It’s just the fact that it’s the woman he cheated on her with reaping the benefits of everything. I think THAT’S what sent her over the edge. She probably wouldn’t have cared if it was any other woman.
@@ameziaarchard8487 exactly because she probably felt like she was mocking her especially since she’s a part of the reason why the whole situation happened with her driving her car into the trailer. Even though ultimately it was because of him being unfaithful. She still connected her to it because she was the one he was cheating with.
That part. She lost her child due to him cheating with her. She said all she wanted was to be happy with him and have children. He also named his new boat the name she wanted to name it. He gave their dreams away.
@@ameziaarchard8487right. Especially knowing that the reason she can’t have kids is because of her (not really because she could have controlled her own actions) BUT YOU GET IT. it was a spiteful comment!
Dude gave her millions AND her mother's house back. The fact that that chick he cheated with catapulted him into success is something the Taraji character should have chalked up to being an object lesson learned. Revenge robbed her of enjoying those millions and her mom's house.
I remember watching this movie and feeling like I switched to his side at some point. I think because she never took accountability and should have left sooner. She also let her sisters’ influence her. But realistically, he was selfish, a cheater, didn’t even bother trying to explain. He was a burden, and he ended up with the woman he said not to worry about. He drained her. It’s easy for a woman who doesn’t depend on you as a partner to support you unconditionally. Diana had nothing to lose by being supportive.
He cheated one time and never cheated again in 18 years . He didn’t look at that woman again in that way until AFTER he was divorced and she helped him get on his feet 🤷🏿♀️ Melinda chose to stay while he couldn’t provide but all of sudden wanted him back when he gave her that check 😂
@yasmeenbeasley Even after all that, there were probably still parts of her that loved him & how he made her feel. Plus, she really wanted to live the life she was always promised with him and nothing else.
@yasmeenbeasley She probably thought he was still going to wait for her after all that happened. I don't blame her for thinking so, but yeah... she really just should have taken the check and moved on herself, but she just couldn't accept her own decisions as her fault or even part of the blame.
@@yasmeenbeasleyas far as the cheating, she didn’t act insecure unless it came to that woman. He can’t blame her for questioning the wallet being in his truck no matter how long it’s been. For me, it’s the fact that he didn’t even take 1 second to try to explain. That’s his wife and he was ready to just run out the door. He also should have immediately told her he interacted with that woman before she found out from the wallet. Even if I trust you again, I’m not going to feel secure if I know for a fact you kept something from me involving the same person. She had her problems FOR SURE! No sane person is driving a car into a trailer 😂 but I just think he didn’t love her. He loved what she provided for him: stability, consistency, friendship, financial support
She spent 20 years believing in his DREAM! Dreams don’t pay the bills😭 THATS why she left him, he showed himself to be unreliable, not a man of his word. On top of finding that wallet. So you not contributing as the MAN OF THE HOUSE and suspected of cheating? AGAIN? Yea she definitely should’ve just been mad and out the way (bc she sacrificed money and probably half of her life for his dream) but the divorce was definitely justified
@@albanybestdrumline i wouldn’t say she couldn’t be upset after it finally came true, it’s kind of like a “charge it to the game” upset. She still loved him, he just wasn’t being a good spouse. Thats the only reason she was done
@AllaijaBriann Then why try to get back with him after? It was done. He was, as you've said, a terrible spouse, and she had gotten him out of her life. She can't eat her cake and have it.
@@amiyahnishae_ yes the crazy was crazy🤣 i agree, but you hold a man down for 20 years and finally leave, on year 21 he starts to succeed. You’d be SICK!
The way some of yall not holding Melinda accountable and placing the blame on Robert is crazy. They both had their flaws but Melinda was the cause of her own downfall. She CHOSE to be with a man that couldn’t provide! SHE CHOSE to take him back and marry him after cheating. She CHOSE to support him for years. She CHOSE to believe in his dreams instead of her own! Instead of taking accountability for her actions she blamed everyone else instead of herself. She could’ve moved on with her life but she went down a dark road.
Literally!! Her self-esteem was low. You can't keke and let someone think it's okay to use you and then be mad when they use you. But, I didn't particularly appreciate how the movie tried to make HIM into the victim at the end. He was definitely a user who got successful off the backs of women.
@@obdianebut he also made sure those women were straight afterwards. he gave melinda $10 million & the house back. he bought diana a plane, a yacht, a ring , two wedding dresses bc melinda ruined the first one. & married her & traveled the world with her.
& Robert was STILL a user, STILL unemployed af while chasing his dreams & had a wife that believed in him, STILL lazy barely helping around the house & STILL a cheater. He CHOOSE to be that type of person so he is part to blame
I think part of the reason why Melinda's rage was so intense is because she refused to acknowledge & accept her part in maintaining the toxic relationship/marriage with Robert the User.
Robert played the victim until the very end. And Melinda tried gave everything and he used her drained her dry. I don’t think people quite understand the mental turmoil that puts smb through. But honestly this is just a cautionary tale don’t sacrifice nor give money to a man let alone a person period who invests nothing into you only asks begs & guilts you like Robert did. Any man that always have a sob story & never contributes as a provider on the frontend & backend be wary. Dont ride or die. For anybody. I don’t care the circumstances. Melinda is the classic case of Barbara the builder. Any time you build a man you building him for another broad. This is always how Barbara’s story goes, moral of the story is Don’t be Barbara the builder I can fix it head ahh😭✋🏽learn to stop ladies.
@@Buk718yes she needs to be held accountable for not getting of him sooner but she made the mistake of marrying him and atp they’re both responsible especially him at 18 no job, living off her expenses to pay for your battery and the moment you hit you marry the girl who basically said the exact same thing you said to me?? Just more open to you because of the fact you on your wife with me.
@@_tia.no.tamera Yea she made countless bad decisions. There’s really nobody else to blame. When you put others before yourself, don’t get mad with the repercussions. But i would also love to see this movie again from his POV.
@@Buk718 so me calling her Barbara the builder, calling the story a cautionary tale and saying her actions of giving to a man who gave her nothing is not me holding her accountable bffr. Yall odd and apparently can’t comprehend what I just stated. Any way carry on.
Robert played victim he was a user and Melinda was a I can fix it a builder. And Robert built his happiness on top of neck. That’s what happens when you be Barbara the builder. She thought they was building together as she was the only one invested as he did nothing. Being a ride or die is a death note you write for yourself. If you as a woman decide you gon be a builder they will stand & stomp on top of your neck as you have built. You built it. Ladies have to stop being Barbara the builder. That’s how you get taken advantage & for granted. Men are naturally selfish esp if you let them be by not speaking up for yourself nor do you hold them accountable & require them to be generous to you. It should be apart of your standard. Work on yourself only. Focus on you as a young woman you shouldn’t be building no grown man. That’s backwards.
Women will stay with a man who is whooping their asses like they are misbehaving children, so the fact that she stayed with a man who cheated on her is very believable. When you think you are in love with someone, you will forgive almost anything.
This movie is so complex, it’s like the first half of their life together he was all bad, cheating on her after she bought a car for you dude? But the second half is all her being in the wrong, she should’ve walked away and work on self, you can’t force people to love you or be with you. She literally lost her life trying to get him back, she loved him more than herself.
She should have happily taken the money. He was a user who got successful off the backs of women. (and they both were too infatuated). Sure, he had a dream, but he wouldn't have achieved any of it without Melinda (at the beginning ) or Diana(at the end). He married Melinda because she could help his goal (financially). And, married Diana because she had business connections (plus took him in when he was homeless). So, IMO even if Melinda had not divorced him, he would have left her for Diana. He didn't love either woman he loved himself, his goals, and whoever helped him with his comeup.
but he also paid both of those women back. diana literally got a multimillionaire husband & was spoiled to death just because she mentioned something to her boss. & melinda got $10 million
@@amiyahnishae_ But, he wouldn't have the money without them. They both helped him get it. Melinda did it for 18 years (in every way possible), and when she threw him out, Diana took him in and kept promoting him to her boss. That's the problem, both women acted like he was the prize when in reality he wouldn't have been successful without them.
@@obdiane because essentially, he was. both women literally got 10x more than what they put in. ESPECIALLY diana. i mean imagine mentioning something to your boss & ending up with a husband who has $300 million in the bank & spending millions on you.
@@amiyahnishae_ Yeah, he was spending money on her, but they had just gotten married. You don't know how he would have been with Diana, later. Look at the type of husband he was with Melinda. Plus, I feel he was only keeping Diana around to help him manage and maneuver him through the business side of things.
They both left so much unsaid. He should’ve explained he wasn’t cheating which is why she wanted a divorce. She should’ve told him he needed to get some type of job and worked on that battery part time. Then she should’ve followed her mind and not listened to her sisters if she really wanted to stay with him.
She didn't want to listen to him that he didn't cheat. At that point, she was already fed up with him after years of resentment. There was no reasoning with her. She divorced him and threw him out into the street, like a worthless piece of trash. He tried to save their marriage, but she completely gave up. There was no coming back from that.
Even if Mel hadn't divorced him, I guarantee he would've cheated on her with ole girl again. Why? Because she now had money, status & connections that he could suck dry
@@JMac7395he didn’t suck either of them dry tho. he gave melinda $10 million & house. he bought diana a yacht, plane, penthouse in the sky, ring, two wedding dresses like come on. & he made sure he & dianas relationship was completely platonic when he went to ask her for help with the battery
@JMac7395 Just because of one cheating incident when he was still a horny teenager, you guys just decided to blacklist him forever. He had his flaws, but he wasn't a bad person like you guys tried to paint him. If she wasn't going to ever get over that one moment of weakness from him, then she shouldn't have taken him back. He was a dreamer, who's dream eventually became a reality. The moment she gave up on him and tossed him out on the street like a piece of trash, there was no coming back from that.
