A Raisin In The Sun -- A Great Dramatic Scene "Child, when do you think is the time to love somebody the most, when he's done good and made everything easy for everybody. Oh no, no, that ain't the time at all. It's when he's at his lowest and he can't believe in himself cause the world done whipped him so. When you start measuring somebody child, measure him right, measure him right. You make sure you've taken into account the hills and the valleys he's come through to get to wherever he is." Powerful dialogue from the classic and award-winning film based on the play, A Raisin in the Sun, written by Lorraine Hansberry, about a poor working class African-American family struggling for a better way of life while living crammed into a small Chicago apartment during the 1950's. Lena Younger (Claudia McNeil), the matriarch of the family, decides to use part of the proceeds from her deceased husband's insurance policy to buy a house in the suburbs. However, after being conned out of the rest of the money, her son, Walter Lee (Sidney Poitier), decides to take money from a neighborhood citizens group not to move into the house which is in an all White suburb. This earns him the total contempt from his sister, Beneatha (Diana Sands) and despair from his mother. His wife is played by Ruby Dee.

Unforgiven - A Greatest Fight Scene - Just before he is about to be shot and killed in cold-blood by William Munny (Clint Eastwood) in the film, "Unforgiven," the Sheriff (Gene Hackman), another violent and brutal man, says, "I don't deserve this,...to die like this. I was building a house." In the midst of a great modern western, certain troubling questions are presented. Is there truly a difference between "good" violent men and "bad" ones, or will they all in up in "hell" together? Can the "unforgiven" find any sort of redemption through violence and brutality. Strange paradoxes exist in the lives of such people and the world they have created. The film, "Unforgiven," is truly great for its story, directing and acting as it deglamourizes violence in a film genre known for doing the opposite.
