Soul Food (1997) The Family Used Terri & Bird Was Immature!

[@Jujuthecat]

I don’t think terry was being spiteful when she insisted on selling the house. She was the only one paying the expenses on it and considering everyone was borrowing from her, it was evident she going to keep paying on it. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

[@Tiajones333]

I definitely agree because people love calling her spiteful and jealous she had it first so maybe they were jealous of her they stole stuff from her they used her I didn't like how the movie made it seem like she couldn't have any kids and they did that in the TV series too

[@MegaDiva1999]

totally.Terry was drained dry without thanks. I re-watched the TV series during covid and that thing was triggERRING. I saw so much toxicity that I didn't understood when I was younger. My heart feels for Terry so deeply now that I have family responsibilities. In our context, black tax means all the obligations that are placed on the most succesful or educated family member. Almost like you're the lottery or social security that everyone cashes. Worst is when some families start living on university children's scholarships which are meant to be for their rent, board, food and books. Heart breaking pressure before young people even start their career or have a chance to start their lives , pay back student debts ,fnd a good job. And just like these folk, no thanks or empathy,just endless demands.

[@darklovely2431]

When Terry said "fuck family" I fealt her! They will pull off you as long as you allow them, then hide it under the guise of "family"

[@jmonique6409]

I agree. It wasn't done/said in spite. Terri had been shouldering all the financial burden of the family. Maxine was a stay at home mom, and Byrd was a hairstylist (whose salon was funded by Terri) who actually lived in the house with her new husband ex con who didn't have a job.

[@Mrs.buildingblackwealth]

Right

[@MsMelyjean]

Terri was the most loyal to her sisters in more than just words. Terri financed the whole family, their dreams, and their debts and was belittled for expressing her feelings and her pain, in return.

[@gmwilliamsful]

Just like my late mother. My late father told her NOT TO DO IT. I told her NOT TO DO IT. I said that my extended maternal family were parasitic. I was right- I haven't paid for them & now the property is going to the state. I won't pay for those freeloaders- I told them such.

[@m.d.1395]

I know I'm late but this review reminds me that Teri wasn't the villain. Her first boyfriend cheater with her sister and her second husband fked the family. Financial burdens fell on her shoulders all the time. She never had a chance.

Big Mama comes from an era where you didn't talk about those hurtful, traumatizing & shameful moments because it would embarrass or tarnish the family name. Big Mama comes from an era where people suppressed all negative emotions & refused to resolve conflicts face to face. Resulting with a lot of fake family love, resentments & generational trauma being passed down. Big Mama carried those methods while bringing up her own family. Which is why when she got sick & died the family completely fell apart. Only when the family confronted each other with hard truth did they begin to heal & build true unity & love for each other.

Exactly, it was about time that Terry asserted herself. Oldest daughters, assert yourselves & don't let your family use you. Makes me glad that I am AN ONLY child. At least as an only child, you CHOOSE who you want in your life. With siblings, you are STUCK with them for better or worse.

[@nanangema1172]

[@PurrGurl]

Yeah when I was younger I thought if Terri stopped being so bitchy and shady her family would love her more. But Terri had trauma she got her boyfriend and husband stole by her family. She had big shoes to fill being the only one in the family with money! period let that sink in. You could tell she loved her mom but from Terri's perspective she had to put her foot down the only way she knew how. It's like they had so much strife and literally made her pay her way in the family smh .

[@nogalistanineties9237]

Teri didn't envy anything she was hurt because her sister stole her man btw lem and bird were very young that's why they were pulling immature tactics

I watched this movie this morning while cooking! I'll never understand what Nia Long's character was thinking getting her ex to get her husband a job. You know your ex is a slimey slithering son of a bitch and you know your husband got a short fuse with priors. And it's crazy that they never address healthy eating at all in this movie even though soul food killed big momma. Anyway, great review!

Baby I was living for this review! I love this channel so much. I went back and watch this earlier this year and when I was younger I used to think Terry was mean, but now I wished she could of just stabbed that man at that party! Sis had about enough! I feel like the family would just treat her any kind of way, but they were always using her especially when it came down to finances. And don't get me started on the sister marrying her old boyfriend from high school..... I never realized how dysfunctional they were either. But I did love the relationship that the little boy had with his grandmother though. It reminded me of how close me and my great grandmother were when I was little. She is still my whole heart, may she rest in peace. Anyway another great retro review!