Taraji character was supportive she was literally SUPPORTING this nlgga the whole movie until she couldn't no more. She better than alot of us cus 18 years of somebody telling u they gon do sum but have no results is ridiculous. Of course that other woman look like the good guy cus she know that man was bout to be filthy rich so duh she gon play that role. She got the man taraji built from the ground up 💀
I feel her and totally understand her. But she has to take some blame in that. He basically used her for the money and she knew it and let him. He cheated and she took him back and he wasn’t helping her throughout those years. So when it all came down and she left him and he got with the woman he cheated with in college, of course she’s gonna think he still been messing around with her and felt played that’s why she went out the deep end. If it was anyone else, she probably wouldn’t had went bat shit crazy. Her sisters was too involved in her marriage also
All though I feel her she took little to no accountability for this awful relationship, I know we all have been in or seen this type of relationship and eventually you have to let it go. Married or not... This movie was insane, how did she get back on that boat? How was she dry? 🤔
Now that I’m older, and I rewatch the movie now as a 20 year old, listening to how Melinda stone were changed while she was telling the story to the therapist. I feel like she did honestly know that she really needed to control her anger and she might have felt regretful on how she handled things and scared of what she could possibly be capable of if her anger were to get out of control, because she said her self in the movie that when she gets this way, it takes her to a really dark place that scares her. But again, after re-telling this entire story, her anger took over again, and her pride got in the way, like I mentioned, I felt like the way how how her tone was to be softer and more regretful of her actions, but the anger came back when she finally told her story from start to finish, probably for the first time in her entire life.
Melinda kept taking what people were saying as, “ you’re telling me I don’t have the right to be angry”. She had the right to be angry entirely, and after hearing the story from start to finish, it’s understandable why she was so angry what the problem was is that she was letting her anger lead to her detriment.
I feel like a lot of yall are trying to minimize the cheating as if it doesn’t matter at all just because he never did it again. The way he disappeared after she got him the car, didn’t call/talk to her, and then the way he picked up that phone when they finally talked? Even his sorry ass apology afterwards lets you know what kind of person he is, everything out of his mouth was an empty promise at that point. If he couldn’t stay faithful and she literally tried to kill him, they both had no reason to stay in the relationship (unless it was to continue using her) I think it’s honestly unrealistic for a man who acts like this to ever actually repay you lol. That’s not to say there aren’t people worth supporting, but I get the impression that he learned/changed over time and was definitely a user in the beginning. And that makes a lot more sense to me than Melinda going from good to bad, and Robert gets to just be the hero the whole time for literally sucking her dry because he…believed in himself? And made promises he had no means to fulfill?? People like that want points for having the intention to do things they can’t actually do and it’s weird.
Living off a woman working 2 jobs, allowing her to pay for college and a car, and not attempting to lift a finger at any point is not aspirational. This idea that women don’t want to be ride or dies or don’t want to build with men who aren’t well off should not apply to you using her for every resource she has and giving nothing back. You’re using her and expecting the promise of something to be enough. You can receive support without someone completely supporting you financially. Just like you shouldn’t be in her position, no one should be comfortable in his.
This is a roller coaster. But ultimately I understand her anger bc by the time he got his life together, he had wasted most of hers in several ways. Put her through a lot and even though she made some dumb decisions, she did it for him bc she loved him. That chick he ended up with did him good in the end, but she would’ve NEVER held it down the way Malinda did. Tbh if I were him, I would’ve given her time to re-think things once I left that office. She has every right to be what some would call “shallow” in that moment bc she waited so long for things to take off for him.
"I can be the mother-blanking devil." To be honest, she showed him exactly who she was the day they first met when they bumped into each other. The woman had deep-seated mental issues long before she met him. That's why she kept making all of those decisions to stay with him, even though, at the time, he wasn't making any progress and showing her all the reasons she should have left. There were many things not working in her mind that fueled the acrimony. It's true that she genuinely fell in love and gave all of herself and then some to help support him, but at the end of the day, she caused much of her pain and grief because she allowed her emotions to control her and wound up ruining her life. She made the decision to ram her truck into his trailer when he first cheated on her and, consequently, made it so that she could never have children. Then, she made the decision to get back together with him. You can give people a second chance, but if they don't improve and show you change after the second time, then can you really blame anyone else but yourself? This movie is interesting because it allows you to see both sides with ample context. I felt for her because, to her credit, she allowed herself to be vulnerable and stood by her man's side against all the odds. However, her mental state was in shambles long before it all began. Long post, I know. Great reaction. That's why I come to your channel because I know I'm always going to be laughing whenever you do a reaction to these movies.
Crazy part is he gave the other lady the same EXACT things he promised Melinda… Didn’t switch it up or anything & I think that’s what really hurt her after 18 years of supporting him 😭
No, how the hell did she get onto the boat in the middle of the ocean. How did she find them... and if she snuck on before they departed, she waited to be theatrical instead racking up stealth kills.
I don’t care, everyone was wrong in their own way. My God the sisters were wayyyy too damn involved in Mel’s love life. They need to put that energy into their own marriages. You never give anybody the key in your relationship, family or not. Robert, he did his best. However, he should’ve contributed more. She was cashing out money left and right, he needed to have a steady job while perfecting his prototype. Mel should NOT have listened to her bitter sisters. Once she told them he cheated on her when they were younger, they automatically saw him in that light. This is why relationship details should remain confidential between you and your partner, especially if you’re willing to take them back. Mel worked hard and kept them afloat, and I applaud her for that. If only she didn’t listen to her sisters and was a bit more patient (also effective communicated instead of yelling or nagging). Her sisters influenced every decision she made and she never acted as an individual woman. That was ultimately her downfall.
This is what I’ve been saying. Robert wasn’t perfect but the reason everything went left is because she didn’t trust him. Instead of trusting him she let her bitter sisters egg her on. He cheated in the past but was faithful the remainder of their relationship! Even in the end he still gave her 10 million and her mother’s house back. She didn’t even care about that she wanted to be with him and have everything he promised her.
@@tommyg8493 and he got a job working for her sisters business. Was it long overdue? Yes, but he was making an effort. He only lost it because he finally had an opportunity to make his dreams come true.
Understand that she choose to stay with this man for 18 years. It’s not like they had a child together. If she was so unhappy she could’ve divorced much sooner.
she should’ve never dropped her money on him and he could’ve had whatever jobs along the way to bring in a little change . In conclusion, they were both wrong and needed professional help 💀
This movie was sad in all aspects and both of them were to blame. He took all the advantage of her that he could and payed for it. Mel was crazy before she met him but he woke up a sleeping dragon. She wouldn’t have been such otherwise. She gave up literally everything for this guy. At some point it wasn’t even about the money anymore when he cheated on her earlier, but her anger and rage towards the situation caused her own injury and not being able to have children. She stayed with him although she knew he had his own agenda. When he got rich and bought her mother’s house back that he helped her to lose, and gave her all that money he owed her and then some it wasn’t enough. She loved him with everything in her and I think he loved her too, but he was selfish in their relationship at first and then some other woman started reaping the benefits of her pain. That poor woman had no idea what she got herself into. Me personally I would not have gone that far and I would have taken everything he gave me and his apology and paid for lots of therapy and kept it moving. She committed murder and ended up dead herself because she was already crazy.
@Favouredz Girl WHAT??? So you just gon' be BROKE? Couldn't be me (or any smart woman for that matter). Sometimes I feel like a lot of black women are dedicated to poverty and struggle. Give ME the check then lol
@@Favouredz thats dumb asf. he gave her that money after she rightfully divorced him. there was no other way for him to “pay back what he did” as they had been divorced for months & separated even longer. she was literally pushing 40 living with her sister.
Loved this review! This movie pissed me off! Idk as a woman I hate the way she was done. He literally gave her dream life to someone else that just randomly stepped in. BUT if u ask me, I think that Diana left her wallet in his car on purpose bc she knew Melinda’s temper
And I also think If he wanted her which it showed he didn’t. He should’ve started all the way back to step 1 regaining her trust, rebuilding the love and giving her those promises he made. Getting her house back and giving her money was more than enough but her heart and feelings too involved
@@thatonkgau5221 he didn’t but he knew she had it. Everytime something came up finically who he went to crying? Melinda! She did it cause she loved him. Like anyone who would see someone they loved struggling financially they’ll give it
@@adondrebrown3646 Ok paying for the semester that's one thing but buying him a freaking car is ridiculous. She should've just let him take the bus and invested that money.
I think she was even more upset that he didn’t even put up that much of a fight for their marriage. She still loved him and he didn’t even call her after she lost her mom’s house. You put all your time into a marriage that he didn’t contribute to I would be pissed too. But at the end of the day she shouldn’t have married him in the first place. He unfaithful from the beginning and he never was financially stable. He pretty much showed him who he was. He was never a good partner but she has to take accountability too.
Both of em had major issues. They both loved each other but he was a sorry husband who mind was too focused on the dream instead of the daily burden he put on his wife. And she was too mentally unstable to keep how she felt in for all those years
Money doesn’t buy happiness she wanted him to love her and just help her out and for 18 years he couldn’t try to do it. Completed didn’t care what she wanted at all. Gave her zero affection and she just stuck it through. He walks away with his dream and thinks money is just going to fix it all. She wanted to live the life he promised and if he truly loved her after he got his dream he would’ve tried to get her back and make that happen
So did we forget 1. She divorced him and kicked him out (about 10 years too late but I digress) 2. She got $10 million dollars and the crib back which she could have used to still have that life WITHOUT the man who did all those things to her and folded all of it because of her own instability emotionally. 3. Even before he gave her the $10 million, she said “We never getting back together” why on Earth would he try to go back beyond that. Plus his new woman was speaking life into that man and he liked that so it was easier for him to move on
I remember I worked at a Movie Theater when this movie came out. I watched a pre-screening for employees and I was the only one there and I FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS MOVIE. I worked the Sunday morning it released and I helped an older black lady to find the Theater # and she was one of 5 people. It was slow enough that I wanted to walk her out too and CHILD, SHE WAS CONFUSES, CRYING AND STUNNED. We walked extra slow, talked about the movie and we loved that we couldn't pick a side. This movie was a theatrical flop, but I will cherish that memory forever 💜
I was waiting for you to watch this...Ha! This is a movie that causes arguments in my household! You are either on her side or his and I am always on his side! She had to accept her part in this too. Especially in the beginning. He could have helped her more but she could have left when she kept seeing that he was not doing anything productive with his life. I don't care how much you love somebody, if they are not willing to help you and you feel like you are in it alone...than baby YOU CAN DO BAD ALL BY YOURSELF!
If you didn't see Malinda as the problem, I have to say that you are being biased and probably a problem yourself. The therapist diagnosed her B.P.D, in which we saw her become someone else when upset. That man didn't want to divorce her, and yes, he was getting money and other things from her, but guess what she could've said NO, but she didn't. He had to move on, and she did too, but it wasn't until she saw that other woman get the things she was promised in their marriage that made her feel disrespected.
