From The Paper to the Screen: For Colored Girls

Cover via Amazon The Movie For Colored Girls open last week and it has the African American community talking like crazy. Tyler Perry has managed to touch the hearts and souls of many folks in the black community. The Movie starring Janet Jackson Whopi Goldberg and host of others brought to light the struggle of the blackwomen in America. This movie deals with each women being a certain color which was a reflection of their personality type. Janet Jackson was very cold and distant with the men she was dating, and while other actress played roles of being the whore etc.

The movie is also getting mixed reviews from the black male community who says that once again black men are being shown in a sterotypical way from being the pimp, rapist, and child molester etc. Mr. Courtland Milloy a writer for the Washington Post commented on Tyler Perrys movie as being "as showing the blackman in a negative light" Tyler Perry has been able to get out a wide range of movies in Hollywood that deals the black communities story. I think this is a movie that will have alot of people talking at the coffee table.
