Tyler Perry’s For Colored Girls (2010) I chose a very powerful yet heartbreaking scene from the movie For Colored Girls. This scene is about a mother (Crystal) who is in a very abusive relationship with an alcoholic ex-marine who can’t find a job coming back from the war. She works full time trying to pay the rent and take care of her two children she had with Bo (the Marine.) Bo is angry at the world and takes his frustrations out on Crystal. Scene---Bo has been drinking when Crystal stops by to pick something up for her boss that she’d forgotten about.

All this because of one decision she made to berry her brother caused her life to fall apart and everyone she loved to disappear.
A mortal sin is seen as the most grave because it is the result of a complete separation from God. In the movie, Leroy, Minny’s husband, beats her on a regular basis. Overtime, his treatment of her weakens her character physically and mentally and it is hard for her to be the strong women she is. Minny does not fight back, but keeps Leroy’s abuse to herself for most of the movie. In one instance after she lost her job, Leroy does more than beat Minny; he tries to kill her.