@@KeelaHughes.to be fair Robert gave her 10X the money she spent on him throughout the years, and yes they both fucked up but Melinda signed up for that and she stayed when she knew he wasn’t no good, Robert didn’t necessarily have the support that he needed from Melinda either, but he still should have been upfront with her. At the end of the day regardless Melinda made the choice to get a divorce so she shouldn’t feel entitled to get back at him or to sabotage his relationship, he gave her a chance to try again she didn’t want it, he moved on and got happy. The end
Great reaction, funny as usual! I haven't wavered since the first time I watched this movie... Robert was wrong AF up until he pulled up to her job and MADE HER FINANCIALLY WHOLE! Money she spent on him 10 fold? ✔ Bought her mama's house back? ✔Melinda became the villain the moment she didn't take the final L of him officially moving on with Diana at that condo. Plus, all the stuff Rob kept promising Mel was for MRS GAYLE...lol she was the Mrs until she divorced him and he married someone else. **Kanye shrug** After all these years, I'm convinced that the people that DON'T think Melinda was out of control in the end are the kind that cheat back and stay in ridiculous relationships way past their expiration dates, and have the audacity to get mad when the other person moves on.
Honestly it’s different ways to look at this movie. I really understood why she was mad. You stay with a man and basically pay for his dreams for 20 years and NOTHING come from it. No money, no children, nothing. You sacrificed time and thousands of dollars on a dream that didn’t even pan out. So you’re already at your wits end, then you find out he maybe cheated which honestly was just the straw that broke the camels back. JUST for him to finally get the dream that you technically paid for and him give the bearings of that to another woman. My thing is why didn’t he come back after his battery hit on some “baby my battery hit and now all our dreams can be a reality” . Forget the money you finally get the life you promised her then give it to another women. I honestly woulda been mad too. Not enough to murder someone but I definitely understood the anger.
She got $10 million dollars and the crib and only gave up $1.2 million and 20 years of life and still chose crazy and deranged over buying her new life. Shit she could have bought a crib in LA and found her another dude with the same income to sail off with…. She was tooo attached to a man and not herself. To answer your question”why didnt he come back and say baby we up”….. she divorced him, kicked him out and got with another dude. Why would he come back ever? Before she got handed that $10 million, she looked at him and said “we are never getting back together”. Its over and she was incapable of handling that fact because HE was up and moved on. With $10 M’s she started torturing herself always watching their lives on social media and stalking and sabotaging instead of building her life up.
@@Mr301ENTThis is where her mental illness she truly exhibited before they officially met comes in to play. But I see both sides (he moving on & her going crazy)
I remember my sister showed me this and I was so shocked like this girl is crazy but they were playing a lot of Nina Simone which is someone I listen but it makes since to play her because of how her songs give a theme
Yes he did her wrong asf but some of the stuff she did was just too far I don’t blame her for thinking he cheated again because how would it look if you marrying the person who you cheated on your partner with
“ *shows ring* Is that a ring pop?” That sent me 😂. I absolutely adore this film. It's really relatable and portrays what happens when women are mistreated. The film teaches perseverance, believing and supporting one another in love, and that when you say forever, you must stay to it. With Acrimony, writer-director Tyler Perry creates a surprisingly subtle thriller. The cinematography, storyline, and story are all excellent, allowing the actors to shine and provide memorable performances. In my opinion, Acrimony is one of Tyler Perry's best films. The film depicts real-life issues that most grown individuals who are married face. Plus, a life lesson for the typical pair.This film appeals to me since it depicts the couple's troubles as well as their respective points of view. Taraji P. Henson's performance was excellent as always, and the plot was well-written. Taraji P. Henson played the frustrated wife who felt it was time to strike back. Going into the cinema, I assumed this would be another romantic love story gone wrong. However, this film proved me incorrect. I wholeheartedly recommend seeing this film.
The moral of this story was supposed to be that being bitter isn't healthy. The man was trying to do better but because she was so filled with rage, she couldn't see that. So that's why it ended the way it did.
Also Melinda had mental health issues that went unchecked esp by the family. They should have been got her help esp after that car wreck. But instead they let that using ahh boy talk to her which was him lying & manipulating her more instead. If it was my sister she would have got help not her speaking to that man who triggered her mental issues from get go. They knew sis was not the one. And was not sane, but they let her trigger enter her life once more.
Please take mental health seriously in the black community. Melinda was a loose cannon waiting to be triggered. And she happened to encounter the one person who was willing & able to trigger her madness. You can’t just use people to no end esp Not a sane Person. People kill for less that’s why you have to be careful what you do.
Damn this movie is so complex because it’s not black and white. I feel like the at the end of it he has a lot of blame in this. He cheated on her after she bought him a car, he took from her for decades and let her work 2 jobs to support him. He didn’t care for her emotionally which really was all she wanted. He put his battery over his wife every time, while she’s crying thinking that he cheated on her (again) with the woman from college instead of explaining real quick and asking her to come with him, he runs off. And then after they separated he quickly gets remarried to the woman she thought he cheated on her with. Like how does that look? And when she asked for a divorce he didn’t fight for the relationship either. I’m sure if he would’ve showed that he genuinely cared and wanted to try she would’ve folded but he easily let go confronting all her thoughts. Mel was too naive and attached herself to him because he was around when her mother died and made her feel safe and she couldn’t lose that. She gave all of herself to him, all of her emotional support and financial support. But her reactions were her downfall. Sometimes in life you have to take the L. She should’ve taken the money gotten into therapy and tried to move on. Her anger around made her react in a way that had irreversible consequences, but she didn’t learn that lesson. I feel bad for her truly because when you invest so much in someone emotionally it’s hard to let go, but instead of her sisters being so uptight they should’ve been there for her to watch her mental health because she needed that support. No one ever gave her the support she needed even though she had a family and a husband and it’s sad. And It wasn’t about the money, she wanted to come back when he had the money because she knew that he would finally be able to focus on her and they could be happy. She never cared if he had money which is why the 10 million didn’t mean anything to her, it was the emotional investment that she could never recoup that she was stuck on.
He cheated in college though and they were together for 18 years after that so for her to let her sisters get in her head especially with all her sisters had going on was on her especially when all she had was an accusation. Yeah he could’ve did more no denying that but for the cheating accusation to be the deal breaker and for you to want him back after he begged for you to not leave him over an accusation you cannot go back and expect everything good especially when he ain’t have to do nothing else for you after that yet he went out of his way to give you somethinf
I'm suspicious of where Diana got the money to give to Robert. It's true that companies buy different technologies, but they usually target technology that is current or has future potential. Robert's technology is 20ish years old & he's never successfully got it to work. It would be inefficient for a company to waste money on outdated tech. I think Diana either loaned that large amount of money or pulled it from her own pocket. Since Robert loves spending, not making money, it wouldn't be long before he burned through the money Diana gave him & started working through her bank accounts
He was definitely a bad husband BUT what I didn’t agree with is how she listened to her sisters . She made it very clear they would never get back together and even joked on his suit saying he must have rented it. Then when he gave her that check all of sudden she wanna show up to his house in that trench coat . Lol no mam!
crazy movie. I feel for melinda. Being with someone for all those years. day in and day out can really take a toll on you. Robert struggling to make his dream come true. breakthrough happens. How did it come to this?
Yall keep saying she should just take the 10mill n move on .. BUT yall forgetting she never cared about the money! She proved that in the beginning of the movie . When she had it all she gave it to him because she loved him nd he loved her .. he promised her always and forever… she stayed with him because of love people.. she divorced him bc she truly thought he cheated on her nd do t blame her bc he didn’t really convinced her that he didn’t.. the only reason she really left is bc she thought he didn’t love her…. All she wanted was him tbh💯.
Even though he gave her 10 million and her mama house that’s dosen’t take back those 18 years of her life wasted she could’ve had kids a bigger house she could’ve had it all but she spent most of her life support him he owe her those 18 years back but that’s not an excuse to sneak on a boat and try to kill him but it’s sad how she went it she went it mad and bitter and not happy with herself
I’m pissed off at the fact that dude gave her the deed to her moms house and a check for ten mill for her to have fun with and she still not happy,that’s a big victory if ever seen one
You’re right SLK she should have left him when he cheated….I mean she had to get most of her reproductive organs removed because of him! It’s not that much love in the world!!
I see both sides and I believe he genuinely loved her but to be fair, even though he paid her back monetarily it wasn’t enough. She was looking for the same amount of love, patience, and faith that she had put into him for over 18 years. When she asked for the divorce he gave up and signed those paper’s pretty quickly. She wanted him to put the same time and effort into fighting for her and the marriage as she did for their relationship and his dream all those years. And think about it… he didn’t just move on with any woman. He moved on and gave her life to the woman he cheated on her with. That makes it 10 times worse. It pours salt in the wound. She was thinking as soon as we divorce, you get a job? But you wouldn't get one and help with our bills. I say I want a divorce out of anger and you sign the papers without much of a fight at all. Then you give everything you promised me to my arch nemesis. I'm not saying I agree with her recourse but I do understand why she snapped. 🤷🏽♀️
Some people feel like she left her wallet behind on purpose. In the beginning Melinda had the right to be upset. After she divorced him& he gave her the money and purchased her mother’s house I feel like she should have gone on about her way. Also, she should have kept her sisters out of their marriage then things would have been different.
Ladies never listen to your bitter friends or family members. Melinda clearly still loved him but she was listening to her sisters and went through with a divorce. Her dreams would’ve came true if she was more patient and trusted her husband!
He also wasn't shit though. He was just taking and taking and taking and had to be confronted to do the bare minimum of getting a job to help out with bills. Also she should have dumped him for cheating and not ran into rv. She stayed with him out of obligation because she felt no other man would want her since she couldn't have kids. She clearly had some kind of BPD ND was trauma bonded to him
@@crispri3919agreed. While I do agree to be mindful of outside whispers, if you're showed evidence time and time again then you can't wait around for the one miracle to make up for everything that person did to hurt you
I've watched this movie multiple times lol i agreed with Melinda when i first saw it, after watching it again i believe once he oaid her she should have left him alone. But I've always felt like Diana fell in love with robert after watching those battery tapes and i fewl like she left that wallet in his truck on purpose. I feel like Diana was the puppet master and the villain of the story 😂😂😂
Robert was a con man since he was young. Melinda was a naive girl who wanted love so much she sacrificed a lot due to Robert’s constant guilt tripping which is manipulation. He used Melinda the entire time. While Melinda thought they loved each other & it was for love. Robert was wrong. End of story. And Melinda continued on her path to her demise caused by a manipulative man.
