This scene makes me just so freaking mad ! All of those fools were just standing their not even calling the police or running over to try and catch those kids. idc if I dont know them I would have risked my life for them.
- I understand personally, but at the same time you can't blame the bystanders because they don't know the apartment complex and by the time they call or even run up for the children it would be too late... Second Phylicia could have rescued the children on the same floor since she's the landlord by opening the door with the keys or bust through the door harder.

This scene is very powerful. It shows how sick things can get when you tolerate abuse. Abused women tend to believe they can prevent or improve things by being kind enough, patient enough, understanding enough, never realizing they cannot change an abusive man, that staying escalates abuse. Sadly it took this horrifying event to shake her enough to get her out of the spiral.

Some people have psychotic breaks and are never the same for the rest of their life. So no, I refuse to live in a bubble where I condemn those I refuse to understand. I will say I found the scene a little unrealistic that not one person tried to catch the children. The odds there don’t quite make sense.
Michael Ealy played the living shit out of his antagonists. Like, he'll make you hate his characters so bad lol I never seen this movie before in my life but when I seen that part, I immediately cried.

Unfortunately this happen in real life. It was hard to watch. The one reason I liked Tyler Perry's movie was because they literally spoke/tugged at my heart. Really gave me something to think about. Really ministered to me.
Maya Angelou always said : “When people tell you who they are, believe them.” No one wakes up abusive and crazy out of the blue.... the signs are always there, and usually obvious. We all must do a better job and simply walking away from people the MOMENT our intuition tells us that something is wrong with them. And then realizing that it’s not your responsibility to “fix” them. Ladies, you can’t fix a crazy, abusive grown ass man.
@@WillieFordhamThem "telling you" is by the signs OP mentioned in their comments. I used to take it literally too but I think the meaning in this context is in a general/figurative sense (their behavior, actions, lifestyle, your intuition vs. what they say to (talk vs walk) ).
Just like the actor who played Mike on Why Did I Get Married and the actor who played Charles in Diary of A Mad Black Woman. They hate them for life. 😂😂
I remember seeing this in theaters and I’ll tell you the ENTIRE theatre gasped for air when we saw this scene. We all looked at each other as if it was not a movie, as if it was real!

+Orange Blossom I remember watching it when it first came out, when I was around 15/16 and loved the film. Made my family watch it too, it was wonderful.
@@ladennayoung2939 she says in the movie she’s the manager of the building. If I’m not mistaken she even opened someone else door. Been years since I’ve seen this movie but I believe she definitely mentioned being the manager.
I know right!! she unlocked thandie door when she got into a fight with her mom later in the movie I never understood that part I know everyone was in shock but I wish she would have unlocked ran to her apartment to unlock the door or call the cops
I can't believe that people still can't get over this scene even though 5 years have passed since this movie was released. I love Tyler Perry and this is an excellent movie, but this scene was so disturbing and horrific (the actors who played the kids, Thomas 'Deuce' Jessup and Jaycee Williams, were terrific, although I don't know how old they were when they were in the movie). However (and to put some of the minds at ease), I was watching a behind-the-scenes documentary on tv (which is not on the DVD, although I wish it was) about this movie and for this scene, the parents of these 2 beautiful kids were on the set and were really horrified and worried about Michael Ealy dropping them out of the window. At 1:56, this was a green screen effect (I could be wrong though). Tyler had the kids on harnesses and when Michael released them, they were actually swinging on the harnesses.
Skip Rope McGee Because then her and them would've died. She would've died from the momentum they built from the fall & they likely would have died before they even hit the ground.
