Rain Man Review
Rain Man ranks among the most popular films of the late 1980s, owing to a fine screenplay by Ron_Bass and a spectacular performance by Dustin_Hoffman in the title role. The film combines two of Hollywood's most successful formulas -- the "fish-out-of-water" story and the "unlikely buddies" picture, and there's even a touch of the old "rotten guy learns to be unselfish" twist added for texture. While such a film could have been typical big studio product, director Barry_Levinson managed to find depth in the developing relationship between Hoffman's autistic adult character and the selfish, greedy character played by co-star Tom_Cruise. Hoffman, Levinson, and Bass took home Oscars for Rain Man, as did the film itself for Best Picture. Richard Gilliam, Rovi
