Rain Man / 1988 / USA / 8 out of 10 Rating on IMDb

A really great movie with Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman.

The movie is about a young business man whose father died and left him a part of his fortune. He finds out that the other part of the fortune has been given to a unknown party. He is quite selfish and needs money due to a failed business venture with Italian sport cars. So he attempst to find the unknown party. He gets to know that he has a much older brother who is in a nursing home due to having autism. Autism is no joke and should be taken seriously. The movie is attempting to make aware of this for the time it was made in. It wasn't even known widely that autism was a existing thing and a big issue for affected peopel. Great character development in terms of the role that Tom Cruise played and as well as Dustin Hoffman's role.

Towards the end both the business man and his brother are in a real brotherhood type relationship (after being apart for so many years). Most important is that the business man is no longer after the money and stopped being so selfish.

Awesome movie.
