AA Movie Critic

I do not dwell on colorism much. I feel like this movie displays and highlights a storyline more of colorism than it does the purpose of the products. When I watched this movie with my stylist I felt so uncomfortable because she laughed at almost every part about colorism. "Light skin thinks they're better than darker women", or "look better." This movie highlights black women's insecurities rather than black women's success. Yes, it happened in the past but does it really have to be emphasized that much in order to produce a film about a powerful and successful African American queen? The character in the movie that played as Madam C.J. Walker seemed to have a selfish-ambition attitude towards the hair products and tools. Why couldn't both of the women's stories be told? Did the other woman succeed as well? Maybe it's just me, or maybe it's just the society we live in.
