A Feminine Movie

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2006)

This is a most complex movie. It winds and dines it way into your mind first, then into your heart.
What I saw while you were sleeping was a movie that was far ahead of its time. "21 Grams" is a movie of the same genre. The movie does not movie in the predictable pattern of the male energy movies. You know: beginning CLIMAX! end. This movie you will not be looking at and finding any "bad guy or girl". It was more like the theatre in the movie - with the fourth wall still in tact. Like mini vingettes I saw life splattered on the big screen (cause they is big now ya'll and loud) - or rather my TV screen) and it was disturbing as it was beautiful. In other words the movie focused on relationships and their forever bumpy ride inside of our very being. It is my firm persuasion that what I saw was a female movie - a movie of relationships.
It was the small microscopic view into people's lives - that fanacinated me. I never saw such raw truth run from story line - to story line. The most intriguing to me was the true statements the Black men made -- which were so true. Many times I have often wondered about why Blacks speak about themselves in such horrible ways - the brainwashing tactics of the old -- take so long to play out. The not so true - but it is OK to say them - slogans and things that came out of that man's mouth was - frightening to say the least -- young black people - listen and learn.
Then the racial tension and the misconceptions of others -- when they do not understand the language. The mistaken hostilities that a sole woman holds in her small body - I starred in wonder at how her anger keeps her so slim and grim. A black man made to witness a most shocking thing and being unable to do anything about it and yet -- behold -- their lives careen again and who is it now - that is sorry?
There are no conincidences in this world. All things run together like a smooth running water. Crash we do into each other all the time and when we are aware of the crashing -- how many of us seek another street to walk down and change the energy? I wonder how many? See this movie -- then -- go walk down another path -- quickly -- we need more new threads in the tapesty of this life we each are a part of.
