Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

ursulaursula-73465 The movie "A Raisin in the Sun" which was produced by Kenny Leon in 2008 and based on the novel by Lorraine Hansberry is an impressive film that consists of several interesting elements. The author introduces them to convey the message that African Americans often see themselves confronted with racism and discrimination. To begin with the differences between the book and the film, one can say that the settings used in the film are more diverse as provided in the book so that the story happens in different places. Moreover, the scenes in the film are often presented in a more dramatic way than in the book which might disturb some people. Nevertheless, I were positively surprised by the film because the director decided (several times) to add new scenes (for example the scene when Mama searches for an adequate house) or to change them (for example when Ruth considers an abortion). For that reason, even people who have already read the novel should consider to watch the movie as well because there are some really impressive scenes. I highly recommend to watch them. Talking now about the music, I would like to say that the producers chose quite matching songs because the rather dramatic music really fits to the story and to the personal problems of the characters. It could be mentioned that dramatic and sad scenes are underlined by rather quiet music and violinos whilst the happy parts of the story are supported by the use of trumpets and Jazz music. In addition, personal scenes are emphasized by the use of only one instrument. For that reason, the choice of music and the instruments that are used in the single scenes help to underline the importance of the whole story. As I would like to come to an conclusion now, I recommend this film to everyone who already read the novel. Seeing the differences between the drama and the film could really help you to understand the problems Lorraine Hansberry tried to express by writing "A Raisin in the Sun". Moreover, I think that the music in the movie underlines the feelings of the protagonists in a very striking way. All in all, I would finish then by saying that even though the film might be a bit difficult to watch, it is full of potential and as the topic of racism and discrimination is still relevant today, I really recommend it!! #maytheforce2018

shandee_salinas So I think this movie was bad because of the way Walter,Beneatha, and George Murchison acted.When George and Beneatha were at the club dancing,George made it look like he wasn't trying.Walter really didn't show the way he acted like in the book.Beneatha didn't act so strong as a woman, she acted like a normal person in the real life,it's not like the book.The book made it more explosive and very interesting.

guadalupe_cantor-gasca I liked this movie because it was a little better than the book. The reason why i liked this movie was because i am a visual learner. The movie showed more stuff than the book like for example how they specified when ruth went to the lady for the abortion. The book said something totally different like they were going to do the abortion at mama's kitchen. Some other differences were how walter didn't take ruth to the movies. In the book walter took ruth to the movies but in the movie walter didn't do that. Overall i like the movie and the book was okay too.

Karlknight I would have given it 10 stars but Diddy Combs couldn't act opposite the other actors cast in the movie. He was just out of his league. The rest of the cast was great. He should of played a lesser role and cast someone else with an acting background to play Walter. Walters character was too complex for his skill set. He tried too hard and doesn't know how to bring out his emotion naturally, he tries to push it out. Overall the movie is a great movie. The women in the movie just smoothly flow as though they are not acting but really lived in that time period. The facial expression of the women and the body language during the scenes speak volumes and the words they speak just add to the depth of their characters. Diddy does have some great flashed of acting such as when he tells his family he is going to take the money from the white man and they should move. The next scene with Ms Rashad and Ms Lathan where she tells Ms. Lathan not to judge Walter so harshly is mind blowing. The movie sets where great, the costumes were great and the writing was great. John Stamos was his usual good performance. I do wish the African would have had more scenes he also didn't seem like he was acting or playing a character and you forget you are watching a movie and think you are looking at real life. If this movie doesn't evoke many emotions within you, it is not the movie but you are emotionally constipated because it is very deep and makes you think. You leave changed after watching this movie.
