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 childhood; her appearance is infinite, but her husband is actually a GAY etc.). The film is inspired by Ntozake Shange's dance poems. The long monologues and interspersed Ntozake's poems are the highlights. It is probably also because of the strong literary taste of the monologue, the translation is not good, and the original color is lost. Have the subtitles been seen for a long time? The poetry is indeed the most difficult to translate, and it can only be understood.

The English name of the film is For Colored Girls, which is ironic and sweet.
Because in the white world, even now, black people will always be "colored" races to them, inferior to people; and these black-skinned women live so strong, even if they endure pain that you don't know, They lived so hard and so "colored", fresh and beautiful.

Rainbow, I used to think there were only seven colors, but the director deliberately arranged eight women to wear clothes of eight different colors. These eight different colors represent a rainbow, and each of them is a rainbow!
color girls have no right to sorrow. It's another pun. Girls with colored skin need not be sad; girls with rainbow need not be sad.

Being alive and being a woman is all I got, but being colored is a metaphysical dilemma I haven't conquered yet," claims Tangie

    Collective complaints by black women. When no man appeared, everyone was glamorous and free-spirited. A man has appeared in your life. Your bad luck has begun. If you raise him, he will pull your two children out of the window on the fifth floor to force you to marry him. And if you don't wear a condom, if you get pregnant and give birth, he can't even find a shadow. Domestic violence, taking money from you, stealing your belongings and running away are all minor injuries. What's more, you allow him to live an upper-class life, he has sex with a man, and he changes hands and gives you an HIV. It also shows that there is only sex between me and a man, and there is no love at all. I am not gay, I love you. . Man, get away!

For Colored Girls quotes

  • Juanita: Frank, open the door! I know you're in there! You got a woman in there? Fine, I am sick of your mess! Without any assistance or guidance from you, I have loved you assiduously for 8 months, 2 weeks, and a day. I been stood up 4 times, left 7 packages on your doorstep, 40 poems, 2 plants, 3 handmade notecards, and I had to leave town to send them. You call at 3 am in the morning on weekdays... charming, charming! But you have been of NO assistance! I want you to know what this has been an experiment... to see how selfish I could be. To see if I could really carry on to snare a possible lover. To see if I was capable of debasing myself for the love of another. To see if I could stand not being wanted when I want to be wanted and I can not, so without any further guidance or assistance from you, I am ending this affair!

  • Juanita: Now, how many times have you heard your man say it don't feel the same? My love is too beautiful to have it thrown back on my face.

    Yasmine: I like that.

    Juanita: Try one.

    Yasmine: What?

    Juanita: Well, I do it all the time in my class. You just say, "My love is too ____," and you just fill in the blank.

    Gilda: My love is too sanctified to have it thrown back on my face.

    Kelly: My love is too magic to have it thrown back on my face.

    Tangie: My love is too "Saturday Night" to have it thrown back on my face.

    Jo: My love is too complicated to have it thrown back on my face.

    Yasmine: My love is too music to have it thrown back on my face.

    Juanita: Yes, and you remember that when a man tries to walk off with all your stuff!
