At 6:30 they are using the smaller plates for cake, it is a cut scene bc they didn't film a dinner scene, but they have crumbs remaining on each of their larger plates pushed to the side.
i think they were trying to modernize the story, since the short story was based back in the 1900's. people dont eat ham and lima beans casually anymore lol
I have beenteaching this lesson for more than 4 years to my class 12 students..believe me it has great influence on them🤗...in India ,west Bengal 🙏namaste
I'm glad y'all paid homage to Langston Hughes. It was well done; however, I wish the boy had been a bit younger (b/c that's how he was portrayed originally) and the setting was more old fashioned for the story was made in 1958, but that's my opinion. Nevertheless, I DO like how well the actors presented their role and helped create this story. Thank you for all who participated.
this movie is extremely awesome. It helped me a lot to remember the expression and the main character's actions. thanks a lot for creating this movie. lots of love!!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I teach this story for my high school ESL class, and this film is so amazingly helpful! Fine acting, fine editing, and the big bonus, you used a whole lot of the text as the dialogue. You have helped my students understand the story! If you have videos for other stories, I want to see them!
Thank you for creating this wonderful film adaptation of one of my favorite short stories. I have showed this to my students for a number of years and they love it so much
I asked my teacher if she gave us the right video, and she said "yes". And I am a little bit confused because I didn't know if Roger could change his color so fast😅😅
THIS IS SO GOOD. I scrolled the comments and read that many people were critizing the picture because it was 3:23 instead of 11:00 as the story says, the fact that was too modern,. that there were not people at the house, what is totally stupid because it is really difficult to adapt and make movie if such a great quality. Congrats.
It's very nice of u to make this short , me and my friend had a better vision about the story "Thank you Ma'am" , however we noticed few things that are diffrent from the story.
I had my students note the differences from the story. Then I had them explain why a director would make the changes he did (Roger is white, it's a nice house and not a kitchenette, etc.). They can say and explain why they do or don't like the differences.
Very nice short film I am just promoted to class 12 under West Bengal State board , India and this story is included in our English syllabus So it helps me a lot Love from India 🇮🇳
This video is amazing, it's great!However, there are some parts from the story missing, for an example, the part where Roger asks Mrs.Luella if she needs anything from the shop....Other than that I love it ♥
I love that you guys adapted this, and I like the modern take on it, too, but I think people in the comments section miss the whole point because the context is missing. Someone even talked badly about the way the original characters in the story "talked". 🙄They could only relate and cry because they saw that one of the characters were White. If they'd all been cast by Black people, as the author's experience was, I wonder if half of these people would even cry or even understand the undertones. The boy didn't just steal because he wanted nice shoes. He also stole because in his time period (the 1920s) Black people were largely impoverished, not just because their family members were former slaves but because Black people were still barred from high-paying jobs and education. Little Black boys saw White people around them that could afford things they could never dream of, creating a longing for better. This is the start of where crime in the Black community began and why boys began forming gangs and turning to a life of crime. People refused to hire them so they can make an honest living, so they felt it only fair to survive any way they could. To add, the boy didn't own one nice pair of shoes. The deeper context of this story is missed when people forget who the author is and what experience he was telling from. For a very period and time-accurate portrayal, The Phoenix Learning Group, Inc has a version, too. It's old, but it's GOLD.
Am a Pakistani student hope my teacher shows this to us too if she wills or thinks other wise I'll my self will tell her to consider this if not showing us, “LoL" just telling you to let you know , Am the same literature book student , I've read button button and watched the film too, hope you too
This makes me think of..mature content *cough* *cough* ehh You know how *those* have bad acting? Not saying their acting is bad- but you know what I mean right?
The grabbing of the shoulder instead of a head lock in the book the fact she gets the $20 from her bra the and I’m sure there can be quote that can be taken out of context
Awwwww that was an adorable story and I love how he said thank you ma'am at the end now I want to read the book cuz books are always better than the videos

And what you both agreed for ?
Cake or bread ?🤔
Ma,m look very dangerous😂😂
Ma'am
Hahhah
The fact that she roasts him
there is not mentioned that the lady is not alone in the house.....the laughing of the other roomers is not mentioned....otherwise its nice...
Sumana Parvin and also the nature of the woman's job??
She lived in a New York Apartment. She did not have other people in her home. The voices were other people in her building.
@@mysTAUry she had other rooms
@@3vo803 Mrs. Bates Jones seems to live in a boarding house. The narrator mentions voices of other roomers when they get into the lady's room which is furnished with a kitchenette.
What's also not mentioned is that Roger is a "fourteen or fifteen" year old Black kid and not a 22 year old white man.
And, the food was lima beans and ham...
Mrs Luella gave him half of her cake.
yeah lol i just realize that
At 6:30 they are using the smaller plates for cake, it is a cut scene bc they didn't film a dinner scene, but they have crumbs remaining on each of their larger plates pushed to the side.
Right I was saying didnt She Give Him Lima Beans ham and hot cocoa?😂
Yeah I thought the same thing.
i think they were trying to modernize the story, since the short story was based back in the 1900's. people dont eat ham and lima beans casually anymore lol

The boy needs to be a bit younger, I agree.
Beautiful story with beautiful composition of video.
Ayyyeee, reading/watching this(and the typed version) cause it's an assignment for my online school.
Its 2020 n I'm in class 11 it was good to c this video it really helps me a lot in understanding the context more easier than textual explanation....