To everyone griping about how no one tried to help catch those kids, lemme explain why that wouldn't work: 1. There was a spiked fence so no one would've been able to get directly under the window. 2. Even if the bystanders had the time to grab a bedsheet and gather everyone to hold that sheet taut, any weighty object falling over 3 stories would've torn through. There's specialized sheets for that but no one had access to that kind of thing. They would've needed to call the fire department the very second those kids were dangled out the window. 3. Just because we saw the kicked window screen landed outside of the fence doesn't mean the kids would've landed there. The window screen is hundreds of ounces lighter and has less mass than those kids. The air current created by the fall could've landed the window screen ANYWHERE. 4. While on the subject of mass/weight, let's talk about free falling. You've heard the saying "The heavier they are, the harder they fall, right? This is correct and it's based off of Newton's Law if Motion. The "heavier" is concerning weight, and the "harder they fall" bit is talking about impact force. A person that weighs 200lbs and falls six feet would hit the ground with the impact force of 10,000lbs. SIX FEET. LET THAT SINK IN. 5. With the above in mind, let's get into the numbers. The apartment window seems to be at a height of 50 feet. The daughter seems to be around 5 or 6 years old, and her brother seems to be around 3 or 4 years old. The average weight for a 3-year-old is 32lbs. The average weight for a 5-year-old is 40lbs. Using the average weight, if the 3-year-old falls from 50 feet, the fall velocity will be at 70mph. The impact force hitting the ground at that speed is 177.7kN (kilonewtons). Translated in English, the impact force would be equivalent to *39,928LBS.* *THAT'S 19.96 US TONS.* If the 5-year-old fell from 50 feet, the impact force would be *222kN.* English translation again? *THAT'S HITTING THE GROUND WITH 49,910LBS OR 24.96 TONS OF FORCE.* Yup. Ain't NOBODY catching those kids. I don't think I need to tell you how catastrophic it would've been to catch the children barehanded. You might as well let a Mack truck hit you head on in the freeway for it's pretty much the same thing. Your body isn't a trampoline and it would not have withstood those high impact forces. It's also likely that the kids would've died anyway with you catching them, for your body would crumple being hit with those forces and they'd STILL hit the ground.
Thank you for this information. I think the reason why this scene is so upsetting, is because the people were just stood watching, they wouldn’t have known that they’d die catching the babies. Did no one’s instinct tell them, to go save the children?
You’re correct; I watched the documentary called “The Bridge” about the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge suicides. When you described the velocity of falling from great distance, it’s the same speed from the bridge, except when you land in the water, it’s like hitting concrete.
She's partially to blame for not taking her kids out of that situation! If you want to stay in an abuse relationship, fine. But dont make your kids suffer because youre too weak to do anything!
Its easier said than done. Try to look at things from her point of view. Yeah she could have just left with the kids but he would probably catch her or find her after she escapes.
Alexis Plummer not if she moved to a completely different state. with him spending all of his money on booze, I don't think he would've had the resources to find them
This scene made me cry. I’m a elementary and middle school teacher so I have my share of good and bad kids. I don’t care how bad kids are, nobody deserves to die like this. I’m supposed to be a strong man, but this scene broke me down to a full out cry.
Real talk I have caught a child whose mother did this from a highrise & I caught this child in midair to break her fall & ended up feeling the pain afterwards... It was by the grace of God in me to save that child & I didn't get looked at as hero or nothing. I did it out of love for that child to live. Still I get treated like a disrespected wild animal from black women whether verbal or mental I'm used to it but I have peace & harmony in me now...
I'm glad they showed this scene in the movie because it's such a reality of how crazy and evil certain people are........................I hope someone can look at this movie who is going through a similar situation learn to get out
No its not just a movie if you do research you will see this has happened in several cases. That monster that threw his ex girlfriend out the window with his 3 month old. Then climbed down the fire excape to continue his vicious attack
this man is very heartless!!! he dropped the kids and just backed up out of the window, lord have mercy!!!!! why the hell did they have give Michael the damn role????!!! 😡😡😡
Those poor babies 😩💔 I cried watching this scene, i lost my son in 2019, ik how it feels to lose a child 😔 this scene is so heartbreaking hearing them scream and seeing them trying to hold on 🥺 and I just hate how everyone stood there and watched, they could’ve made a tight circle and tried to catch them 😒 and I’m not sayin it’s Crystal’s fault but once the abuse first began, she should’ve took the kids and left, anybody reading this who’s in a abusive relationship please end the relationship and LEAVE, it’s only gonna get worse if you stay with that person abusing you 💯
what really kills me the most about this movie is this scene im like so many people were outside they just stood there and didnt try to catch the babies like tf is wrong with them they just stood there like a fucking street light. Something could've been done
Michael Ealy was wild in this movie and Loretta Devine and Phylicia Rashad made this clip sooo sad the way they was screaming when he threw the babies out the window smh sad this shit happens in everyday real life tho😔
This was such an emotional part in the movie. It was very sad....On a second note, I'm like why does Kimberly Elise have to have such bad luck in these movies....This movie, Set It Off ( Her child was taken by the protective services and she was the first to get killed), and Diary of A Mad Black Woman (Bastard gonna drag her down those steps. Even after all his abuse, she went and took care of the guy...glad she rolled him in that water).
