It's a story about women supporting each other through life experiences/lessons and self discovery as they re-define their place in the world, etc.

Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

Your honest direct opinion... Movie: "Waiting To Exhale" What does the movie mean??

i have never seen that movie, so perhaps i should refrain from commenting here. at any rate i'd have to guess the movie is about a small child, holding his/her breath in the cereal aisle until mom buys the super sugar chocolate puffs instead of oatmeal. smile neutral

nod OR, it could be about a pair of divers, searching for sunken pirate treasure, who must rise to the surface very slowly to avoid a nasty case of the bends. waiting to exhale....

.

or maybe it's about being stuck in a crowded elevator with someone stinky...

Or a group of angry bitter women and their endless complaining about the men in their lives as they get loaded and exhale cigarette smoke. lol

could it be the story of an employee working in a no smoking zone who popped into the stairwell for a secret, forbidden cigarette but then someone else started walking upstairs from the floor below? ?

from one micro pov

the move is about a group of women who have to go through the subconcious pains of seeing their men victimized, criticized, marginilized, and controlled in a society that forces black women to be the shoulder to cry or be the one who has to worry about her son daily.

as in

will he make it home safely

will the cops victimize him

will he become hopeless

will he become a part of the prison system

will he give up trying because he sees many of his kind dying

will his father be victimized on his way home from work by some random cop jerk

will his father give up hope

will his father take out his frustration on that so called "angry black woman."

will she have to raise her daughter to be hard and strong like her?

will her children be able to go the societies racist gauntlet unscathed

many black wome wonder early on

can she make it on her own in a world where the women out number the men

can she face the world w/out a good man or will she settle for a second best

can she stay strong w/out feeling frustrated and angry

most of all can she let down her guard and be a soft and gentle from day to day

and let her feminity be expressed w/out negative bumps in her life?

>

this movie "waiting to exhale."

is about four intelligent black women and their struggles within a society where there are 8 women to 1 man.

it is mostly about taking a chance to not have to be on guard all the time and taking a chance to "exhale" and hope that release of stress and anxiety will never return. then they can smile and laugh and be happy with or without a man
