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!

    [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?
