Why did I get Married - Jill Scott

[Kimbelle10]

I'm crying!

Lol!

Love this woman...

[misplacedhawaiian]

he doesn't criticize me...Miss waking up with joy in my heart!

[oerochick]

i love this part

[titusact4scene2]

Let jesus date the mammies.Let me have the fine black women!

[BlackBarbieMekaBoo]

This scene always makes me cry. Jill deserves an award for this performance.

[titusact4scene2]

Orwellian propaganda for demoralized oppressed souls.

[titusact4scene2]

The coon culture centers around the queen Coon, AKA The "mammie".The Mammy is usually an obese,sexless black women,whose only man is Jesus.Her large figure is seen as power.Her fear of the lord is confused as "wisdom".The police and social case workers usurp the role of the father.Pride in manhood is viewed as foolish.Ambition viewed as vanity.Men are reduced to useless drones.All oppressed ppl maintain coon cultures.THE REBIRTH OF THE BLACK MAN(ORDER) BEGIN WITH THE DEATH OF THE MAMMY(CHAOS)!

[honeegrrl]

I was with a horrible man for years and at my age I probably won't find real love but the good thing is I'm happy now.

[yoswifey]

@honeegrrl I don't think you are ever too old to find real love, don't give up on it.

[honeegrrl]

@yoswifey Thanks for the kind words but there is nobody out there that I want and doesn't want me. But that's fine, I have a good career that allows me to help people in need. I just put all my energy in my work.

[salvarez8]

this touches me so much i was about to marry a man that was cheating on me he wasn't there for me when i needed him he used to criticize me my best friend was there by my side through it all he was everything that my ex bf was not after all the suffering and pain i found happiness this is so real to me it makes me cry

[88musiclver]

I love how they all look in this scene so beautiful and I love all their dresses!

[TheGoalSetter]

I like Perry's movies, but I really dislike Jill Scott and Tanesha Smith.

Jill Scott is a racist...she actually said, "When I see a black man with a white woman, I wince.” and a ton of other racist stuff.

Scott says she was called the n-word by some whites. If true, those whites suck. But I don't believe her...not after all the stupid things she says in public.

And Smith really is the obnoxious, bigoted, horrible jerk that she plays. She gets screen time only because of her body.

[MizzGlass]

@TheGoalSetter She gets screen time because her character is FUNNY. I think you took what Jill Scott said in that article the wrong way, but whatever.

[lopezm7171]

I was in an abusive relationship for 10 years til I realized that people do unto you as only YOU allow. Pack my things and for the next 10 years I was single dating here and there but nothing committing as I never FELT as tho I could love or trust again. Then HE came into my life! The first time I saw this and heard he say..."I wake up with so much joy in my heart" I cried and almost a year later he got me still waking up with so much joy in my heart! Dont give on yourself or love.

[pdoll96]

@lopezm7171 thats wonderful. I was in an abusive relationship for a shorter time than that and its been about 7 yrs since I have been out but my heart is just semi-thawed :) I still have trust issues and have not dated. Sometimes I want someone and sometimes I don't. Jill Scott played this so heartfelt and brought tears to my eyes. I pray that I get to a place of wholeness and healing in my heart.

[EmmanuelxMusic]

I've never been married and I'm only 19 but I know exactly how she feels.... I have had this problem over and over again with everyone in my life....... they have abused me and they have taken me for granted... they dont respect me or even like me cuz i hear them talking behind my back... i have been depressed and I have prayed to God for so many years but I finally see the light.... everything happens for a reason and I know He wont let me down! There IS a light in the end of this tunnel!!

[niyabev]

I need the part where angela and the mistress meet again.

[honeygaal]

LOVE THIS>>> I know Jilly from Philly!

[peachyness223]

This move clip brings tears to my eyes to see someone struggle and finally they are happy. beautiful moment.... saw myself and it really touchs the heart

[lusciuosb]

I came across this and had to share. True Friends are there for you through pain and deliverance.

[kyrie960]

i watched this video and i cried. I saw myself and a good friend in the this movie and i am happy and empowered that i have watched it because it shows that sometimes a woman has just got to stand up on her own two feet and take care of herself. Sometimes we get so carried away with looking after everyone else we do forget to look after ourself...love happiness and peace to you all x

[hazeleyes171]

This is me. I am so blessed with a man who loves me from head to toe--unconditionally. I have so much joy in my heart as well. I am so glad that I left the no goods behinds. That is where they belong: BEHIND you.

