we are all colored girls, in the pursuit of our own rainbows

I read the two books "the hope" and "the color purple", and I have a lot of interest and emotions about the stories of these colored women and girls. The movie can give four stars and give these actors their superb acting skills, especially the long line skills. But I always feel that the director has used too much force and directed it to the direction of the stage play. It is my feeling of the whole film that it is too late.

"For colored girls, who have considered suicide but are moving to the ends of their own rainbows" The film uses rainbow colors to type this text at the end, which is intended to use the rebirth of the 8 black women in the film to tell us "Sunshine After the storm."

The reason why I want to write this short review is because I received a phone call from a girlfriend after watching the movie. The topic is not easy and our mood is more down. Maybe we have been stubbornly following our own values ​​to do things, and want to pursue a state that is as pure as possible. As everyone knows, the process of stumbling makes you physically and mentally exhausted. In the end, you have become a "colored girl" in the eyes of the world. This brings me back to the question my psychologist said, "Whether the choice you face is to go on or seek Change, avoid this hurdle?". Of course, the psychiatrist just pointed out the problem in one sentence and would not give an answer. Only oneself is one's own God. As my motto these days is "Only your own hands can support your own waist." In fact, we don’t know how many times we have conducted this kind of conversation in our inner circle. It is not that this question has no solution. In fact, the answer is already in our minds. Although my best friend clamored, "I was not good when I met people at the beginning, and now I regret that I will break the old world and build a new world." In fact, I am sure that when the sun rises tomorrow, she will still be the same. Not afraid to fall, get up and run again, losing yourself is the most life-death thing for us.

So ah, scold and curse, have a mouth addiction, somehow repair the psychological gap. We don’t have the sad life in the movie, but every girl deserves her own rainbow. I have gone through the alchemy furnace one after another, with waves of wind and rain coming one after another, and I don't believe that we can't consume a rainbow with our youth.

Encourage with the sisters!
