I bought this DVD on Saterday & recieved it in the mail on Friday. I thought I was buying a used DVD but this one seemed New & still had the plastic over it like a new one usually does. This pleased me because I only paid close to three dollars plus shipping. I'm very pleased with this product.
September 29, 2008 |  | Great Movie With A Decent Depiction Of A Person With A Disability |  |
RAIN MAN is an excellent film that came out in 1988 when autism was relatively unknown. Though no one person on the autism spectrum is likely to exhibit all the traits Raymond Babbitt does Dustin Hoffman's portrayal of him is humane and relatively accurate. Tom Cruise is also excellent as Raymond's handsome self absorbed brother, Charlie, and I had almost forgotten what an appealing actor Cruise was as a young man. The plot is not too realistic but the movie is so well acted and the setting as the two men drive from Cincinnati to LA so well realized that it is difficult not to be absorbed in this good hearted film with a message.
August 16, 2008I'm a big fan of Dustin Hoffman and the part he played in this movie was one of his best characters. I can watch this movie over and over and it still brings tears to my eyes.

The one star is provided for the portrayal of autism's essential awkwardness.
However, it's only one star. The film exasperates me, disabled also, by perpetuating the syrupy sentimentality that disability carries some compensating ability - here (as usual) mathematical genius. Nature's not like that, sorry to say. What you're good at, you're good at, disabled or not. I specialised in languages because I love language, not because I have epilepsy. Yet, more and more this nonsense is ground out. Cases of the idiot savant are certainly known, but they're extremely rare. Parents and family who believe films like this (and e.g. A Beautiful Mind) are almost certain to be disappointed. Disabiled people aren't somehow inspired. They/we are just doing what we could do anyway. Can we please be a bit more realistic?
June 19, 2008I love this movie! I had bought this as a gift for a friend because I couldn't find it in any stores around here. I ordered it online and what do you know, they have it in the $5 bin at Target. I was a bit upset with the price, but I'll survive I guess. LOL