[remiddle]

Coming from a man, that was a touching scene. But it's so funny how so many females are commenting about how bad their situations are and blaming men for it! I'm a guy who's spiritual, educated, attractive and in shape, but who's also understanding of today's black woman. But many of my sistas don't give a you know what about guys like me! And i'm not talking about them loving thugs, more so I think many of them are attracted to drama. It gives them a sense of importance. It's just funny to me.

[08152009]

you met the wrong ones.

[anastasiax1000]

@remiddle im a girl and ur right we are sorry for misunderstanding u forgive us

[AER666]

the 80/20 rule is so true...

[shatyraboyd]

i was in a relationship and the guy didnt love me and this was in 99 i found the love of my life. in march of 2009 i got married he is everything you could want in a man she said it i have joy in my heart !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

[dangerezcurvez]

My heart aches so bad! My husband decided to put me under to keep his affair. But JUST Sat., "I need my wife, I'm so miserable without you!" But decides to stay with his itch who can't find her own husband?! Men chooses for the moment, without thinking long term cause they're scared! Just like a jelly fish..no backbone! It hurts so so bad! I was soo n2 my husband..there wasn't NOTHING I wouldn't do for him. If killing yourself wasn't a sin..I wouldn't be here!  BUT God is still in control!

[kyrie960]

@dangerezcurvez you said it your self. He is nothing,you deserve someone who loves you and will treat you the way you ought to. Killing urself would be a crime and your husband wouldn't give u a second thought if you were gone. How do u know he hasnt more than one woman .????? are u deluding urself this isnt a marriage ur his glorified housekeeper with benefits if ur getting any ???

[carmendecor]

@dangerezcurvez..I don't want to sound preachy or anything but check it....You place your huband before God when in reality God first family second...God has all the answers to what you need in LIFE....It seems hard right now but in reality....When you take your eyes off the problem and focus on the solution and depart yourself mentally and physically from this toxic relationship...You Win...

[bones0612]

I can relate totally to this video and it really brought back alot of old and present feelings for me. I cry everytime I watch this video. Alot of women can relate to this and I am glad they made this movie so that other woman can know they are not alone. I hope one day to be as happy as Jill Scott is in this movie.

[demaris2]

one day I will be happy like this.

[Hauraunah]

@demaris2

Your sn is my highschool friend's name.

You can be happy that way but you can't let the pain before it ruin you before you can get there.

[NINO15MYNINO]

continuation.....I cried so hard for my child and for the hope, i would build an intact family.the day after we had a fight, i accidentally watched half of the film and I cried so much.. its as if, God answered me because of these movie,especially in this part.I hope this was a sign from HIMthat i now turn to myself and my child and proceed w/ life,even without him.

[NINO15MYNINO]

me and my fiance got a breaking argument.we did have a child already & marriage is the only thing im waiting for.weve been for 6 years but for that long years, i never knew him at all.he was abroad.all i have done was to wait for his words but eventually said he's not ready for family man...

[carmendecor]

@NINO15MYNINO ...Your so call selfish Fiance only had himself in mind...His thinking why married the cow and I got everything else for free....Us females are more emotional and the majority of men get a free pass nothing more.....

[misstoopz]

this is truth! i was with a guy who didn't love me...he didn't treat me right and I was trying to change him and bring him back to God. i felt exactly like Sheila did! man im so glad that God has brought me out of all of this...and i am looking forward to the man that GOd has prepared for me!!! Thank you Lord!!

[Shewants2move]

Please....Please....Please make this available to embed. It's important that our sisters know that true love can find us no matter the circumstances!

[Prtymochagrl]

This scene makes me cry.

[Monk3597]

Jill's character was so pathetic in this movie.

[Rebelliousbynature]

You know, it's definitely empowering for women..Jill Scott is an amazing talent, I was floored by her acting ability, love love her music, but I think anyone can fit in this case scenario, male, female, gay, straight..when she says, he dont love me, he done like me..it's one thing to be loved but another to be liked..its so important to have both..I was crying through this whole seen..bravo

[broke2471]

Janet said that she enjoyed working with this entire cast & that she was so thankful to Tyler Perry for including her in this film. She also said that she related so much to Jill Scotts character of all..and it is so true that if you go looking for a man or woman, you will eventually find the wrong one, but sit back and let God send you who he wants you to be with, and if U choose the wrong one & think God sent him as your soulmate & it doesn't feel right, then God didn't send him.

[TheLovelylove]

@broke2471 So true! I haven't seriously dated anyone in 3 years,I'm still pretty young,but def get told to 'find someone and hurry up and have kids'.I want all those things! But like u said,as soon as u look for someone,or be one of those girls who thinks if a guy winks at u,or holds the door open for you,he's the one,ur too hopeful and searching.Your man,the real true one,will come when he is supposed to,and will bring no desperation with him.

