[clarabelle1able]

[kalausha]

thanks for uplouding

[xjpnfanx]

"the american dream".

What the movie shows as 'poverty' living doesn't seem like poverty to me. He complains about his son sleeping in the living room and only living in a 2 bedroom house. Be thankful you even have a roof over your head, a job, a healthy family. Humans, all they can do is complain. The movie basically advertises 'the ol' american dream'. However i found the poem interesting in the movie.

Sorry, but after watching Osama.....this has got nothing on poverty and life struggle.

[jokr8790]

3 toilet guys and doesn't that say something about you. The story doesn't suck dick. YOU suck dick you ignorant moron.

[MerciX1001]

I love sanaa lathan I think shes's an awesome actress!

[HebrooooHammer]

Diddy don't got shit on Poitier.

[kookie2100i]

im reading this in my english class. we saw the play version with DANNY GLOVER and that old woman from GOOD TIMES.

i love it.

[th3toiletguy9111111]

This book and story sucks dick puts me to sleep in fucking class trust me i tried but all this bs sucks.

[captainntyson]

tell me about it.. .im watching it.. we're an hour in. FML

[unskilled91]

It's a sad thing that there are still so many ignorant people left.

[th3toiletguy9111111]

how am i ignorant its my oppinion and this shitty movie takes place in the 50s.

[unskilled91]

i surely didn't mean to insult you personally, but i do think that saying that the first piece by a black author ever to be performed on broadway and telling so much about discrimination in the US 'sucks dick' is pretty much ignorance in it's purest form.

Don't say that a play was bad only because you don't understand it's plot.

[th3toiletguy9111111]

sorry i tried to pay attention and it sucks bad takes place in a house most of the time and its about some black people who hate their own race. They try to be white especially the girl.

[unskilled91]

how come you think they hated their own race? I mean, especially beneatha (the girl ;) ) is dancing about the place with a nigerian dress and stuff..

anyways, whether you like it or not is still for you to decide.

[kaluski]

@unskilled91..there r whites that hate their own race. So there r hispanics that don't want to be identified as one. Asians same thing. U missed the reason she is dancing for joy meeting the Nigerian. I think she was happy she was escaping poverty and being hopeless. When you are from the ghetto it is that feeling you feel. So any race of person who is down trodden can feel that. The haves and have-nots. A poor trailer park white girl will run like hell to escape her lot. Does she hate her race?

[bbbb666888888845]

@th3toiletguy9111111 Actually "the girl" Beneatha, is the one most in tune with her heritage. She learns about Africa and the culture she came from and positively lights up imagining and romanticizing the history of her homeland. But I guess to you being educated and wanting to make something of herself amounts to being white.

[kookie2100i]

"th3toiletguy9111111"

if this book puts you to sleep and you dont like it then you must be WHITE. because no self respecting black teenager who knows their history would put such a stupid comment.

only an ignorant white person would say this book sucks, you know why? because you cant relate to it. you dont seem to understand the importance of this story. its about blacks rising up, and conquering the prejudice they get from WHITE ppl.

[kookie2100i]

if you are black then YOU ARE A SAD,SAD,SAD boy.

if you are any other race, same rules apply like in my last comment, just with some exceptions since you may be a person of color (asian, hispanic, native american.)

[th3toiletguy9111111]

their is plenty of blacks who dislike this stupid story it sucks horse cock. Boring all stories with african americans and civil rights is so boring. No offense movies are better but even this movie sucked. No wonder because p diddy is a homo.

[spartan001191]

just read and watched it in english class

[Euclid34]

LOVE mama

[AlterEgoFan]

Uh... was that Morgan Freeman in the intro, reading "A Dream Deferred"?

[EPluribusUnumful]

i cant believe a movie with "Puff Daddy" has to be made to discover a good book like A Raisin in The Sun. pathetic.

[JakeyBoii16]

Its not a book, its a play by Lorraine Hansberry.

Soooo goooood!

[archuletarox321]

they make it look like this movie is all about walter, where is the importance on the rest of the family?! beneatha, where is your crazyass hair?!

