Wow, the film's theme about insecurity is very relatable. We look for evidence to confirm or justify our insecurities and he found a pattern in her past then assigned negative meaning to support his insecurity. He didn't feel like he belonged with her and was insecure but projected his insecurity on her and self sabotaged only to realize his mistake too late. Great film.

[@nancyr3810]

This is great..hugs. Shows how our insecurities keep us from so much life.. it’s ok. Compassion. It’s my path to learning to love myself. Thank you great movie

[@leonardnimoy7]

Ooft, he was in his own head and now you're in mine 🤣 so many questions and possibilities. That was great, thanks. Worth the wait.

My pediatrician used to call me “beta” and cup my chin in her hand- I know this was not at all about that moment, but it immediately gave me warm feelings. I was at the doctor a lot for respiratory problems as a child and it was always a comfort. I miss her smile. Lovely, lovely job to everyone involved.

[@AmberWilkinson333]

Yes, love is warm and easy. Sending more love your way, dear🫶🏼🦋🌻

[@kismetau]

Had to look up that word - that’s nice 😊

The way she walked up the stairs, as though there was nothing in her womb.

[@LisaStrang-sn5tm]

WOW! WHAT A MOVIE...GREAT PERFORMANCE AND DELIVERY OF TRUEST OF TRUTH, UN-PORTRAYED, EVERYDAY HAPPENING AROUND THE WORLD...LOTS OF RACISM SEEN FROM AN INDIAN PERSPECTIVE...IT WAS WEIRD TO SEE... SOOOO, MUCH TIME WAS WASTED AND FOREVER LOST FROM RACISM; FROM WHOMEVER THE PERSPECTIVE IS FROM !!! AGAIN, WOW!

[@Lilcassy94]

« Bang…bang. »

[@saloninegi147]

She's right. It's good to mix up the genes.

[@carolinemarchand4743]

less genetical problems!

[@martas9283]

Brilliant in every way

[@user-mo3ue1to2o]

Honestly I get this. I get his insecurities. I married a white man(and im black) and at first it seemed like love but any more, it only seems like I'm a black girl fetish to him. Why? you ask. Because the girls he cheated on me with are black girls.

[@Kvetch50]

Being attracted to certain features doesn’t have to be about racism. Insecurities and being reductive can lead a person to project it as racism though. Your ex’s biggest issue is cheating-he just happens to like black women. Assuming you’re hetero, you like men, does that make you homophobic?

[@carolinemarchand4743]

Why do you let him cheat more than once?! next! You deserve a nice faithful man

[@2_thumbs_up_baby]

Sitcom plse! Loved it ❤

[@greenheaven_30x]

what was it ? Anyone! what why ?

[@n_vibgyor]

one or two is ok...5 naaah! he took a good decision...dont feel guilty my friend! You will find one..oh anyway I am completely into the story/film..which means its a good presentation! Congratulations!

[@AmberWilkinson333]

Ummm, son don't you think it's a bit late after 5 months pregnant. Baby is at stake now 🐥🍼

[@sandra8991]

Ahh... so complex. I can relate in a lot of ways.

[@waew7533]

I don't believe her. She will break up with the new guy. She is just trying to make the point that she was right.

[@NattyByNature-]

I don’t see the issue here. I’m black and if I liked white culture and only wanted to date white what’s wrong wit that as long as I’m not shaming or downplaying black women. So what?! I hate how majority of black ppl love so it’s not my preference. So what?!

[@mandalamia]

Sad. Hopefully that fear of being fetishized isn’t too widespread in real life. If you’re true to yourself, you should have an easy enough time falling in love with a real one and knowing where they’re actually coming from.

[@fc4660]

Positive racial profiling 😅

[@user-mo7xc9po5n]

Very random movie, good but not good enough

[@AmberWilkinson333]

Did he ruin a perfectly great relationship and Future family due to a hang up in his subconscious of being inferior because of a race?

[@mrriscoe]

Not sure where you picked up an inferiority complex. Rather it was about his not wanting to be fetishised as a person of colour by someone pale looking for exoticism

[@Kvetch50]

Sounds like it

[@nvthompson4090]

As we saw in the classic Spike Lee joint “Jungle Fever”, racial fetishes are REAL, y’all. The key question here is: “Is the relationship based on love (which is deep) or based on the fetish (which is shallow).” A racial fetish feels very different than an interracial relationship that is based on love, admiration, honesty & respect (especially when it involves women of colour👈🏽). I will say this was an honest movie🎥 but I didn’t buy that she loved the Caucasian guy at the end (a Black guy would have been a nice addition to the story, just saying🤷🏽‍♀️) But IMO this couple did the right thing by breaking up…I believe she did fetishize him and that would have forever plagued him.❤️‍🩹
