The thing that keeps Rain Man out of being demeaning to me is 1) it’s significance in depicting these challenges as something you can’t “cure” and that people should give more care to their needs, 2) it’s based on a real person who also was highly functioning in certain skills like the version in the movie was, 3) Raymond himself is funny, but not demeaned or the butt of the joke in a way that degrades him as a person, and 4) that the movie did make the bold statement that sometimes even if you love a person like that so much, you may not actually be skilled or qualified enough to care for them and you have to put your trust in those who do even if it’s hard to do It also had many other great qualities to it, but unfortunately it seems a lot of those follow-up movies like I Am Sam or Radio just want the cheap schmaltzy payoffs rather than the relatively more nuanced take Rain Man had

[@danavixen6274]

Ooh! Well said. 💯 Rain Man had GENUINELY funny moments and Dustin Hoffman's Raymond wasn't the butt of the joke. In fact, when he repeated himself from time to time constantly, it was saddening. It made you realize he had mental issues. But, he wasn't COMPLETELY inept. His memory and his math skills were IMPECCABLE! It would take a patient and very selfless person to care for him. Tom Cruise's Charlie (Raymond's brother) could be self-serving and callous. He grew to love him later on yet his lack of patience would've hindered Raymond from having a decent quality of life. Rain Man is a MASTERPIECE, because it's heartfelt and VERY relatable. I Am Sam is a spoof in contrast to Rain Man. 👀

[@JustinZarian]

@@danavixen6274 indeed. In fact, Rain Man was supposed to have an ending more or less like how we see Charlie decide to let Raymond live with him at his home, but the director and others involved fought to get the ending we got because it was more true to life. It especially makes Charlie a more likable character too because it shows that he’s willing to make a decision that benefits someone other than him for once. Even though he is understandably angry at his dad, he understands Raymond isn’t a tool to get what he wants. He’s a person and a person who needs someone other than him to take care of them. While Dustin Hoffman did do one of his career best performances in the movie, I am a bit sad Tom Cruise wasn’t even nominated when I think about how he kept pace with such a meticulous performance.

This lends itself to the conversation around disability representation and hiring talented disabled actors for similar roles.

Yeah the Ringer also featured a musical group of special needs musicians as well. Its a typical Farrelly brothers type film but does have heart as well.

Ok let me say this before I tell my story around this movie, but I have Asperger's. And that basically means I'm incredibly high functioning with a few moments of dumbassness (yes, that's a word I made up, bite me). So when I was in high school, one of my teachers had nothing to teach us that day and decided to show us this movie. I was 16 or 17 at the time and even I was telling the teacher that this movie was offensive as hell and stupid as fuck. This movie represents the worst sterotypes of people on the spectrum, and it's insulting. And to find out this could've beat out Training Day (one of my all-time favorite films) shows you that autistic people are not dumb and not braindead and close-minded as some of these award shows.

I loved I am Sam… but I found out that people like me, who grew up with people in their family who would be considered “mentally challenged”… we have zero issue laughing at people with disabilities. Cause they are human, they recognize they are different, and they can laugh at themselves like everyone else. To deny them that is to deny them they are human. My gramps was my best friend since birth, and he did things that were incredibly hilarious. When I laughed, he didn’t take it as offensive… he loved that he made me laugh, so he’d do it again. And I never once considered him “lacking” or “less than” any other person. His mental state made it impossible for him to retain negative emotions, so he was always happy. That’s not a flaw, that’s something to envy. When I met a guy who had a sister with similar mental disabilities, we bonded over making fun of some of the hilarious stuff our loved ones did due to their mental state. You can’t say we didn’t love them more than anyone else. I spent 2 years cut off from everyone to care for my gramps at the end of his life, and was alone with him when he died. I loved him more than anything. Still do. And the stuff he did sometimes was hilarious. Laughing at it offends nobody who matters to him or me.
