The Rainman

So, my teacher today said that I dominate in Jeopardy like the Rain Man. Who is this Rain Man, and what did he do?

Re: The Rainman

It's a classic movie that you should see, starring Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman. It's about a man and his long-lost autistic savant brother--a savant is someone with a mental disability that exceeds in a certain area (i.e. musical savants, mathematical savants). At the time the movie takes place in, there really isn't much information on Austism like there is today. One of the themes in the movie is how the main character's difficult relationship with his brother.

However, I'm sure she wasn't insinuating that you had a mental disability; the Rain Man, as he's known for a reason I won't go into, follows a very strict schedule mentally, Jeopardy being a part of it.

Ask your teacher about it and/or rent the movie. It's a great watch.
