There's an obsessive gambling scene, but I'm not sure it would count as addiction.

I dont think so. If the ones who answered yes are reffering to Susanna and Raymond i feel like it should be clarifyed that when Charlie finds out they kissed he isnt upset and it seems to me that Susanna knew he wouldnt be upset. She doesnt tell him but she does mention it to Raymond in front of Charlie and sorta teases Charlie about it being their secret. If she thought he would be upset she wouldnt mention it

Both parents are mentioned to have died off-screen before the events of the film, and the father's death sets the events of the plot in motion; early in the film, Charlie gets a call that verbally states that his father has died, and that the father's lawyer had been trying to reach Charlie for a couple of days to tell him that.

The main character technically "kidnaps" his brother, but it's more him taking advantage of him and his disability to get what he wants.

It's not really a hospital scene, there's a mental institution in the beginning, and they see a doctor at one point but I wouldn't consider either scene a hospital

Raymond hits his own head with his hand whenever he feels very upset, which happens several times. Does it count?

Rain Man has a complicated legacy in it's depiction of autistic people. It's long been criticized for perpetuating the autistic savant stereotype, but it also dispelled other myths and misconceptions about autistic people and improved awareness of how autistic people have been failed in accommodations.

Raymond’s childhood was not exactly pleasant due to the unfortunate luck of being autistic person raised in the 1950’s. And even throughout the movie Charlie’s character arc is partially learning to be less of an a*****e to his brother
