james_atusparia I think this movie was one of the best movies I have ever watch because it think is a good representation of how colored people didn't have a lot of opportunities and how they were discriminated just for their skin color in the 1950's. The directors change some scenes from the original play so the viewer can better and fast understand the movie, on the original play the entire play is centered on the younger apartment but in the the film part they show different places in Chicago. Also they change the final part to make it more emotional .

william_rivera-roman I think the movie is way different than the book. The play made by Lorraine Hansberry is less detailed than the movie. Although, the movie illustrates the actions of the characters and the emotions that they feel. In the book, there are parts that aren't in the movie like, at the end where Mama takes the plant to the new house. However in the movie Walter takes the plant and hands it to mama. Also, the in the play the Youngers never leave the apartment and in the movie they do. This is a good thing because it show how the life in the 1950s were and the racism that the family faced. To conclude the movie was emotional and decent, I would definitely watch it again.

Kong Ho Meng Though no better than lackawanna blues, this is another movie which is equally heart warming nonetheless. It talks about the issues that most families face in real life, and takes them on with very thought-provoking approach. Some people might find many scenes going too far, but then sometimes you need exaggeration to get the point across, especially on the issues reflected in this film which are still complicated for families to handle even after many generations.Speaking of that, kudos to the acting performances from the cast, notably Phylicia, and I didn't expect P.Diddy to have such talent to carry out a role as difficult as his. But I was really intrigued at certain scenes as I find them really really mature, and something that we all can learn from.

Syl Lorraine Hansberry's play is forever being produced whether on stage in it's original drama or in a musical. A Raisin in the Sun is a theatrical classic. It stars Sean Combs in the leading male role that Sidney Poitier immortalized in the film with Ruby Dee. In this version, Phylicia Rashad plays the family matriarch and Audra McDonald plays Ruby Dee's character. Those two performances are stellar and they both won Tony Awards for their performances on Broadway. The television film version is equally worth watching but it's too long at times. John Stamos plays the man who wants them not to move into their neighborhood. The film version is for today's audiences but it's too long despite it being faithful to the original.
