In their words
- “The aspect of the drum, which plays throughout the movie, has a certain kind of rhythm to it. And then ultimately, Hans Zimmer's score, which is very percussion-oriented, has no strings at all. One of the things we talked about very early on is I didn't want any kind of strings at all in it, because I thought it would make the movie too melodramatic.” [2:03] Rain Man (1988)
- “Tom had a very difficult job that he's always having to push the scenes because Dustin, who's purely going to be a reactor, needed Tom to lead. And it was a very, very difficult piece of acting to pull it off because he's constantly pushing the movie at all times, all the scenes, all of the responses that Dustin gives. It has to be motivated by what Tom will ultimately do.” [28:58] Rain Man (1988)
- “There was always the question whether Raymond should look to Charlie at the last minute, but I felt in a sense that with Wapner's coming on, that's his priority. And unfortunately, you know, or unfortunately for Charlie, you know, that's the way it goes at that time. I think it's sort of, we long for something more, and I think perhaps that may be its greatest strength.” [2:10:02] Rain Man (1988)
