YOU RE THE DEVIL

you used to wear those orange clothes
And aqua green sequins inlaid in the chest like a bud
Silky roses emerge from behind your ears
The flower of your passion winds down Hoover Street
through the dark old house
where the woman from louisiana peels the beans at three o'clock in the afternoon
Take the whistling kid to the store
you shine in...

Because there are cracks in life, the sun can shine in

A good movie can always give strong hope to people living in darkness and pain. "It is because there are cracks in life that the sun can shine in." The suffering of life can’t make people negative because of all kinds of failures and tribulations. We always have to face the life, always have to move forward in life. Only when we are truly strong and truly stand alone, we can truly dare to be brave. When facing the frustrations and hardships of life, the cracked life can emit a rainbow-like...

Those things said in "Rainbow Full of Half the Sky"

Before watching this movie, I have heard about abortion, domestic violence, AIDS, rape... but only for listening. This movie took me into a world that I was so unfamiliar with. It let me know that there are a group of women living like this on the other side of the world. The most successful part of a movie is not only the hard acting of the actors, but the tight and unexpected storyline, the right soundtrack and narration, but also makes the audience feel touched by something after watching...

Every girl is a rainbow, there is no reason to be sad

At present, it seems that the best female film describing the status quo of black women has been highly praised by foreign film critics, saying it is a must see drama. Without subtitles, I rely on my poor English listening skills to support the reading.

The story of eight women, which shows all the misery that a woman may encounter in her life (being deprived; raped; being a trafficker; her husband is a drunk and killed her own pair of children; she was ravaged by her father in her...

No matter how unbearable life is, you must stay strong

It took more than two hours to tell the heartbreaking stories of black women. It may be because of the different times that they feel that many of their ideas do not agree, which has caused so many tragedies, but they are moved by their strength and show The small lack of women has the powerful side. Everyone's monologue is very poetic, whispering sorrow and healing.
What impressed me most was that one of the black women watched her child being thrown downstairs to...

It's hard to be a man, it's hard to be a woman, and it's even harder to be a black woman. A work about black women. The pain that women can encounter is here, and the healing and rebirth of women is also here. The story is very moving, but maybe it would be better if the clues converged a...

Movie quotes

Juanita: Ever since I realized, there was someone called a colored girl or an evil woman, a bitch or a nag I been trying not to be that and leave bitterness in somebody else's cup. Come to somebody to love me without deep and nasty smelling scars from lye or being left screaming in a street of lunatics whispering, 'Slut, bitch, bitch. Nigga, get out of here with all of that.' I didn't have any of that for you. I brought you what joy I found. And I found joy. And then there's that woman who hurt you. And who you left three or four times. And then you went back after you put my heart in the bottom of your shoe. You just walked back to where you hurt and I didn't have nothing. So I went to where somebody had something for me, but none of them were you. I got a real dead loving here for you now, 'cause I don't know anymore how to avoid my own face wet with my tears because I had convinced myself that colored girls have no right to sorrow. I lived for you. I know I did it for myself, but I couldn't stand it. I couldn't stand being sorry and colored at the same time. It's so redundant in the modern world.

Frank: I guess this is goodbye.

Juanita: Like you've never seen it before.
Man #2: Wait, wait, wait. Look, I got something to tell you. I only have about $80 on me.

Tangie: What are you talking about?

Man #2: That's all I have. If you want to go to the ATM, we can do that.

Tangie: You think I'm a hooker?

Man #2: Aren't you?

Tangie: No!

Man #2: I'm sorry. I'm drunk.

[starts laughing]

Tangie: What is so funny?

Man #2: I guess I'm just old-fashioned. What kind of woman picks a man up in a bar and brings him back to her place if she's not a hooker?

Tangie: One that likes to fuck.

[the man starts laughing again]

Tangie: Don't laugh at me.

Man #2: I'm sorry.

Tangie: Don't laugh at me.

Man #2: This is some sick shit.

Tangie: You men with your double standards. You can do it, but a woman can't. Get out. *Get out*!

Man #2: That's a good idea. You seem to do this too often to be healthy.

Tangie: You think I have some kind of disease?

Man #2: If it ain't in your body, it is definitely in your head.

Tangie: You ain't one to judge me you son of a bitch!
Jo: I went to my gynecologist, and before you, every level in my body was fine.

Carl: Baby, are you sick? Talk to me.

Jo: Tell me the truth, Carl. Who have you been sleeping with?

Carl: Jo, I promise you since... Since you and I have been together, I have not slept with another woman, and I promise you that.

Jo: What about a man?

Carl: What the fuck did you just ask me?

Jo: I see the way you look at them when you think I'm not paying attention. I see it. The pool boy in the Hamptons, my driver, the guy the other night at the opera. I see it all, Carl.

Carl: You have no idea how much I hate coming up into this motherfucking house sometimes. Every day, Joanna, if it ain't you telling me what to wear, how to look, calling the shots over my head.

Jo: Are you gay?

Carl: How you gonna ask me a question like that?

Jo: How did you marry a woman, and then turn around and let a man bend you over?

Carl: Ain't nobody bending me over.

Jo: So you doing the bending? Is that what it is?

Carl: I don't wake up holding another man, walking down the street holding some man's hands. That's gay, okay? That ain't me.

Jo: You're saying a lie, Carl. You're saying a lot without saying nothing at all.

Carl: I'm saying that your husband is a man, Jo. I'm a man every day of the week. I'm a man. I'm just a man who enjoys having sex with another man, Jo. No attachments, no fucking... No relationship, just sex, you know? That's what I'm saying, and I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Jo, for my truth.
