I never knew until my mid 30's. Our fights were so bad, that we have not spoken in years. I'd watch this movie over and over as a kid, and I became the hot tempered Tom Cruise. This movie is like my life.
And I'm sure it wasn't funny to those airlines! They used real statistics :/ Since Rainman, Qantas has had no fatalities. That’s 68 years fatality-free :)
my life every day with a kid i work with... i love him to death but he pisses me off sometimes to no end. Wouldn't trade the shit head for anything in the world..
Can't wait until people find out that he was always there since birth, his brain was just made that way, and you cannot change its structure no matter how loud you scream. Just shut up, calm down, understand, no, we are not trolling you, just listen and understand us for once.
5:10-5:18 is the turning point of the movie, which is my absolute favorite. It is every bit as much about Charlie as it is about Raymond. Initially, Charlie is this hot-headed, self-centered, abusive jackass. Then, as he builds a connection with Raymond, he comes out of his own different shell. He learns through it all that as someone once said, the best things in life aren't things.
As a father with a son with autism, this was the first ever realization in film of autism. And brilliant performances. But Tom now believes that autism doesn't exist. Scientology makes people feel great, if they are lonely, helpless, and alone. Can Scientology help my little man?
I'm pretty young, so my advice might not be the most reliable, but I'll try my best. Apparently, the reason Tom believes so fervently in Scientology is because it helped him overcome dyslexia, but when I looked it up, the beliefs of Scientologists seemed kind out out-there and far-fetched to me. I'd try to find out more about it before making that decision, as well as probably asking for your son's input as to whether he wants it. I would also look up other available ways to help your little man as well, because so many people are saying that Scientology is dangerous, and while I'm not so sure of that myself, I'd recommend other available means before reverting to a method that may or may not be risky. Hopefully this helps.
I have a brother and a cousin with Autism, also a boy in my class is Autistic. I'm not trying to push you and your son into anything, but we are Christians. We used to go to a Baptist church, but they were rude to us, we soon went to a Methodist church and my whole family is love and accepted, Autistic or not.
André Hatlevik I never said ye did anything bad because your religion said to do it. I said, only that Christianity was a cult. The evidence is overwhelming.
Dustin Hoffmann is so good I thought he was really autistic.
Lol. He did do good in this movie
He is a great actor
That was way before he played Master Shifu from Kung Fu Panda 20 years later. And 9 years after he starred in Kramer vs. Kramer.
that’s because he was autustic lmao
i’m not joking
they did like a vaccine thing or something and it made him autustic
I thought just the complete opposite. I felt they should have found an talented actor that wasn't well known and I think it would have been much more realistic. It took me forever watching this movie before I stopped thinking, "look, there's Dustin Hoffman playing an autistic dude." Overall though, it's a fine movie and one of Tom Cruise's better performances.

Hoffman and Cruise worked together developing this script and the relationship between the two characters for two years prior to filming. The effort and thought and care behind it is so evident on the screen.
Tom was a very good looking and very dynamic actor in the 80s and 90s people forget.
@Bill Patrick Jones he's just a good looking fella period
Keyword "was."
everytime Dustin says "uh-oh", I laugh and cry a little inside. "Uh-oh, put your shorts in the highway" XD
I never thought it was funny, just interesting. Hoffman can portray a severely autistic man perfectly without being offensive. As someone who is autistic but not bady I went to a school with many people who where severely mentally impaired, i loved his performance.
32 years, and I’ve still not seen this picture. They’re both so goddamned good. I think it’s high time.
I’m only in my early 20s so a lot of the older greats I’ve yet to see, I’m with you on that I think I’ll order this right now it looks fantastic.
Any suggestions from anyone watching would be awesome! I’ve also not seen Goodfellas nor Casino, odd since I grew up near the mob in the Bronx NYC. Cheers, mate.
@@COMPL3XGAM3R A Bronx Tale , Donnie Brasco, Jack the Bear ....
"cause u can't tell me you're not in there somewhere". Such a true thought when you see a family member or someone you care about who has autism. It frustrates you so much for them. People think it's being mean, but in reality it's because we feel hopeless to help that person.
You forgot about the scene where Charlie's girlfriend accuses him of using Raymond. " Raymond, am I using you? Am I using you Raymond?" "Yeah" "Shut up! He's answering a question from thirty minutes ago!"