This exactly, cheated on her while milking her money for his selfish gains, she was so young and in love she couldnt grasp what was going on nor could she regulate and communicate her thoughts and feelings he was more experienced then her and probably bc of her mental health issue, made her act out and lose her ovaries!!!The emotional manipulation gaslighting emotional ABUSE, Caused trauma and shaped her to what she became…its unfair she has blame ofcourse but we have to look at the root, And robert even manipulated the Viewers hahahahaha ghaaaleee this movie pissed me off all over again.
Also just because someone is willing to give dont take advantage thats wrong. And if you find yourself investing into a person and they just take & give nothing back. Stop immediately. That’s not your person. Don’t enable users don’t be a victim. Love isn’t pain nor sacrifice esp if it’s at the expense of you. And you are left in pain. If you find yourself in pain leave.
Robert was far from the perfect husband, he was selfish and self absorbed and wasn't contributing enough to his marriage. But he did love Melissa and he tried to make things right with her by buying her back her mother's house and giving her a million dollars to repay for all the years she spent supporting him. So i dont hate him or see him as the real bad guy just a flawed man. Melissa she was to inpatient with him and greedy. If she stopped listening to her Bitter sisters and been more patient with him, she would've gotten everything Robert promised her. But she wasn't and for all her talks about hating Robert and calling him a con man she still kept taking him back after he cheated and giving him money him money when she didn't have to. As you mentioned Melinda didn't have to buy him that expensive car she couldve just bought him a truck or scooter. If she had just accepted and been happy with Roberts original offer none of this would've happened.
I think she was more than patient. And I don’t think she was greedy just resentful that she put in so much time so much money so much support and gene he finally gets it together after being the one to build him up she can’t take part in it. She definitely should one have listened to her sisters if she still loved him, but she should’ve left earlier because he was taking so much out of her.
Mel wasn't greedy, she was patient and hopeful and above all supportive until too much weighed down on her psyche including her sisters involvement. They were too judgmental, probably connected to their mother's death and took it upon themselves to protect Mel in her stead. Robert did love her, too damned determined for his own good though. lol If Mel could just move on and use the money to build a better life without Robert or at least didn't give him too cold a shoulder (she had every reason too) things could've worked out.
@@consoledollz1688 Okay yeah Robert didn't contribute anything to the relationship. He ain't perfect, he's no innocent Saint but at least he owns up to his actions and tries to make it right. Melinda doesn't own up to anything, she doesn't take responsibility for the reckless decisions she made. Such as taking him back after he cheated and KEPT GIVING HIM SO MUCH MONEY.
I understand Melinda to a degree she went through the paint with the con man (can’t rmb his name) literally and willingly. In Melinda eyes ole girl literally won (a kid, marriage and money) and didn’t go through the rough years of struggling and being delusional for a selfish man. He was trifling, she was psychotic.
This movie stresses me out. Though I agree that Melinda was stupid in many of the decisions she made concerning Robert, I whole heartedly believe that Robert is a bad person. He was using her, he was taking advantage of her kindness and love during every part of their relationship. He was selfish, he did not care that he screwed every one over to get what he wanted. He sat there with a smile on his face when she agreed to mortgage the house. Like, is she stupid. Yes. And should she have left him sooner. Absolutely. But I understand her anger when she was the one financially supporting him on the promise that the both of them together would reap the benefits of his dream. Not just the money, but the lifestyle. Cuz at the end of it all, for some reason, she loved him, and wanted to have those things TOGETHER, she and him. It is evident during her spiral, that she did not care about the money. The money did not fix what she sacrificed, what she endured for him, and it wasn't what she really wanted anyway. She wanted the stability and a decent life with her husband which is what he promised her. The only reason she divorced him was because she believed he was cheating on her again. So to see another woman, the very woman he cheated on her with in the past, get the ring she was promised, the house she was promised, everything she was promised, on top of having a baby she could never have, pushed her all the way over the edge. In parts of the movie, I definitely see where Robert is coming from too cuz letting go of a dream you've been working on for nearly 2 decades is a lot and he was willing to do it. And for those saying the new woman encouraged Robert, Melinda did too, but she was carrying the whole marriage on her shoulders so it makes sense that she slowly started losing faith in him when he never showed her progress. She poured her everything into him with nothing in return while they were married so....idk. This movie makes my head hurt. It's a lot to think about in both Robert and Melinda's actions, but again, I definitely see why she's so angry since everything that was promised to her was given to another woman. Edit: And thennnn now that I think about it, this movie tries to make the other woman into some sort of savior when she had different connects. Melinda had the money to support Robert and get the things he needed for the battery, but this new lady worked at the company so of course it was easier for her to get Robert's foot in the door. Melinda was there for Robert and literally built him from the ground up. With all that considered, it makes total sense to me how she would lose her mind. Especially when we remember she's not all the way there in the head anyway. So I further understand her point of view even though I don't agree with her decisions and how she handled her anger. She is partially responsible for this and unfortunately it was her downfall. In an ideal reality for her, she would've taken that 10 million and did something in life for herself. Take herself on trips. Get her own dream house, but she decided to live in her rage
Robert was still a bad husband with or without money I would have taken my 10 mil and went to France found myself a Parisian silver fox husband and proudly left Robert alone with miss Diana. I feel like he treated Diana differently than Melinda. maybe thats because Diana seemed to be more supportive than Melinda.
This movie still pisses me off lol all that for him to STILL end up with the woman he cheated with. Lol 😂 all she had to do was let it go, let her be the struggle love, waste HER time (I have a feeling she would’ve said nope and been out tho) etc., the not being able to have A child and the fact he paid her millions and was still given a chance to get her life back….still throws me off 🫨
For everybody saying he’s down bad but the 1st thing she said when his battery hit was they were never getting back together even after begging her not to divorce him.Her whole expression changed when he told her the battery hit then gives her the deeds to her moma crib + 10mill for the pain he she dealt with when niggas ain’t tryna give a bih biggie bag from Wendy’s lol
Melinda definitely had rights to br angry still even after he gave her the check etc. However Robert was more than generous giving back the money he took from hrr basically. It's 50/50 both were wrong and paid for it in the end. Let this be a lesson just take the money and move on.
I love the fact that the entire score is music by the late-great Nina Simone. The fact that she never wanted to become an entertainer or a singer. She originally wanted to become a classical concert pianist but the school she intended on attending either didn't pick her or didn't allow her to even audition because she was a woman of color. But that was a blessing in disguise because without Nina, music would've had a huge void within it.
This movie is soo dark and I love it 😭 idk why but I do but he wasn’t shit for marrying the girl he cheated on her with I’ll stand by that 😂 Taraji should’ve been in jail already too (in the role)
i think him marrying diana kind of proved thats who he always wanted. as soon as she bought the car he immediately stopped talking to her & started fucking diana. when he finally makes it big he immediately marries Diane & treats her like a damn queen. meanwhile him & melinda didnt even fuck for monthss.

Aye should do reaction of the straight outta Compton movie
react to boyz n the hood
@@YLNMicah he did already it's just on his patreon
@@liljaygaming2030 he did already
@@sherissaw he watched obsessed already.
It’s just the fact that it’s the woman he cheated on her with reaping the benefits of everything. I think THAT’S what sent her over the edge. She probably wouldn’t have cared if it was any other woman.
Especially when she implied that she was pregnant in court that was the last nail on the coffin
@@ameziaarchard8487 exactly because she probably felt like she was mocking her especially since she’s a part of the reason why the whole situation happened with her driving her car into the trailer. Even though ultimately it was because of him being unfaithful. She still connected her to it because she was the one he was cheating with.
That part. She lost her child due to him cheating with her. She said all she wanted was to be happy with him and have children. He also named his new boat the name she wanted to name it. He gave their dreams away.
@@ameziaarchard8487right. Especially knowing that the reason she can’t have kids is because of her (not really because she could have controlled her own actions) BUT YOU GET IT. it was a spiteful comment!
Dude gave her millions AND her mother's house back. The fact that that chick he cheated with catapulted him into success is something the Taraji character should have chalked up to being an object lesson learned. Revenge robbed her of enjoying those millions and her mom's house.
I remember watching this movie and feeling like I switched to his side at some point. I think because she never took accountability and should have left sooner. She also let her sisters’ influence her.
But realistically, he was selfish, a cheater, didn’t even bother trying to explain. He was a burden, and he ended up with the woman he said not to worry about. He drained her.
It’s easy for a woman who doesn’t depend on you as a partner to support you unconditionally. Diana had nothing to lose by being supportive.
He cheated one time and never cheated again in 18 years . He didn’t look at that woman again in that way until AFTER he was divorced and she helped him get on his feet 🤷🏿♀️ Melinda chose to stay while he couldn’t provide but all of sudden wanted him back when he gave her that check 😂
@yasmeenbeasley
Even after all that, there were probably still parts of her that loved him & how he made her feel. Plus, she really wanted to live the life she was always promised with him and nothing else.
@@EternalStorm796 I get that I really do but you can’t be mad if a person moves on after you divorce them.
@yasmeenbeasley
She probably thought he was still going to wait for her after all that happened. I don't blame her for thinking so, but yeah... she really just should have taken the check and moved on herself, but she just couldn't accept her own decisions as her fault or even part of the blame.
@@yasmeenbeasleyas far as the cheating, she didn’t act insecure unless it came to that woman. He can’t blame her for questioning the wallet being in his truck no matter how long it’s been. For me, it’s the fact that he didn’t even take 1 second to try to explain. That’s his wife and he was ready to just run out the door. He also should have immediately told her he interacted with that woman before she found out from the wallet. Even if I trust you again, I’m not going to feel secure if I know for a fact you kept something from me involving the same person. She had her problems FOR SURE! No sane person is driving a car into a trailer 😂 but I just think he didn’t love her. He loved what she provided for him: stability, consistency, friendship, financial support
She spent 20 years believing in his DREAM! Dreams don’t pay the bills😭 THATS why she left him, he showed himself to be unreliable, not a man of his word. On top of finding that wallet. So you not contributing as the MAN OF THE HOUSE and suspected of cheating? AGAIN? Yea she definitely should’ve just been mad and out the way (bc she sacrificed money and probably half of her life for his dream) but the divorce was definitely justified
But look what happened after the dream finally came true? You can’t be mad after the fact when you said you were done and finished
@@albanybestdrumline i wouldn’t say she couldn’t be upset after it finally came true, it’s kind of like a “charge it to the game” upset. She still loved him, he just wasn’t being a good spouse. Thats the only reason she was done
@AllaijaBriann Then why try to get back with him after? It was done. He was, as you've said, a terrible spouse, and she had gotten him out of her life. She can't eat her cake and have it.
