Tyler Perry’s Temptation
The movie I decided to watch was Tyler Perry’s
Temptation. This movie is basically about a married woman’s temptation by a
handsome billionaire she meets at her job that then leads her betrayal,
recklessness, and then changes the course of her life. This movie did pass the
Bechdel Test because had multiple women characters with names and they talked
about things other than a man, but I did find the movie to still be feminist in
some ways. Now in this movie the main character Judith the married woman, is a
strong Christian faith wife working at dating agency and her coworker Ava is
always talking about how Judith dresses and how she needs to drees more sexy
and show off her body more. Now Judith doesn’t believe there was anything wrong
with the way she dressed until she started working with the billionaire. That’s
not the only part that I thought was feminist, another part of the movie is
when Judith’s mother comes to visit and her mother asks her does she cook,
clean, and does everything a good wife’s supposed to do for her husband. I thought
this part of the movie showed a lot of feminist in what they believe women/wife’s
are supposed to do to be considered a good wife. There was another part of this
movie that really suck out to me and it was the part where at Judith’s husbands
job they hire a new worker named Melinda and based off of the cloths she was
wearing Judith’s husband’s boss thought Melinda was lesbian. Melinda was
wearing jeans, boots, and baggy sweater, and off those pieces of clothing
someone perceived her as a lesbian when she was not. This was a great movie and
showed another angel to certain situation in life that people may come across
one day. Yes the movie may have had some feminist parts but overall all the
parts were played well.
