I don't know why this moving film is so little paid attention to. I don't know that it is not enough pomp and publicity and not enough subtitles. The only source of the film that is leaked is that translation is not as good as no translation. It is difficult to grasp the precise meaning of the large monologue adapted from the poem. Therefore, the sad and sour poetry brewing in the film is gone, and there is only a soul that can't go away.
In black films, the director is a man, but it is about women's grief. I feel that the significance of the film is not just about the encounters of black women, but actually extends to being a woman. The eight women in the movie have experienced all the pain and shock that a woman can withstand, from the most superficial falling in love with an irresponsible man, to the most terrifying domestic violence, all the tragedies that women fear, one by one. go through. It is obviously black skin, but if the name of the movie is for colored girls, the director wants each of them to represent a wink, like a rainbow.
The lines are very good, very beautiful, there are a lot of monologues, it feels like a drama more than a movie. Full of poetic strength, but looks very life. Like the previous "Treasure", life is no more than beasts, and you must always learn to love yourself. You may not be able to choose your skin, gender, or certain encounters, but you can always choose how to live this life.
This movie has a title to complete the second half of the sentence: For those girls of color who think about suicide when the rainbow appears.
In this movie, Jenny Jackson looks exactly like her brother, especially with short hair.
