The women were crazy and tried to steal Abner. Then, she hooks up with these white Christian women who want to save the souls of black women. By the time Queen had met Abner's father, she was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. She thought it would stop him to tell him she was black. While in the city passing as white, a soldier tried to have sex with her. One time, Queen was so hungry that when somebody threw some stew on the ground, she ran to the ground and ate it. The blacks wouldn't help her because she looked white and the whites wouldn't help her because she was white trash. Many times she would walk on the road in tattered clothes and shoes hungry. Well, the answer is this: all of Queen's suffering was removed from the DVD.īasically, when Queen left the Jackson plantation, she had to survive anyway she could. I wondered how the DVD could only be 283 minutes. Remember, history only repeats itself, but in a different version."Before I watched the 2nd part of the DVD, I read Queen's autobiography and merged that with what I remember from seeing it in childhood. This is a movie for everyone to enjoy and even those who never experienced slavery inform your children that this is what happened to slaves because others had the power to control and degrade others just because they could. This movie has sad and happy times, but the characters in this movie played their role and we have to say this is reality back in slavery time and has manifest into other issues with the same pattern. Then the saga continues with meeting someone who understand you and try to be there for you and your children and until then you realize this is where you belonged in the movie with Danny Glover who went through a lot because Queen was scared and bitter. History has repeate d itself in a different version today where black men are incarcerated and the single parent is left to raise the child alone. This movie is very realistic when the black man was Lynched by the Klan’s in so many ways has destroyed the families for decades. The movie struck me because as an African American light skinned woman as Jasmine Guy and her daughter Hailey Berry experienced what has happened for years with the fair skinned women sleeping with the Master and not being recognized because of the color of your skin and hiding the truth because this was unheard because you’re black.
It's a movie that entails a black woman’s struggles with slavery and how she was not acknowledged because of her skin color and was not suppose to be able to read back in those times. The actors and actresses playing in this movie were phenomenal. This is an awesome movie written by Alex Haley in his memory.
