film Fences changed our understanding for the play Fences. We discussed that throughout the movie‚ the dialogue flowed smoother compared to trying to understand and read it in play form. We also discussed how the movie brought out more raw emotions throughout the characters which made them more likeable on the screen than they appeared on paper.

very good job of portraying the emotions the characters were experiencing during the play.
