A Raisin in the Sun

[@Beyond-Blessed]

I always felt that no version of this play could match the original. But this one does just that! There are meaningful extra scenes that enhance the story. And Ms. Rolle has never looked more beautiful! Bravo!

[@xTFFxVengeance]

Watched this in highschool and thought it was good, but rewatching it and understanding its figurative language more, it's a beautiful play. One of few plays I care to watch

I never forgotten watching this in 1989 changed my entire life ‼️‼️ Danny Glover Esther rolle played the hell out of those roles‼️‼️

[@random-lf3mr]

out of the remakes of this movie this is my fav. the actors take theyre roles so seriously and get into it most amazing actors ive seen in my opinion

[@kylieb4836]

I recently listened to an interview from the 60’s with Lorraine Hansberry, which led me to watching this movie - from the interview she had such a sense of self worth and knowledge of being - she encapsulates this and so much more in this play - this piece and it’s message is timeless. Loooove.

[@taebond007]

Love this beautiful play all the actors did an excellent job. Thank you so much for this beautiful performance well done.

[@davaedein]

This is hands-down the best version of A Raisin in the Sun ever seen. Danny Glover is absolutely brilliant

[@shaywynn4966]

My daughter's HS Drama Department just wrapped 3 days of this stageplay and this piece is timeless. Even the youngest in the audience was captivated. My daughter played Lena Younger. It was a very strong performance for a fledgling drama department. May there always be a Dudley High.

Sydney blasted this Movie right òut the park😊😊

[@AngelaKHarrell]

Enjoyed this very much. It was realistic, and brought up so many themes regarding African Americans and their beautiful legacies. Lorraine's scene to have Lena take a cursory glance at the American flag (and walk past it with no great emotion) was pure genius. So akin to how America has treated African Americans.

[@davidsong93374]

What a masterpiece

[@phyllishammond9886]

They should be a sequel called cyldeborne park,( a raison in the sun). They met with hostility in the neighborhood, they are befriend by a nice friendly white family. But tragedy happen, there going to be blame all around , at the end they are back at the apartment minus a very important , beloved one..... everything falls apart again, the remaining family stays strong , hoping for a better future.

[@wonderwoman5732]

Ruth Wishy-Washy and Hypocrite #2 Younger needs to apologize to Travis. She has no right to snap at him when all he wanted was 50 cents for his school project he is working on and to work at the supermarket so he could maybe get his own pair of shoes. After she takes her problems out on Travis when he leaves for school, that wishy-washy woman take the rest out on Bennie.

From my African American Literature Course hello!

[@gi3119]

[@devontehuntley6274]

I'm curious, did they ADD anything to the story here? The written play isn't THAT long and even the 1961 and 2008 movie versions were only a little over two hours in length and it seems they didn't cut much out of those versions. The original I know only removed one controversial scene but that was it. So for this to be almost three hours is shocking.

[@MAURICO2]

