You should watch some of Hoffman's GOOD movies...He became a star in The Graduate and gave amazing performances in Midnight Cowboy and Little Big Man. Before Rain Man, he was delightful in the romantic cross-dressing comedy Tootsie. I know the newer movies get the most views, but if you want to see really awesome US movies, you need to take a chance on older ones, at least occasionally.

[@Salieri21]

You should definitely react to the classic movie Amadeus.

[@nooneofconsequence1251]

@@flarrfan Hook might be panned by a lot of critics, but personally I thought it was a good movie and Hoffman delivers a wonderful performance in it. Rain Man is also easily among his best. Honestly I think Hoffman's performances in those two exceed the ones you named (though I've never seen Little Big Man, unless that's the one with the Wayans brothers in it?) Seen all the others. Also, older US movies weren't any better. We've just forgotten about most of the really bad ones. And the ones we remember are frequently overrated. But, uh, yeah... 1959 gave us Ben-Hur... and it also gave us Plan 9 From Outer Space. Great movies are still being made. More than ever before. In addition to there just being more movies made, the artform continues to progress, evolve, and grow... it's not like every movie that comes out today is the Fast & the Furious. (but even those crappy movies are superior to many of the car chase films of the 50s, 60s, and 70s...)

[@vandergrad]

This movie is very near and dear to my heart. I work at an autism agency founded by Dr. Ruth Sullivan, who was a technical advisor on the film. She was one of the early parent-warriors for kids with ASD and her son Joseph was one of the models Dustin Hoffman studied to develop his character. While, by today's standards, Rain Man depicts a very narrow understanding of autism, at the time it came out most people had never even heard the word. The scene where the nurse in the medical facility misunderstands and asks "He's artistic?" was taken directly from Ruth's personal experiences. In public presentations, she often spoke about how this movie did so very much to start open conversations about ASD and how it gave a big boost to the movement of getting direct services for special needs kids of all types. Hoffman and Cruise's amazing performances should forever be credited with giving people all over the world a compassionate view of mental divergencies.

[@sharpgirl72]

Thank you for this I'm going to go look up dr. Ruth Sullivan and read more about her. My son is twelve going on thirteen he is on the spectrum and has tourette's as well. It's quite an adventure being his Mama.

[@mikewhite6138]

Connecting Dustin Hoffman from this to Hook is a wild pull that you should be 100% proud of.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Thanks, but I should have remembered him as Shifu from Kung Fu Panda too.

[@FrancisXLord]

That was Dustin Hoffman, Captain Hook himself, and he won the Best Actor Oscar for this role. His second, after Kramer vs Kramer, having been nominated no less than 7 times throughout his illustrious career. Highlights include The Graduate (1967), Midnight Cowboy (1969) and Tootsie (1982) - all good suggestions to react to.

[@vincegamer]

Don't forget Little Big Man

[@americanfreedomlogistics9984]

[@DaleKingProfile]

This was the first exposure many people at the time had to autism, but it was a double edged sword in that it showed a very specific type of autism and many people just assumed that autistic people had amazing abilities like Raymond when there is an entire spectrum and autistic savant is on one extreme of the spectrum.

[@EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

Trivia for James, as well as anyone who doesn't know or is just interested: 1. "Rain Man" won 4 Oscars in 1988 - Best Picture, Best Director (Barry Levinson), Best Actor (Dustin Hoffman), and Best Original Screenplay (Ron Bass and Barry Morrow). Also nominated for Art Direction (now called Production Design, or best sets), Cinematography, Editing, and Original Score. 2. Director Barry Levinson is the same director who did "Good Morning, Vietnam." He plays the psychiatrist at the end who tries to determine whether Ray should stay with Charlie or not. According to him, he would improvise frequently, because he wanted Tom Cruise to be edgy in the scene. 3. Rain Man was the last film until 2021 released by MGM Studios to be nominated for Best Picture. That 2021 film that was nominated is called "Licorice Pizza." 4. If I remember correctly, Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise's roles were reversed, with Cruise playing the autistic brother. But Dustin Hoffman asked if he could play Raymond after meeting with several autistic savants, as well as seeing another man with cerebral palsy play a piano concerto. 5. Real life brothers Dennis and Randy Quaid were considered for the roles of Raymond and Charlie. Bill Murray was also considered for the role, and Mel Gibson (Riggs in Lethal Weapon) was offered the role, but said no. 6. Raymond talks how he memorized to "G", and mentions the names William and Marsha Gottsegen. Those are Dustin Hoffman's real life parents-in-law. The waitress in that scene is Bonnie Hunt, who was Tom Hanks' character's wife in The Green Mile. 7. At the Oscars that year, Dustin Hoffman beat out Gene Hackman (Lex Luthor in Superman and the blind man in Young Frankenstein) for Best Actor. They had been roommates in the 1960s when they were first starting out. Also nominated that year was Tom Hanks for "Big." 8. Ray-Ban sunglasses saw a 15% increase in sales after Tom Cruise wore them in the movie.

