Outstanding Movie Portrayal of A Raisin in the Sun Extra scenes in a film or story can make all the difference when it comes to being captured by a narrator’s work, and in the film A Raisin in the Sun based off of the play written by Lorraine Hansberry, the portrayal of true emotion and symbolism were captured almost ideally when it came to added scenes outside of the Younger’s apartment, with the exception of a few altered events, like Mama’s retirement.
