Oganda‚ who asks for news about when it will rain. Labong’o is cryptically speechless. Notably‚ with Ogot’s immediate presentation of this critical concern about whether or not rain will come‚ the reader may at once expect that this concern will be resolved favorably; the title--and there is no evidence that it is meant ironically--assures that "the rain came." Thus‚ the tension raised by this concern shifts to a different question: the rain will presumably come‚ but at what cost? Labong’o’s attitude signals

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

Instead‚ it lies somewhere in the realm of the Slumdog Millionaire’s of the world‚ nether beloved nor despised. After viewing Rain Man‚ I would have to put it into this middle category‚ but more towards the lower end of the continuum. Rain Man tells the story of Charlie
