Hans' music really set the tension and terror of the scene as Ray is panicking and Charlie is frantically trying to stop the alarm and calm his brother down at the same time.
This scene is so bittersweet. Charlie loves his brother and will do anything to make him feel comfortable, but the alarm is out of his control and Raymond can't be left alone. Charlie realizes that he cannot live a "normal" life with Raymond, and has to resort to having Raymond go back to assisted living.
@@Ilikelink His meeting with the doctors happens recently after this scene. At that point, he knows what has to happen, but is still coming to terms with it.
@@migfirei despise the fact people say rain man somehow mocks the autistic. People with extremely high functioning autism,.to the point where they even understand they have it, shouldn't criticiae the film. Because raymond is an extremely high funtioning autistic person. When the consider the reality of most autistics, it cant be a negative stereotype
Fun fact, I used to react the same way when the smoke alarm went off, now with desensitity training I have a collection, including one exactly like the unit shown.
My friend has autism, he doesn't like loud noises, he's very sensitive, he always covers his ears, I've once ' seen him doing the same thing Ray did, bang his head against a wall
For regular people to imagine, think of someone blowing leaves outside your window at 7:00 am on Saturday morning... for HOURS. This is the level of agitation that can be caused to certain people, by particular noises. It _is_ enough to make you want to bang your head against a wall... to do anything to distract yourself from the torture.
This scene really scares me Even in real life, when an a fire alarm goes off, when I see someone going into an autism meltdown, that really gets me frightened for life, although I have a friend who has autism, loud noises trigger him and make him go into a really bad autism meltdown, I'm always there to help him and calm him down, I know how it feels. (I once worked in a special needs school)
Not really, these had hinged covers so all that happened is it unsnapped from the base. It could be put back on without a problem. Of course the real problem is in that in the actual alarm the battery connects directly to the circuit board not by wires. Of course this was written with the general public in mind, not myself and a few others who have interests in smoke alarms.
phil licitra Chill dude. I get the scene, I know he’s supposed to be helpless. But in reality food doesn’t burn that fast. That’s my point. Have a nice day.
I'm wondering if there is more to this scene. I'm wondering too why he couldn't get the oven open other than maybe it had a child lock on it. Also, a toaster oven does not burn up that fast when nothing's in it, so there must've been something in that oven that wasn't supposed to be there.
Argh! This is why I don't like child resistant locks on appliances. I know it's necessary, but I want to be able to remove the varmint when it's not needed. I can only imagine how he felt. Kitchen hardware can be menacing to anyone even on a good day, so imagine what it's like for someone with these types of disabilities. :-(
This scene is so relatable to me. The only significant difference is that my smoke alarm was the vibrating horn type. When it went off, I would have the same reaction.
I have misophonia so shrill noises such as fire alarms or even an old style digital watch beeping really elevates my blood pressure, and I can feel "fight or flight" start kicking in.

I love at 1:01 when Charlie quickly wakes up and runs to help Ray. :')
I used to live in that house when I lived in LA, and that was my bedroom...1599 Sunset Plaza Drive.
Yeah I think this is when he really starts to care for him for once.

Except that after this scene, he still tries to get custody of his brother.

@@patriceaqa288rainman isn’t autistic. He has something called savant syndrome
0:53 That's exactly how I felt when the fire alarm goes off at school
Im autistic. I dont do appliances
@@gregwatson8219 I know how you feel, I have the same
This scene shows why Raymond needs to go back to wall brook.

Same but for me it was school alarm bells
R.I.P. Fire Alarm
My nephew has autism and he hates noises. He does cover his ears but never have I seen him bang his head against a wall.
I recently made a film about autism. I hope you like it!th-cam.com/video/dr4bX8qmed0/w-d-xo.html

@@guypeate3628 luckily he got passed that ordeal, it's kind of why some of those with autism need supervision.

Yeah autistic people have hyper sensitivity to noises which causes them distress
This scene always hurts to watch
This scene broke me

I’m autistic and used to freak out when the fire alarm went off at school
1:53 is when Charlie finally accepts that it’s not going to work.
Blew my mind this film my all time fave hilarious at times
0:47 First Alert 1st generation SA67D yay
Heh, only people with Autism tend to notice these details.
I love old first alerts. This one is special.
@@Aranimda I am not autistic
1:17 When your afraid and really triggered
😨
Lol Charlie was too short to reach the smoke alarm so he had to break it 😂

There’s no way the waffles could’ve burned that quickly
ASSHOLE THE POINT OF THE SCENE IS THAT HE WAS HELPLESS IN THE SITUATION AND COULD NOT BE LEFT ALONE NOT HOW LONG IT TOOK WAFFLES TO BURN DUMBASS
phil licitra Chill dude. I get the scene, I know he’s supposed to be helpless. But in reality food doesn’t burn that fast. That’s my point. Have a nice day.
@@SuperPhilly5 chill boi
He never put any waffles in it. He turns it on but couldn't get the door open. The heat cooking nothing burnt up the machine causing the smoke.
I'm wondering if there is more to this scene. I'm wondering too why he couldn't get the oven open other than maybe it had a child lock on it. Also, a toaster oven does not burn up that fast when nothing's in it, so there must've been something in that oven that wasn't supposed to be there.
I first saw this scene, and I froze!
Emergency1996 me to
Watching this scene just breaks my heart and soul
He was trying to make some pancakes
the end when he sits down he realises then he cant look after raymond 💔
🥶
That's my favourite film of all time so it is
I can relate. Been there too many times with my own autism.
Charlie boy after all that should realise that fish are not the only thing on the menu...
WHAT????

The door was locked, if it was a real fire, then you would deffinately need to get out.
"let him cook"
Conditioning, what happens to us when we turn on the news.
Uh, oh fire.....
HAHAHA, best scene in the whole dayum movie!
Pretty intense if you ask me

I love this funniest scene so I do
Ok so he turned the toaster oven on and it starts smoking with nothing in it ????? What a piece of crap
There was probably residue in it from whatever he made in it last.
If you leave a toaster oven on, it will eventually start burning all of the crumbs that have been left inside. Then, they start to smoke.
If there is a build up of crumbs and possibly oils as well, it will start smoking something nasty
London system players when I play a reverse polish
Not a good endorsement for smoke detectors.
There are 448 toothpicks..yeah 448
There's 52 left in the box. 52 in the box makes 448.
246
Lol or was it 463 I can't remember because this movie is stupid
