Wow! I love the end of the trailer when she looks up and prays...

"God where are you?"

Thanks for sharing this. It looks powerful. Sharon Leal is one of my favorite Black actresses and I'm happy to see her in this type of role.

Is that Pam Grier? She' baaaadddddddddd... Girl don't play.

I'll be glad when it's on DVD, that's when I'll be able to see it. I just cannot handle movie theaters.

It really does look like a great movie. Yes, that's Pam Grier and she looks like she is gonna have a huge part in this movie.

I try to go to the movies when Bishop TD Jakes or Tyler Perry come out with a movie because it helps them so that they could continue making more films and it gives black actors/actresses work that they wouldn't ordinarily get from mainstream hollywood. But, I totally understand. When it comes out on dvd, I will purchase it too!

TP is coming out with a movie this Friday. The TD Jakes movie is in select theaters, so it may not even come to my area.

They truly do need our support and they are among the few who invest in Black artists. I totally agree with you about the support in the cimemas.

"Mr. Deeds"...

I'll wait for the dvd for this one as well. However I'm cheering for those who attend the cinemas.

Hmmm looks interesting..suspenseful

I seen TD Jakes other movie "Woman thou are loosed" the one that came out several years ago. It was little too much for me. I am a whimp when it comes to movies, if a movie is too "deep" , it turns me off . lol. Like the ones Tyler Perry produced "Precious" and "Colored Girls". ohhh lawd its was waaayyy too much for me. . I felt like I had to get in prayer after those. Precious I couldnt watch the whole thing.


But I may check this out. Does it say it have profanity?

 

[Iwanthealthyhair67]

acutally I enjoyed the first one I was just a disappointed in the ending, it gave no hope imo...

Went on a "date" with the boys at the movies this weekend and I'd noticed that Mr. Deeds poster... had to ask myself when did Tyler Perry had a movie coming out? He spits movies out... lol

I was disappointed with the end as well. Kimberly Elyesse (sp?) is such an excellent actress. She was doing so well and then she had that 'flashback' ...

However, I blame her mother for staying with that man and 'allowing' that abuse to happen to her child.

Yeah.. he got saved at the end but...

The girl's life was destroyed by her mother's blindness and stupidity of staying with a man whom she knew was no good and was abusing her daughter.

He sure does 'spit' them out. I truly believe that God is honouring Tyler's 'giving', cause this man loves to 'tithe'. He makes it plain that he loves honouring the Church with his finances.

 

[Iwanthealthyhair67]

Maybe TD Jakes wanted to show that you can get saved but you still have to reap what you've sown ...

sadly the whole mother not believing the daughter is a common scenario...

Yes... I agree with your theory, it makes perfect sense. I just wish that the 'girl' (Kimberly's role) didn't have to pay 'again', I mean she suffered enough from her childhood.

Jakes' other movie, had another disappointed ending. The one with Morris Chestnut and 'Taraji' (sp?)...

I mean, why did that precious little boy have to die? He was a 'Good Kid' who harmed no one. 'Taraji' was full of so much attitude and mean spirited as well as her mother (Jennifer _______ ???? trying to remember the actress who played the mother in both of Jakes' movies.

I love Jakes' for making movies that speak of Christians. I will 'always' support him. I just can't handle how he's killing off the innocent folks.... Where's the mercy?

 

[LucieLoo12]

its just a movie sis. I can tell you one of those people that be in deep mediation after the movie ends , just thinking about the characters

But I did like the one with Morris Chestnut. It showed the reality of marriage and how Tariji (sp) mother raised affected her view on marriage.(Which is such a common problem today with marriages) But it was sad when the little boy died,I dont see how that had anything to do with the plot. It was just so random. But it was probably was a good, caused Morris to focus on the his wife.


But the Td Jakes movie was so depressing, woman thou art loosed. I like movies to end with a good ending .. if not I feel like I wasted 2 hrs

You know what movie I wished would have ended differently? Diary of a mad black woman. I kinda wanted her to go back to her husband

Yes, you have me on that one... I do 'think' about movie endings, especially if they don't end the way I think they should.

I agree that the little boy's death really had nothing to do with the plot; and Morris Chestnut didn't need that to go back to big head 'Taraji' (sp?).

Oh!!! It was "Jennifer Lewis who played the mother is both movies (Kimberly Elyess's mother in Thou art loosed' and Taraji's mother in the Morris Chestnut movie). I like Jennifer Lewis... she also played Whitney's Houston's mother in The Preacher's Wife... THAT movie I LOVED!

