Why did I get married is a drama/comedy type film that was directed and written by Tyler Perry. Some critics believe this movie did not fulfil the goal it was trying to reach. One critics believe the movie deserve much higher rating then it received. “Like other reviewers of this movie, I can't believe the low ratings that some people gave it” (Akeyla n.pg). Tyler Perry is known for his stage plays rather than his movies. One say Perry use the same message in most of his hit films such as Diary of a Mad Black Woman and Why Did I Get Married? etc. “In films such as Why Did I Get Married? and Diary of a Mad Black Woman, his type of storytelling marries the sentimental gloop of Garry Marshall (Pretty Woman, Valentine's Day) to the soap operatics of Aaron "Dynasty" Spelling, and always with the same message – that a black woman struggling through adversity will triumph in the end” (Elan n.pg).

right song to go with every scene in Why Did I Get Married. The songs he chose made you feel the emotions the actor was feeling at that point in the film. Perry chose some hit tracks from some astonishing artist such as Keisha Cole, Kelly Price, Amel Larrieux, Laura Izibor and many more. Some believe he could’ve chose some better Rhythm & Blues songs that would make you connect with the characters even more. While others think “Tyler Perry's name fills that bill there's a good chance the album will be sound in concept and rich in prime "grown folks" R&B” (Jeffries n.pg). The music he chose not only fits perfectly with the movie, but it also attracts different generations. The Keisha Cole and Kelly Price soundtracks were number one hits out in 2007, and Tyler knew that the young and older generation who were fans of those two artist. The actors of this movie ranged from himself playing as (terry), Janet Jackson (Patricia), Jill Scott (Shelia), Michael Jai White (Marcus) and many more. Many were upset with Perry’s choice to have a cast crew of only African Americans, but that did not stop hundreds of thousands from going experience his wonderful movie. Tyler Perry once mentioned that he wanted to work with Janet Jackson for so long, that he was willing to let her play in multiple of his movies. “Janet Jackson was originally sought for a role in Madea's Family Reunion (2006) but proved unavailable. Tyler Perry was very keen to work with her so asked her to be in this film” (Catsoulis n.pg). Tyler finally got a chance to work with Ms. Jackson and he asked her to play a very emotional role in his 2007 Why Did I Get Married movie. She took up a role that very emotional and psychological. Her character was a married mom of a son who has lost his life in a car accident at a young age, she often did not want to speak upon the situation because it brought back terrible emotions that she did not want to witness again. Janet mentioned, after they were finished filming the emotional scenes of the movie Tyler would call her almost every two hours or so to check on her and make sure she was ok. There were many positive reviews about this film and also many negative reviews about this film. Rafe Telsch says, “I have to admit a bit of disappointment in Why Did I Get Married?. Perry has proven himself to be a great storyteller, but here bland stereotyped characterizations and invasive cinematography mar what could have been an interesting, albeit uninspired idea”, but another critic named Richard Jones mentioned, “Perry, so adept at giving fans of his touring plays an evening that spans the entertainment gamut, once again delivers something for everyone” (Telsch 65). One believe that many of Perry’s film all have the same plot, a African American women who get mistreated in some type of way over comes it by finding a new man who truly cares about them. Lastly, critics underline the reuse of Tyler’s styles of movie, a women overcoming an emotional and inadequate relationship.
Some says that his movies are somewhat different, but in each one of his films there is relationship situation between a male and female. When it comes to Tyler Perry you fall into 1 of 2 categories: you love him or you hate him. He also released a movie called Single Mom’s Club. Some say they did not attempt to go see this movie of his because everything is the same with the way he makes movies. “I just wish this guy had a few more creative bones in his body in order to compose different story lines” (Yoba n.pg). His four very best films, Daddy's Little Girls, I Can Do Bad All By Myself, Why Did I Get Married?, and The Family That Preys, all have typical Tyler Perry problems but manage to overcome them to offer moments of real value. The moral Tyler Perry wants to sell to his mostly female audience is very specific and straight forward. He lets his fans know that every marriage is different and have their own sort of
problems. In conclusion, Tyler Perry’s films are wonderful and emotional but we need to see something different for a chance from him. His films has sold-out worldwide because he knows how to express his feelings through films that women around the world can relate. The actors he choose to use in his films are popular famous women and men who seem attractive to characters in his movie that treats them better than their husband or wife does. They realize their worth and understands that they do not need to be treated so wrongfully and leave their spouse to be with someone who will treat the like they should be treated. Also, the sound track that Tyler uses are songs that are hit songs at the time he makes his films. He chooses those to connect with the audients in such a way and he also wants to connect with different generations at one time. Why Should I Get Married overall succeeded in the film business and Tyler Perry has done it again.

Perry would be raised by his mother who would battle with an addiction with alcohol his entire childhood. Before Perry could reach the age of adulthood his mother would die leaving him in the hands of a Catholic Orphanage. Where Perry was constantly abused both physical and emotional for wetting his bed, while would become a lifelong problem. In his teens Perry would go to live with his itinerant father.

