Women

The movies “Colored Girls” and “Out of our father’s house” are about different races of women and the different and similar problems they share. “Colored Girls” is about black women and the problems they face. The setting of it was set in the 1970s. “Out of our father’s house” was about white women and the problems they face. The setting of it was set from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. “Colored Girls” was set in the hood or urban areas. “Out of our father’s house” was set in the rural areas.

They were similar because they both talked about women and their struggles. They are similar because they both talk about at least one women and the love of there lives. They both talk about the struggles of basically being stay at home moms and trying to take care of their babies. They were similar because in both movies they were dancing at some point. They were similar because they both had an issue with a man that was abusive in the relationship.

They were different because of obvious reasons one movie was focused solely on black women and the other movie focused on white women. They are different because in the “Colored Girls” one of the girls children is killed by an obsessed father who wanted to marry their mother. And in “Out of our father’s house” this one girl was forced by her dad to quit high school and get married and have children at the age of twelve years old. They are different because in the “Colored Girls” a lady was raped. And in “Out of our father’s house” no women got raped. Also the “Out of our father’s house” the women were fighting for women’s suffrage and more and better rights among the work place. They showed the film through the Flu Epidemic of 1863 and the Spanish Flu of 1917. Also the women lost men doing theses Flu Epidemics. And the women of “Colored Girls” just talked about getting more equals rights for their race in society and the work place. That’s all I really think about theses to movies and their similarities and differences.
