Why Did I Get Married Too?
I went to see Why Did I Get Married Too yesterday. I had a pleasant experience. It was a good movie, but with every Tyler Perry film there are many critics laying in wait to pounce on it before the credits can finish rolling. The comments people make about Tyler Perry movies are amazing to me. They often say, he should have developed this portion more, or I would have done it this way. In actuality, the majority of the people who make such absurd comments would not have a clue how to begin creating a story line. Instead of bashing the next person, society must find a way to uplift and encourage the efforts of our brethren. The movie was good to me and with all movies and things it is a matter of opinion. Tyler Perry always delivers a central message with everything he does. Whether it is a play, sitcom, or movie. His message screams loud and clear in this latest production. Instead of finding what is wrong in the movie and with the movie, I believe everyone should listen to the message and apply it to our lives. I applaud him for his most recent accomplishments and wish him the very best.

Agreed Ms. Dinah, it is very important to encourage and uplift where possible because it takes a lot of courage for people to put their stuff out there and the people typically critiquing are often scared to put their own work out there because they are fearful of the potential critiques. We definitely need to encourage and support each other more often.
ReplyDeleteHOWEVER, I must say that one of the good things about art and creativity is that it gives permission to others to be creative i.e. creativity inspires creativity which I think is precisely why it is put on display (or at least one of the reasons). It gets the conversation started right and part of that conversation should be about the author's key take away or intended message and then the other is what "I would do differently." :) Of course that is superficial because it's not my work but everyone has their own taste and if we didn't than what a boring place this would be.
All that to say, I don't think I mind hearing what people like and disliked about a particular work of art because sometimes it gives me a different perspective that I may not have considered and in doing so maybe I'll get more out of the piece of work than I had originally.
Soooo with that being said, I'd like to offer my opinion about the movie, LOL. ;) I thought it was great and one of his better outings. I think I'm good on seeing him dress up like a woman (just not working for me) :) In this one he brought in some drama and suspense and of course had a message despite out elementary the reveal. It was good stuff and it was defintiely worth seeing even if the ending was a little suspect. :) Couldn't resist that last part. :) And again, that's just my two cents...I'm off to start on my script. Peace
