- Hii you lovely people!
Thank you sooooo much for still sticking around! The support means so much more to me than words can explain. This request is from Steven :)
I've never seen this before, or knew what it was about. Despite Rain Man being such an iconic movie. As you can probably see in this reaction, founding out one of the characters was Autistic, meant a lot to me. Since I also have this disorder (along with a few others). Though me and Raymond are very different neurodivergents, It was so cool to finally see this disorder on the big screen as well, especially in the 80s! I know I keep babling on both in the intro and outro, hehe if it gets too much, here's some timestaps.

I think Charlie actually did leave Las Vegas with the money he needed. The casino’s security manager said, "These tapes suggest that you should take your winnings and leave the state." And we saw that he had substantial winnings.
nothing illegal about what they were doing
@@superbooster2636 I agree but it's irrelevant. They were getting tossed out of that casino and the casinos inform each other of who the card-counters are. They wouldn't be able to gamble in Nevada after that.
80 grand, enough to save his bussiness.
@@superbooster2636 Gambling is a zero sum game. The casino only wins if you lose. If you, as an individual, win, the other gamblers have to lose. Your winnings come from the losers.
Yes, the ppl playing blackjack can work together. In fact, it’s assumed when you sit down at a table with strangers to work against the dealer. If you concentrate on only winning your own personal hand against the dealer, you might win while making the others lose. So, everyone works together to win together.
This film did serve to widen the awareness of autism. Aside from being special on it's own merits; well written, well acted, well crafted, it did perform as an advocate for the neuro divergent.
I'm happy for you to have had this film find you.
There is another wonderful film which worked to bring change to a misunderstood community and which i am also very fond of:
ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST (1975) Jack Nicholson; Louise Fletcher; Will Sampson.
I would love to see your reaction and treatment of this film.
Thanks for you -
💙 💙 💙
We can learn to love just as we can learn to forgive.
This is what differentiates us from animals.
holy cow Anna.... i've only watched 14 minutes and your insight is fantastic, adding SO MUCH.
Omg thank you so so much!🤩
@@AnnaLorentzen fantastic! i saw this movie from a completely new perspective. you could explain exactly what was happening as it happened. it was like watching a movie with a friend about the space shuttle and finding out your friend is an astronaut 👩🚀
i was around many autistic kids in high school i was in special ed so there were many with different forms of it, we would help each other they are very fascinating people the amount of knowledge some have blew me away you can ask them a question and they could give the answer immediately , i have so much respect for them they're remarkable people.
my son has autism and your insight is making me tear up. youre an angel 😭😭 its can be so hard raising my son sometimes, but so relieving that theres people in the world like you that understand these beautiful individuals cause my boy deserves to be understood. god bless you
Great reactions & insight into this film and characters, Anna!!!👏👏👏
Thank you so much!
Anna I loved 🥰 your reaction and even more when you told that you were autistic person. Now through the years you can see many things that doesn’t before. Years ago (40-50) the autistic people were considered like maniacs or crazy in my country and to have one in your family was like a abomination. I had friends that were banned from their family because they were “differents”, brothers fight. I remember my aunt, she worked at some Hospital at the time and cut off her relation with one of her songs because was different.
I have an autistic son and I remember at the beginning was too difficult for me understand why he didn’t speak or why he didn’t grab any object or write ✍️ well.
Now is better I can understand many many things like the food that he likes or drinks or the syrup on the pancakes or waffles, the shorts or sneakers 👟.They are so vulnerable to the society, is really hard for them to make friends or worse girlfriends. They can’t live alone, they need someone who cares them for the whole life. Someone who love ❤️ them
Thank you so much I enjoyed your reaction
That was an amazing reaction! I very much enjoyed watching this with you and hearing your insights from your unique perspective. This is the first video of yours that I have seen. I think Im going to watch some more.
Omg thank you so much! That put a smile on my face 🤩
Neurodivergent…
Wow just learned a new word today. And, yea I feel you on the tags in the shirt!
I’ve seen this film several times over the years, despite not caring for Tom Cruise, because of Dustin Hoffman’s performance. Thank you for sharing your insights on the portrayed disorder. It made it like seeing the film for the first time.
In Finland it's pretty hard to leave nothing to your children. It requires that child has basically done actively something very wrong to the parent. Just not being in contact is not enough. Testament can minimize amount left to the person to legal right share which is half of the normal default amount.