Everyone seems to have the same thoughts about Raisin In the Sun which are that-- +the story was essentially about a close knit, black family trying to move into a white neighborhood. +momma was all wise and 100% correct in everything she did. +Walter Lee was money hungry, materialistic and selfish. +aside from Walter losing most of the money, all of the family's problems were due to racism. +Ruth was saintly in enduring Walter Lee's compulsiveness. +Beneatha's character was flawless because she aspired to become a medical doctor. So, here are some questions about issues I don't think I've have ever heard discussed regarding Raisin in the Sun: 1 Why did family members talk so harshly with each other even in the morning? Is this how they started each day? 2 Why didn't we see the Younger family eat meals together even when everyone was in the house? They seemed not have any family bonding rituals. 3 Was Ruth's morning grumpiness due to her secret about her pregnancy? It had to be because she was not a single mom with several children but a married woman with one child who was not a toddler or infant. Yet, all she could manage to cook for breakfast was scrambled eggs. 4 Why was Walter the only person talking about the insurance money? They all knew about it for six months, but the other adults all seemed uncomfortable as if even talking about it was sinful. 5 Why was mama so domineering with her grown children as if she had been an overcompensating single mother? She had not been a single mother but a wife with a husband/father with whom she shared the economic and children rearing load. All of the family spoke of him in the highest reverence. So clearly, he fulfilled his role as husband/father. Both parents raised Walter and Beneatha to adulthood. So why is mama so heavy handed with her grown children? 6 Why did mama single-handedly buy the house even though the family comprised three other adults? 7 Why did mama with her Clyborne Park housing choice thrust the entire family into a racial dilemma without any prior family consent and preparation? Is this the way that any family buys their first house let alone buy it as the first blacks in a white neighborhood. How could mama conclude from a half day house search on the bus that all nice houses in black areas were over-priced? Why would she think she could find a bargain in an area where she and her family would be unwanted? 8 Did mama consider that this move might cause her grandson to be transferred to a racially hostile school in Clyborne Park? 9 Why did momma house hunt around the city on the bus with $10,000 cash in her purse? Why did she have $6,500 cash in her purse when she went to a bar at night looking for Walter? Why didn't she keep the money in a bank account? 10 Why didn't we ever see momma pray for wisdom and guidance regarding the money or the family's general well-being. Why did we only see her mention God when she slapped her daughter for questioning God's utility in daily human life-again treating her grown daughter like a child? 11 Why would the insurance money all belong to mama? If it was a survivors' benefit that the father originated when Walter and Beneatha were still children, it seems that he intended it to be for them all and not just for mama. 12 When she learned that her sister-in-law, Ruth, was pregnant, why was aspiring medical doctor Beneatha's first reaction, "where is it going to sleep? Is this the appropriate sensitivity of an aspiring Ob/Gyn, pediatrician or family doctor? 13 What is Beneatha's income source that enables her to pay for exotic elective classes and expensive camera equipment collecting dust in a closet while her nephew sleeps on the living room couch and is overdue for new shoes? As an aspiring health care professional hoping to help meet needs in the larger community, why is she oblivious to needs in her own house? 14 If Walter was so ashamed of and humiliated by his job as a chauffeur why didn't he pursue something else? Chicago industry was bustling in the 1950s with better paying jobs for blacks in many areas, even though blacks faced intense job and trade union discrimination. By the 1950s, blacks from the south had been migrating to Chicago for decades and landing jobs in the steel mills, the stock yards, various large factories, and in construction and transportation as well as in government such as the post office. 15 How in the world could Walter be conned into handing over $6,500 to Willie Harris? Why would he think all that money would be needed just to smooth the way for liquor licensing? What money would be left to acquire the space and inventory to open the liquor store? Why didn't he insist on going with Willie and Bobo to Springfield? Why would Bobo have handed over his money to Willie if he was going to later meet Willie at the station for the trip to Springfield? Why didn't Walter bring Willie Harris by the house to meet his family? They quickly would have sized up Willie Harris as shady. Instead, Walter tries to show mama a piece of paper as if that alone would be sufficient to convince her to hand him several thousand dollars. Walter seemed a bit too anxious to impress Willie Harris if he were a fatherless male desperate for fatherly mentorship. But Walter did not grow up fatherless, so his gullibility is puzzling. Walter only spoke of the money being made of his father's flesh after it was lost. Perhaps if he had affirmed these words when he had the money, he would not have become susceptible to being impressed by and thus entrusting the money to Willie Harris. 16 Near the end when mama expresses deep compassion for her son for how the world has "whipped him so", did she recognize that his family had first whipped him with their sharp dismissals and mocking of him and his liquor store idea without ever offering any alternatives that they might find acceptable? Why didn't the family ever consider business possibilities other than a liquor store? These could include a laundromat, dry-cleaners, barbershop, florist shop or shoe store or acquiring rental income property. 17 Why did we never see the Youngers plan anything as a family? We only saw them react. They knew for six months that the insurance money was coming but made no plans for how to use it. Instead, Momma brought the house in reaction to learning earlier that same day that Ruth was considering an abortion. Mamma handed over the rest of the money to Walter in reaction to her guilt about Walter’s despair. By not planning, the Youngers turned economic opportunity into a serious of dilemmas. How could they have never even discussed buying a house during the six months? If they had, Ruth and Walter would likely have been on better terms and Ruth would have celebrated her pregnancy. If they had considered other business ideas as a family, Walter would not have been so fixated on a liquor store and taken up with outsiders and gotten conned. ---Final question: What was the author conveying by showing us so many unflattering things about the Youngers? Could it be to show that the Youngers problems were mostly due to internal issues and not external racism--even in the 1950s? The family’s lack of a tradition of coming together for meals and to discuss and plan and Walter getting conned out of all that money were not due to racism.

[@wonderwoman5732]

Why on earth are you ASKING more questions than the game show THE CHASE facing THE BEAST? Also, you are WRONG, Lena HYPOCRITE #1 Younger is not wise and 100% correct. If she was, she would not have given WALTER THE REST OF THE INSURANCE MONEY LIKE A BIG DUMMY.

[@MAURICO2]

@@wonderwoman5732 I did not say I thought Lena was all" wise. I said, "Everyone seems to have the same thoughts about Raisin In the Sun which are that" "momma was all wise and 100% correct in everything she did." Read the various comments by others and you won't see anyone criticize her for handing over to Walter the rest of the money. They only criticize him for losing it. My items 4-10 are full of criticisms of mama. My 17 items are not really questions they are observations. I posted my comments 8 months ago and am trying to encourage cordial interaction not an argument.

[@wonderwoman5732]

​@@MAURICO2 1. My point in general is what's with many questions. 2. You're wrong. You need to read too because they're some people who agree that Walter should not have been given that money. 3. Whoever thought that Lena HYPOCRITE #1 was all wise, NEEDS to realize that she is NOT. She should have thought TWICE BEFORE GIVING A DRUNK LIKE WALTER ONE RED CENT. I know I wouldn't have.
