As I expected “Steel Magnolias” was wonderfully written
and well preformed. The cast worked
great together and their acting capabilities complimented each other without
prejudice. The revised script gave a
warm feeling to what a southern African –American family would exemplify with
regards to love, family bond, and friendship.
Although, there were many messages for us to gain from, the one in
particular that I wanted to make mention of is acceptance!
Understanding that we all are imperfect beings should
lead us to the awareness that we all make mistakes in various areas of life, relationship
and sisterhood. It was quite evident
that all of the ladies suffered some type of life disappointment and each one
dealt with it in their own way. Nevertheless,
each of them knew the other’s struggle and accepted their friend just as she was
while allowing room for growth. I
would love to hear what message you gathered from the film….don’t be shy…communicating
is good for the SOUL!
P.S. If you had to choose a
character that illustrated you within your circle who would it be?
Love,
Mandy