Thank you for such an engaging and wonderfully informative commentary. Your insight and sharing are much appreciated.
Wow great reaction.
Love this film. Both actors so good.
Really loved the way you spoke about autism and they way it affects you.
Also about the money and greed.
Think money has a lot to answer for. ❤️🇬🇧
Omg thank you so much! It means so much to hear such kind words 🤩
@@AnnaLorentzen that's ok
Keep up the great reviews.
Say hi to Teddy for me 😜🇬🇧🐻
Have you seen foresst gump?
wow, your breakdown of one of my favorite films was amazing.....
They way I look at this movie's representation of autism is that it represented what the doctors knew at the time. That in turn brought more awareness to the condition which led to more research and a better understanding. So while now looking at the movie with what we know about autism it seems horribly stereotypical, back then with what they knew then it did not seem so.
There is that rare gift of just seeing how many toothpicks or whatever. The brain is an astounding thing
I think one of the great things about Rain Man is that Raymond comes across favourably and is on camera so much. It's a rare thing that it's done even to this extent even if it is a depiction of an extremely rare subgroup of neurodivergence. The film serves to have Charlie go through a kinda Scrooge arc, with Raymond facilitating that. I do also wish it was a bit more subtle or even had a scene to explain that it's a spectrum... but for me I am able to make a distinction between a documentary and a piece of fiction and as such, I didnt take this as a true representation, rather a dramatisation.
The severity of Raymond’s condition is due to neglect through a lack of proper management tools. Basically due to the ignorance about ASD and neurodivergence in general, at the time this film was made.
This is what severe autism looks like if you don’t have the means to adapt to regularity and socialization. That’s why most of us had much stronger symptoms as children. You learn to normalize some behaviors as you grow to be an adult.
And in some part, you learn the hard way through social faux pas and mistakes.
I enjoyed hearing the commentary on this film from the thought perspective of someone who truly gets it, and understands first hand what it is to live with these disorders.
If you haven’t seen the movie *I Am Sam,* I STRONGLY recommend that you consider reacting to it. It’s such a beautiful film, and you don’t see or hear about it much anymore. You’d be the first to react to it, so that’s something.
I think it’s just as good if not better in some ways than Rain Man, though I do love them both.
Anna, you know the problem with the number and the languages... is that Einstein was a computational god, but he couldn't tie his own shoes. the difference between facutal facts and then abstract ideas, is interesting, but If you decide, either by will or by right, then you become a master of it.
I realize that I'm over a year and a half late mentioning this, but he actually did win like 86k at the casino and he was 80k short on his loan, he's fine.
Rain man is not a stereotype, he represents a few people out there that has the same similar behavior. Stereotypical would be other movies trying to copy Rain man with no clue at all of how to do it.
I actually am, myself, a clinically-diagnosed, socially-challenged Asperger ("A classic case", as the psycho-therapist so aptly phrased it to me), and while I continue to struggle very much in this condition, somehow I manage to work through with it. But I still try, though, to find the humorous side, such as noting the commercially available tee-shirt which has the printed statement: "Aspies of the World Unite...(just don't make eye contact)". Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot were also autistic.
Dustin Hoffman won accadamy award for best actor for this roll.
as someone who has a stutter that is mostly triggere by stress I can relate to representation on the big screen. the Kings Speech did everything wrong when it came to the methods of solving the problem but those were the ones back in the 1940s. probably same with this film and the representation here. it was the to the best research of the 1980s.
the interesting thing about this movie Raymond aka rain man is loosely based on a man named Kim Peek
Great reaction. Without going into all the other details that everyone else is going to cover I just thought I'd mention that I don't think that Charlie was going back home broke. I think that he and Raymond won enough money playing blackjack in Vegas to cover his losses from the Lamborghini deal gone bad.
I love this movie and I love the 1980s and I have autism to im 33 years old im swedish🇸🇪 have no friends never had a girlfriend and im a 🤘metalhead🤘 love history looong walks in forest and so on having autism is a pain in the ass but thats life.
The performance by Dustin Hoffman - what can be said - besides amazing.
Mr. Hoffman is a tremendously skilled actor, in general....but to me, this role was his crowning achievement. He did a ton of research, spent a lot of time with autistic individuals, and then completely disappeared into the character of Raymond. Even in lousy films he's wonderful....but he blew me away with this one.
Wrong. It's Tom Cruise's acting that's truly brilliant. Hoffman plays the same way for 2 Hours. It's Cruise that has to truly change...Pay attention to the his Character's Arc...
