Kenny Leon’s SparkNotes Interpretation
After reading the Lorraine Hansberry play, one would expect this film to be a grand portrayal of a struggling black family in the 1950’s. What one gets is a poor adaptation of an amazing play. If Lorraine Hansberry were still alive, she’d kill over taking Sydney Poitier with her. The choice to have P. Diddy in the film in any capacity was a fluke, giving him the lead role was an even greater fluke clearly credited to an aneurysm. He completely overacted the role and made it hard to believe that this was based on Hensberry’s play. Let’s just face Sean Combs, you’re almost as bad at acting as you at dancing. And considering you’ve been doing the same move since the 90’s please stay off my screen. In addition to poorly casting what should’ve been the moving role of Walter Younger, Kenny Leon then apparently threw the play completely out the window and cast a far too old Sanaa Lathan to play Beneatha. Granted I believe Sanaa Lathan is a fine actress, she was too old to even be considered for the lively optimistic Beneatha. I spent half the movie asking why this grown woman was behaving like a child. The only commendable casting was Phylicia Rashad as Lena and Audra McDonald as Ruth. They were a beauty to watch and the only reason I didn’t give this film a 0 rating. Overall I’d only recommend watching this film if you want to see how NOT to perceive this play or if your cable goes out and this movie just so happens to be on your Netflix queue.