@@AllaijaBriannwhich is exactly why her anger makes no sense. she RIGHTFULLY left him. all that crazy shit post divorce is wild
@@amiyahnishae_ yes the crazy was crazy🤣 i agree, but you hold a man down for 20 years and finally leave, on year 21 he starts to succeed. You’d be SICK!
Fun fact: the girl who plays young melinda also played young cookie in Empire
Who knew?
And kato rat ass in bmf
The way some of yall not holding Melinda accountable and placing the blame on Robert is crazy. They both had their flaws but Melinda was the cause of her own downfall. She CHOSE to be with a man that couldn’t provide! SHE CHOSE to take him back and marry him after cheating. She CHOSE to support him for years. She CHOSE to believe in his dreams instead of her own! Instead of taking accountability for her actions she blamed everyone else instead of herself. She could’ve moved on with her life but she went down a dark road.
Literally!! Her self-esteem was low. You can't keke and let someone think it's okay to use you and then be mad when they use you. But, I didn't particularly appreciate how the movie tried to make HIM into the victim at the end. He was definitely a user who got successful off the backs of women.
FACTS 💯
@@obdianebut he also made sure those women were straight afterwards. he gave melinda $10 million & the house back. he bought diana a plane, a yacht, a ring , two wedding dresses bc melinda ruined the first one. & married her & traveled the world with her.
& Robert was STILL a user, STILL unemployed af while chasing his dreams & had a wife that believed in him, STILL lazy barely helping around the house & STILL a cheater. He CHOOSE to be that type of person so he is part to blame
@@tiaraw872 he wasnt a user. a user would drain you & give you nothing in return. those women got “used” and were WELL taken care of in the end.
“You coulda bought him a scooter” 😂 nah fr. Bro woulda got a hoverboard at best. I’d even get the one with the color changing lights.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
I think part of the reason why Melinda's rage was so intense is because she refused to acknowledge & accept her part in maintaining the toxic relationship/marriage with Robert the User.
Also the fact that the girl he cheated with got the life he promised her
Robert played the victim until the very end. And Melinda tried gave everything and he used her drained her dry. I don’t think people quite understand the mental turmoil that puts smb through. But honestly this is just a cautionary tale don’t sacrifice nor give money to a man let alone a person period who invests nothing into you only asks begs & guilts you like Robert did. Any man that always have a sob story & never contributes as a provider on the frontend & backend be wary. Dont ride or die. For anybody. I don’t care the circumstances. Melinda is the classic case of Barbara the builder. Any time you build a man you building him for another broad. This is always how Barbara’s story goes, moral of the story is
Don’t be Barbara the builder I can fix it head ahh😭✋🏽learn to stop ladies.
So are we holding Melinda accountable for anything?
@@Buk718yes she needs to be held accountable for not getting of him sooner but she made the mistake of marrying him and atp they’re both responsible especially him at 18 no job, living off her expenses to pay for your battery and the moment you hit you marry the girl who basically said the exact same thing you said to me?? Just more open to you because of the fact you on your wife with me.
@@_tia.no.tamera Yea she made countless bad decisions. There’s really nobody else to blame. When you put others before yourself, don’t get mad with the repercussions.
But i would also love to see this movie again from his POV.
@@Buk718 so me calling her Barbara the builder, calling the story a cautionary tale and saying her actions of giving to a man who gave her nothing is not me holding her accountable bffr. Yall odd and apparently can’t comprehend what I just stated. Any way carry on.
Robert played victim he was a user and Melinda was a I can fix it a builder. And Robert built his happiness on top of neck. That’s what happens when you be Barbara the builder. She thought they was building together as she was the only one invested as he did nothing. Being a ride or die is a death note you write for yourself. If you as a woman decide you gon be a builder they will stand & stomp on top of your neck as you have built. You built it. Ladies have to stop being Barbara the builder. That’s how you get taken advantage & for granted. Men are naturally selfish esp if you let them be by not speaking up for yourself nor do you hold them accountable & require them to be generous to you. It should be apart of your standard. Work on yourself only. Focus on you as a young woman you shouldn’t be building no grown man. That’s backwards.
Women will stay with a man who is whooping their asses like they are misbehaving children, so the fact that she stayed with a man who cheated on her is very believable. When you think you are in love with someone, you will forgive almost anything.
MAYBE SHE TRULYVLOVED HIM. The bible say lover is kind ,patient, forgiving , etc. When one falls in love, one is highly invested. 😊
This movie is so complex, it’s like the first half of their life together he was all bad, cheating on her after she bought a car for you dude? But the second half is all her being in the wrong, she should’ve walked away and work on self, you can’t force people to love you or be with you. She literally lost her life trying to get him back, she loved him more than herself.
She should have happily taken the money. He was a user who got successful off the backs of women. (and they both were too infatuated). Sure, he had a dream, but he wouldn't have achieved any of it without Melinda (at the beginning ) or Diana(at the end). He married Melinda because she could help his goal (financially). And, married Diana because she had business connections (plus took him in when he was homeless). So, IMO even if Melinda had not divorced him, he would have left her for Diana. He didn't love either woman he loved himself, his goals, and whoever helped him with his comeup.
THANK YOU! Somebody wit some sense cus how is this hard to understand.
but he also paid both of those women back. diana literally got a multimillionaire husband & was spoiled to death just because she mentioned something to her boss. & melinda got $10 million
@@amiyahnishae_ But, he wouldn't have the money without them. They both helped him get it. Melinda did it for 18 years (in every way possible), and when she threw him out, Diana took him in and kept promoting him to her boss. That's the problem, both women acted like he was the prize when in reality he wouldn't have been successful without them.
@@obdiane because essentially, he was. both women literally got 10x more than what they put in. ESPECIALLY diana. i mean imagine mentioning something to your boss & ending up with a husband who has $300 million in the bank & spending millions on you.
@@amiyahnishae_ Yeah, he was spending money on her, but they had just gotten married. You don't know how he would have been with Diana, later. Look at the type of husband he was with Melinda. Plus, I feel he was only keeping Diana around to help him manage and maneuver him through the business side of things.
They both left so much unsaid. He should’ve explained he wasn’t cheating which is why she wanted a divorce. She should’ve told him he needed to get some type of job and worked on that battery part time. Then she should’ve followed her mind and not listened to her sisters if she really wanted to stay with him.
She didn't want to listen to him that he didn't cheat. At that point, she was already fed up with him after years of resentment. There was no reasoning with her. She divorced him and threw him out into the street, like a worthless piece of trash. He tried to save their marriage, but she completely gave up. There was no coming back from that.
She did tell him that he needed to get a job but he didn't. Lol
Even if Mel hadn't divorced him, I guarantee he would've cheated on her with ole girl again. Why? Because she now had money, status & connections that he could suck dry
@@JMac7395he didn’t suck either of them dry tho. he gave melinda $10 million & house. he bought diana a yacht, plane, penthouse in the sky, ring, two wedding dresses like come on. & he made sure he & dianas relationship was completely platonic when he went to ask her for help with the battery
@JMac7395 Just because of one cheating incident when he was still a horny teenager, you guys just decided to blacklist him forever. He had his flaws, but he wasn't a bad person like you guys tried to paint him. If she wasn't going to ever get over that one moment of weakness from him, then she shouldn't have taken him back. He was a dreamer, who's dream eventually became a reality. The moment she gave up on him and tossed him out on the street like a piece of trash, there was no coming back from that.
Taraji character was supportive she was literally SUPPORTING this nlgga the whole movie until she couldn't no more. She better than alot of us cus 18 years of somebody telling u they gon do sum but have no results is ridiculous. Of course that other woman look like the good guy cus she know that man was bout to be filthy rich so duh she gon play that role. She got the man taraji built from the ground up 💀
I feel her and totally understand her. But she has to take some blame in that. He basically used her for the money and she knew it and let him. He cheated and she took him back and he wasn’t helping her throughout those years. So when it all came down and she left him and he got with the woman he cheated with in college, of course she’s gonna think he still been messing around with her and felt played that’s why she went out the deep end. If it was anyone else, she probably wouldn’t had went bat shit crazy. Her sisters was too involved in her marriage also
All though I feel her she took little to no accountability for this awful relationship, I know we all have been in or seen this type of relationship and eventually you have to let it go. Married or not...
This movie was insane, how did she get back on that boat? How was she dry? 🤔
She was a little wet 😂 they probably sprayed some water on her fr
Now that I’m older, and I rewatch the movie now as a 20 year old, listening to how Melinda stone were changed while she was telling the story to the therapist. I feel like she did honestly know that she really needed to control her anger and she might have felt regretful on how she handled things and scared of what she could possibly be capable of if her anger were to get out of control, because she said her self in the movie that when she gets this way, it takes her to a really dark place that scares her. But again, after re-telling this entire story, her anger took over again, and her pride got in the way, like I mentioned, I felt like the way how how her tone was to be softer and more regretful of her actions, but the anger came back when she finally told her story from start to finish, probably for the first time in her entire life.
Melinda kept taking what people were saying as, “ you’re telling me I don’t have the right to be angry”. She had the right to be angry entirely, and after hearing the story from start to finish, it’s understandable why she was so angry what the problem was is that she was letting her anger lead to her detriment.
Ive never watched a movie that had me as pissed as this the whole time. Stress aint even the word
I feel like a lot of yall are trying to minimize the cheating as if it doesn’t matter at all just because he never did it again. The way he disappeared after she got him the car, didn’t call/talk to her, and then the way he picked up that phone when they finally talked? Even his sorry ass apology afterwards lets you know what kind of person he is, everything out of his mouth was an empty promise at that point. If he couldn’t stay faithful and she literally tried to kill him, they both had no reason to stay in the relationship (unless it was to continue using her)
I think it’s honestly unrealistic for a man who acts like this to ever actually repay you lol. That’s not to say there aren’t people worth supporting, but I get the impression that he learned/changed over time and was definitely a user in the beginning. And that makes a lot more sense to me than Melinda going from good to bad, and Robert gets to just be the hero the whole time for literally sucking her dry because he…believed in himself? And made promises he had no means to fulfill?? People like that want points for having the intention to do things they can’t actually do and it’s weird.
