An apology to Mr. Perry.
I’m one of those haters who was scratching his head about Tyler Perry. I didn’t get him, so I dismissed him, and his purpose. I was so ignorant I managed to do the before mentioned without even watching one of his movies or TV shows.
Oh ignorant me.
It’s funny that I bump into this 60 minute piece while I’m on this vibe of figuring out how to deliver a bigger message, an inspiring, empowering message without getting preachy, making sure I’m telling a good story and, most importantly, making sure I’m entertaining.
I’m a firm believer after watching the piece above that Tyler Perry is doing just that, his way. All we have to do, even if we don’t enjoy his movies, is to give the boy from New Orleans a shot.
Diary of a Mad Black Woman is at the top of my netflix cue.
Check out the piece above.
The inspiring ‘we-can-change-the-world-with-TV-and-movies’ blog continues.
Tomorrow is my first day of ‘heading into film’. Standby for that entry.
PS: Kids, do NOT use Byron Pitts as an example for how to interview…. NEVER. Look up Ed Bradley, Charlie Rose, or for someone more young/engaging Strombolopolous instead.
