Their Eyes Were Watching God

Directed by Darnell Martin Their Eyes Were Watching God was phenomenal. A drama set in the 1920s, where free-spirited Janie Crawford's played by Halle Berry search for happiness that leads her through several different marriages, challenging the morals of her small town. With the genre of Bildungsroman (coming of age), and the American Southern spiritual journey where the community convicts, segregate against the ungodly.
The main factors of this film was Janie's hair, the pear tree, the horizon and the hurricane. Love and relationships versus independence; spiritual fulfillment; and materialism showed clearly through out the film.
The tone of the film appear to be sympathetic and affirming. The language took a tole of control, power and conquest as a mean to fulfillment.