[o0GetRad0o]

its an amazing film

[nebagamonboy]

I saw this right after I finished the book. There are a lot of things that are exactly the same. Pretty good

[nicnak987]

we just read the book in english class.. i think the ending is kinda dissapointing.. it leaves you hanging

[lizzes]

hehes sounds funny the title...a raisin...why can't it be a prune in the sun?? or a mustard seed?? lols

[TwiIitChaos]

I just read this in my English class, and we are watching this movie. It's good so far.

[johnnyprather]

o_o they just like, put the whole movie in that commercial...LOL

[xena8675309]

I'm watching this movie in my english class. We just finished the play, I was Walter Lee most of the time. So far the movie is good but I already pointed out many parts where a good scene was changed

[commentingaccount101]

This version is terrible, the older version is so much better.

[curcloin25]

same here lol

[Fienchen738]

it's our topic in english :)

[tweety8232]

idk wat song it iz but it sound like some lion king sh*t

[dreamergirlbaby]

i missed the movie when it came on but this and is Phylicia Rashad, from the cosby show

[syzygy103]

Does anyone know the name of the instrumental song of the commercial that runs from 1:18 to 2:40? Thanks.

[XV74302]

It's called "My Name is Lincolin" by Steve Jablonsky

from the Score for the Movie "The Island" ;D

[50wearethebest]

is the book the same as the movie?

[david46208]

it's a play not a book

[commentingaccount101]

Yes, but it was made into a book.

[david46208]

it's a play not a book

[Seminole07]

There is a book and yes it's the same!!! It's the only book I all the way through in high school!!! It's a good book!

[jferkfjkj]

i haven't seen this but judging by the commercials diddy is NO Sidney Poitier

[AAUballin]

i actually heard he did a fantastic job in this, and i think it won a tony award

[tokyolover86]

Go Audra!!

[daneishababyd]

Phylicia Rashad, Sanaa lathan, and Audra Mcdonald rocked that..Diddy was all right he did better then i expected thoe..

[Applebaum]

I just watched the old version with Sidney Poitier ....amazing `actors.....this one looks good too tho

[leadperformer]

Enjoyed it and happy for all participants.

Check out my performance and let me know what you think. Exaggerated to hopefully give a feeling of the moms PAIN.

[adlergabe]

Diddy was ok, but imagine Denzel playing Walter's role. Imagine that!

[wwegirl93]

We just got done reading the drama and watching this movie. It was good. :)

[criickyO]

anyone know where i can watch this?

[MyName83www]

Yea, I'd like to know to. I really liked this movie-outside of P.Diddy (even though I didn't do terrible) I just would of like to see someone else in it. Also I'd like to see the original

[HotttGirl19]

Phylicia Rashad & Sanaa did a damn good good.Puffy was alright.

[HotttGirl19]

Phylicia Rashad & Sanaa did a damn good good.Puffy was alright.

[rocker481]

does anyone know the song in this commercial

[remy3production]

dam! i missed the film! was it good? from the trailer it doesn't seem that bad but i still like the original better.

[thehoodspecialist]

Once you get past the laughter of Puffy trying to be a serious actor, it ends up being a pretty good movie. The storyline is great. Sanaa, Audra and Phylicia Rashad are superb.

This is a good start for Puff, he still has some growth to attain though.

[blackberryjuice1]

Okay, this play is something completely different in the hands of P Diddy, deep human longings and existential suffering is reduced to hyperconsumerist superficiality of mass-marketed hip-hop. Is this just another permutation of white capitalism's cooptation of the cultural landmarks of the oppressed?

[TyronThaDon]

it was good as hell and in my class im doin a project where we act out a scene

[CAKB24]

you dumb the orinal is not better

[thehoodspecialist]

puff is a mf hustler

sanaa latham is the baddest chick in the game

[risingstarlett]

Whatever I for one thought Diddy did good for someone who never acted before and I never seem him show that much emotion before and the movie is a MUST see! (I dare to be original) :)

[GSTurk1905]

the original was soooo much better

[Cos8712]

I was thinking the same thing but I'll watch it anmyway.

[Krazoom]

Don't like Sean Combs at all but this looks like it'll be a good movie.. I love Phylicia Rashad so it's a plus that she's in it.

[wingchundragon]

Phylicia and sanna lathan ROCKED this film..the other woman also but I dont know her name..Puffy was dry! Watch the orginal masterpiece

[kemptheleo]

omg ..i got teary eyed just on the trailer
