Agent_009 Knowflake Posts: 332 From: LA & Vancity Registered: May 2009	posted November 02, 2010 03:04 AM I thought I'd share, since it seems so many people on LL have suffered abuse & mom issues... Tonight I attended the premier screening of Dir. Tyler Perry's latest film, "For Colored Girls." This turned out to be a very intense Plutonian film. Extremely Mars-Pluto or VENUS-PLUTO dynamics in each character's relationships. Going into it, I roughly knew a major focus of this film was on mother/daughter issues. So I decided to take my mom as my date because I was hoping she would get something out of it. The film was amazing, but most of all suuuper intense. It covered a lot more issues than I expected...many issues resonated deeply with my mom, as she's experienced them before. She was holding back choking up & even had trouble breathing. In a nutshell without giving any story away, the film closely examines the relationship dynamics of 8 women. All, whom have given up their own power to others. Showing how human nature can be so resistant against change for fear of being, "alone." Until they're ground to the core & forced to face with the extremities of life & death...Which by then is too late for some. How people in general refuse to take, "responsibility," for their own lives. How it often takes great tragedy before it finally "clicks,"...initiating a huge plutonian transformation. This film, is actually a theater play written by Ntozake Shange in 1975. For those of you who didnt know, it's an important & significant piece amongst the African American community. Initially Oprah had asked Tyler Perry not to attempt this as a feature film. She felt it was too important & intense to be messed with and feared the film would soil the name of the play. Personally I think it turned out quite spectacular. Tyler Perry did a good job directing...the acting was just intense. You could feel Janet Jackson's pain, channeled through her own life experiences. I think this film will probably be an Oscar runner for 2011. I hope everyone of you, who's ever been in a bad plutonian relationship will give this a chance. Box office opening Nov. 5th....GO WATCH!! IP: Logged

meta_4 Knowflake Posts: 1101 From: Registered: Apr 2009	posted November 03, 2010 05:42 AM I doubt it will be coming to theaters in the UK. They're so behind here. They're just now playing Despicable Me (which came out in the summer in the US). But it sounds intense. I will definitely have to keep it in mind when I return to America. Would you compare it to Precious, Agent? In terms of subject matter? IP: Logged

She's the only person who I give my Pluto power away to. IP: Logged

Diablo, I think you'll enjoy this film & relate if you've ever had any plutonian synastry, regardless of natals. Meta, Funny you bring up, "Precious." I was telling my friend few days ago it's like Precious x5, few situations stuffed into 1. So your studying film in UK?? how long is your program?? IP: Logged
meta_4 Knowflake Posts: 1101 From: Registered: Apr 2009	posted November 05, 2010 10:49 AM Agent, I'm studying here for the entire year. Very exciting though. I want to make and work on British films when I establish myself. But there are no jobs (as I'm sure you know) for a young rookie in the UK. Especially not for an American college kid. I'm planning on doing an internship program through my University. They have it set up so that some studios in LA will take on an intern for 3 months. Unpaid, of course, but it's a great opportunity to get work experience, make connections and get my foot "in the door," as they say. Or try to do that at least. IP: Logged
