For Colored Girls: Male Bashing or Not?

Definitely not! I think this movie is a great adaptation of the award-winning play “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf by Ntozake Shange. The poems, even though written over 30 years ago, are relevant today. I think Tyler Perry’s adaptation brings these poems to life in a modern day society where certain situations are taboo to speak about especially in the African American community. The message I gathered from the movie was nothing about male bashing but of the resilience of a woman and about how we need to be responsible for our actions and choices in life even when our love is being challenged. I, personally, saw myself in at least four of the women in the movie. As a whole, we need to start looking for the positive in things instead of the negative. Negativity is everywhere but the whole picture is the purpose of the art. The stories were about the women and how certain situations bring them together in sisterhood and in love. Men stop thinking everything is about you because it’s not! Let's Talk About It!
