Read the play a couple weeks ago and saw the movie yesterday. It's super faithful to the play. One thing I noticed seeing the movie that I didn't pick up when I read the play [spoilers] was that Lyons and Cory end up in the end just like troy and Gabe. Lyons is pursuing his dream and went to prison just like troy, and Cory is in the military/marines, just like Gabe. It's the cycle of the father-sons relationship. The ending seems hopeful about this though: troy says he hopes his father is dead but turns out just like his father, whereas Lyons and Cory lament and acknowledge their father's death in the end, and, therefore, might learn from toy's mistakes in a way that troy didn't learn from his father's mistakes (although, as said above, Lyons just got out of jail...)
Anyway, Troy maxson is such a classic character, and Denzel did him justice. I'm glad he got most of the actors from his Broadway run in it, because they all did great.
Loved the movie.
