The Theology of Madea's Family Reunion
Y'all I finally saw a movie in 2006. I don't do movies. I do not go to movie theaters and I don't rent movies or dvd's very often. But I am always intrerested in new gadgets so I had to try the redbox.
And after looking at the selection of available movies I decided to find out why every body is in love with a tall man who has made millions dressing in drag.
After watching this motion picture, I still don't get it.
I don't get why large black women are always protrayed as LOUD
I don't know why large and loud black women are being protrayed by men.
I don't understand why in Tyler Perry movies the bad guys are dark and the knights in shining armour are light
I don't understand how a mother could so callously offer her child to grown man for sex and the justify the behavior.
I don't get why old black men are portrayed as child molesters.
I don't get what is funny about flatuence.
I don't get why black folk would want a wedding where little children hang from the ceiling.
I don't get why I find it fascinating to see Cicely Tyson turn into Miss Jane Pittman right before my eyes.
I don't get the fuss about Maya Angelou. Her stuff makes good recitations on Sunday mornings but I never have to reflect on her verse...its so obivous that I am mad I didn't write it.
I did not get why Taylor S. said I need to embrace my truth...what's truth and what is my truth will it dissolve without my attention?

I hate watching movies that leave me asking "why?" instead of leaving me satiated.
I haven't seen yo boy Tyler's movies. I have heard mixed reviews. I don't think its my cup.
you wrong for saying that about Cicely. Smack yo hand harold.
I'll admit that I'm a Madea fan. I mean, I understand the gospel play, so I don't have the expectations that a lot of folks have when they see the plays. I'm not extremely impressed, but I do laugh. I liked family reunion and Diary of a Mad Black Woman. I had a conversation with my sis about how the bad guys are dark skinned brothas. I wonder if the casting was entirely Tyler's decision because it's not that way in his plays.
With all that said, I liked family reunion because some of the characters remind me of my family. As a matter of fact, I had a Madea. When I'm reminded of my family, I smile...I laugh because even with the drama, I love 'em.
Wow, surprised. I had low expectations, but laughed all the way through. I was actually kinda impressed.
