A Raisin In The Sun Movie Analysis

A Canadian writer, Robin Sharma, once said, “Change is hard at first, messy in the middle and gorgeous at the end.” Have you ever had a hard time going through a change? Change can determine how the future turns out. Good or bad, change will always be hard. It takes true courage to make the right decision and change. It can certainly be messy as well. Every person can feel overwhelmed with change. It can make you feel as if everything is crumbling on you like pastries. Luckily, in the end change is gorgeous. It comes together and what felt like an awful change, turns into one of the most wonderful changes that has happened. The movie A Raisin in the Sun is better than the book because it includes an extravagant amount of detail that makes

Nonetheless, the play focuses more on Mama and how she changes rather than how Walter is changing. Unlike the play, we witness Walter’s experiences and his emotions, as well as how he looks at life. For example, in the movie, Walter is shown at a bar with Bobo and Willy. In this scene, Walter discusses making an investment to buy a liquor store. Walter says ecstatically, “We gonna make this deal and it 's gonna change our lives!” Wistfully, this is never shown in the play, so viewers miss just how awful he wishes to make this investment. At the same time, Walter shows a strong hate for his job as a chauffeur. Unfortunately, the play does not show how much Walter despises his job. For instance, in the movie, Walter says to his wife, “When I get rich, people will be working for me. I’ll have a chauffeur!” Lastly, one of the most symbolic and heartwarming scenes that the movie provided was the ending. Walter handed Mama her plant and was the last one to leave. This may seem like something simple, however, it shows how much Walter has changed. The plant represents Mama’s hopes and dreams. When Walter hands the plant to Mama, he is handing her her hopes and dreams.Walter is showing his responsibility and his maturity by doing this. Regrettably, the book never shows this change of Walter. Although the play delivered symbolic points about Walter and how he is changing, the movie seems to put Walter’s

In both the play and the movie, Willy takes off with the rest of the check. Even so, the movie introduces Willy and we get a feel for his personality and how he thinks. Sorrowfully, the book never introduces Willy. In fact, Willy is mentioned at the end of the play. Meeting Willy makes viewers wonder about his character and why he acts the way he does. For example, after Willy, Walter, and Bobo finished their discussion at the bar, Willy handed a twenty dollar bill to the waitress and winked at her. He said slyly, “Keep the change.” Back in the 1950s, this was a lot of money. Willy seemed to have made a lot of investments and carried himself confidently. Seeing Willy’s appearance can change our views and opinions on what he is going to do with the check. Closely, Willy also tries to get the check as soon as possible. For instance, Willy states, “We should make the deal as soon as next Monday. The sooner we invest in this liquor store, the sooner we can get more money.” Willy wants to get the check right away because the sooner he gets the check, the sooner he can run away with the money. Equally important, Willy also makes another comment on the check. Willy says to Walter and Bobo, “This could be the start of something spectacular!” This simple phrase is Willy showing how great the investment will be. Willy seemed to be pushing Walter and Bobo on this investment so he could get the money
