They tell me that I should not say things like “A BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMAN” I do not understand their reasons.. But we can look at a Movie featuring a “THE DIARY OF A MAD BLACK WOMAN”…..

What if we look at a Movie about a “PROSTITUTE”. Reality is , as far as we know, she is an actress, acting as a Prostitute. Some people hate her because she has acted in a Movie as a Prostitute. May be they envy her because she is where she is by bringing to the public another side of reality. We are talking about the Movie , “PRETTY WOMAN”.

It should not be about her. It should be about the content of the movie and whether it brings to us any lessons of LIFE and exposes some of the behaviors and attitudes even of people at higher levels in life. People who, supposedly, spent many years studying to obtain many academic Degrees and hopefully a higher position in life still do not emerge as cultured, sensitive , or really useful people in our society. Usually self centered. Taking and not giving. There should be a degree awarded for culture. The world would have been a better place.

Time was when Movies were entertaining and to some extent, educational. Some had a real content of Humor.. Most today are “Slap Dash” with one thing in mind, how many millions they can pull in at the end of the first week.

The price of spending an hour or two in a movie house is almost prohibitive. Is it healthy to go to those places ? The filth that is deposited and allowed to grow there is unacceptable. Of course some are clean. It seems that some people go there not to see the movie any way but just because it is cheaper than going to a “Short Time Motel”. If you feel compelled to go to see a movie, be there before the lights go down and look carefully at where you sit.

Were we not talking about a “MOVIE” ?

“PRETTY WOMAN”

We saw a man with the ability to manage a successful business. Yet not a Dictator.

Not greedy and with compassion for his partners and people around him. A man with needs like all men and women.

A man with RESPECT for all people.

A man with many talents, even the ability to play the Piano in a leisurely and relaxing way.

A woman caught up in one of the world’s greatest professions only paralleled to the Corporate Greed which we are forced to live under.

She had compassion , especially for her friend and she remained loyal to her friend to the end.

She was not exposed in the early days of her life to “ETIQUETTE”. Common table manners . Which fork to use . But she was prepared to learn with some degree of “humility”.

We saw “prejudice” and “snobbery” at so many levels , even in the Garment Store

We saw another man who was self centered, greedy, uncultured, and lacking respect for his boss. For him to be in that position in life he would have had to go through some higher education academically. Yet he was lacking in most of the essentials which are necessary for existing in a progressive and rounded society.

By the way, it was just a “MOVIE” and like many of the good ones , “THE SOUND.OF MUSIC”,  “THE DIARY OF A MAD BLACK WOMAN”,  “HELLO DOLLY”, It has many lessons to be taught.

More people should look at the content of what is presented on Television, Radio, and in Movies. There is a lot to be learned.

Then, may be when we go to restaurants we would not see all these bad behaviors displayed by children and adults, like putting their feet on the tables where food is served and eaten , or holding the forks like some kind of stabbing implement and viciously stabbing the piece of processed meat.

TAKE US BACK TO THE DAYS WHEN WE DID NOT HAVE TO MICROWAVE OUR OWN POPCORN AND BE CONFINED TO OUR HOMES.

TAKE US BACK TO THE DAYS WHEN WE COULD MAKE IT AN OCCASION AND ENJOY BEING OUT.

TAKE US BACK TO THE DAYS WHEN WE COULD SIT IN A RESTAURANT AND ENJOY A NICE DINNER. CHILDREN, BUT NOT CHILDREN RUNNING AROUND SCREAMING LIKE IF IT WERE A PLAYING FIELD.

IT WOULD ALSO BE GOOD IF THE ADULTS COULD CONTROL THE CHILDREN SO THAT THEY DO NOT CLIMB ON THEIR CHAIRS TO INVESTIGATE WHAT YOU ARE EATING. OF COURSE THEY CANNOT DO THAT WITHOUT SCREAMING IN YOUR EARS.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE STOPPED AT THE “FAST FOOD DRIVE-THRU”, EAT WHILE DRIVING AND TEXTING AND PROCEED TO SEE A “MOVIE”