Oscar-worthy scene. Michael Ealy and Kimberly Elise..this entire cast. Phylicia Rashad. This entire scene gives me goosebumps still after almost a decade.
This scene didnt make sense to me.... a mother with her children in danger WOULD say anything to save them.... why was she not trying to convince him otherwise....tell him you'd marry tell him you visited the moon tell him anything he wants to hear until they're safe. I am not saying he would have changed his mind but for me, this scene has a lack of effort on her part
Man I was 23 when I saw this movie I haven't seen it since because this part immediately I had a slight heart attack in the movie theatre I had to drink water to calm my heart rate and blood pressure. This part still gives me chills.
This is my first time seeing this scene and it left me in tears. I thought i could handle it because I've seen a lot of disturbing shit but this really tore me apart into pieces even though this isnt real.
Ok so you mean to tell me that out of all the people there they couldn't crowd around under the children to make sure they would be safe if he let them go? This is so unrealistic...
when he was dangling those children over the balcony still asking would you marry me, she should have been like YES I'LL MARRY YOU to calm him down and then DIP with your kids to the police station!!!!!
He had PTSD from being in war. This scene was extremely powerful and worst stuff like this happens in real life. She should not have stayed in the abusive relationship knowing he was only getting worse. especially for the kids safety. Tuly devastating and unfortunate
While this part of the movie breaks my heart. No one seems to understand that Beau suffers from PTSD from the war. He doesn't get the help he needs and ends up totally abusive. He'll probably end up committing suicide in jail. It's hard to put the horrors of war behind you. Most veterans end up committing suicide because they know their head is messed up and they can't deal with the horrors they have seen or may have committed. Doesn't make what he did right. Just wanted people to understand where the abuse is coming from in this situation. She should have left him a long time ago.
This was the point in the film that my professor couldn't stomach. He legitimately paused it before they got dropped and asked to turn the lights on It's gut wrenching, brutal, and tears the heartstrings of old parents apart, those who would never dream of putting their child's life in jeaprody. It's something that the choreopoem only graces over in its brutality, we never read the derrangement of Beau to this extent or hear of what happens after, only the story of a woman who had her joy robbed because she thought she could mend a broken man. CINEMA.
Tyler perry I have no words this movie was powerful and I love every actress that played in 4colored girls I give this movie more than a billion stars the messages are so clear and if you don't like the movie don't want it so be it
This scene made me so damn mad. I mean literally know did anything to help help her. They stood their an watched the man throw his own children off the ledge. I was in tears.
The part where Phylicia Rashad told her that she had to accept responsibility really opened my eyes to something. At the time I thought it was a cruel thing to say being that she was sitting there suffering so badly. As a mother now I couldn't imagine. However now that I am a mother oh, I get it. And although I've been grateful to avoid any kind of abuse, I just hope that there were many women that got it too.
She didn’t deserve this but it was her fault. She shouldn’t have had her kids around that dangerous man. Father or not. Should’ve been a better mother.
Watched this in the theater when it first came out and everyone was bawling. Took me years to actually watch the movie again. Abusing relationships never end good for anyone involved once you stay but it’s hard getting out
You don’t tell these type on the spot that you not gonna do something. You move to a safe place first, then tell them and they get the message. Great actors in this movie
I remover being in 3rd grade watching this scene when my sister was doing my hair and I started screaming for her to turn it off...I’m 15 now and it still hurts to watch this
I HATED him on this fucking scene UGH!!!!!! She should have separated from him a LONG time ago!!!! It's part her fault too for not disassociating her and her kids away from him LONG BEFORE!!!!!!
It’s such a hard message to convey, but it’s completely necessary. You gotta boss you whatever way possible if your children’s lives are at danger... no more “I’m too scared to...” because it’s no longer about you when you bring children into a life like that.
i like the video because of the emotion and the realism that was portrayed in the film...the acting was amazing speaking from an actor's point of view. it touches your heart because it was a damn good scene. I'm writing a paper about why men act in such a manor to woman and this clip shows a part of why. Intimacy issues, anger, masculinity and furthermore.

