Writing Prompt:4 What Is You All-Time Favorite Movie and Why? Write an Essay Persuading Readers to Watch This Film.

My all time favorite movie is For Colored Girls. This is one of those movies where you have to just take a look at yourself in the mirror and say “What if that was me?” This movie makes you really think and it brings a certain passion in your heart. A certain passion that’ll make you want to do better with yourself. It even may change your opinions and outlooks on certain things in life. Like they say you can’t judge a book by its cover, and you won’t know how it feels to be someone until you’ve walked in their shoes. This movie brings out the harsh reality in a rhythm of poetry that has an intense vibe that pulls you in deeper to the movie. Even though this movie just came out it is my favorite movie.
     For Colored Girls, which was written by the amazing play-writer, actor, and producer Tyler Perry, was originally a poetry book written by Ntozake Shange. Tyler Perry decided to bring the book to life, so he could give colored women all over the world insight about what may be happening around you and you wouldn’t even know. In the movie, there are nine women going through a struggle and through events in the movie they all come together as one. These women are going through it all, from being abused, raped, pregnant, prostituting themselves, getting aids, or just tired of being heartbroken and alone. These women are going through things that you wouldn’t even believe to the point where they forget who they are inside. Their teaching themselves and others to love themselves first before they can let anyone else love them anymore.
     For Colored Girls explains to women through the movie that being colored is one things that you should learn to love, so what if your lips are bigger than others, or your hips are wider than the average girl, or your thighs are just a little bit on the thick side. That’s what makes you beautiful and you should love yourself for it, that’s what makes you, you. If you’re a person that’s into poetry this movie would be great for you. The movie is filled of intense and truthful poetry, that’ll really make you think twice about yourself, the way you think, and others that are involved in your life. The poetry is really great in this movie.
     My all-time favorite movie is For Colored Girls. It brings out the harsh realities that goes on in an everyday world of many women of color all over the world. It lets you know that if your proud in the skin you’re in, you shouldn’t have to worry about what other people think about you. The only opinion that really matters is yours and if you feel beautiful then you are beautiful because you think your beautiful. The poetry that is expressed in  this movie gives you an extra push to an intense vibe that brings you closer into being interested into the movie.
