FOR COLORED GIRLS

Plot:

This film derives from the 1974 stage play by Ntozake Shange, For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf, taking you through the lives of various women who are represented by colors and poems. Their trials and tribulations, and how they strive to overcome the obstacles that plague them because of their womanhood, everything from physical abuse, rape and abortions.

Reel Talk:

This movie is truly an intense film that deals with a lot of intense situations. Situations that are befalling us all or people that we may know, helping us to relate to what’s going on with the characters in the movie. With Tyler Perry at the helm as producer and director and an all star cast consisting of Kimberly Elise, Janet Jackson, Kerry Washington, Whoopi Goldberge, Phylicia Rashad and Thandie Newton just to name a few, the performances are powerful. If you were ever privileged to have seen the stage play you will surely appreciate the movie and if you did not, you will still enjoy it.
