Synopsis

Charles Sanford "Charlie" Babbit is a self-centered Los Angeles-based automobile dealer/hustler/bookie who is at war with his own life. Charlie, as a young teenager, used his father's 1949 Buick convertible without permission and as a result, he went to jail for two days on account that his father reported it stolen. It is then that Charlie learns that his estranged father died and left him from his last will and testament a huge bed of roses and the car while the remainder will of $3 Million goes into a trust fund to be distributed to someone. Charlie seemed pretty angry by this and decides to look into this matter.

It seems as if that "someone" is Raymond, Charlie's unknown brother, an autistic savant who lives in a world of his own, resides at the Walbrook Institute. Charlie then kidnaps Raymond and decides to take him on a lust for life trip to the west coast as a threat to get the $3 Million inheritance. Raymond's acts and nagging, including repeated talks of "Abbott & Costello", "Four minutes till Wapner" and refusal to fly on an airline except Qantas drives Charlie insane... and out of his selfish world into a cross-country trek of pure love and understanding that these two both have.

The score enhances the storytelling by creating a sense of empathy and connection with the characters, especially during the scenes that explore the complex relationship between Charlie and Raymond.

5/10

On the other hand, while the soundtrack is effective in setting the tone for the movie, some tracks can feel repetitive and predictable. The use of certain motifs and musical cues can become a bit overbearing at times, taking away from the overall impact of the storytelling. Despite this, the overall composition of the score is well-crafted and adds a layer of emotional depth to the narrative of Rain Man.

Robert King

The use of recurring motifs and themes in the soundtrack helps to unify the narrative and evoke a sense of continuity and growth throughout the film.