[@donjackson5522]

Raymond wouldn’t let Charlie drive on the interstate. So not knowing which way to go, Charlie probably took Route 66, which goes from Illinois down to Texas before turning west to California.

[@downunderveggiegardendiaries]

If you think about it…the Father probably left Charlie alone with Raymond after his wife died to go to work. Because Raymond was prob at least 17yrs old in that photo with 2 year old Charlie on his lap. When their Mother was alive and for the previous 15yrs or whatever he was allowed to stay at home. But without the Mother there he became a danger to himself and his little brother. He probably was ashamed that he put him in a home so didn’t tell Charlie about him, but did go himself to visit and sent him presents. I wonder what Raymond thought about not seeing his little brother ever again, he probably thought he was being punished for hurting him and wasn’t allowed to be near him again.

[@libertyresearch-iu4fy]

I always think about what the father said in his will: '... has left me without a son.' I get the impression the father is not a very good man, and that he did not know how to deal with either son.

[@yournamehere6002]

I always find it fascinating how a movie from the 80's is considered "slow", which just shows how people's attention spans have shortened drastically due to the ceaseless distractions of the internet/cell phone age.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Maybe

[@dunbardunelm3924]

1000%.

[@hayleyferguson3346]

Yes, growing up in the 80s this film was considered normally paced. Now I find movies way too fast and overstimulating , haha.

[@JacobG093]

That IS Captain Hook! Dustin Hoffman a legend ❤

[@micheletrainor1601]

The fart in the phone booth was actually real but as Dustin stayed in character so did Tom the director absolutely loved it and keept it in . A great scene in an absolutely amazing movie like no other I have ever seen before or since . It's just beautiful piece of work

[@jbmopar1971]

Rainman was based on a real person. Kim Peek, and he was a savant. He could read a book left eye reading left page, right eye reading the right page and his mind could put the story together. And could really recall anything he read. Fascinating.

[@bobaagard]

Rain man was NOT based on Kim Peek’s life. Rather, Dustin Hoffman spent time with Kim Peek to learn his mannerisms, and a few things that Kim did made their way into the movie, such as when he recites the waitress’s address and phone number after reading the phone directory. Later in his life, I saw Kim get very upset at people who said the movie was based on him.

[@jbmopar1971]

@@bobaagard who said based on his life? This is just random movie info for James and whoever, thats it calm down

[@bebop_557]

You actually missed a crucial part: Raymond didn't burn Charlie. The bath water was too hot and too full, Charlie was too young (a baby almost) and fell in. Raymond didn't burn Charlie, Raymond saved him. But due to his autism, was unable to articulate this to his father and Charlie was a baby at the time and unable to talk. The dad thought Raymond burned Charlie as a result of this, when Raymond saved him. That's why Raymond freaked out when he saw the hot bath.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

No, I understood the situation. I think the edit didn't clarify it well.

[@bebop_557]

@@AwesomeUSMovies Ahhh, alright. I do like how the movie went about it, instead of flat out telling the audience. The answer Raymond gave Charlie is almost certainly the same answer Raymond also gave his father.

[@shallowgal462]

40 years? Lol! He was 26 years old, which means he'd left home 10 years before. But still, yeah, he cut his dad off. I recommend Dustin Hoffman to you for Tootsie, you already saw him as Hook, and I hope you'll also watch him in Meet the Fockers. He and Al Pacino were also supporting players in Dick Tracy, starring Warren Beatty and Madonna. The waitress in the diner with the toothpicks is one of the leads in Jumanji with Robin Williams and Kirsten Dunst. I've never been to an airport, but I remember the TVs in the seats at the bus station. I miss $20 for a nice motel room. I _really_ miss that! Sinatra died 10 years after the movie. This made me cry again. I saw the movie a few days ago, and this still made me cry.

[@shainewhite2781]

Winner of 4 Oscars including Best Picture. I'm on the autism spectrum myself, high functioning. This movie is an accurate portrait of autism.