Cruise gave the ultimate performance of fed-up and pissed-off.
I always heard the name "Rain-Man" on some occasions, but no one ever clarified what RainMan was. So for the longest time I thought it was a movie about a trench-coat guy who battles street thugs in the rain.
Now I'm learning that it's a...comedy drama about an autistic man and his brother on a road trip?
Jeez not what I was expecting at all.
I sure hope my guess about Watchmen being about a trench-coat guy who stalks and battles street thugs is true.
No it's about a group of watches who watches men
Research rain main in hiphop symbolism it’s very very very dark, hopefully you can even still find it.
It's actually the devil behind selling your soul in the music industry
That’s unbreakable hahaha
Best road movie of all time, personally to me.
"Uh oh!! Your shorts are on the highway." LOL. I love when he says that. ♥
The neurotypical character is greedy, rude, aggressive, and has multiple meltdowns in this short video. Yet he is supposedly normal?
On another note, the scene where Raymond counts tooth picks by looking at them was based on the first man who was diagnosed with autism. He later said that he didn't have the ability to immediately count things by looking at them. He just guessed once when some teens his age asked him and went with it when they believed him because he wanted to be accepted by his peers.
But then How Ray was so good at calculations?
If the scenes shown are what Ray was usually like (haven’t seen the show sorry) then Tom Cruise’s character is actually reacting pretty normally. I myself have been in a position where I had to help care for someone with a brain disease. Corticobasal Degeneration is a rare disease which first attacks the part of the brain responsible for coordination, and then spreads to other areas of the brain. It’s kind of like reverse Alzheimer’s. My grandpa had it, and my dad and I had to care for him. At times he actually did act like Ray in some of these clips, and my dad and I both ended up reacting like the other character. Was it a good reaction? No. Was it really condemnable? Hell no. That’s why working in a nursing home takes a very special person with a LOT of patience
Charlie was rude and greedy but being with Ray helped him to become better. Also, the whole character of Ray was based off a real savant, Kim Peek. He was amazing; you guys should look him up. :)
~:~
Natalie Harshman and the weird thing is that Kim isn’t even autistic. He is thought to have had fg syndrome.
I made a film about autism myself, i hope you like it: th-cam.com/video/dr4bX8qmed0/w-d-xo.html
I love this movie!!! Dustin Hoffman deserved the Oscar!!!
The sad part about this movie is that Ray's conversation topics are constantly more interesting than whatever else is happening in the scene but he gets cut off
I keep thinking he's covered in bloody wounds at 0:04.
"YOU NEVER, EVER TOUCH THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN I'M DRIVING! DO YOU HEAR ME??"
"Of course I don't have my underwear."
Lmfao
YOU NEVER ASSAULT A HANDICAP PERSON, CHARLIE!! NEVER, EVER...
ray, DID YOU FUCKEN HERE WHAT I SAID! SHUUT UP!!!!!"" Ahahah I laugh at that part Everytime
Me, too. Tom Cruise SLAYED me in this movie. He was sorely overlooked in this: I couldn't take my eyes off him.
Rohan Zener Actually both are correct. I just thought slay had more intensity for the moment.
Me too
Me as an autistic kid also yelled and got pissed of another infantil kid who just did the same things and annoyed me because it was the way to make give him attention. But 10 Years later I feel so bad him but we were after I apologized to him
😂😂😂
400 Oak Street in Cincinatti was the address of the hotel where the film crew stayed.
Dustin Hoffman sounds like Peter Griffin in this.
IM NOT THE ONLY ONE 😂😂😂
Omfg I die when I hear ray taking about how it’ll be “too late” once the pancakes arrive. It sounds so morbid lol
Tom Cruise's performance in this film is just as fantastic as Hoffman's.
"97X...BAM the future of rock'n' roll. LOL! How irritating would that get? I know he's an a autistic savant, but I can understand Charlie's impatience.
Try taking care of people like this for a living and then you'll understand Charlie's frustration I did it for 10 years
Brett Pendleton I’d lose my mind
Ya I know everyday all day hearing the same thing over and over and sometimes not words just noises
@@brett_84 geez. God bless you. You guardians are angels literally
Uh-ohh?
v.e.r.n.
what's happenin holmes!?
"I don't mind it."