Michael Beach was that “nigga you love to hate” during that era. Playing Bernie’s ex on waiting to exhale, this role, even playing an abusive husband in a Stevie Wonder music video.

Terri was definitely jealous! She's worried about paying everyone's bills, but all her husband has to worry about is following his dreams - and taking out their savings to do it. When Bird told her she needs to worry about Faith being with her husband, I was officially SICK! And the fact that her sisters didn't want Faith in their house because of her possibly having an affair with them, but put it on Terri to house her, had me not only giving them a side-eye, but giving them a "Mmmm," too. Her family had no loyalty to her!

[@KearoJenkins]

If your sister stole your boyfriend and then you had a cousin that slept with your husband and you taking the whole family paying big momma bills paying for your sister wedding she did everything for the family and nobody felt how hurt they never repaid terry back it's like the family really didn't care how she felt the family left terry hanging

I swear this movie had all the excuses in the world for the men's horrible behavior and condemned the women (especially Terri) for their reactions. Not that the women were perfect, I think Bird was very aptly named haha. Terri's character was triggering for me because it definitely well represents not the only the pressure placed on the eldest girls in Black families, BUT also she represents the isolating poisiton of being the "successful one". What's interesting is that all of their dynamics could definitely pinned to Big Mama/her marriage and the hinted gambling problem that the husband had. Even though I still love the movie, it feels very much like a "strong black woman/pick me" propaganda film haha.

Poor Teri deserved better. The whole family was ungrateful towards her, in spite of rhe money she was giving everyone; not a single "thank you" was given that day. And Bird was pretty stupid about how she went behind Lem's back with her slimy ex for a job. Even with her not getting him the job, she then emasculates him about losing his previous job, and when he griped about the (legitimate) way that the system is against ex-cons and Black men. AND why did she accept that bracelet from the ex and freaking wear it in front of Lem? She was pathetic. And speaking of Lem, he was dirty and a thug. Why wasn't him grinding on his ex ever addressed again? What did Bird see in him? Did they end up divorced in the series? I really can't remember.

[@pensiveczar2239]

While Teri helped way more than she should've and was taken advantage of by the family, part of the reason she helped so much was to throw it back in their faces or use it as leverage. She wasn't selfless; she knew her success, wealth and open checkbook gave her a certain amount of power that she could hold over their heads, and she tended to enjoy being unpleasant. On one hand, Teri was genuine...enough...but on the other, she was very vindictive.

Right because when Maxine and Terri were shocked by Lem's ex dancing nasty against him, the look on her face towards Ahmad was like "Don't worry, baby I got it covered."

[@purplebanana6420]

Bro its crazy the family judged terri at every turn for her justified behaviour mean while slim over her criminals record running around with a chip on his shoulder breaking windows and carrying weapons around while on probation

I remember when I first saw this movie. I just fell in love with it. My best favorite characters is Lem and Ahmad. I always thought they were the father and son in this movie because of their chemistry. I’ve always loved mother joe. She reminds me of my grandmother. I also liked Kenny too because he was a good man. I just realized now that most of the characters wasn’t shit. Teri, Maxine, Bird, Miles, Faith, and the ex Simuel.

Actually it's nothing wrong with eating Soul Food. What harming Afro American people is process food, fast food, drugs, and alcohol. Collard Greens have calcium same as black eye peas. For example, when individuals want to make ice cream to make it healthier they use sweet potatoes .

[@anthonyanderson9303]

Yea it's all about balance and moderation. Too much of anything can hurt you. Eating like that every day can cause all sorts of health issues. Fried Chicken? Mac and Cheese? All that grease and butter.

[@nettegaines2067]

It’s the way we choose to cook soul food a lot of the time that’s a problem. Most people put a lot of fatty, salty pork with their collard greens. Then the excessive butter and salt in most of the dishes. You don’t have to make it that way, but most do.

[@matxalenc8410]

​@@nettegaines2067 Yes. My grandma puts pork in all the greens. Like, damn! Why can't we let a vegetable be a vegetable?!

[@MrDman21]

That family is too much like my own family 😅

[@JRob594]

You'll be surprised how many families are really dysfunctional like this (including my own) they would rather sweep issues under the rug than to confront them

[@figuringitout796]
