    I would say Rain Man’s reputation lies somewhere in the middle of the spectrum when it comes to best picture winners.

    the movie seem to fit Miller’s portrayal of the characters. However‚ in the play‚ Willy Loman is portrayed as a man of considerable size 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

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).

But while Wilder’s