In "Diary of a Mad Black Woman", 'the character 'Charles' did not deserve to have Kimberly back as his wife. He was too trifflend (sp?) ... (" Side Note: I cannot spell today... ). How do you spell 'Trifle lend' ????

Anyhoo, 'Charles' in Diary messed up and those wrinkles could not be ironed out. Okay... so he was sorry and he got saved. Let him have Jesus and let Kimberly have both Jesus and the man who really loves her. I mean, the new man (Orlando) told her that all she had to do was just 'Wake Up' in the morning and that he'd take care of the rest..."

The character 'Charles' couldn't/wouldn't give her that. No... he had to go and drag her out the door, screaming and crying...kicking her out of HER house, for a light-skin -ded' woman. Uh uh.... No... Charles was a done deal. Let him have Jesus and be happy that Jesus didn't throw him out.

Ummmm, Alicialynn86 .... you were right about me and these movies.

"Orlando... Orlando... "Ask me again, Ask me again, I love you, Ask me again... "

Bye Charles...

:blush3: :blush3:

 

[LucieLoo12]

I guess Charles looked like he really repented, so I was like give him another shot

oh and its "trifling", I think.


Orlando was so "chessy" to me I guess.

 

[Nice & Wavy]

TD Jakes movies hit home for many people because most of his endings are just like many endings in real life....doesn't end well. I'm sure he deals with these issues throughout his ministry. I for one appreciate the fact that he doesn't sugar coat the movie by adding the happy ending in his movies all the time. The only happy ending we will truly have is when we finally be with the Lord for eternity.

Of course I know you ladies know that, but since we are talking about these movies (which I'm glad we are discussing them...I love discussing deep movies) I believe that we should recognize why he is ending his movies this way and not the way of the norm.

Orlando was 'baby swiss' cheese with butter sweet crackers.

I'm not going back to a man who 'hit' me. It's over. He can get saved like celery in aluminum foil, and still be sweet and crispy, but I'm not going back. I'm just not... I'll take the cheese over a slap in the face anyday.

You have a 'good heart' Alicia... I'm not there and don't want to be. Yet I support and admire the women who can discern the new man and give him another chance.

Sis, why do you think the little boy "Bryson" had to die in the Taraji / Chestnut movie? He was a good kid; it just doesn't make sense to me.

You know I 'listen' to you... so I'm open to 'wisdom and understanding'. I just never 'accepted' that part of the movie.

I'm also apologize for hijacking... I sincerely mean this.

You know you are not hijacking this thread...I'm happy you are asking me.

I don't know why he had to die in the movie, but good kids do die everyday and we don't know why its allowed, you know?

I think that Bishop Jakes brings the messages of hope, but of reality too. I think he helps us to realize that there are always things that will happen to us and yet, we must trust the Father in all of it.

I remembered when my sister passed away. She served the Lord, she was such a sweet, humble, passionate person. We prayed and prayed and believed that the Lord was going to deliver her from that thing....yet, He allowed her to go home. I was devastated. I questioned why. I was so hurt....she wasn't only my sister....she was my friend. In addition to all of that, my best friend died the same day my sister died and I didn't know what to do. I felt like I didn't pray hard enough, or that I did something that didn't please the Lord...I mean, all sorts of things ran through my head and my heart.

But GOD!

He brought me through it all and over the years I realized that He allowed it so that I could help others who have experienced this over the years as well.

Sometimes we don't know why....but, we will in the end.

Praise God... you're right, Sis. I guess I've gotten used to movies as being an 'escape' from certain things in life, if only for the 2 hours of the movies' span.

In a movie, we 'get' to write the script, in life, it's God or man's error due to disobedience.

This will bless you... While reading your post, I could clearly hear the song,


"Through it all... through it all, I've learned to trust in Jesus, I've learned to trust in God... Through it all, through it all, I learned to put my faith in God...

I'm so sorry about your sister and best friend...

Me too, sis...I use to feel the same way about why the movie had to end this way, etc., but I had to really ask myself 'why?'

Thank you....I miss her everyday. She was only 32. My bestfriend was older, but I miss her as well.

I think that's why I am so passionate about the people that come into my life, whether face to face or on the internet. I care so much about people...it's my life's work!

Love you, sis!

I knew you'd lost your mom and best friend... didn't know about your sister! Thank God for the Grace He's given to you, to be a living testimony to others.
