If you’re a fan of any Tom Cruise movie, you’ll love these Rain Man quotes we’ve gathered!
Unlike the movies that Tom Cruise is known for, Rain Man is an American road drama that will make you tear up and reflect on how you treat your family members. It all starts with Charlie Babbitt receiving news of his father’s death. Not only that, but he also discovers that he has an autistic elder brother, Raymond.
Because of Raymond’s condition, his father left all his fortune to the facility caring for him. Sadly, instead of going home to care for his brother, Charlie was initially motivated by greed. He wanted to take the money for himself.
However, blood will always be thicker than water. It will always prevail above greed, money, and power. So, in the movie, Charlie learns more about his brother and slowly forms a bond that nothing can compare to.
Indeed, Rain Man is more than your usual Tom Cruise movie. Read on if you’re curious about how the brothers’ stories unfolded!

Who Is the Person You’re Closest To?
In our lives, there will be a lot of people who will come and go. But, among them, the ones who would genuinely stay beside us through thick and thin are our family members. Sadly, our time on this planet is finite; we’ll never know when we’ll leave.
Charlie Babbitt was indeed consumed by greed at the beginning. However, he slowly realized how important it is to stand by his family members. In the same way, though Raymond had a special condition, he recognized the bond he could only form with his brother.
Yes, the two end up being separated. However, it wasn’t because Charlie turned Raymond away or vice versa. It’s just that Charlie realized that having the facility take care of his brother would do him much more good than if Raymond stayed with him.
Given that, don’t wait until it’s too late. Always remember that time—especially time with our family members—is precious.
Let these Rain Man quotes serve as your guide whenever you feel like you’re drifting far away from your loved ones. Remember, your bond with your family members should never be taken for granted or compromised!
