Funny story… *Steve introduced me to this film. How fitting (apart from the affair part, as I left his abusing ass). Thinking about it, I may change my blog title to this, because this is exactly what I am – A MAD BLACK WOMAN! I knew writing about my kittens would open up a whole can of something, but also knew it had to be done.
{Spoiler Alert}
Watching this film for the second time, (first time was with Steve), it shows how the character Helen was always there for her husband Charles, but then he left her for another woman. He kicked his wife out of the house she looked after and kept clean for him, and moved his mistress in to take her place. He denied her a child, but had one with the other woman.
Not knowing what to do, as she had no money (even though he was rich, but had cut her off from the bank accounts), she turned to her family, feeling ashamed and hurt.
The woman whom Charles had left his wife for left him after a client almost killed him. She also wiped out his bank accounts.
Bound to a wheelchair, Helen is the only person who steps forward to help him out. She gets even with him, but through all her pain and anger, her heart softens and she takes care of him. She does find love with a man named Orlando and divorces her husband.
A beautiful woman, who got hurt, but learned to stand on her own to feet and find love again.
Maybe that will be me…
One day…
