Summary: 4 Stars
I am not sure why people are trying to compare this movie version to the stage play. they don't compare, and maybe that's the point, however, without Phylicia Rashad, Saana Latham and Ms. McDonald (I can't remember her 1st name), i would have given it 3 stars. The meaning behind the story is what really counts, and how each character portrayed their roles to bring the story to light was beyond good it was exceptional. I remember seeing Ms Rashad on Oprah right before the movie aired and the scene where she finds out that her son gave the money away, was superb. Oprah asked her where did she go in that scene, and she said she went way back to slave women and their struggles, and i went right there with her. Not many movies affect me emotionally, but that scene really got to me. that was acting at its finest! it made me think about how hard my husband works to help keep our bills paid and to enjoy our life, but this womans husband worked hard to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. he suddenly dies, and because of his hard work he was able to provide some security in case of his untimely deaf. his wife seizes an opportunity to become a homeowner and put her husbands hard work to good use, and her son blows it on a fluke. that was painful!Movie Review: Good Production
Summary: 4 Stars
I have taught this play to high school students, and after viewing this production, I am generally pleased with the acting, especially from Phylicia Rashad. My only disappointment is that some parts of the play have been left out, and new parts added. This was due, likely, to an attempt to "open up" the play by showing locations outside of the Youngers' apartment where the entire stage play is set. However, there is one change that bothered me--the part about Benetha's hair, which is often cited by scholars as a major symbol in the play, is completely left out of this production. Despite this change, though, this is well done and worth a look, as the actors really bring the characters to life. The emotion comes across, and the theme of family and dreams is strong.