thats what i was saying
me too are they slow or retarded to just stand there and watch ?
+Fred But besides that- that would be a person's first instinct- to try and get underneath them and catch them- regardless of consequence

+Orange Blossom I remember watching it when it first came out, when I was around 15/16 and loved the film. Made my family watch it too, it was wonderful.
The melodrama got terrible reviews because Tyler Perry is dramatic asf. But the actresses received critical acclaim.
Kylie Kaucher This is a misunderstood film
cause dumb ass old rich white ppl dont get it and be the ones reviewing it.
Did Phylicia forget she’s the property manager with a set of keys to their apartment?
Was she a manager or just a concerned neighbor? I thought she was just their neighbor.
@@ladennayoung2939 she says in the movie she’s the manager of the building. If I’m not mistaken she even opened someone else door. Been years since I’ve seen this movie but I believe she definitely mentioned being the manager.
@@KraXoomyep I just watched this again . She opened multiple people’s doors.
I know right!! she unlocked thandie door when she got into a fight with her mom later in the movie I never understood that part I know everyone was in shock but I wish she would have unlocked ran to her apartment to unlock the door or call the cops
I can't believe that people still can't get over this scene even though 5 years have passed since this movie was released. I love Tyler Perry and this is an excellent movie, but this scene was so disturbing and horrific (the actors who played the kids, Thomas 'Deuce' Jessup and Jaycee Williams, were terrific, although I don't know how old they were when they were in the movie). However (and to put some of the minds at ease), I was watching a behind-the-scenes documentary on tv (which is not on the DVD, although I wish it was) about this movie and for this scene, the parents of these 2 beautiful kids were on the set and were really horrified and worried about Michael Ealy dropping them out of the window. At 1:56, this was a green screen effect (I could be wrong though). Tyler had the kids on harnesses and when Michael released them, they were actually swinging on the harnesses.
+protectorofillinois3 thank heaps for that
+Nya “Lil Mya Hearts” Jouliaa You're more than welcome :-D
protectorofillinois3 That's true
Yeah thanks for that. We'd hate to think that these kids were murdered on camera
Rodney Merus 🤣🤣🤣
Those kids were too beautiful.. I lost it at 'help her!'
It was too late to help anyways 😎
DO SOMETHING!!!! DON'T JUST STAND THERE!!!!!!!
Hey i'm with her.
Why didn't she catch 'em if no one else would? She's just as much too blame as the rest of 'em. They all cold blooded bastards for watching!
@@skipropemcgee3356 she's only one old lady,
Skip Rope McGee Because then her and them would've died. She would've died from the momentum they built from the fall & they likely would have died before they even hit the ground.
@@skipropemcgee3356 She was old, it made more sense for her to call on younger, more agile people. She did more than a lot of people would.
To everyone griping about how no one tried to help catch those kids, lemme explain why that wouldn't work:
1. There was a spiked fence so no one would've been able to get directly under the window.
2. Even if the bystanders had the time to grab a bedsheet and gather everyone to hold that sheet taut, any weighty object falling over 3 stories would've torn through. There's specialized sheets for that but no one had access to that kind of thing. They would've needed to call the fire department the very second those kids were dangled out the window.
3. Just because we saw the kicked window screen landed outside of the fence doesn't mean the kids would've landed there. The window screen is hundreds of ounces lighter and has less mass than those kids. The air current created by the fall could've landed the window screen ANYWHERE.
4. While on the subject of mass/weight, let's talk about free falling. You've heard the saying "The heavier they are, the harder they fall, right? This is correct and it's based off of Newton's Law if Motion. The "heavier" is concerning weight, and the "harder they fall" bit is talking about impact force.
A person that weighs 200lbs and falls six feet would hit the ground with the impact force of 10,000lbs.
SIX FEET.
LET THAT SINK IN.
5. With the above in mind, let's get into the numbers. The apartment window seems to be at a height of 50 feet. The daughter seems to be around 5 or 6 years old, and her brother seems to be around 3 or 4 years old. The average weight for a 3-year-old is 32lbs. The average weight for a 5-year-old is 40lbs.