Thanks for sharing your feelings and thoughts on this movie, it was really great to hear someone who knows someone with autism, or might have a mild shade of it, few movies get to me like this one, maybe because I have a brother.
This was just a beautiful reaction, plain and simple.... Thank you😀😀😀
No, thank YOU!🤩
*Dustin Hoffman* in *(Rainman) & Tom Hanks* in *(Forrest Gump)* are two of the most believable characters *IMO*
It's very cool to see someone relate to this movie on a deep level. Austism is really complicated and confusing. When you're talking about the underwear thing, that's been a thing for my son his whole life. Autistics have a lot of sensitivities and my son basically has a uniform that he wears every day in order to be comfortable. They say Einstein had a a closet full of identical suits. My son basically has a closet full of white cotton t-shirts and either black shorts or black sweatpants, depending on the weather. It can be really tricky to figure out which features somebody has and learn how to navigate them. I loved watching you watch this movie.
@Anna Lorentzen They got to keep the $85K they won in Vegas; they were just asked to leave afterwards. It all worked out.
Rain Man won an oscar for best picture and best actor by Dustin Hoffman. Thank you Anna for reacting this amazing masterpiece😊😊👍👍
To be honest, nowadays, I don't feel like autism comes with much stigma, but for contrary other mental conditions are still in "fifties of last century". Few years back I was riding a bus, there was a guy talking to 3 girls, it caught my attention because it was some kind of argument, when I came nearer I found out he was calling them witches and was literally afraid of them, after listening to him carefully for about few minutes I was certain that the guy has schizofrenia, but girls were laughing and calling him names, few people were shouting at this guy for him to shut up, most people just turned their heads away. This guy needed medical attention, because he could hurt himself or somebody, yet, literally no one at this bus was concerned, I was the only one who decided to call emergency, even driver ignored me when I told him to stop the bus and wait for assistance. I'll never get that, people with cancer or other diseases get even more empathy from world than they deserve, but a guy fighting with his own thoughts is left alone or even causes laughs in others.
You're long intro discussion was great but I was excited to learn you hadn't seen the movie but then it was a turn down when you read about it & now you know beforehand that he has a brother & he's going to kidnap them Etc. I wish you would have went in blind & had this discussion about mental disorders at the end
Just Sharing My Own Opinion
late here but - the person who D. Hoffman used as his ' muse' or whatever worked in the same building I did , I can say he had ( far as I know ) no problems from anyone , IF anyone harassed him they'd get put in place.
If you look at the sky scene you see their car going away in the background if that's the car probably why they stayed on it so long.
Thw character of Ray (although imbelished because Hollywood) is based on an actual person
Hello, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your reaction, I learned a lot from you. The way you predicted what was going to happen before it happened was amazing to me. Thank you Anna.
I have subscribed and I will be watching more of you reactions :)
Thank you so much! Than means a lot 🤩
Asperger's (named after the Austrian pediatrician Hans Asperger) NOT asparagus
27:00 - I wish people would stop being so judgemental of Charlie. OK he was a prick, but he didn't necessarily have an easy life. His mother passed when he was a baby, his father was emotionally cold, if not abusive, and he never knew he had a Brother. Plus his business was going under. It can't be easy growing up without a family.
While counting cards is not illegal, If you get caught doing it your finished in that casino 😁. However if you're caught using a calculator or other device it is illegal and you could be charged with a felony 😭.
You should watch "I am Sam" with Sean Penn and Michelle Pfeiffer..... and u should read how Sean Penn prepared for that role as an man with autishm......... an AMAZING movie and acting.... from beginning till the end.....
Next level.
Yes
Thanks for sharing your story. I think I’m “on the spectrum” too but undiagnosed; I’m 56, socially awkward, depressed but still standing. This film is referenced in _Tropic Thunder_ (2008). Loved your reaction.
Thank you so much!
Fantastic review
Someone should tell this nuclear re-ACTOR girl that this is a movie and that's its make-believe. These are not real people, they are reading a script and pretending to be people they are not. My Grandma warned me to be weary of this as she referred to TV as an Idiot Box designed to garner emotion where none exists.
