I had a faint memory of this movie, but I couldn’t find it when I was older because I didn’t remember the name. I scrolled through Netflix one day and found it. I rewatched it and I realized that it’s way more traumatizing because I can fully understand their pain now that i’m older.

    About orange and white (whoopie and Thandiwe) were reciting sexual and racial abuse/violence. Her father touched her, and when mom found out she was pregnant, she forced her daughter to have an abortion. That is also why she is somewhat a nympho, stemming from her trauma because that was the only time she felt seen by her father and men in general.

Their grandfather 'sold' Whoopie off to a white man to give him mixed babies, so he could further abuse them as well.. but the "favorite" sister, Tessa, never got touched and got to live a comparatively good life, that's why Thandie was resentful of her. Thandie and Whoopie were the "same" because her grandfather abused them both and Whoopie did nothing, and actively shamed Thandie for the abuse, pregnancy and abortion, but shielded the younger sister.

Whoopi was trying to tell her her story but Thandie didn't want to hear it. That's why u hear overlapping each other, but all u can hear is Thandie's poem. And u really have to find that DVD bc it tells u more about their color symbolic.

    As most people said in the comments, you have to go back and rewatch this without looking for entertainment. Rarely do men and women get a glimpse into each others world. Welcome to a bit of a Colored Girls' world. Lastly, there were 2 important parts you had trouble with. 1 Macy Gray was performing a "back alley" abortion, and she was knownfor butchering womenin the process. 2nd The poem "Someone Almost Walk of With My Stuff" quote by Loretta Divine was about how women allow or almost allow other's to take, destroy, etc them. Things like their joy, trust, safety, etc. It was summing up all the things these ladies allow other's to take from them. Thanks for reviewing. This a great book and play.

How black people sweep generational trauma under the rug and it festers out of control infecting an entire community of people repeating awful cycles. It made me understand and respect the women in my life more who were failed and taught me to be the change I wanna see.

    From what I can tell with the two sisters is that, the mom had them with a White Man at a young age, over time the dude raped the older girl and she fell pregnant so the mom took her to have an abortion at thatt place (I think the mom blamed the girl so she started treating her badly and favoured the younger one).I think this made her have daddy issues and a low self worth which explains her sleeping around all the time. So in anger and jealousy when the older one found out the young one is pregnant she wanted revenge for herself so she indirectly told her about the abortion place out of spite

    • @jaznabooker910
      @jaznabooker910 10 месяцев назад +43

      Yes !! I was going to type to explain this. I will add that, I don’t think she really wanted her sister/ expected her sister to go get the abortion. She was just gloating on the fact that her mother put her through so much, projected her self hate onto her and putting the little sister on a pedestal instead of understanding that man put trauma into all of them and they are the same. She enjoyed her little sister not being so perfect but her reaction when she still went to go pay for “application fees” shows she still wanted better for her.

      I don't think it was a play in the traditional play sense. Its poems and was performed more like the vagina monolgues i.e people reciting their work or actresses performing reciting their poetry. This is what makes this screenplay brilliant to me. He had to take the poetry of women who did not know each other and never met but who considered suicide into a screenplay with these women interacting and having relationships with each other and keep it all cohesive. Imo is aggression his best work. 👌🏾

And not you catching Janet's "oh so you doing the bending" line lol....now that you know the movie was based on a book of poems/ musical and the full title of the musical is 'For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/ When The Rainbow Is Enuf', if you watch again you'll notice that each actress had a colour assigned to them and they wore or were surrounded by that color each time they were on camera. Janet Jackson/ Jo = red, Thandiwe Newton/Tangie = orange, Anika Noni Rose/ Yasmine = yellow, Loretta Devine/ Juanita = green, Kerry Washington/ Kelly = blue, Tessa Thompson/ Nyla = purple, Kimberly Elise/ Crystal = brown, Whoppi Goldberg/ Alice = white.

    Btw that woman who was a nosy apartment manager & babysat & watched the children drop to death, was the infamous Phylicia Rashad aka Clair Hanks Huxable from the Cosby Show. And she sure did teach Chadwick Bodeman (The Black Panther, r.i.p.) how to be the honest actor before he passed away. She is & still an Idol & a Blessing mom who I truly appreciate her for the rest of my decades. ❤❤❤

    I watched this as a teenager. I could partly relate and understood the themes but it was just so depressing and disturbing. Especially the death of the children. It was the one and only time I watched the film. It just had my emotions on 10 the entire time.

    At the end, after about "laying on the hands", the phenomenal actress was poetically speaking about the "ghost" or her suicidal thought of being a ghost. So when she said,"I love her, FIERCELY!" It was meant she was trying to appreciate & love herself for being alive even tho with regrets & guilt for the loss of her children. She was fighting for herself to be alive & then all of the colors of women came together as a rainbow & grey(the apartment manager) represented rain to help her (brown as a tree) to grow anew.

  • @Nebulametal

    I can totally relate to your reaction when watching *For Colored Girls* for the first time. It really is an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish. The film deals with heavy topics such as love, loss, abuse, and self-discovery, and it does not hold back in portraying the raw emotions associated with these experiences.
    The performances in the movie are absolutely phenomenal, with each actress bringing depth and authenticity to their respective characters. Whether it's Thandie Newton, Kerry Washington, or Janet Jackson, you truly feel their pain, happiness, and everything in between.
    The way the film weaves together the stories of multiple women is impressive, and it effectively highlights the varying experiences and challenges faced by women of color. It exposes the often overlooked issues that these women encounter in their daily lives, showcasing the strength, resilience, and sisterhood that can emerge from such adversity.
    There were moments in the movie that left me genuinely shaken and on the verge of tears. The relatability of the characters and the situations they find themselves in make it impossible not to empathize with them. *For Colored Girls* serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of supporting and uplifting one another as women, regardless of our race or backgrounds.
    Overall, watching *For Colored Girls* was a cathartic experience that left a lasting impact on me. It's a film that delves deep into the human experience, tackling issues that are often swept under the rug. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have watched it and strongly recommend it to anyone who appreciates thought-provoking, emotionally-charged cinema.

    This movie was an adaptation of the Broadway play For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf by Ntozake Shange. It's a choreopoem which is a form of dramatic expression that combines poetry, dance, and song. In the stage production, the women don't have names like they do in the movie and are known by colors ("lady in red", "lady in blue", "lady in yellow", etc). In the movie, notice how the women are wearing a particular color throughout the movie.
    Janet Jackson - red
    Phylicia Rashad - black
    Kerry Washington - blue
    Loretta Devine - green
    Anika Noni Rose - yellow
    Whoopi Goldberg - white
    Thandie Newton - orange
    Tessa Thompson - purple
    Kimberly Elise - brown