Living off a woman working 2 jobs, allowing her to pay for college and a car, and not attempting to lift a finger at any point is not aspirational. This idea that women don’t want to be ride or dies or don’t want to build with men who aren’t well off should not apply to you using her for every resource she has and giving nothing back. You’re using her and expecting the promise of something to be enough. You can receive support without someone completely supporting you financially. Just like you shouldn’t be in her position, no one should be comfortable in his.
This is a roller coaster. But ultimately I understand her anger bc by the time he got his life together, he had wasted most of hers in several ways. Put her through a lot and even though she made some dumb decisions, she did it for him bc she loved him. That chick he ended up with did him good in the end, but she would’ve NEVER held it down the way Malinda did. Tbh if I were him, I would’ve given her time to re-think things once I left that office. She has every right to be what some would call “shallow” in that moment bc she waited so long for things to take off for him.
Not gone lie you have some of the best reactions on UA-cam 😂.. keep up the good work man it is appreciated
I appreciate you bro that’s love, more videos coming soon.. stay tuned💪🏽
"I can be the mother-blanking devil." To be honest, she showed him exactly who she was the day they first met when they bumped into each other. The woman had deep-seated mental issues long before she met him. That's why she kept making all of those decisions to stay with him, even though, at the time, he wasn't making any progress and showing her all the reasons she should have left. There were many things not working in her mind that fueled the acrimony. It's true that she genuinely fell in love and gave all of herself and then some to help support him, but at the end of the day, she caused much of her pain and grief because she allowed her emotions to control her and wound up ruining her life. She made the decision to ram her truck into his trailer when he first cheated on her and, consequently, made it so that she could never have children. Then, she made the decision to get back together with him. You can give people a second chance, but if they don't improve and show you change after the second time, then can you really blame anyone else but yourself? This movie is interesting because it allows you to see both sides with ample context. I felt for her because, to her credit, she allowed herself to be vulnerable and stood by her man's side against all the odds. However, her mental state was in shambles long before it all began.
Long post, I know. Great reaction. That's why I come to your channel because I know I'm always going to be laughing whenever you do a reaction to these movies.
They could never make me hate you MELINDA 😭😭😭 it’s really tragic that he sold her a dream & she bought it.
Crazy part is he gave the other lady the same EXACT things he promised Melinda… Didn’t switch it up or anything & I think that’s what really hurt her after 18 years of supporting him 😭
Neverrrrr😭
No, how the hell did she get onto the boat in the middle of the ocean. How did she find them... and if she snuck on before they departed, she waited to be theatrical instead racking up stealth kills.
All the right questions we need answered!😂😂😂😂😂
I don’t care, everyone was wrong in their own way.
My God the sisters were wayyyy too damn involved in Mel’s love life. They need to put that energy into their own marriages. You never give anybody the key in your relationship, family or not.
Robert, he did his best. However, he should’ve contributed more. She was cashing out money left and right, he needed to have a steady job while perfecting his prototype.
Mel should NOT have listened to her bitter sisters. Once she told them he cheated on her when they were younger, they automatically saw him in that light. This is why relationship details should remain confidential between you and your partner, especially if you’re willing to take them back. Mel worked hard and kept them afloat, and I applaud her for that. If only she didn’t listen to her sisters and was a bit more patient (also effective communicated instead of yelling or nagging). Her sisters influenced every decision she made and she never acted as an individual woman. That was ultimately her downfall.
This is what I’ve been saying. Robert wasn’t perfect but the reason everything went left is because she didn’t trust him. Instead of trusting him she let her bitter sisters egg her on. He cheated in the past but was faithful the remainder of their relationship! Even in the end he still gave her 10 million and her mother’s house back. She didn’t even care about that she wanted to be with him and have everything he promised her.
@@destinyn63perfect? I'm sorry but he needed a job
@@tommyg8493 and he got a job working for her sisters business. Was it long overdue? Yes, but he was making an effort. He only lost it because he finally had an opportunity to make his dreams come true.
@@tommyg8493 👏🏻
Understand that she choose to stay with this man for 18 years. It’s not like they had a child together. If she was so unhappy she could’ve divorced much sooner.
she should’ve never dropped her money on him and he could’ve had whatever jobs along the way to bring in a little change . In conclusion, they were both wrong and needed professional help 💀
She was more wrong in the end u don d all that crazy stuff she left u canthaveur cake and eat it too
This movie was sad in all aspects and both of them were to blame. He took all the advantage of her that he could and payed for it. Mel was crazy before she met him but he woke up a sleeping dragon. She wouldn’t have been such otherwise. She gave up literally everything for this guy. At some point it wasn’t even about the money anymore when he cheated on her earlier, but her anger and rage towards the situation caused her own injury and not being able to have children. She stayed with him although she knew he had his own agenda. When he got rich and bought her mother’s house back that he helped her to lose, and gave her all that money he owed her and then some it wasn’t enough. She loved him with everything in her and I think he loved her too, but he was selfish in their relationship at first and then some other woman started reaping the benefits of her pain. That poor woman had no idea what she got herself into. Me personally I would not have gone that far and I would have taken everything he gave me and his apology and paid for lots of therapy and kept it moving. She committed murder and ended up dead herself because she was already crazy.
I wouldn't take the money though, he's giving it to try and clear his conscience but he can't make up for what he did. Money doesn't buy character
@Favouredz Girl WHAT??? So you just gon' be BROKE? Couldn't be me (or any smart woman for that matter). Sometimes I feel like a lot of black women are dedicated to poverty and struggle. Give ME the check then lol
@@Favouredz thats dumb asf. he gave her that money after she rightfully divorced him. there was no other way for him to “pay back what he did” as they had been divorced for months & separated even longer. she was literally pushing 40 living with her sister.
Her sister said that Melinda was that way since she was younger.
They should make another from his POV😩 that would be soooo good!!
I would love that
That would be fire
Facts!
I mean he was working on the battery
for whole 20 years people act like he
was just laid up eating chips
I feel like there’s two lessons from this movie, know your worth and never give up on your dreams. And also hating on slk for his opinion is crazy.
Yes, but don’t make your spouse pay and suffer from your dreams
"you bout to die listening to Nina Simone??" Idk why this was so funny to me 😂
Cheating is anything that your partner is not involved in. He was always in love with the battery, not her.
Lol he cheated with a battery😂
This movie was so unserious and shot in like 8 days, AND IT SHOWS. Thank you for the jokes, this review was hilarious 😂
Loved this review! This movie pissed me off! Idk as a woman I hate the way she was done. He literally gave her dream life to someone else that just randomly stepped in. BUT if u ask me, I think that Diana left her wallet in his car on purpose bc she knew Melinda’s temper
SL finally learned a new word and decided to use it as his title, proud of him.
Okay really!?
And I also think If he wanted her which it showed he didn’t. He should’ve started all the way back to step 1 regaining her trust, rebuilding the love and giving her those promises he made. Getting her house back and giving her money was more than enough but her heart and feelings too involved
She was to greedy and wanted more.
@@thatonkgau5221 I agree with that also. He was greedy too before getting rich so she probably was like I want all he got
@@adondrebrown3646 He was greedy? Robert didn't ask Melinda to give him all that money, she was recklessly giving it away to him
@@thatonkgau5221 he didn’t but he knew she had it. Everytime something came up finically who he went to crying? Melinda! She did it cause she loved him. Like anyone who would see someone they loved struggling financially they’ll give it
@@adondrebrown3646 Ok paying for the semester that's one thing but buying him a freaking car is ridiculous. She should've just let him take the bus and invested that money.
I think she was even more upset that he didn’t even put up that much of a fight for their marriage. She still loved him and he didn’t even call her after she lost her mom’s house. You put all your time into a marriage that he didn’t contribute to I would be pissed too. But at the end of the day she shouldn’t have married him in the first place. He unfaithful from the beginning and he never was financially stable. He pretty much showed him who he was. He was never a good partner but she has to take accountability too.
Both of em had major issues. They both loved each other but he was a sorry husband who mind was too focused on the dream instead of the daily burden he put on his wife. And she was too mentally unstable to keep how she felt in for all those years
10 Million Is More Than Enough Of An Apology 💯💯💯
Money doesn’t buy happiness she wanted him to love her and just help her out and for 18 years he couldn’t try to do it. Completed didn’t care what she wanted at all. Gave her zero affection and she just stuck it through. He walks away with his dream and thinks money is just going to fix it all. She wanted to live the life he promised and if he truly loved her after he got his dream he would’ve tried to get her back and make that happen
So did we forget 1. She divorced him and kicked him out (about 10 years too late but I digress) 2. She got $10 million dollars and the crib back which she could have used to still have that life WITHOUT the man who did all those things to her and folded all of it because of her own instability emotionally. 3. Even before he gave her the $10 million, she said “We never getting back together” why on Earth would he try to go back beyond that. Plus his new woman was speaking life into that man and he liked that so it was easier for him to move on
I remember I worked at a Movie Theater when this movie came out. I watched a pre-screening for employees and I was the only one there and I FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS MOVIE. I worked the Sunday morning it released and I helped an older black lady to find the Theater # and she was one of 5 people. It was slow enough that I wanted to walk her out too and CHILD, SHE WAS CONFUSES, CRYING AND STUNNED. We walked extra slow, talked about the movie and we loved that we couldn't pick a side. This movie was a theatrical flop, but I will cherish that memory forever 💜
I was waiting for you to watch this...Ha! This is a movie that causes arguments in my household! You are either on her side or his and I am always on his side! She had to accept her part in this too. Especially in the beginning. He could have helped her more but she could have left when she kept seeing that he was not doing anything productive with his life. I don't care how much you love somebody, if they are not willing to help you and you feel like you are in it alone...than baby YOU CAN DO BAD ALL BY YOURSELF!
😂😂😂 this movie and the number one question, how did she get back on the boat???
Thank you!!! 😂😂😂
Part 2 will show that
If you didn't see Malinda as the problem, I have to say that you are being biased and probably a problem yourself. The therapist diagnosed her B.P.D, in which we saw her become someone else when upset. That man didn't want to divorce her, and yes, he was getting money and other things from her, but guess what she could've said NO, but she didn't. He had to move on, and she did too, but it wasn't until she saw that other woman get the things she was promised in their marriage that made her feel disrespected.
