For Colored Girls...A Must See!!

If you haven’t went and seen “For Colored Girls” you are really missing out. Its Tyler Perry’s adaptation on the play by Ntozake Shange's "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf”. The movie has a great cast of black actresses including Janet Jackson, Kerry Washington, Loretta Devine, Anika Noni Rose, Kimberly Elise, Phylicia Rashad and Thandie Newton. (Almost any movie that has Janet in it I’m going to see, I think she’s a wonderful actress, I’ve loved her since “Poetic Justice” ) The movie is based upon the relationships that the women have had with the black men in their lives. Without telling you how the movie unfolds I will just let you know that one relationship involves domestic violence, another involves a woman always taking back a cheater, while still another deals with a woman who has many different sex partners on a regular basis. This movie was so moving, I swear I almost cried 3 times. It was so touching because I could honestly see people I know and even myself in some of these characters, it was that realistic. We as black women honestly take a lot from our black men and we should start thinking about our own well being first. “For Colored Girls” was very deep and factual, unlike most of Tyler Perry’s movies. Perry really redeemed himself when he made this movie. The world we live in is full of it…By: Megan Chase www.twitter.com/meganchase1
