This movie will forever be embedded in my memory. Although not of the generation of Ntozoki Shange's I do own the book, For Colored Girl, but to say the least, this movie was amazing and is definitely DVD purchasing worthy. It not only higlights the struggles the black women but also depict how we overcome those struggles. Hands down it is a riveting movie and I'll definitely be purchasing it tonight.
I guess I am at a "different" place... everyone loves this move. However to me it made us all look bad, when truth is- this is NOT everyone's story. We didn't have have this struggle. and though I know a lot of people who did; as we try to get out of what was and live in the what is today- it is a bad reminder. I could only watch it 1 time because I cried too much! lol