Still doesn’t mean she deserved what he did to her. They both were at fault and are both equally to blame.
@@KeelaHughes.to be fair Robert gave her 10X the money she spent on him throughout the years, and yes they both fucked up but Melinda signed up for that and she stayed when she knew he wasn’t no good, Robert didn’t necessarily have the support that he needed from Melinda either, but he still should have been upfront with her. At the end of the day regardless Melinda made the choice to get a divorce so she shouldn’t feel entitled to get back at him or to sabotage his relationship, he gave her a chance to try again she didn’t want it, he moved on and got happy. The end
@@KeelaHughes.he was working the all time he just wasn’t getting paid for working on the battery
Great reaction, funny as usual! I haven't wavered since the first time I watched this movie...
Robert was wrong AF up until he pulled up to her job and MADE HER FINANCIALLY WHOLE! Money she spent on him 10 fold? ✔ Bought her mama's house back? ✔Melinda became the villain the moment she didn't take the final L of him officially moving on with Diana at that condo. Plus, all the stuff Rob kept promising Mel was for MRS GAYLE...lol she was the Mrs until she divorced him and he married someone else. **Kanye shrug**
After all these years, I'm convinced that the people that DON'T think Melinda was out of control in the end are the kind that cheat back and stay in ridiculous relationships way past their expiration dates, and have the audacity to get mad when the other person moves on.
Honestly it’s different ways to look at this movie. I really understood why she was mad. You stay with a man and basically pay for his dreams for 20 years and NOTHING come from it. No money, no children, nothing. You sacrificed time and thousands of dollars on a dream that didn’t even pan out. So you’re already at your wits end, then you find out he maybe cheated which honestly was just the straw that broke the camels back. JUST for him to finally get the dream that you technically paid for and him give the bearings of that to another woman. My thing is why didn’t he come back after his battery hit on some “baby my battery hit and now all our dreams can be a reality” . Forget the money you finally get the life you promised her then give it to another women. I honestly woulda been mad too. Not enough to murder someone but I definitely understood the anger.
She got $10 million dollars and the crib and only gave up $1.2 million and 20 years of life and still chose crazy and deranged over buying her new life. Shit she could have bought a crib in LA and found her another dude with the same income to sail off with…. She was tooo attached to a man and not herself. To answer your question”why didnt he come back and say baby we up”….. she divorced him, kicked him out and got with another dude. Why would he come back ever? Before she got handed that $10 million, she looked at him and said “we are never getting back together”. Its over and she was incapable of handling that fact because HE was up and moved on. With $10 M’s she started torturing herself always watching their lives on social media and stalking and sabotaging instead of building her life up.
@@Mr301ENTThis is where her mental illness she truly exhibited before they officially met comes in to play. But I see both sides (he moving on & her going crazy)
The way you fake jumped off the boat 😭🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I remember my sister showed me this and I was so shocked like this girl is crazy but they were playing a lot of Nina Simone which is someone I listen but it makes since to play her because of how her songs give a theme
Nina Simone was also a pianist and activist but she wasn't accepted into a school because was black.
Yes he did her wrong asf but some of the stuff she did was just too far I don’t blame her for thinking he cheated again because how would it look if you marrying the person who you cheated on your partner with
“ *shows ring* Is that a ring pop?” That sent me 😂. I absolutely adore this film. It's really relatable and portrays what happens when women are mistreated. The film teaches perseverance, believing and supporting one another in love, and that when you say forever, you must stay to it. With Acrimony, writer-director Tyler Perry creates a surprisingly subtle thriller. The cinematography, storyline, and story are all excellent, allowing the actors to shine and provide memorable performances. In my opinion, Acrimony is one of Tyler Perry's best films. The film depicts real-life issues that most grown individuals who are married face. Plus, a life lesson for the typical pair.This film appeals to me since it depicts the couple's troubles as well as their respective points of view. Taraji P. Henson's performance was excellent as always, and the plot was well-written. Taraji P. Henson played the frustrated wife who felt it was time to strike back. Going into the cinema, I assumed this would be another romantic love story gone wrong. However, this film proved me incorrect. I wholeheartedly recommend seeing this film.
The moral of this story was supposed to be that being bitter isn't healthy. The man was trying to do better but because she was so filled with rage, she couldn't see that. So that's why it ended the way it did.
If she didn’t see him “trying” she wouldn’t have stayed for 20 years.
Also Melinda had mental health issues that went unchecked esp by the family. They should have been got her help esp after that car wreck. But instead they let that using ahh boy talk to her which was him lying & manipulating her more instead. If it was my sister she would have got help not her speaking to that man who triggered her mental issues from get go. They knew sis was not the one. And was not sane, but they let her trigger enter her life once more.
Definitely agree because the way she start keeping pictures of that lady and writing stuff on her pictures
Please take mental health seriously in the black community. Melinda was a loose cannon waiting to be triggered. And she happened to encounter the one person who was willing & able to trigger her madness. You can’t just use people to no end esp
Not a sane Person. People kill for less that’s why you have to be careful what you do.
Damn this movie is so complex because it’s not black and white. I feel like the at the end of it he has a lot of blame in this. He cheated on her after she bought him a car, he took from her for decades and let her work 2 jobs to support him. He didn’t care for her emotionally which really was all she wanted. He put his battery over his wife every time, while she’s crying thinking that he cheated on her (again) with the woman from college instead of explaining real quick and asking her to come with him, he runs off. And then after they separated he quickly gets remarried to the woman she thought he cheated on her with. Like how does that look? And when she asked for a divorce he didn’t fight for the relationship either. I’m sure if he would’ve showed that he genuinely cared and wanted to try she would’ve folded but he easily let go confronting all her thoughts. Mel was too naive and attached herself to him because he was around when her mother died and made her feel safe and she couldn’t lose that. She gave all of herself to him, all of her emotional support and financial support. But her reactions were her downfall. Sometimes in life you have to take the L. She should’ve taken the money gotten into therapy and tried to move on. Her anger around made her react in a way that had irreversible consequences, but she didn’t learn that lesson. I feel bad for her truly because when you invest so much in someone emotionally it’s hard to let go, but instead of her sisters being so uptight they should’ve been there for her to watch her mental health because she needed that support. No one ever gave her the support she needed even though she had a family and a husband and it’s sad. And It wasn’t about the money, she wanted to come back when he had the money because she knew that he would finally be able to focus on her and they could be happy. She never cared if he had money which is why the 10 million didn’t mean anything to her, it was the emotional investment that she could never recoup that she was stuck on.
He cheated in college though and they were together for 18 years after that so for her to let her sisters get in her head especially with all her sisters had going on was on her especially when all she had was an accusation. Yeah he could’ve did more no denying that but for the cheating accusation to be the deal breaker and for you to want him back after he begged for you to not leave him over an accusation you cannot go back and expect everything good especially when he ain’t have to do nothing else for you after that yet he went out of his way to give you somethinf
“Melinda Backsworth”😭😭
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I thought this was gonna turn into a voodoo movie. She was gonna summon the power of Damballa. lmao
I'm suspicious of where Diana got the money to give to Robert. It's true that companies buy different technologies, but they usually target technology that is current or has future potential. Robert's technology is 20ish years old & he's never successfully got it to work. It would be inefficient for a company to waste money on outdated tech. I think Diana either loaned that large amount of money or pulled it from her own pocket. Since Robert loves spending, not making money, it wouldn't be long before he burned through the money Diana gave him & started working through her bank accounts
The tech wasn’t old. It didn’t exist yet. It was revolutionary and it was a multi million dollar deal. Diana didn’t have that kind of money 😂
@SummerSolstice621 Robert was trying to replicate something that already existed. Therefore, the technology was old.
The battery did work they just wouldn’t meet with him to discuss a deal.
He was definitely a bad husband BUT what I didn’t agree with is how she listened to her sisters . She made it very clear they would never get back together and even joked on his suit saying he must have rented it. Then when he gave her that check all of sudden she wanna show up to his house in that trench coat . Lol no mam!
I’ve fell in love with these reactions…. Thanks SLK

crazy movie. I feel for melinda. Being with someone for all those years. day in and day out can really take a toll on you. Robert struggling to make his dream come true. breakthrough happens. How did it come to this?
Yall keep saying she should just take the 10mill n move on .. BUT yall forgetting she never cared about the money! She proved that in the beginning of the movie . When she had it all she gave it to him because she loved him nd he loved her .. he promised her always and forever… she stayed with him because of love people.. she divorced him bc she truly thought he cheated on her nd do t blame her bc he didn’t really convinced her that he didn’t.. the only reason she really left is bc she thought he didn’t love her…. All she wanted was him tbh💯.
he was using her for her money and she wanted revange becuse he did her dirty
Even though he gave her 10 million and her mama house that’s dosen’t take back those 18 years of her life wasted she could’ve had kids a bigger house she could’ve had it all but she spent most of her life support him he owe her those 18 years back but that’s not an excuse to sneak on a boat and try to kill him but it’s sad how she went it she went it mad and bitter and not happy with herself
Yes SL,I needed this. Today I got the day off due to a snowstorm in my city
Same! Stay safe!
@@packnetadaija u do the same
Hopefully you enjoyed!♥️
I’m pissed off at the fact that dude gave her the deed to her moms house and a check for ten mill for her to have fun with and she still not happy,that’s a big victory if ever seen one
He got engaged too quickly
You’re right SLK she should have left him when he cheated….I mean she had to get most of her reproductive organs removed because of him! It’s not that much love in the world!!
I see both sides and I believe he genuinely loved her but to be fair, even though he paid her back monetarily it wasn’t enough. She was looking for the same amount of love, patience, and faith that she had put into him for over 18 years. When she asked for the divorce he gave up and signed those paper’s pretty quickly. She wanted him to put the same time and effort into fighting for her and the marriage as she did for their relationship and his dream all those years. And think about it… he didn’t just move on with any woman. He moved on and gave her life to the woman he cheated on her with. That makes it 10 times worse. It pours salt in the wound. She was thinking as soon as we divorce, you get a job? But you wouldn't get one and help with our bills. I say I want a divorce out of anger and you sign the papers without much of a fight at all. Then you give everything you promised me to my arch nemesis. I'm not saying I agree with her recourse but I do understand why she snapped. 🤷🏽♀️
Some people feel like she left her wallet behind on purpose. In the beginning Melinda had the right to be upset. After she divorced him& he gave her the money and purchased her mother’s house I feel like she should have gone on about her way. Also, she should have kept her sisters out of their marriage then things would have been different.