Using the average weight, if the 3-year-old falls from 50 feet, the fall velocity will be at 70mph. The impact force hitting the ground at that speed is 177.7kN (kilonewtons). Translated in English, the impact force would be equivalent to *39,928LBS.*
*THAT'S 19.96 US TONS.*
If the 5-year-old fell from 50 feet, the impact force would be *222kN.* English translation again?
*THAT'S HITTING THE GROUND WITH 49,910LBS OR 24.96 TONS OF FORCE.*
Yup. Ain't NOBODY catching those kids.
I don't think I need to tell you how catastrophic it would've been to catch the children barehanded. You might as well let a Mack truck hit you head on in the freeway for it's pretty much the same thing. Your body isn't a trampoline and it would not have withstood those high impact forces. It's also likely that the kids would've died anyway with you catching them, for your body would crumple being hit with those forces and they'd STILL hit the ground.
Thank you for this information. I think the reason why this scene is so upsetting, is because the people were just stood watching, they wouldn’t have known that they’d die catching the babies. Did no one’s instinct tell them, to go save the children?
You’re correct; I watched the documentary called “The Bridge” about the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge suicides. When you described the velocity of falling from great distance, it’s the same speed from the bridge, except when you land in the water, it’s like hitting concrete.
It hurt me for real when the other lady yelled DON'T JUST STAND THERE😭😭😭💔
She stood there, though. She's one of those armchair pediatricians.
She's partially to blame for not taking her kids out of that situation! If you want to stay in an abuse relationship, fine. But dont make your kids suffer because youre too weak to do anything!
Its easier said than done. Try to look at things from her point of view. Yeah she could have just left with the kids but he would probably catch her or find her after she escapes.
+Alexis Plummer I hear what you're saying!
Alexis Plummer not if she moved to a completely different state. with him spending all of his money on booze, I don't think he would've had the resources to find them
Alexis Plummer Exactly
dreamur94 Guys like this will quit their jobs and look for you. They have nothing but time on their hands to ruin your life
This traumatised me ffs. I hope I never come across a man like this
Or one like her for that matter.
This scene made me cry. I’m a elementary and middle school teacher so I have my share of good and bad kids. I don’t care how bad kids are, nobody deserves to die like this. I’m supposed to be a strong man, but this scene broke me down to a full out cry.
The kids didn't do nothing, he was crazy
Real talk I have caught a child whose mother did this from a highrise & I caught this child in midair to break her fall & ended up feeling the pain afterwards... It was by the grace of God in me to save that child & I didn't get looked at as hero or nothing. I did it out of love for that child to live. Still I get treated like a disrespected wild animal from black women whether verbal or mental I'm used to it but I have peace & harmony in me now...
+Will Nance you're a good man! I'm sure that child felt the same!

Just like Halle Berry always loses her kids in movies
💯 lol right 😭
Like why??
@@fawnbrown1913 I think she’s bad luck with children in movies
I'm glad they showed this scene in the movie because it's such a reality of how crazy and evil certain people are........................I hope someone can look at this movie who is going through a similar situation learn to get out
No its not just a movie if you do research you will see this has happened in several cases. That monster that threw his ex girlfriend out the window with his 3 month old. Then climbed down the fire excape to continue his vicious attack
A lady in Chicago had this happen to her pregnant 7 storie window and she fell out . Survived but still
Then don't date black men.
this man is very heartless!!! he dropped the kids and just backed up out of the window, lord have mercy!!!!! why the hell did they have give Michael the damn role????!!! 😡😡😡
Right?! And I liked Michael Ealy! They could've given it to Richard T Jones or someone
Because he did damn good job playin it

@@PeridotPrincess ik I'm late but fr, he is so good at these roles, it's scary!!
I blame the social worker. Idc how scary a parent seems you have the power to remove the children from the home.
Those poor babies 😩💔 I cried watching this scene, i lost my son in 2019, ik how it feels to lose a child 😔 this scene is so heartbreaking hearing them scream and seeing them trying to hold on 🥺 and I just hate how everyone stood there and watched, they could’ve made a tight circle and tried to catch them 😒 and I’m not sayin it’s Crystal’s fault but once the abuse first began, she should’ve took the kids and left, anybody reading this who’s in a abusive relationship please end the relationship and LEAVE, it’s only gonna get worse if you stay with that person abusing you 💯
Sorry for your loss. RIP and in prayers 🙏🏾
It is just a movie, but parents fail all the time to protect their kids from harmful partners. Worse yet, they side with them.