[IndiraNinou]

I was married for 11 yrs to a man that just didn't want to be married I tried so hard for years prayed for God to help us but it just didn't work cuz I was praying to God to bless a marriage that He didn't have planned for me. Now after the tears & pain i finally stepped back & let God do what He does He sent me the most wonderful man He is so good to me and loves me completely I thank God for him ALL the time. It is NOTHING like having a partner that loves you completely. Thank u God for him

[victoriaha01]

@IndiraNinou congratz to you :)

[ceecee4]

@IndiraNinou Praise God! :)

[mindy166]

@IndiraNinou so glad uve found happiness=)what god has for you is for you=)

[rmbb10]

I love this clip; so powerful.

[Alize1080]

I have been with my fiance for 10yrs I have gone thru all the things sheila's husband has done 2 her & I keep trying to make it work cuz of my kids.. At times I even wonder if I will ever be loved the way I should be by someone who will love me just as much as I will love them so I understand everything there saying in this movies because it is the truth, some men dont appreciate a good thing even when its looking at them right in the face..

I LOVE U JILL SCOTT SO MUCH U OPENED UP MY EYES..

[mydeardiaries]

MY FRIEND HAS TOO FOR 17 YRS--4 kids----and no marriage----so she woke up-------and he lives some where else. these men do not see marriage as beingi mporant.

[VONZIPPERBOI23]

i just finished watching this movie with my boyfriend of almost 2 years..who i love so much but who i think doesnt love me as i do...i feelin this scene....i kno its cliche but i want to feel what jill is feelin...i wanna be loved for me..i wanna feel tru love agian...*sniff...love u jill scott!!

[OnlyInTheNYC]

i know exactly what u mean..

[paradise514]

I wanted to watch this movie with a guy to try to get him to understand life and relationships for a so called man of God. There is much more to it than sex or aesthetics. Besides, looks will only take a person so far. Espec. weight. =]

[TheLovelylove]

I was so impressed with this! It was so perfect in the best ways. Another really brilliant part in d movie is when Janet Jackson talks about how her son died. It's painful 2 watch so that's probably y I can't find it, nobody wanted 2 upload it. I f somebody can please let me know. It's d some of the best acting u can c in forever!

[bmrcutiepie]

i like when she saw trina again n she was like i didnt know if i would cuss u out, s-stomp u in the street, wh-whoop... that... ass"

[vdubbjeff]

Cutiepie I cracked up when she said that part..... she was so polite about it.

[showgurls]

God is good. He will allow you to go through something to appreciate something. I feel like this sometimes

[rtoriq]

i think they said (behind the scenes etc.) that this part was done unscripted. UNscripted. Freestyle acting?? The woman is a Goddess.

--------------

and reflect.

[tweetygurl252000]

i wish i could find love lik dat im young but i still need some one to love me for me you no im tired of being alone .......

[17nmg]

This is my favorite part of the movie!!! It shows that there really is triumph after the obstacle, especially when the obstacle is built around so many emotions. I love it!!

[babykiwi87]

Jill is awesome...awesome scene girl!

[amack531]

I remember watching this movie and thinking it was so silly and cliche and preachy...and then I got to this scene. OMG. Her emotions hit me dead on. I had just gotten out of a BS marriage and was working hard to making my life work all on my own. To see this character so filled with joy at overcoming her obstacles truly inspired me. Well done Miss Scott!

[sweeteeThai]

when i watched this movie in theatres all i heard thruout the entire movie was sniffing and laughing lol! i love how he put comedy and real life issues all in one. by jus lookin at this clip i cried, its so hard nt to with his movies! and jill scott was amazing and perfect for this role! props fr her!!

[lyriclissa]

I cried with the movie lol. So many women feel exactly the same way.

[mzsandy1023]

That's what friends are for. That was so touching.

[ASPRINALARD]

Wow! Is there anything that this extraordinary woman can't do? Brilliant!

[escapedlabmonkey7053]

Apparently not.

[maria494]

Jill is amazing. This movie showed her real talent. LOVE this.

[honeegrrl]

I so loved this part of the movie. I used to be just like Jill's character and had an ignorant man just like Jill's character. I'm single now but I'm so happy now because I see that I'm better off without him.

[victoriusvee10]

i have been in that situation far to many times i know how she feels

[prettygurl19201]

i love this part i no how she feel

[87Jjj]

this was my fave part too

[MizzCrissyBabii]

aww that's a nice scene!

[Nadia3030]

I LOVED THIS SCENE!!!! LOL OMG, I was cryin right along with Jilly!
