Diary of a Tired Black Man - The Movie

I recently had the opportunity to see the movie called Diary of a Tired Black Man. It is really more of a documentary than a drama. The film contains dramatized scenarios in a marriage of a black couple and then after the scene, real people are interviewed for their reactions. It's very telling. The film is actually an answer to many of the other movies depicting angry black woman who are angry because they have been misused and abused by black men. I think the movie is good because both men and women are interviewed. I really liked the scenes. The woman took out her pain from previous relationships on her husband although all he tried to do was be good to her. The film was not saying that all men were good or that all women were bipolar and evil Unfortunately, many movies brow beat men so much and make it sound like there are no good men left. I highly recommend this movie because it's great to generate discussion.
