A famous, unplanned event happens in the phone booth scene.

In a small booth, Dustin Hoffman sits as Raymond Babbitt.

Raymond Babbitt is a made-up man, yet his traits come from a real person, Kim Peek.

Screenwriter Barry Morrow met Peek at a disability event.

That meet helped him form the character.

Hoffman showed respect for Peek by spending much time with him.

Barry Morrow gave Peek thanks when the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay went to him.

Both men kept Peek close in heart and thought.

The film caused a stir with scenes that mention airline crash numbers.

Many airlines changed or dropped these parts to keep passengers at ease.

Qantas, however, kept the part in the film.

They say they have “never crashed.

” This tie between the film and the airline shows Rain Man’s strong effect on culture.

Doubts from the Cast and Crew

In early days, the team had doubts.

Hoffman joked that the film was “Two schmucks in a car.

” He thought it was the worst work of his life.

Later, praise changed these views.

The film turned into one of Hollywood’s best acts.

Hoffman won an Oscar for his role.

During production, the crew had disagreements.

Martin Brest, the first director, wanted Raymond shown as having an intellectual disability.

Hoffman wanted to give him the mind of an autistic savant.

This clash led to Brest leaving the team.

It also changed the film and made it deeper.