Ladies never listen to your bitter friends or family members. Melinda clearly still loved him but she was listening to her sisters and went through with a divorce. Her dreams would’ve came true if she was more patient and trusted her husband!
THIS!!! they don’t even have to be bitter just from the outside looking in & most of us tend to only tell what the other person did wrong
He also wasn't shit though. He was just taking and taking and taking and had to be confronted to do the bare minimum of getting a job to help out with bills. Also she should have dumped him for cheating and not ran into rv. She stayed with him out of obligation because she felt no other man would want her since she couldn't have kids. She clearly had some kind of BPD ND was trauma bonded to him
And dudes NEVER cheat
Especially if your girl helping you.
@@crispri3919agreed. While I do agree to be mindful of outside whispers, if you're showed evidence time and time again then you can't wait around for the one miracle to make up for everything that person did to hurt you
She shouldn’t have ever married him actually
I've watched this movie multiple times lol i agreed with Melinda when i first saw it, after watching it again i believe once he oaid her she should have left him alone. But I've always felt like Diana fell in love with robert after watching those battery tapes and i fewl like she left that wallet in his truck on purpose. I feel like Diana was the puppet master and the villain of the story 😂😂😂
Finally. I’ve been waiting on this one 🙂💜
Hopefully you enjoyed💜
SL I Jus wanna say I really love your channel it’s really amazing you are really talented and I’m gonna continue to support much love 💕
Love, I appreciate the support..♥️ stay tuned more videos otw!
It’s the emotional and mental damage. So I understand her side but I wouldn’t go this crazy. I would’ve been happy asf 😂😂
New subscriber here but I was searching thru your videos for this one lol! It’s like you read my mind !
She should've put herself first no matter what.
Not Lucious I’m screaming 😂😂
I just find it crazy you still haven’t reacted to Tyler Perry’s “ I CAN DO BAD ALL BY MYSELF” !!! That movie broooo 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Robert was a con man since he was young.
Melinda was a naive girl who wanted love so much she sacrificed a lot due to Robert’s constant guilt tripping which is manipulation. He used Melinda the entire time. While Melinda thought they loved each other & it was for love. Robert was wrong. End of story. And Melinda continued on her path to her demise caused by a manipulative man.
This exactly, cheated on her while milking her money for his selfish gains, she was so young and in love she couldnt grasp what was going on nor could she regulate and communicate her thoughts and feelings he was more experienced then her and probably bc of her mental health issue, made her act out and lose her ovaries!!!The emotional manipulation gaslighting emotional ABUSE, Caused trauma and shaped her to what she became…its unfair she has blame ofcourse but we have to look at the root, And robert even manipulated the Viewers hahahahaha ghaaaleee this movie pissed me off all over again.
And she was grieving her mom so it was even more easy to take advantage of her
You know it would be so fire to do this whole movie over from his POV. Because i don’t agree with that.
Also just because someone is willing to give dont take advantage thats wrong. And if you find yourself investing into a person and they just take & give nothing back. Stop immediately. That’s not your person. Don’t enable users don’t be a victim. Love isn’t pain nor sacrifice esp if it’s at the expense of you. And you are left in pain. If you find yourself in pain leave.
Robert was far from the perfect husband, he was selfish and self absorbed and wasn't contributing enough to his marriage. But he did love Melissa and he tried to make things right with her by buying her back her mother's house and giving her a million dollars to repay for all the years she spent supporting him. So i dont hate him or see him as the real bad guy just a flawed man.
Melissa she was to inpatient with him and greedy. If she stopped listening to her Bitter sisters and been more patient with him, she would've gotten everything Robert promised her. But she wasn't and for all her talks about hating Robert and calling him a con man she still kept taking him back after he cheated and giving him money him money when she didn't have to. As you mentioned Melinda didn't have to buy him that expensive car she couldve just bought him a truck or scooter. If she had just accepted and been happy with Roberts original offer none of this would've happened.
I think she was more than patient. And I don’t think she was greedy just resentful that she put in so much time so much money so much support and gene he finally gets it together after being the one to build him up she can’t take part in it. She definitely should one have listened to her sisters if she still loved him, but she should’ve left earlier because he was taking so much out of her.
Mel wasn't greedy, she was patient and hopeful and above all supportive until too much weighed down on her psyche including her sisters involvement.
They were too judgmental, probably connected to their mother's death and took it upon themselves to protect Mel in her stead.
Robert did love her, too damned determined for his own good though. lol
If Mel could just move on and use the money to build a better life without Robert or at least didn't give him too cold a shoulder (she had every reason too) things could've worked out.
Enough? He didn't contribute AT ALL.
@@consoledollz1688 Okay yeah Robert didn't contribute anything to the relationship. He ain't perfect, he's no innocent Saint but at least he owns up to his actions and tries to make it right. Melinda doesn't own up to anything, she doesn't take responsibility for the reckless decisions she made. Such as taking him back after he cheated and KEPT GIVING HIM SO MUCH MONEY.
I understand Melinda to a degree she went through the paint with the con man (can’t rmb his name) literally and willingly. In Melinda eyes ole girl literally won (a kid, marriage and money) and didn’t go through the rough years of struggling and being delusional for a selfish man. He was trifling, she was psychotic.
This movie stresses me out. Though I agree that Melinda was stupid in many of the decisions she made concerning Robert, I whole heartedly believe that Robert is a bad person. He was using her, he was taking advantage of her kindness and love during every part of their relationship. He was selfish, he did not care that he screwed every one over to get what he wanted. He sat there with a smile on his face when she agreed to mortgage the house. Like, is she stupid. Yes. And should she have left him sooner. Absolutely. But I understand her anger when she was the one financially supporting him on the promise that the both of them together would reap the benefits of his dream. Not just the money, but the lifestyle. Cuz at the end of it all, for some reason, she loved him, and wanted to have those things TOGETHER, she and him. It is evident during her spiral, that she did not care about the money. The money did not fix what she sacrificed, what she endured for him, and it wasn't what she really wanted anyway. She wanted the stability and a decent life with her husband which is what he promised her. The only reason she divorced him was because she believed he was cheating on her again. So to see another woman, the very woman he cheated on her with in the past, get the ring she was promised, the house she was promised, everything she was promised, on top of having a baby she could never have, pushed her all the way over the edge. In parts of the movie, I definitely see where Robert is coming from too cuz letting go of a dream you've been working on for nearly 2 decades is a lot and he was willing to do it. And for those saying the new woman encouraged Robert, Melinda did too, but she was carrying the whole marriage on her shoulders so it makes sense that she slowly started losing faith in him when he never showed her progress. She poured her everything into him with nothing in return while they were married so....idk. This movie makes my head hurt. It's a lot to think about in both Robert and Melinda's actions, but again, I definitely see why she's so angry since everything that was promised to her was given to another woman.
Edit: And thennnn now that I think about it, this movie tries to make the other woman into some sort of savior when she had different connects. Melinda had the money to support Robert and get the things he needed for the battery, but this new lady worked at the company so of course it was easier for her to get Robert's foot in the door. Melinda was there for Robert and literally built him from the ground up. With all that considered, it makes total sense to me how she would lose her mind. Especially when we remember she's not all the way there in the head anyway. So I further understand her point of view even though I don't agree with her decisions and how she handled her anger. She is partially responsible for this and unfortunately it was her downfall. In an ideal reality for her, she would've taken that 10 million and did something in life for herself. Take herself on trips. Get her own dream house, but she decided to live in her rage
my man's done jumped out of his seat when she done hit his rv that's crazy yo 😅
Robert was still a bad husband with or without money I would have taken my 10 mil and went to France found myself a Parisian silver fox husband and proudly left Robert alone with miss Diana. I feel like he treated Diana differently than Melinda. maybe thats because Diana seemed to be more supportive than Melinda.
Her trouble was she made her life all about this useless turd, she gave him all her power 💯💯
$800,000 is a terrible deal.
This movie still pisses me off lol all that for him to STILL end up with the woman he cheated with. Lol 😂 all she had to do was let it go, let her be the struggle love, waste HER time (I have a feeling she would’ve said nope and been out tho) etc., the not being able to have A child and the fact he paid her millions and was still given a chance to get her life back….still throws me off 🫨
For everybody saying he’s down bad but the 1st thing she said when his battery hit was they were never getting back together even after begging her not to divorce him.Her whole expression changed when he told her the battery hit then gives her the deeds to her moma crib + 10mill for the pain he she dealt with when niggas ain’t tryna give a bih biggie bag from Wendy’s lol
A biggie bag is insane 😂😂😂😂
Yooooo I seen this movie a couple times movie is wilddddddddd
So wilddd😮
Same
Melinda definitely had rights to br angry still even after he gave her the check etc. However Robert was more than generous giving back the money he took from hrr basically. It's 50/50 both were wrong and paid for it in the end. Let this be a lesson just take the money and move on.
She wouldn’t have felt his broke self down all that time like she did 😂that takes a strong woman
also check out Madea's Witness Protection😂
it's so funny😂
2:23 😂 slk always jamming to any song comes up
😭😭😭
I love the fact that the entire score is music by the late-great Nina Simone. The fact that she never wanted to become an entertainer or a singer. She originally wanted to become a classical concert pianist but the school she intended on attending either didn't pick her or didn't allow her to even audition because she was a woman of color. But that was a blessing in disguise because without Nina, music would've had a huge void within it.
What did the singer "Nina" represent?
They should’ve called this movie: Cause and Effect with no Accountability
This
That's a WAY better title!!!
Lmaaaooo all the “no ways” my reaction too like howww 😂😭
This movie is soo dark and I love it 😭 idk why but I do but he wasn’t shit for marrying the girl he cheated on her with I’ll stand by that 😂 Taraji should’ve been in jail already too (in the role)
Definitely made him look even more guilty marrying that girl I don’t blame her for thinking he cheated again
i think him marrying diana kind of proved thats who he always wanted. as soon as she bought the car he immediately stopped talking to her & started fucking diana. when he finally makes it big he immediately marries Diane & treats her like a damn queen. meanwhile him & melinda didnt even fuck for monthss.
LOVED YOUR REACTION AND COMMENTARY 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Nawl hands down thats cookie 😭she used to be Yvette to me until cookie came to be
