best movie i've ever seen.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Hoffmann Player his Charakter very good. Tom Cruise is Not so good as hoffman but very impressiv
Great movie with great music, visuals, story and acting, one of the best ever.
A young, self-centered businessman, on the verge of bankruptcy, finds out, after his father's death, that he has an autistic brother who'll get entire inheritance. To gain half the money he thinks rightfully belongs to him, he "kidnaps" the brother from the sanatorium, but the time they'll spend together will change them both. This beautiful, emotional drama, with a touch of humor, deservedly took four Oscars (best picture, screenplay, director and male leading role), and Dustin Hoffman played probably the best role in his career. Even Tom Cruise, about whom I do not have a high opinion, bought with his performance, and especially the chemistry he has with Hoffman. One of those movies that is forever remembered.10/10
When I watched this movie, I was impressed by the performance of Dustin Hoffman. His performance is wonderful and makes us think that he has really autism, for example, his screaming, the way he talks, his laughing and so on. Although Raymond that Dustin Hoffman plays talks monotonically, his performance tells us feeling of Raymond. As a result, I was absorbed in this story. In this story, Carlie and Raymond are described in contact. In generally, I think that they don't understand each other. However, Carlie changes slowly through contacting with Raymond. I think that this change is also attractive in this story. I think that this movie contains many meanings, so when we watched this movie again and again, I think that our feelings and thought will change. Because of this, I want to watch this movie carefully again and understand point of uncertainly and hidden meanings. I think that this movie is able to enjoy and be impressed!