This movie still makes me cry as how beautiful it is played by both men
🙏
'quantas never crashed', they just have all the engine failures, lol. Awesome movie. Hoffman's acting is amazing
This is one of my favorites, definitely, definitely one of my favorites.
Such a great film!! I heard that Dustin Hoffman went to a few places to study about Autism and how it effects people’s mannerisms, and he did so incredible with this role! He deserved this Oscar💯
Tom Cruise should have won an Oscar for his work in this film. He was Perfect in this role! I hope he wins an Oscar for Top Gun Maverick. He really deserves it for all his Amazing work over the years❤️
Amazing in top gun
still wondering why Tom Cruise hasn't win an oscar yet...
MB8 assholes are jeolous of Tom Cruise
MB8 all’s he ever does is the same action roll in every movie nowadays
To be fair he won a golden globe for his role in Magnolia.
hes a white male
@@scouser2010ify he can play any role. One of the greatest actor's
Hoffman did such a great job on this roll. He was doing Tootsie about the same time too
THIS WAS AND STILL IS SUCH A GREAT MOVIE... TALKS ABOUT A TOPIC THAT WAS BARELY RECOGNIZED BACK THEN ... HATS OFF TO BOTH ROLES ❤️🤞🏻☺️
"You never never touch this steering wheel when I'm driving!"
"Of course I don't have my underwear."
I was born in 1998 and i love this movie still today.
Love this movie. I have a son with Autism. This movie helped so much with understanding!
underwear is underwear... the best
Fuck off!
K-mart!
I've never seen a guy who can get into his character like Dustin Hoffman
Justin Credible Fantasy: Neither have I.
I love how he says definitely
Yet more reasons Dustin Hoffman is my favorite actor!
Tom Cruise = Mario
Dustin Hoffman = Jeffy
5:08 cruise sounds like a woman
I read this comment at the right moment
Doppler effect
I didn't do so well when I had an assignment with an autistic child. A lot to learn and I needed a lot.of patience. I couldn't and I still can't do it. I'm here to argue for them so they can have help in social situations and hopefully we can find dedicated people to assist them in their daily lives. After I left the assignment I was so happy but once I learned about the disability I felt like Cruise did when he came to the realization that his brother would be in better care with a specialist and that he loved him so much he had to let him go. I think about how happy special kids are to be alive and to learn and to experience. That feeling came just recently when GOD made me competent and took away my selfishness. I really hope that these men and women can receive the attention they need so that they can experience all the adventures life has to offer.
You sound so self absorbed you poor thing
@Per Capita of course but this particularly saturated.
Charlie: Yelling his head off
Ray: 5:10 lol 😂
Whenever My Mother and I used to watch this, "It is underwear wherever you buy it"..."K-Mart!!!" Lmao. She couldn't wait for that. Damn good memories. R.i.p. Liz.
God bless your mother. She sounded like a beautiful soul. I bet she’s in heaven looking forward to seeing you. God bless you my friend (:
I remember maybe two years after I watch this, a news report of Quantas crashing, and I was thinking, uh oh, Rain Man is definitely won't get in to any plane now.
Nope, Qantas still didn't have any fatal crashes
97x bam makes me crack the fuck up. I can tell it the way the radio guy said it blew his mind lol
UH OH...FART...FART LOL
Mike Deluca
Did you fart, Ray? Did you fuckin' fart?
How do you stand that, Ray?
"I don't mind it."
Girth Brooks LOL!!!FUCKIN CLASSIC!!!
Mike Deluca
The best scene. :)
Have watched hundreds of movies but this is one of those that are unforgettable.
wicked acting from both actors lol
LOL I love Charlie's reaction at 5:54 when Dustin Hoffman farted. He's stressed, talking about urgent business problems, with a noisy autistic brother murmuring nonsense, and he's in a cramped telephone booth that reeks of fart stink...
"How can you stand that, huh? How can you stand that..."
The tone and delivery of the line is a mix of screaming internally, going "kill me now", being dead inside and just straight up giving up.
97X... Bammmmm the future of Rock & Roll
I'm the oldest of 4 (28 years old) and my brother (19 years old) is on the spectrum. It's been a challenge especially in his younger years. Between me and our two sisters, we've taught him social norms and the doctors told our parents that if he was an only child, he'd be a nightmare. Honestly he's one of the best things to happen to me in my life
Love the bit of them coming down the escalator they look so clean and cool!
