Their Eyes Were Watching God, Tv movie on abc Options

[Teesa]

Sorry if there is a topic like this already, I did a search=)

So I watched the movie last night: it was on abc, produced by Oprah Winfrey, with Halle Berry and Michael Ealy.
I was wondering if anyone else watched it, because I did and I thought it was going to be a lot better. The movie was still pretty good, but that's because I love Michael Ealy.

I really want to read the book now=) yeah his name was tea cake. I thought that was cute.

aw man, i missed it!!
i read the book though, its pretty good.  do you know if they're airing it again?

ugh, i hated that book, it was full of weird dialect and soo many metaphors and crap

ahh i didn't kno it was on i woulda watched it..

i hated the book we are required to read it at school and it frustrated the crap outta me. i did not like the book at all it was real boring.. i couldnt stand the way it was written. but still i wanna see the movie.

me too, my class had to spend months on that crap, we had to write essays and explain what things meant in it etc


i haven't seen it but from what i heard from my literature teacher, they portrayed janey as a weak woman and not the strong, independent woman she is , like when she meets that guy near her house at the fence, she just runs off with him...they didn't show how he talked to her everyday and how she waited until she got to know him. also, after whoever died, they didn't show how she turned down all the suitors...they just went straight to her meeting tea cake, as if she just had to be with another man asap they cut basically what the whole book was about, janey is an independent woman
