“You are just a funny woman”, my husband said as he laughed at me. You could see so much amusement in his eyes. He was really amused.
It’s not like I actually said something funny, I only stated a fact.
“I think Tyler Perry tried to please us with a happy ending in his new movie but it’s still just another sad story”…that’s what I said.
I love Tyler Perry, I think he is a very talented and ambitious man. He has good looks too and I love good eye candy.
I just don’t feel particularly excited when I watch some of his movies. The endings usually leave me quite low. So when his new movie ‘Divorce in the Black’ was recommended by a colleague, I didn’t hesitate to give it a try. The motivation was what he said as he recommended it, he said “You will love it, it ended well for the woman”.
I don’t want to spoil it for anyone, but “ended well” for him still feels sad to me.
It actually did end a tad better than the others though.
At the end of the movie, I realized I had zoomed in on Rona and Jim. Somehow, the couple was best friends with the main couple of the movie. What drew me to them was the way they addressed the issue(s) that came up in their marriage.
It’s two days since I saw the movie and I woke up with thoughts of Rona and Jim… I think Tyler can write a good and happy story about this couple based on the conflict they had in the movie ‘Divorce in the Black’… after all, we never really saw how or if it was properly resolved.