A lot of those Autism misconceptions you mention at the beginning exist because of this movie. Autism was pretty much unknown and this was most people’s first experience with it. It was good for awareness but people who don’t look into it more remain largely ignorant sadly
Indeed, movies like this and shows like The Good Doctor just feeds on stereotypes. It’s quite frustrating how people don’t believe others when they say they’re autistic just because they’ve seen a movie
Lovely reaction. Thank you.
No, thank YOU!🤩
Based on a real guy.
I've been living with Depression since the mid 80s & i don't think it can ever go away completely, just easier to cope with
having less overall.
I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety since I was 11, and I get you, it truly never goes away. Though it is different than disorders like autism and ADHD, which I also have 😂 because those disorder you’re born with
Charlie didn't suppress his memory of Raymond. It is just that when Raymond was put in the institution, Charlie was a little baby, 2 or 3 years old, and therefore too young to remember it later.
11:55 because you need money to survive that's why
It’s better for the reaction if you avoid reading the description beforehand.
I didn't think I'd like this but I did. I saw it later after it's prime.
Thanks for doing a movie hardly anyone else does.
1. Hoffman really did fart in the phonebooth, but being professionals they worked through it
2. The casino would have swapped out the dealer before taking the step of kicking them out.
3. Although the casinos have them the hooker was just working and it's doubtful she turned them in.
4. I suspect Charlie has a bit of his "piece of work" father has just as Raymond got the
completely different personalities. (mentally/emotionally)
Same exact comment in every Rain Man reaction. Sadly it's not even a good or insightful comment. Is there a point to it?
@@nightfall902 It was informational Now GOMF. If there's a pest around her it's you.
You remind me a little of Bjork, that's a compliment. Great review.
Thank you so much!
at the time the Lamborghini Countach was a hot car
Thumbnail is like "HMMM 😳 Rain Man.... hmmmm... 🤔"
Dustin Hoffman stayed with Kim Peek and his father to learn the role. Kim Peek had amazing recall and could tell you the day and whether it rained or was sunny on any date you gave him. Truly amazing and you will enjoy this film ruclips.net/video/DLpCfHH1OVU/видео.html
Ted Bundy is the first one to be called a serial killer. Late 70s.
It’s when you’re brain works to fast
FWIW I find movie reactions more interesting when the viewer goes in cold rather than reading a summary first. I'm interested in watching a reaction to the movie, not to the synopsis.
Great film - this is gonna be great!
Love you but the idea is to go as blind as possible into the movie. Reading a review goes against that
If you wish to see more special individuals react to Forest Gump and the Green Mile. Both are excellent Tom Hanks movies
31:34 👍🏼
There is a lot of ignorance about Asperger still in employers, especially in science. too many people seem to know bugger all. It pisses me off
It is a famous film. Don;t think iconic is the right word.
it is better not to read film plot descriptons, before watching them
You cut off the credits where they showed all the photos that Raymond took while they were travelling
Jesus ! How I forgot this movie and the monumental performance from Dustin Hoffman !
This won't be popular. I don't care.
I watched reactions to a film called MY COUSIN VINNY. It's a comedy. Let me repeat that: it's a comedy.
But 1 in 10 reactors were lawyers.
And they had to deconstruct every courtroom scene; "a judge would never say that." " the prosecutor has a duty to make all his evidence available to the defense..." That's wrong because the witnesses weren't..." All the way through the reaction, giving a dissertation on everything, explaining everything.
Let me repeat: the movie was a comedy.
Then I watched a reaction to the comedy AIRPLANE!. A flight attendant was the reactor. She had to explain why the stewardess would never give instructions to the passengers that way, and how her training...
Did I mention that the movie was a comedy?
Maybe you can figure out what i'm trying to tell you.
💯🔥
Rain Man is one of the best movies ever made. If you're interested in watching a documentary about the real person that inspired the character of Rain Man then watch "Kim Peek -- The Real Rain Man". It's a great 45 min documentary which is on RUclips. Hope you check it out some time. Kim Peek was an extraordinary person.
Way better if you had gone in blind.
wow, reading the synopsis ruins it. What an absolute waste.
Neat~
Can you please react to the classic movie called Stigmata
Starring Patricia Arquette
Please
You so beautiful Anna!
Thank you!
@@AnnaLorentzen it's all good.
Can you please react to
The Ninth gate Starring Johnny Depp
Please u
Watch "run, Lola, run"
You’re pretty
Your intro was too long.
Thanks for all that crap in the begining..
watch Arcane.
Thought you might be interested in this - the person who was the inspiration for the Raymond Babbitt character.
