Genre Research: Diary of a Mad Black Woman

 What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? Diary of a mad black woman is a film about 18 years of marriage to a lawyer Charles, Helen is shocked when he announces he's ending their marriage and shacking up with Brenda. Helen retreats to the house of her grandmother Madea, who helps her destroy much of Charles' property, earning her house arrest. While Charles prepares for the trial of a corrupt client, Helen is courted by Orlando, an affectionate moving man with strong Christian values. As most dramas, it is a tale of broken bonds, heartbreak, and revenge. In our film “Life for life: A losing game” we plan on incorporating all of those and many more to produce the complete and versatile drama. The surrounding element that directly relates to our movie is the deception and anger caused by being done wrong by others.

What elements of the genre did the movie have that you like? The element of revenge is what I like the most. Being deceived is something almost every individual has experienced and can relate to. Only a few people get fed up with the deception and being mistreated and need to give the person payback. Our goal is to make our film interesting, breathe taking, and more importantly relatable in some way. No matter if the relationship is small, any kind of relation grants a different type of relationship to the film. This is why revenge is the element I like the most. The grime and grit she dealt with are sickening but the way she gets back at him makes it slightly worthwhile.

What elements of the genre did the movie have that did not appeal to you? It did not appeal well to me how poorly she was treated. You would think her husband of 10 plus years would love and value her. Instead of actually showing her love he made her feel less of a woman as much as a bad wife. On top of that abusing a woman is a major issue that I do not like nor tolerate. Lastly, he tried to bestow another woman with the luxuries his wife should have been receiving all along.