[@EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

Same here.

[@ifeelpretty5790]

Same. I also have a relative, with autism similar to Raymond, whose family went to see the movie in the theater when it first came out and they said when Raymond was dancing in front of the TV (right before the fire alarm) it was like watching this relative 😊 Dustin Hoffman really nailed the portrayal of this specific autism, especially in a time when autism wasn’t as known or understood as well it is now.

[@Mr.NoName1972]

"V-E-R-N, K-Mart Sucks, and of course I'm an excellent driver" are my favorite quotes from the Rain Man.

[@frogofbrass382]

The movie was directed by Barry Levinson (who also played the psychiatrist at the end of the film). He also directed “Good Morning Vietnam” (which I know you’ve seen) and “The Natural” (which I wonder if you’ve seen since it is baseball related). Please add his movie “Diner” to your 1000 movie long list of things to see.

[@Heather61776]

I had the pleasure and honor of being with Kim Peek the amazing human the story is based on..3 times a week 1990 ..at Columbus Community Center in SLC..I taught him life skills..may drives in the car..and of course the library..he got a kick out of telling people the day and year of a certain birthday...and always told the story of meeting Dustin and the director..I think he met Tom also..His father was an amazing person.. They toured the country while Kim spoke of his special gift....He had the greatest laugh..enjoy the show..

[@BigGator5]

"What you have to understand is, four days ago he was only my brother in name. And this morning we had pancakes." This is a great family movie about brothers, a rare subject matter for Hollywood. As much as I detest how they treat General Custer, I think Dustin Hoffman's performance in Little Big Man (1970) is his absolute best. If I wasn't a student of history, I'd buy that movie's revisionist agitprop. I still recommend that movie thoroughly. Fun Fact: The highest-grossing movie of 1988. Music Enthusiast Fact: Hans Zimmer's first score for a Hollywood production. Family Affair Fact: Jake Hoffman, the boy at the pancake counter, is Dustin Hoffman's son. The script was originally written with real-life brothers Randy and Dennis Quaid in mind. Best Ending Fact: Dustin Hoffman fought for the ending where Raymond goes back to Wallbrook, even though the screenwriters both wanted him to end up with Charlie (Tom Cruise). Hoffman thought it wouldn't be true to Raymond's character if they had him stay. Historical Fact: What Raymond Babbitt (Dustin Hoffman) says about Qantas was, and still is true. From 1921 to now, Qantas has never lost any jet airliners. For in-flight viewing, several airlines deleted the sequence in which Raymond Babbitt reels off statistics on airline accidents, except Qantas. They even promoted one of the movie's writers to first class once when he travelled on their airline. What Script Fact: The elderly man in the waiting room who talks on and on about the Pony Express is Byron P. Cavnar, an 89-year-old local who was in the waiting room when the crew arrived to film there. He got to talking on his favorite subject, the Pony Express, and director Barry Levinson got such a kick out of it that he let Cavnar keep on talking as the cameras rolled. All his dialogue was spontaneous and not scripted.

[@TheInfo45]

A phenomenal performance between Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman. Yes you're absolutely right he was Captain Hook. You have to dive down the Dustin Hoffman I highly recommend Tootsie or Kramer vs Kramer. Or a fun movie for you would be Mr. Magorium's Wonder emporium

[@Jack80300]

Dustin Hoffman movies i recommend Midnight Cowboy (1969) Papillon (1973) Lenny (1975) Kramer vs Kramer (1979) Tootsie (1982) Marathon Man (1976) All The Presidents Men (1976) The Graduate (1967) Straw Dogs (1971)

[@rockubtzer]

Pick any Dustin Hoffman movie... Gather your family & friends sit with them watch and discuss it. There is a lot to glean about how you and their home environment you created shaped the way they see the world, what ideas outside their home life they adopted that affected who they became and why. I recommend 1970 Little Big Man... A perspective of life of the old west from a man that lived it! The film speaks to me because my Great Grandfather was born in 1899 and told us about it right up to his death in 1998. A family member shook hands with Lincoln at the Gettysburg address. I was lucky enough to know Great Great Grandparents, and hear their stories understand their perspectives on life in their era... And I thankyou for your dedication, and letting me into your worlds perspective. I saw Little Big Man in a Drive-in movie when I was young, One phrase in the film stuck with me... Endeavour To Persevere.

