Does anybody else admire Joe Starks in a way? Of course the man was arrogant, and insensitive; but you have to take into account the time period and how most men treated their wives, or women alone during the time. Look at it this way- he arrived to this wooded cult like village with practically nothing but the clothes on his back, and built it up to a small working class town.
seriously, if yall are that upset of how janie is portrayed, blame the writers and producers of the movie, not her. she was just doing her job as she was given
Honestly, I'm sick n' tired of seeing Halle Berry play illiterate roles of black women. It makes her look whorish and non classy. When is she ever going to play a role of an educated black woman?
Uggh, Janie Was Not Like This In The Book, She Was a Quiet Girl, Who Did What She Was Told, and Never Made a Fuss, She Was Not This Involved In Joe's Doings For Eatonville, She Was The Trophy To look At, !! uggh, upset.
In the book Janie rarely talked or left the house/store and that was the point. She eventually comes out and finds her voice. She def wasnt helping build anything. I'm already disappointed by this movie. :(
@vaishnavi7780 yes they did they've been there for a long time before 1930's but im not talkin bout the era she played in im talking bout halle berry herself it just seems like she never wears one. lol
Seriously, this movie is no where near as good as the book...and I haven't even read the book yet!! But I'm thinking it HAS to be better than this piece of watered down cliched shit.
I am sorry for the mistake in the question. Thank you for letting me know about it. I meant to ask if anyone has read the book Keeper of the House by Rebecca T.Godwin. Thanks:)
I don't think that's fair. It's true, they add a lot of dialogue for Halle, but Hurston also doesn't really describe the day-to-day process with which Jody builds the town, with Janie's help. Although, from what we read about Jody and how he wants Janie to "class off" and play the part of the proper mayor's wife, it's hard to imagine him letting her haul wood with those other women.
I thought I was the only one! lol I love the pink shirt and blue top she had on in the other video too. They'd be like wearing robes compared to thin clothes today, but I love them! ^_^
yeah, you see when she was being affectionate with him, he just stood there looking all high and mighty. It's clear she was just a trophy wife to him. Shame.
It's sad...I really thought Joe would be a good husband since he treated her like a queen. Then again, money is not the same as love and passion.