He grew up in a different environment with a broken family with no apparent dreams. As a young boy his parents separated and he was forced to go with his mother. He later ran away to be with his father who turned him down and ended up being abandoned by his family completely. He then came to stay at a catholic orphanage, where he was abused by nuns and caregivers. His father finally decided to take him into his care and together they got away and traveled, ending his education before passing the third grade which bothered him as he became older. Perry joined the marines and army, then came back to relocate his father. Him and his father had a breakthrough over starvation, leaving Perry with no one else to turn to and therefore getting involved in committing crimes. Once he got caught and jailed, his mother had died and his brother and sister had both committed suicide. By all his experiences we can say Perry definitely lived a different life and his family portrayal was very different from the Clutters. After so much abandonment and abuse, we can understand why he almost feels nothing and how growing up has affected him. The American Dream for Perry might not have been a “perfect family” but may have been to find something with order, and control. The dream Perry’s family would be focused on is reaching a decent life as their past has been

...m nervousness), the movie version has us thinking he's a schlubby, clumsy guy, that spills his beer. Entire sequences of exposition are cut from all parts of the story that provide for a more visceral and textured experience. A story of this length stands on it's density, and while it may irk the fan boys like me, these nuances are minor. They both stand on the same principles in the end. As for my evaluation of their romance; I tended to agree with the narrator's sentiment. “I am in love with a beautiful sex crazed slut, so why can't you just be happy for me.” There are some hard truths, moments of almost compulsory self evaluation, and some insane scenes I didn't mention in case you decide to watch the film. Romance has many touching moments, and a strange sense of humanity emerges in the end, but we all know that's not why anyone seeks out the realm of Palahniuk.
Judd Apatow (‘The 40-Year-Old Virgin’, ‘Knocked Up’) is known for his contained and loveable comedies, but this marks the first time he’s directed a film that he didn’t write or co-write himself. He co-wrote ‘The 40-Year-Old Virgin’ with his leading man Steve Carell, but he’s never not taken part in the screenplay of one of his films, at least not until this film. I personally walked into this film with a lot of hesitation, I’m not well-versed in Amy Schumer’s particular brand of humor thus I’m not sure how much I can trust her, but the trailers worked for me and Judd Apatow has never made a bad film in my eyes, and this is definitely not a slipup.
In society today, divorce is common with approximately 60% of marriages not lasting. Prior to their parents splitting up, children struggle with how to thrive in an environment where their parents are constantly arguing. This is the backdrop for my screenplay. One of the protagonists, Kristi, is an artist who goes running for several hours every night, returning after midnight when she is certain that her parents are asleep. She is a thoughtful and taciturn character who thinks that she is to blame for the problems that her parents are experiencing. As time progresses, Kristi becomes increasingly hopeless about her life and her paintings reflect her emotions because Kristi uses increasing amounts of dark colors.
We have more or less gender stereotype and create our own set of standards how men and women are supposed to behave. The music video delivers a weird impression that something is wrong with the story because the characters in the video are acting opposite from society’s expectations of gender stereotype. The video portrays a couple’s normal daily life, which may have been seen everywhere, and it’s nothing special except that the perspectives of males and females are opposite from what we would expect. The main cast includes Beyoncé as a wife who is a police officer and Eddie Goines as her supportive husband who works at an office. In the video, the storyline is slightly twisted because Beyoncé
So what do Tyler and I have in common besides similar views on relationships? Quite a bit, actually. Tyler was raised by his mother. His father abandoned them early in his life and only had sporadic contact with his son. I, too, was raised by my mother. She divorced my father early in my life, and he made little effort to further his involvement in my life from that point forward. " If you're male . . . your father is your model for God. And if you never know your father, if your father bails out or dies or is never at home, what do you believe about God?" Also from Fight Club. As you can see, I really connected with this novel.
Persuasive, confident, intelligent, the ability to make quick critical decisions, these are all attributes everyone looks for in a leader and what can be seen in Tyler Durden is no different. When it comes to the character of Tyler Durden, there are many facets of his personality. Like a diamond Tyler is alluring, brilliant, he has luster, and character. The character of Tyler Durden truly defines the story of Chuck Palahniuk’s, Fight Club. All throughout Fight Club, every single character Tyler comes into contact with idolizes him. Why is he so alluring? What makes Tyler so attractive? His outlook on life, possibly. Tyler’s ultimate goal is to achieve self-actualization, where he is fully aware of who he is, and what purpose he serves in life. This draws on the significance that almost everyone wants to be self-actualizing, to realize one’s true potential, the pinnacle of what someone is meant to be.
Of course, the main storyline is the same. It’s the story of a man who is bored with life and has a severe case of insomnia. The he meets Tyler. Tyler changes the Narrator life. Tyler makes the Narrator see how materialistic the world really is. They start an underground Fight Club in which men can take out their aggression. The To get the full experience and really appreciate the whole story, you need to see it from both points.
The two live together and form a quick bond. They start a “fight club” where men can escape the real world. It is a very secretive club “The first rule of fight club is we do not talk about fight club”. As the movie goes on, the club becomes more of a cult and the tasks that they have to complete become more difficult and more dangerous. Soon we learn that our noname character has an alter-ego and it is…Tyler Durden. Tyler Durden is everything he wants to be. Because he lives a so called respectable life he lets himself go through his alter-ego. All the mayhem that happens is all really because of him. Our “average Joe” is the cause of all the “fight clubs” across the nation.
First off, the narrator creates his alter ego Tyler Durden, because he realizes what’s amiss with post modern man. According to Andrew Hock Soon Ng, Tyler Durden was conceived to amend what society has committed to men. The narrator witnesses emasculated men when he goes to the testicular cancer support group. The support groups allows for the narrator to have a very emasculate way of releasing his emotions. Fight Club’s narrator also is the victim to the emasculating effect that the support group has on all the men in the group. He hugs and cries it out, and the narrator exhibits emotions of happiness and liberation, “Walking home from the support group, I felt more alive than I’d ever felt.” (22 Fight Club) The positive/ unmanly effect the support groups had on the narrator exposed how comfortable he was with his emasculation. Later on in the book he sub-consciously creates Tyler to not only fix what’s around him, but als...
