Day 012: Rain Man

Strong drama revolving about two brothers coming to know each other after the death of their father.
The Academy Award winning performance of Dustin Hoffman (Actor in a leading role) plays so well against what is easily Tom Cruise‘s finest moment to date that this move sucks you in and tears you apart as the humour and the emotion flow during this journey for two brothers, one of whom had no idea of the existence of the other, who is autistic. The treatment of the condition seems to be dealt with well and with care.
Things to look out for: card counting, tooth pick counting, Raymond driving a sports car,
