Über diesen Film

In 1974, Ntozake Shange's choreopoem "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf" made its stage debut, combining poetry, dance and music, and most significantly, placing the black female experience center stage. In lyrical, honest, angry, funny and tender language, Shange's "colored girls" evoked the feelings woven into the fabric of black female life in America. Within two years, the play became a Broadway sensation, won an Obie and Tony Award, and would eventually be produced in regional theaters throughout the country. Now, thirty six years later, filmmaker Tyler Perry adapts this landmark work for the big screen, integrating the vivid language of Shange's poems into a contemporary narrative that explores what it means to be a woman of color - and a woman of any color - in this world. FOR COLORED GIRLS weaves together the stories of nine different women -- Joanna, Tangie, Crystal, Gilda, Kelly, Juanita, Yasmine, Nyla and Alice -- as they move into and out of one another's existences; some are well known to one another, others are as yet strangers. Crises, heartbreaks and crimes will ultimately bring these nine women fully into the same orbit where they will find commonality and understanding. Each will speak her truth as never before. And each will know that she is complete as a human being, glorious and divine in all her colors. 2010 Very Perry Films. All Rights Reserved.

Bewertungen und Rezensionen

This is a deep movie, whose focus is on different women, whose lives are distinct yet through their pain and heartache, end up finding each other. Focuses on distressing real life relatable issues such as rape, death of children, abortion, infertility, infidelity, domestic violence and molestation.

When I saw who the director was I dismissed the movie in m mind I just couldn't see how he would do it justice. but I watched anyway and it a brilliant. You won't walk away thinking life is great but you will walk away being touched by the characters. Yep men might not understand or even been interested but its brilliant.

This film is one of the best films I have seen. Its poetic...thought provoking ...artistic....clever... And above all incredible acting.
