    Absolutely LOVED American Fiction!!!!
    A white guy walked out on American Fiction when I went to see it...I rolled my eyes, he'd already paid and couldn't get his money back, we were like....whatever!😅😅😅

    I saw “The Color Purple” when it first came out in theaters years ago, saw the play, and the current version three times: loved each one independently; I especially loved when my daughters sung along with the finale song: simply beautiful and of course I cried tears of joy❤❤❤

    If you are Black and didn't watch American Fiction, you are truly missing out! One of the best films of the year. The cast is phenominal and the story is right on time. Support films in theaters people! Godzilla Minus One and American Fiction were my teo favorite films of the year.

      I’ve been trying. They didn’t release it in my state until January and we’ve been stuck in snow since the new year. Disappointing, but I’m impatiently waiting for life to resume so my family can go see this movie.

    Shug that was- Taraji P. Henson
    Henson Says 'The Color Purple' Artisans Helped Her Ooze Empowerment as Shug Avery: 'The Sexiest I've Ever Felt in Any Role' Anatomy of a Character: How "The Color Purple" director Blitz Bazawule and the film's artisans made Shug Avery feel empowered and regal.Dec 25, 2023 I love her she is so so talented! She played Cookie on Empire. I knew she could act I did not know she could sing!!

    I’ve seen The Color Purple (original, Broadway and recent adaptation). Loved them all. If you haven’t seen the new adaption, view it for what it is and don’t compare it with others. 💜

    These social constructs are just another form of emotional baggage .You think you need it until you're strong enough to just let tit got.Baggage no matter how much Iit seems benefit you only helps to deter growth & progress!

    Color purple had me crying!! In the book yes ceely and shug were gay!! Who bringing their kid to this movie?? It has violence and SA in it!! Wtf so the fact that ceely was a child having her dad's kids, mister beating ceely and R*** her didn't shock but them kissing was the issue😂 chile whew...
    Leave smitz alone😂❤❤❤❤ 💋

      I'd say less that they are gay but dealing with trauma, finding comfort in each other and I'd even say just trying to survive in a judgemental, misogynistic, openly racist society! Terms like demisexual & pansexual might better apply... This is absolutely unimportant though 😂😂😂😂!

    Don't wait, Professor! Please make an exception for American Fiction, our American masterpiece 😊Erika Alexander and John Ortiz are also in it, Issa Rae is stupid amazing, Miss Uggams (whom I did not know was in it) will break your heart -- everybody brings it, it's magnificently photographed as well -- and you know Mr. Cord Jefferson also wrote your favorite episode of the Regina King Watchmen series (you know the one where the Fred Trump expy gets what he deserves) -- also you do not want to miss some of the White audience (not the ones who laughed in the wrong places, the other ones) walking out of the movie with the same sour lemon faces they had on after Hidden Figures 😄😄

      Co-sign. To wait is to disrespect the actors who need their numbers at the box office. American Fiction is a gem and people will regret not being able to say they saw it in theaters for the full movie experience.

    All things rhythmic require a beat!! As Dr Black said in #Knubia that spiritual connection. The nature of rhythm is lost gotta touch it/ feel it within and the beat/ drums We brought that to life!!!❤️❤️✨✨🫰🏽👌🏽

    I didn't think about it until he said it, but he might be right about Mo'Nique, she may lose a lot of rolls between DA'ViNE and DANIELLE from Color Purple.,as well as OCTAVIA SPENCER...Who walks out of LiON KiNG?😐

    Brother, I want to follow you up on your comment about Corey Hawkins. That didn’t make any sense. Can the man work? And what do you mean “a black guy who can sing and dance?” There were a bunch of black guys who sing and dance in the color purple movie!? If he found himself a niche, let him live! File your comment under Black people complaining about nothing… Much love!

    And instead of taking the genius and running with it, we're still trrying to get wetter water and colder ice. Melanemic people that don't get it either need to be educated or left behind. Just Sayin.
