Diary of a Mad Black Woman

Diary of a Mad Black Woman, is a movie based on what many women go through. She is a bitter woman going through a divorce in which her husband left her for a younger woman. Then when he gets into a car accident leaving him paralyzed the younger woman leaves and its up to her to now take care of him after already moving on with life. The role of women in this movie especially by the main character is weakness. Her husband owned the house and took care of everything. She had never had a job and she says, "what is she to do now she's not good at anything in the work world." It portrays women as dependent and weak characters. It is only when she is happy after she falls inlove with another man. It's just another example of women needing a man. I think its important for young girls especially to know you can be independent and successful without a man around. When veiwing movies like this it encourages girls that you need a man to care of you and you will be nothing but sad and lonely without one.