This scene made me cry...for the loss of the babies and anger at women that put their children in situations like this.
but how ms Cosby get down them stairs so quick? those are a lot of stairs
Melodie Jai With that kind of motivation she could've outrun Usain Bolt.
@@Capcoor she couldve used that motivation to bust the door down
Mrs Huxtable
I was thinking that too. Lol.
I can't believe it. Those babies 😭
My heart was ripped to shreds when I saw this scene for the first time idk how she did it I would've died with them that day
She did try to commit suicide later that day after she tried to clean their blood off the sidewalk
@@raecabrera5417 What did she use to clean their guts up with? I'm sorry I didn't see the entire movie.
what really kills me the most about this movie is this scene im like so many people were outside they just stood there and didnt try to catch the babies like tf is wrong with them they just stood there like a fucking street light. Something could've been done
They couldn't save the babies even if they caught them they were dropped way too high
How?????? Those babies were TOO INNOCENT.
Michael Ealy was wild in this movie and Loretta Devine and Phylicia Rashad made this clip sooo sad the way they was screaming when he threw the babies out the window smh sad this shit happens in everyday real life tho😔
James Earl Cash sorry to hear that it's always that 1 somebody out there that can pick you up when you down God bless y'all stay 💪
It's not Ealy's fault that the Moon bounce maintenance man was late.
This was such an emotional part in the movie. It was very sad....On a second note, I'm like why does Kimberly Elise have to have such bad luck in these movies....This movie, Set It Off ( Her child was taken by the protective services and she was the first to get killed), and Diary of A Mad Black Woman (Bastard gonna drag her down those steps. Even after all his abuse, she went and took care of the guy...glad she rolled him in that water).
even the movie with bishop td jakes produce she was rape by her mom boyfriend
You ever seen 'woman thou art loosed' ? she had it hella rough in that film as well.
As a preschool teacher, a big sister, and big cousin to all, I was heartbroken when I first saw that scene. I was watching it with my mom.
Gravity works faster than we can move and faster than our brains can react.
Oscar-worthy scene. Michael Ealy and Kimberly Elise..this entire cast. Phylicia Rashad. This entire scene gives me goosebumps still after almost a decade.
I throughly the rape scene was horrific. But this one still reach the top of the saddest scene...
Whenver I watch this scene, I can feel my heart aching for those kids :'( What a sick thing to do...
this is the most saddest scene ever
Got me hyped 🤣🤣🤣
This scene didnt make sense to me.... a mother with her children in danger WOULD say anything to save them.... why was she not trying to convince him otherwise....tell him you'd marry tell him you visited the moon tell him anything he wants to hear until they're safe.
I am not saying he would have changed his mind but for me, this scene has a lack of effort on her part
The most horrific scene in a movie. I just bout kicked my tv over.
CREEPY KOULWAH
This is nothing. See “A Serbian Film.”
I remember people walking out the theater during this scene and I hate that she didn’t stab his ass before he could bust open that window
He said this scene messed him up very badly
They all played this scene so well that I can’t help but cry EVERY TIME I watch it
This part broke me down to tears.
Nah them gravity kids were broken into tears.
Man I was 23 when I saw this movie I haven't seen it since because this part immediately I had a slight heart attack in the movie theatre I had to drink water to calm my heart rate and blood pressure. This part still gives me chills.
This is my first time seeing this scene and it left me in tears. I thought i could handle it because I've seen a lot of disturbing shit but this really tore me apart into pieces even though this isnt real.
Kimberly Elise always ends up with no good rotten men. This film, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, and Woman Thou Art Loosed.
And "Almost Christmas"
And the lifetime movie “a day late and a dollar short” also.
When Phylicia ran in front of the car screaming help her I absolutely believed her acting
Ok so you mean to tell me that out of all the people there they couldn't crowd around under the children to make sure they would be safe if he let them go? This is so unrealistic...
I love you L
I don't think the kids could've been saved they were dropped from way too high
They could've been saved. It would of hurt like hell. But they could've.
Is that black dude in your avi? Bitches like you
lkale sbaian but your avi includes a black guy......
I break down every time i see this.. and i cry for hours this truly is heartbreaking
After this scene I didn't want to see the movie no more
when he was dangling those children over the balcony still asking would you marry me, she should have been like YES I'LL MARRY YOU to calm him down and then DIP with your kids to the police station!!!!!
