About Title

• "Rain man" can be used to describe someone who
  makes random or odd statements with no
  provocation.
• Raymond Babbitt is playing the role of Rain Man
  in this movie.

Why Movie was made The movie was inspired by the
real Rain Man Kim Peek, who sadly passed away in
2011. Like Raymond, Kim Peek had extreme memory
abilities. He remembered almost everything he had
ever read and could simultaneously read both
pages of an open book and retain the information.
He apparently had developed language areas in
both hemispheres. Peek was a living encyclopedia.
He spent every day with his dad in the library
absorbing information. Among his most impressive
feats was his ability to provide traveling
directions between any two cities in the world.

• Theme
• The theme of the movie is that there is an innate
  value and worth to everylife and that every
  person is valuable and has something to offer.
• Life is full of emotion that cannot be explained
  by logic.
• It also demonstrates the old adage "Blood is
  thicker than water".
• Phychological Reviews

• Rain Man is a movie about two conditions
   autism and Savant Syndrome. Not all autistic
  persons are savants, in fact only one in 10
  autistic persons have any savant abilities, let
  alone the prodigious skills of Raymond Babbitt.
•  It is a biological disorder and it affects his
  emotions, memory (his memory is fantastic), his
  personality, his mental processing and his
  speech. Biological Perspective There is a 78
  increase in the childhood autism rate over the
  past decade. Whether autism is an evolutionary
  step is based solely on opinion, but, Autism does
  have evolutionary advantages.
