Finally ...I had the opportunity to see For Colored Girls. WOW. The movie was amazing, riveting, and definitely Oscar worthy. I laughed, cried, fought and loved in one night and it hit home in so many ways. Definitely a keeper and worth purchasing.
As woman (including me) we tend to forget what makes us who we are as woman. We forget the ties that bind us as woman. We forget we have more in common than we realize and tend to braisingly judge each other because our chapter was or is different. The issues played out through poetry were not unique to a particular race or stature, it was common to all women and captured a commonality of all woman..love and pain in essence our humanity. We all faced trials and tribulations in life and dealt with some or maybe all that was played out on film...hurt, pain, deceit, disease, trust, betrayal, love, abuse, fear, isolation, promiscuity, loyalty to a man over others, motherhood, loss, the inability to conceive, and ghosts of the past. Remember we are only a page away from one another. Remember that before you judge.
Learning is a gift. Even when pain is your teacher. ~Unknown