When he dropped them kids to their death below, I remember the entire audience in the theater going crazy in a sad way.
I hate how abusive guys/father's abuse the wife then takes it out on the children too
He had PTSD from being in war. This scene was extremely powerful and worst stuff like this happens in real life. She should not have stayed in the abusive relationship knowing he was only getting worse. especially for the kids safety. Tuly devastating and unfortunate
Those babies would have been better off drafted than living with that lunatic.
this shattered my heart. the way i would've tried to catch them kids. i'm so mad people stood there and looked.
the way janet took off her fuckin glasses when she saw the lady run outside
While this part of the movie breaks my heart. No one seems to understand that Beau suffers from PTSD from the war. He doesn't get the help he needs and ends up totally abusive. He'll probably end up committing suicide in jail. It's hard to put the horrors of war behind you. Most veterans end up committing suicide because they know their head is messed up and they can't deal with the horrors they have seen or may have committed. Doesn't make what he did right. Just wanted people to understand where the abuse is coming from in this situation. She should have left him a long time ago.
That nigga shoulda been on some heavy meds lol
That's right
This was the point in the film that my professor couldn't stomach. He legitimately paused it before they got dropped and asked to turn the lights on It's gut wrenching, brutal, and tears the heartstrings of old parents apart, those who would never dream of putting their child's life in jeaprody.
It's something that the choreopoem only graces over in its brutality, we never read the derrangement of Beau to this extent or hear of what happens after, only the story of a woman who had her joy robbed because she thought she could mend a broken man. CINEMA.
Tyler perry I have no words this movie was powerful and I love every actress that played in 4colored girls I give this movie more than a billion stars the messages are so clear and if you don't like the movie don't want it so be it
Same🙏🏽
This scene made me so damn mad. I mean literally know did anything to help help her. They stood their an watched the man throw his own children off the ledge. I was in tears.
The part where Phylicia Rashad told her that she had to accept responsibility really opened my eyes to something. At the time I thought it was a cruel thing to say being that she was sitting there suffering so badly. As a mother now I couldn't imagine. However now that I am a mother oh, I get it. And although I've been grateful to avoid any kind of abuse, I just hope that there were many women that got it too.
Yep. Sometimes the humbling truth hurts but it's necessary to accept if you are gonna grow and heal properly.
She didn’t deserve this but it was her fault. She shouldn’t have had her kids around that dangerous man. Father or not. Should’ve been a better mother.
Hey, don’t blame this on her
Besides, it’s just a movie
Watched this in the theater when it first came out and everyone was bawling. Took me years to actually watch the movie again. Abusing relationships never end good for anyone involved once you stay but it’s hard getting out
You don’t tell these type on the spot that you not gonna do something. You move to a safe place first, then tell them and they get the message. Great actors in this movie
I remover being in 3rd grade watching this scene when my sister was doing my hair and I started screaming for her to turn it off...I’m 15 now and it still hurts to watch this
I cry every time I see this🤦🏽♀️💔
She should have just lied and said she would marry him! And run away with the kids at a safer time !!!!!!!!!!!!!
“So, so whatchu tryna say…” that’s the cue… thank you. Peace with those that tried to make it and the survivors that did… may God stay with us.
I HATED him on this fucking scene UGH!!!!!! She should have separated from him a LONG time ago!!!! It's part her fault too for not disassociating her and her kids away from him LONG BEFORE!!!!!!
all those people watching someone could've called the cops i hated this scene so much 😢😢 I was in shock and heartbroken
It’s such a hard message to convey, but it’s completely necessary. You gotta boss you whatever way possible if your children’s lives are at danger... no more “I’m too scared to...” because it’s no longer about you when you bring children into a life like that.
That mom should have been on her Ps and Qs, now she got 2 children pancakes. 😎
They acted the hell out of this scene. I cried my ass off!
i like the video because of the emotion and the realism that was portrayed in the film...the acting was amazing speaking from an actor's point of view. it touches your heart because it was a damn good scene. I'm writing a paper about why men act in such a manor to woman and this clip shows a part of why. Intimacy issues, anger, masculinity and furthermore.
Attila Dobos you're right. Violence shouldn't be tolerated. Regardless of gender.
