Movie Review: "For Colored Girls"
OK, if you are a friend of mine on twitter or facebook,you may have had the chance to read some of my comments, not about the movie itself, but more of commentary of the experience my bestie and I had at the chosen theater we were at.
The movie for one was very good (as I knew it would be) although it did get very mixed review from critics/movie goer's. It's a good thing I don't usually read them. I have grown to like TP's recent films, so I decided to try this one on for size.
I think it was cast really well, and everyone did a very good job with their perspective roles. Some roles I wish they did more with, they came off as filler characters to me, but as I said, all in all, it was really good. It took me a few minutes to realize that some of the characters dialog was Shange's actual poems, lol, I was about to say, some of these bitches are to deep for their own good, lol.
I appropriately funny, it was appropriately ethnic, and it was appropriately tragic, meaning for it being deemed an ethnic film, it wasn't all drinking, gang banging, shooting down in cold blood, down their luck, homeless project, BeBe's Kids drug infested project folk.
With the title being "For Colored Girls" it does come off as once again being an ethnic film, but coming to understand the poets depiction of colored, meaning we are all colored.... black, brown, yellow, red, white, orange (for those spray tanners out there, lol) we are all colored, and I think that is a beautiful statement.
If you have a chance to see it before it is out of theaters, please do! If not, when it comes to Blu-Ray/DVD, please rent it, buy it, add it to your collection.
I give it a braid pullback, a lip smack, neck/eye roll, pony whip and a MMMMMMHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM1 GGGGUUUUUURRRRRRLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!
Things I have learned from watching "For Colored Girls"
1. Do NOT go see it in the following cities, as I mentioned above, you will get all kinds of commentary that you will not find on the Blu-Ray/DVD, but you may find on the bootleg
Long Beach, Inglewood, Culver City, Compton, Crenshaw, Baldwin Hills, Torrance, Hawthorne, uhm, Wilmington, Gardena.... I think you catch my drift (no matter how bougie of an area it might be, they will find there ways there)
2. Apparently since we are all colored, Rhinestones fall from my buttocks, and glitter lines my inner thighs, so, I apparently have a magical boogina :-)
3. If your man is crazy, you know he's crazy, he is not going to change just because you cry and ask him to, when he's asleep grab yo shit, and yo chillrens and get the hell out while you still can!!!
4. If I hold hands with another dude while walking down the street, Dat's Gay, but if I just so happen to enjoy having sex with men... I'm just having sex with men, that doesn't make me gay, if I come home to a woman, that's fine.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, but as I said it time and time again, GO SEE IT, IT'S GOOD!!!
NAMASTE BITCHES!!