I saw a list of movies that should be remade or have a sequel and this film is definitely one that should. The amazing thing is that both actors don't look much older then they did back in 1988.
K-Mart Sucks...
he seems to recommend them
I don't have my underwear
“Uh oh! Cour-corse your shorts are on the highway, now.”
😂😂Kills me every time
My name is Dustin and my father's name is Tom. He has severe Aspergers, and I never knew until my mid 30's. Our fights were so bad, that we have not spoken in years. I'd watch this movie over and over as a kid, and I became the hot tempered Tom Cruise. This movie is like my life.
the airport scene isn't really funny. It's rather dramatic.
Florentin Rekier it says best scenes not funniest scenes
It’s how autistic people act
And I'm sure it wasn't funny to those airlines! They used real statistics :/ Since Rainman, Qantas has had no fatalities. That’s 68 years fatality-free :)
There is actually nothing wrong with Hoffman's character, that's just how people from Cincinnati act.
😜😜😜
This was a great video compilation. Some of these scenes had me cracking up. I also enjoyed the "It said don't walk" town scene.
5:13 is the best part by far. Tom cruise screaming and then ya just hear a subtle 'Kmart' . CLASSIC
my life every day with a kid i work with... i love him to death but he pisses me off sometimes to no end. Wouldn't trade the shit head for anything in the world..
Just because someone has a disability doesn't mean you dont get cross with them
Blvdshagnasty69 this is how most stay at home moms with toddlers feel.
Well said. The hand that offers love, must oftentimes, shake the hand of frustration
God bless you
Finally, he thought brotherhood more important than money
Can't wait until people find out that he was always there since birth, his brain was just made that way, and you cannot change its structure no matter how loud you scream. Just shut up, calm down, understand, no, we are not trolling you, just listen and understand us for once.
Olliever Buchanan i feel you girl,they should at least once be in our lives😞......
5:10-5:18 is the turning point of the movie, which is my absolute favorite. It is every bit as much about Charlie as it is about Raymond. Initially, Charlie is this hot-headed, self-centered, abusive jackass. Then, as he builds a connection with Raymond, he comes out of his own different shell. He learns through it all that as someone once said, the best things in life aren't things.
R.I.P Kim Peek, the legend.
"....boxer shorts....KMART....KMART" Raymond sunning him lmao
As a father with a son with autism, this was the first ever realization in film of autism. And brilliant performances. But Tom now believes that autism doesn't exist. Scientology makes people feel great, if they are lonely, helpless, and alone. Can Scientology help my little man?
I'm pretty young, so my advice might not be the most reliable, but I'll try my best.
Apparently, the reason Tom believes so fervently in Scientology is because it helped him overcome dyslexia, but when I looked it up, the beliefs of Scientologists seemed kind out out-there and far-fetched to me. I'd try to find out more about it before making that decision, as well as probably asking for your son's input as to whether he wants it. I would also look up other available ways to help your little man as well, because so many people are saying that Scientology is dangerous, and while I'm not so sure of that myself, I'd recommend other available means before reverting to a method that may or may not be risky.
Hopefully this helps.
Sanford is a dick; Raymond's autism occured because Sanford imprisoned him at Wallbrook in the first place.
I have a brother and a cousin with Autism, also a boy in my class is Autistic. I'm not trying to push you and your son into anything, but we are Christians. We used to go to a Baptist church, but they were rude to us, we soon went to a Methodist church and my whole family is love and accepted, Autistic or not.
***** Christianity and Scientology have that in common; they are *cults*.
André Hatlevik I never said ye did anything bad because your religion said to do it. I said, only that Christianity was a cult. The evidence is overwhelming.
Why can't a single actor accurately portray driving, constantly making huge adjustments to the steering wheel while on a straight road
2:39 lool that glitch over his eye makes him look lik the terminator
"Of course when they bring maple syrup after the pancakes it'll definitely be too late."
"How is that going to be too late huh? Ray?"
I fucking love this movie best Hoffman and cruise movie ever
Ultimate bro movie. This and Prison Break will forever have a place in my heart. I just wish I had a brother that am close with. Lovey this...
Lol when he farted in the telephone booth.
"I don't have my underwear"
...

...
"WHAT?"
Of course this movie was brilliant.
