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: [enters the office] Hi! I'm Juanita Sims, and I'm so glad

[shakes hands with Jo]

Juanita: you took this meeting. Now I'll be quick, because I know you're very busy.

[sits on the chair]

Juanita: I read in your magazine about your upbringing. I just knew that this would be a program that you would respond to. First of all, I'm a nurse, and I have just opened a free health and wellness clinic in a community center in one of the poorest neighborhoods in this city. Oh, forgive me. I'm just a little nervous. As you know...

Jo: Where do I come in?

Juanita: Well... It's a little non-profit, and everything I do I do out of my own pocket and...

Jo: Let me stop you right now. I give to cancer, I give to Africa, I give to education. Those are my charities of choice.

Juanita: Well, those are all very good charities, but there is so much need in our own community.

Jo: 'Our?' We are all afforded the same opportunities in 'our' community. What they do with theirs, it is not my issue. Your answer is no. End of conversation.

Juanita: End of conversation?

Juanita: Crystal, show Miss Simmons out.

[Crystal comes in]

Jo: It's Sims. Miss Juanita Sims.

[leaves Jo's table]

Crystal: [to Juanita] Right this way.

Juanita: [stops and turns back to Jo] No. I've been waiting out there in that damn lobby of yours for over an hour for you. Now, it's cool, you don't want to give any money, I get that. But this attitude, this blatant disrespect for other people's time and feelings, well, honey, that's just ridiculous. Does it take all of this for you to be that? Then, honey, if it does, then you may be paying just a little too much. And I can see myself out of this tacky-ass place. Ain't got no color up in here, all this white. No color up in this place, including you.

[walks out of the office]

Juanita: Tacky-ass heifer. Wait till I tell everybody how tacky you are. I can show my own self out, thank you very much.

[tries to open the door]

Juanita: How do I open this damn door?
Juanita: Somebody almost walked off with all of my stuff and didn't care enough to send a note home saying "I was late for my solo conversation" or "two sizes too small for my own tacky skirts". What can anybody do with something of no value on an open market? Did you get a dime for my things? Hey, man! Where are you going with all of my stuff? This is a woman's trip and I need my stuff to "Ooh" and "Ah" about. Honest to God, somebody almost ran off with all of my stuff and I didn't bring anything but the kick and sway of it. The perfect ass for my man and none of it is theirs. This is mine, Juanita's own things. That's my name. Now give me my stuff. I see you hiding my laugh and how I sit with my legs open sometimes to give my crotch some sunlight. This is some delicate leg and whimsical kiss. I gotta have to give to my choice. So you can't have me unless I give me away. And I was doing all that till you ran off on a good thing. And who is this you left me with? Some simple bitch with a bad attitude? I want my things. I want my arm with the hot iron scar. I want my leg with the flea bite. Yeah, I want my things. I want my calloused feet and quick language back in my mouth. I want my own things. How I loved them. Somebody almost ran off with all of my stuff and I was standing there looking at myself the whole time. It wasn't a spirit that ran off with my stuff. It was a man whose ego walked 'round like Rodan's shadow. It was a man faster than my innocence. It was a lover I made too much room for. Almost ran off with all my stuff and the one running with it don't know he got it. I'm shouting, "This is mine!" and he don't even know he got it. My stuff is the anonymous ripped-off treasure of the year. Did you know somebody almost got away with me? Me, in a plastic bag under his arm. Me, Juanita Sims. Somebody almost walked off with all my stuff.
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.