[@Dej24601]

You mentioned at the start that you weren’t familiar with the United Artists (UA) logo. It was started in 1919 by Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Sr.and D. W. Griffith as an independent distribution company so that artists could retain control of their films and not have to go through a studio and be under its control. Many producers like Sam Goldwyn and David O. Selznick joined as producers. During the 1960’s there were numerous restructurings. By the 1980’s, it had permanently become a part of MGM and in the 90’s and 2000’s went through many buyouts, changes and renamings. By 2004 it basically no longer existed. Hundreds of prestige films or ones that are Oscar winners or are part of classic American cinema were created under U/A’s reign. At one point Tom Cruise was considering buying U/A but that deal fell apart in 2008.

counting cards seems to be not allowed in vegas casinos (and perhaps elsewhere,) even though it seems like a legit strategy and skill to me. Clearly, they (casino's) are about making profit, and not about fairness or sportsmanship, or skill.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

It is "frowned apon" but still very much in use. However, casinos are chaning the tech behind blackjack now. They have created constent shuffle tables. After every single hand they put the cards back into a machine and it shuffles them constantly even as you're playing. No reason to count.

[@williamjones6031]

1. Hoffman really did fart in the phonebooth. Being professionals they worked through it in character. 2. The first indication the change in Charlie, to me begins at the farm porch scene. 3. The casino would have swapped out the dealer before taking the step of kicking them out. 4. The hooker/Iris was just working and it's doubtful she turned them in. 5. I suspect Charlie has a bit of his "piece of work" father has just as Raymond got the completely different personalities. (mentally/emotionally) 6. Top 5-character development movie. Perhaps Charlie won't be so self-centered and toxic now.

Card counting is legal. If they don't wan't you play they just ask you to leave or remain in the casino but not allowed to play black jack It takes a lot more to get trespassed under NRS 201.1 to get a no return trespass order, it's a pretty formal legal procedure. The black book which is actually a green book is reserved for ppl that have committed a crime in casinos such as embezzlement, robbery, proven cheating etc. Craser's has changed significantly sinc e 1988.

That's been happening a lot with this DNA stuff. There is a documentary about a sperm doctor that used his sperm instead of the proper one and there are like a couple of hundred kids from different women.

Bruner's only mistake is never telling Charlie about Raymond. Charlie grabbing Raymond by the neck is a deal breaker for me.

So he can never be forgiven? He is irredeemable? You must be a very young person. That or a very immature one.

I wanna know more about the vine danger!

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Vines are very invasive. They'll find and little hole and burrow. You'll literally see them coming through the walls of the house. Search KZbin for vine removal or vine damage.

One movie you have to do is Powder with Sean Patrick Flanery. Amazing movie

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Added to my list, thanks for the suggestion.

[@user-wr9ej6xe4j]

Good call. Powder is a great movie and no one reacts to it

[@highstimulation2497]

never have gambled, but why would they switch the dealers out, let alone several times? (I legit have absolutely no idea, just curious.)

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Believe it or not, a person gambling can get "HOT" so the casino switches dealers often. This is called a "COOLER" they are there to break of the hot streak a person is having and change the feeling of the table. You can look it up its all been proven multiple times as some type of emotional/psychological change.

How come Ray didn't know Amtrak has had plenty of accidents?

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Did they when this was filmed?

[@deependz3231]

@@AwesomeUSMovies Dozens of Amtrak derailments, starting in June 1971 right up to when the movie was made. "Amtrak sucks." How bout taking a boat Ray? "Titanic sucks." Guess we drive back again? Ray after watching the movie Fast and Furious.........."Cars suck." Are you kidding me how we going to get there Ray? "Ray walk."😆😅🤣

You didn’t know the legendary Dustin Hoffmann?????????

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

I've only watched him in one other movie unless Kung Fu Panda counts

[@alanfeldstein9761]

No one ever talks about the fact that Charlie, while he does come around to care about his brother, never comes around to care about his father, the only true victim in this movie. Charlie starts the movie as a jerk and ends the movie as a jerk.

[@sageantone7291]

In what possible way is this movie slow? People need to stop watching Marvel and thinking that's what pacing is. Those aren't movies. Those are bells and whistles.

[@vincegamer]

Hoffman won an Oscar for this, but he played a one-note character. Raymond is exactly the same at the end of the film. Cruise had to depict a person who grows and changes in a believable way. One of his best performances, possibly his best

[@isabelsilva62023]

Tom Cruise' best performance is probably Paul Thomas Anderson's "Magnolia" it shows his talent like no other movie. And then perhaps Oliver Stone's "Born on the 4th of July".
