I found this article pretty interesting because they really showed both sides. They listed what they personally saw as the positives and negatives which i think could really help me understand the thoughts of people as they watched Rainman. The article says that the movie wasn't an instant hit but it spend many weeks at the top of the box offices and eventually became "one of the biggest hits of 1988" The article talks about how a lot of people alive in the '80's (not myself) have a sort of "warmth" or feeling of nostalgia towards the '80's and Rainman was a sort of movie that celebrated that time period.
I can use this article to show why people may have a connection with the movie, as well as tell the few things this article pointed out as minor potential flaws. Also, I will talk about how even though it started off slow, it eventually erupted into the classic, very well-known movie it is today. I can also use the quote of nostalgia towards the '80's as a potential explanation for it success.
