Diary of a Tired Black Man [Import]

I think the idea behind this documentary was a good one, however it was very biased. It seemed as though the take away from the movie was that "it's the black woman's fault". The documentary interviews many regular black people giving their two cents on relationships. I couldn't help but notice that when the men where interviewed, although making some valid points, they were agreed with and not really interrupted. However, when the women who were in direct contrast in opinion were interviewed, they were almost chastised in a way. If the women being interviewed did not directly or indirectly say "yes, we are angry and/or its our fault" they were ridiculed and made to look dumb.

I did not like the in between acting. Again more bias. The man was made out to be a saint, while the women came off deranged and crazy. That's not the real world...the world consists of PEOPLE (men and women) who are not infallible.

The movie did touch on no good men, only to say in so many words that the women should make better choices in mates and not bring it to the next relationship. This documentary stressed the fact that women carry and harbor ill feelings and generalizations about men only to bring it to men who are good and have nothing to do with their past, which is a valid point. However, the creator/camera man continuously goes on to interview different people asking them questions similar to "how do you feel about angry black women?" To me thats seems very unfair and makes the movie come off like a contradiction.

Despite my negative review, I think it is a good watch if you can formulate your own opinion and not the opinion the author wants you to have.

I was displeased that it wasnt a movie but gave it a try. It had some good points but was not agreeing with the display of black women complaining and blaming everyone but themselves. I understand the fact that a lot of women hold on these grudges and build those high-walled guards to men because of the voids in their hearts when it comes to men; some didnt have a supportive father to be the man in her life to mold her into some understanding about men. And some just have thier personal issues, opinions that may not make any sense to have a reason wear the "Men aint #@$"! sign. I understand the men on this one but I didnt like how this documentary embrace the fact that MAYBE its the women. this was a finger-pointing documentary and what no one talked about was how people need to check themselves when it comes to having what you need rather than what you want. That goes for the men AND the women.

I have arrived at a point in my life, when I will question who is speaking and what they are saying, and what gives them the right to say it, before I spend my money on anything. Of course this revelation came after I purchased this DVD.

I don't think this DVD's subject matter is the material of social revolution it was proclaimed to be or would cause. The premise is faulty and the 'experts' interviewed on the subject were biased. Angry Black Woman Syndrome indeed! It seemed like a retalitory vendetta by an Angry Black Man.
