The comedy/Drama love story Diary of A Mad Black Women written and directed by Tyler
Perry was his very first motion picture that came out February 2005 that had appeared to be
some sort of a love triangle, a women was having an affair and wanted to leave her husband for
the other guy cliché of that nature. Through further insight the movie is in fact about a loyal wife
named Helen (Kimberly ELISE) who thought everything in her life was going in the right
direction until her husband Charles (Steve Harris) broke down the news on their 18th anniversary
he was leaving her for another women. Her husband Charles then has a moving truck full of her
belongings ready to take her anywhere she wants to go, where she then meets her true

love of her life. But first she starts her life over, seeking the help of her grandmother Madea (Tyler Perry). I feel as if the creator of the movie added a good significant amount examples and stayed on topic, if you’re the type of audience ready to fall out your seat laughing this is the movie to watch, and if you want to be in aww during more dramatic scenes this is still the movie to watch, Tyler Perry’s portrayed his comical side through his fictional characters like Madea and Joe who both was played as Tyler Perry.
I admire his creativity with using these characters, these
characters add life and color to the movie so there is hardly dull moment in this film.
When I think of mad women, I’m looking for violence, crazy or outrageous actions, or even
hallucinations. Behavior like so that would have you in a mental hospital, but instead this mad
black women was just angry about what her husband of 18 years had put her through. Her
husband kicked her out, left her for another women and basically left her in a world to fend for
herself on their anniversary, that’s enough to make a women go mad but she was hardly mad at
all she was angry with her husband and wanted him to feel the pain she felt when he had left her.
Throughout the movie her husband gets caught up with a thug who then shoots Charles in his
back leaving him paralyzed and hospital bound. Then Charles would come crashing down and

he loses everything his girlfriend, money and his job. The only one left to help pick up the pieces was Helen. Despite what she had been through she runs to Charles aid and tries to rehabilitate him back to health. Of course during the healing process she had plotted her revenge, she beat him up, starved him for a couple of days and went a while without bathing him, which is where the idea “mad” had come from.
To me that isn’t a good portrayal of “mad” but a great example
of an angry women. If the title of the movie was diary of a angry black women then the movie
would be clear on emotions expressed in this film, other than the title of the movie not really
fitting into the initial story the Writer/Producer in my opinion delivered its objective to make his
audience laugh and leave his audience in aww.
Tyler Perry had a twist to love triangle portrayed in his movie, like I said earlier the story
appeared to be about a man leaving his wife for another women and that was what the story
would be about, but instead it’s about Helen having feelings for two men in her life. The man
who crushed her world and the man who made his world all about her. After Charles had got
shot she breaks up with her current boyfriend Orlando (Shemar Moore) telling him her and
Charles are getting back together to help her husband because at this point they are still legally
married, granted she didn’t want to be with her ex, but she didn’t want to hurt Orlando. So this
is the shocking twist I love because it’s not a cliché. Helen leaves Orlando to get revenge on her husband and after she accomplished her goal in making her ex realize he made the biggest mistake of her life after nursing him back to health and after his money hungry girlfriend left him because he was broke, she continues her life with Orlando to live happily ever after. Diary of A Mad Black Women is a movie I will look at over and over again, a lot of people can relate to these everyday love issues and the trials and tribulations you encounter in life. Like moving in with someone else after being kicked out and finding a job, waiting on transportation, going through a divorce, adultery being committed and etc. this is a great family movie that expresses love, compassion, passion, anger, support and a great movie to get a laugh. Tyler Perry Is one of my favorite Writers I love all his work from Family Reunion, Meet The Browns and I Can do Bad all by Myself. Thus far his audience has a high expectations and look forward to seeing Madea in his films and thus far Tyler Perry has delivered and satisfied his audience expectations.

When Zora Hurston wrote this novel, she wanted to explain how a young women search for her own identity. This young woman would go through three relationships that took her to the end of the journey of a secure sense of independence. She wanted to find her own voice while in a relationship, but she also witnessed hate, pain, and love through the journey. When Logan Killicks came she witnessed the hate because he never connected physically or emotionally to her. Jody Starks, to what she assumed, as the ticket to freedom. What she did not know was the relationship came with control and pain. When she finally meets Tea Cake she was in love, but had to choose life over love in the end.
Madness, madness, madness. It is but a word, yet those who possess it are capable of doing the most amazing or terrible of things. According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, madness is defined as “a state of severe mental illness.” Perry Edward Smith is the best individual to depict this characteristic. Throughout Truman Capote's novel “In Cold Blood” the main character, Perry Smith, as Dr. Jones says “. shows definite signs of severe mental illness” (Capote 296).
The Author of this book (On our own terms: race, class, and gender in the lives of African American Women) Leith Mullings seeks to explore the modern and historical lives of African American women on the issues of race, class and gender. Mullings does this in a very analytical way using a collection of essays written and collected over a twenty five year period. The author’s systematic format best explains her point of view. The book explores issues such as family, work and health comparing and contrasting between white and black women as well as between men and women of both races.
Not only does the film Love and Basketball demonstrate lot of feminist elements, but it has a lot of black feminist elements. Written and directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, a black woman, and starring many other black women, Love & Basketball is not just a warm coming-of-age story, but also a soothing relief for gender relations among black men and women. This movie redefines and defies the societal norms placed on women, while also addressing many stigmas that are placed on males and their “maleness”.

This movie is a wonderful production starting from 1960 and ending in 1969 covering all the different things that occurred during this unbelievable decade. The movie takes place in many different areas starring two main families; a very suburban, white family who were excepting of blacks, and a very positive black family trying to push black rights in Mississippi. The movie portrayed many historical events while also including the families and how the two were intertwined. These families were very different, yet so much alike, they both portrayed what to me the whole ‘message’ of the movie was. Although everyone was so different they all faced such drastic decisions and issues that affected everyone in so many different ways. It wasn’t like one person’s pain was easier to handle than another is that’s like saying Vietnam was harder on those men than on the men that stood for black rights or vice versa, everyone faced these equally hard issues. So it seemed everyone was very emotionally involved. In fact our whole country was very involved in president elections and campaigns against the war, it seemed everyone really cared.

Making matters worse, one of the arresting officers is Chase Jennings: the boy next door who Ember used to be in love with, but now appears to be a hardened soldier. When her mother was taken, Ember was sent to a reformatory in West Virginia, where girls like her were sent for rehabilitation. While there, she was placed in a room with the student assistant, Rebecca. When she caught her roommate in a forbidden relationship with one of the guards named Sean Banks, she blackmailed them into helping her escape. However, the plan backfired, and everyone was caught. As Ember awaited what was certain to be a severe punishment, Chase arrived with an order to take her to Chicago to testify at her mother’s trial. After they left, she learned that the order was fake and Chase had gone AWOL to help her and her mother reach a safe house in South Carolina. As they traveled toward the carrier who would help them reach the safe house, Ember learns more about what Chase has endured in the past year. Her anger toward him gradually begins to resolve throughout the journey to the carrier. Their plan had to change when they found the man that was supposed to transport them had been shot by the MM. Before he died he told Chase and Ember of a carrier in
With her witty commentary and hysterical offensive dialogue, the tall, outspoken, and gargantuan elderly woman proves countless time to be the thrill of the movie. For example, there was a point where Madea invades Charles house to help Helen seek vengeance. When they enter, Madea comically calls Charles’ mistress a “ho” and destroys everything with a chainsaw. Along with the interestingly-developed plot, “Diary of a Mad Black Woman” was able to make the audience sympathize to the pain and wrath of devoting one’s self to someone and in return getting nothing out of
