I have to say that Loretta Divine was one I could not help but laugh at in this scene. I know the movie was not a comedy, but she was so funny in this scene.
I wanted to see this movie really because of Loretta Devine. I expected nothing other than exceptional and exceptional was she! I love any movie she plays in.....I love her as a actress. She is awesome!
I really did not want to see it because of it's heaviness. I read the book. I knew after watching it, I would want to slap every man I ran into after.....sure enough, that is just what I wanted to do!
Read the book in high school, and saw this a few weeks ago with my sister and loved it. Although I love all of Tyler Perry's work, but this was excellent. I don't know what the hell critics were talking about. They never wanna give him any credit for what he tries to do. Because of him, more and more people, especially women, are looking deeper within themselves.
Boycott Modern Day Minstrels, Buffoonery and Coonery starting 4/22/2011. Demand diversity and deeper concepts. Establish balance now!!! Help us fight against hegemonic encoding, mass media mind control and stereotypical characterizations. If you're tired of continual portrayals of extreme racial stereotypes and mass media mind control copy and post this in material concerning the topic.
worst movie ever... it was dragging the whole time. Women would love this movie, focused on relationships. For me this movie was horrible not the story but the fact that it was boring as hell.
Just saw this movie and Loretta's story reminded me a lot of the song "Stay" by Sugarland....Her character could really relate to that song if she enjoyed country music that is...
I saw this as a stage play and liked it but I absolutely loved the movie. I had read the poetry as a teen-ager but the interactions of the actors and actresses was so real and some events that could not be re-enacted on the stage we "lived" during the movie. (The death of the children) I lost a loved one and knew exactly what that mother was feeling. I recommended a male friend of mine take his girlfriend. He could not thank me enough. It made him re-examine his prior relationships.
As a young, black, film maker, I hate films like this. They make us black men look like evil, beasts. Thanks Tyler Perry, no wonder people don't like watching the negative films you make.
I just love Loretta! Something about this clip makes me want to say, "Amen,, woman! You tell him!". Thing is, I have yet to see this movie. What I have seen looks amazing, though!
@darkb4lightt PLease check it out.....it's really a good movie, it just shows different trials and tribulations that different women face on different levels dealing with different situations in thier lives.....
I just finished this movie.. and I'm a white 14 year old.. but I cried. I am amazed.. I honestly did not expect anything like this.. it was beautiful.
i love loretta divine and the role she played. i liked when she recited "somebody almost walked off with all of my stuff" and i liked thandie newton and phylicia rashad's characters also.
powerful movie i saw the play as a teenage girl! I thought it was excellent. u know what??? aint nobody else gonna walk off with alla my stuff u can believe that
I did a movie review and gave this movie A+ 4 ****. Acting was excellent. Awards! Wow! who will b nominated. Excellent acting. : ) Support the arts. Dj Smooth : )
@brnsilkysmooth I think Loretta Devine, Kimberly Elise and Michael Ealy will receive a lot of nominations, especially Loretta Devine because that speech she gave about "how somebody gotta away with all her stuff" was so unbelieveable and outstanding, she stole this movie from everybody else, but Michael Ealy played a alcoholic so well I was afraid at times and Kimberly Elise was just mesmerizing as Crystal. I think those 3 will get a lot of nominations and possibly Anika Noni Rose
@wrightbrooks U know all the characters played a great role. I am happy not 2 b in their shoes when. We just have 2 wait and see. lol Thanks wrightbrooks for your input. Luv that quote. "how somebody gotta away with all her stuff" Tight! So let me know if u here anything. Stay in touch. God Bless Dj Smooth : )
@MalcomAP Angela Simmons wasn't in the movie. That was Tessa Thompson. She did a good job too, especially when she performed the poem about abortion and the "steel rods". Amazing.
like this video and keep up the goood work tylerp...And for the ones on here that is making comments abt this scene you all should be ashamed of yall selves....to even let words come out of yall's mouth like that....
I saw this when it was a play in San Francisco back in the late 1970's. It was absolutely great!! I am looking forward to seeing the film. I hope it stays true to the play. If the one trailer I just viewed (Ms. Devine and the plant) is any indication, then it appears Mr. Perry has stayed "true" to the play. Thank You, sir!!
You guys are soooo dumb the title is not racist. Colored can mean several things in fact in the context of the film colored means anything but white. Several of the characters are actually hispanic and or mulatto....In the original play one girl I believe was half hispanic.
Alsooooo I am so excited to see this as a film student woooo. :D
Also Janet's smile is to die for she melts my eart every time
Its just a catchy name damn mofos always tryna make something about them wen everything is for white girls get the fuck outta here aint shit racist about this.... why u watching it anyways!
@julzabro I'm sorry if you feel that this movie is only for black people. It is not it is for both men and women of all shades and colors to come and see. The only reason it's called "For Colored Girls" is because it is an adaptation of a play. So please don't miss out on this incredible movie, because of the title. The title doesn't mean anything. The only thing that matters are the stories, how you relate to these stories, and what you'll take from the movie after watching it.
@JDMNGAGC I didn't feel as tho this was just for black people...thus, the sentiments of my original comment. I was being sarcastic with regard to the title as others had commented on but also pointing out, as you've said, that it's NOT just for black girls....;)
@shaun0069 It's just a shortened title of the original "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf". IMO everyone is of color, even white people (if it's in a box of crayola crayons, it's a color). But even more importantly, we are apart of the human race, there just happens to be a little variety.
pale ass cracker barrel cheddar bob white trash! dont nobody care about being called a NIGGER or anything else that word has no more power think of something else! u just jealous that all cuz u trash u actually got time 2 try n degrade someone lol just remember we the first kind okay so i understand y u would b jealous! u r nothin u come from hate, greed and murders
