The discussions of this text are very interesting because of the various relationships that are being examined through this playwright. Dysfunctional is not even the best word to explain the situations that are presented in the movie, it’s almost a melting pot of various issues, From an estranged relationship between father and son (Brick and Big Daddy), a dissolving marriage (Maggie and Brick) its subplots make eat much more interesting then I had anticipated. The play exposes the dark side of the All-American family. Brick is in constant internal warfare at the fact that his father only loves him for he represents the “All-American”. There are also some modern topics that are brought up such as homo-sexuality (the relationship of Brick and his past teammate and friend Skipper) and how to cope with life obstacles such as death. I believe that the movie actually presented me with a better idea of where the book was going. I personally believe that it was bright spot from where I thought that this book was going to be somewhat boring. The great thing about this play is that it really has a modern tone to it as well. It seems all these situations could have happened in todays world. 
I know that this maybe a little of topic but i found out they had a version of the play with African American cast. With the likes of Terrence Howard, Phylisia Rashaad, and James Earl Jones why in the hell do they have Diddy acting as Guber? You couldn't get anybody else???? c'mon son
