    someone a hero. An example of this is the movie Accidental Hero. In the movie‚ Dustin Hoffman helped those people for the sake of helping them. Although he may show himself as someone who is crooked‚ he really is a nice person. He did not show himself to everyone saying “Hey! I helped those people!” Dustin Hoffman didn’t want the fame; all he wanted was money not even for himself but for his son. Like Rizal‚ Dustin Hoffman did not wish for fame but for the safety of the people inside the plane. Rizal

    I would say Rain Man’s reputation lies somewhere in the middle of the spectrum when it comes to best picture winners. It’s not held in as high esteem as a Schindler’s List or Ben-Hur‚ but neither is it as reviled as a Crash or Oliver!.

After viewing Rain Man‚ I would have to put it into this middle category‚ but more towards the lower end of the continuum. Rain Man tells the story of Charlie

    powerful because first we see the building of a relationship that sprouts out of a bad one. Then we see the manipulation tactics used in the court; Dustin Hoffman can’t get his true feelings out because of the prosecutor. Then we see the tear jerking ending‚ which is kind of predictable‚ but I will not spoil. The film opens with Ted (Hoffman) landing the major ad account he’s been working to close for months. When he arrives home‚ he’s so excited about the news he doesn’t notice his wife

    cross-gender communication‚ pithily summarized at the end of the movie by the lead character Michael Dorsey (Dustin Hoffman) when he tells Julie Nichols (Jessica Lange) that he was "a better man as a woman‚ and I need to learn to do it without the dress." "I was a better man with you as a woman than I ever was with a woman as a man. Know what I mean?" Dorothy also known as Michael Dustin Hoffman character has great depth to it as I look at it.

    Man In the movies things are portrayed in ways that are supposed to make the movie sell‚ which means that movies are not always accurate. The movie Rain Man was about a man and his brother‚ who happened to be an autistic savant. In Rain Man Dustin Hoffman played Raymond‚ who was a high-functioning autistic savant. In the movie Raymond had routines and rituals that he did; and when his routines were interrupted or he was afraid of something he had a temper tantrum where he would hit his head. He

    attacked the audience as well as the perpetrators. As it is‚ it’s too predictable: A media circus springs up when the museum guard‚ a likable everyman played by John Travolta‚ creates a hostage crisis and finds himself bonding with a TV newsman (Dustin Hoffman). The movie is obviously inspired by “Ace in the Hole‚” the knife-edged 1951 satire from Billy Wilder‚ about a man trapped in a cave and the broken-down newsman (Kirk Douglas) who spins out the crisis to rescue his own career. But while Wilder’s

    even being called "walrus" at one time‚ while in the film he is much smaller and is called "shrimp". Although Dustin Hoffman depicts the character of Willy Loman well‚ he gets so enthralled in the heat of the scene that it sometimes makes the audience wonder if Miller intended for Willy to be so dramatic and emotional. At times it’s overwhelming and even difficult to understand what Hoffman is saying. A problem with converting plays or books to motion picture is one can’t see pictures that go along

    Figuracion‚ Gabrielle Frances R. January 25‚ 2010 BSFT-2 FFP10-BD KUNG FU PANDA (A movie review) Many animated movies had been made and shown throughout the years.
