The Wedding part 1

[@nichellesimon6589]

I remember being an 11 year old enjoying every bit of this movie. Now being 33, I see the colorism, how the working class was treated, and the beautiful stories told about the family’s history-I can appreciate this movie even more today. Thank you for posting this!

[@blaquenguni9249]

You're quite pale yourself Nichelle

[@hyacinthdibley]

Those old ladies' waves at 6:33 are so hilarious. hahaha

[@pikespeaklosangeles]

I nearly died because their waves seemed so friendly and neighbourly

[@jasonvoorhiesfri13]

As a huge Halle Barry fan I appreciate this movie. Halle also played in Alex Haley's movie Queen made in 1993 and she is outstanding in that movie as well. :)

[@deeslim2]

Tjats black guy wife played in queen too

[@camarz8517]

I absolutely LOVE Queen as well! I binge watched that for about a month straight earlier this year! She put her Whole Foot and everything she had in that role!!

[@CeliniacForLife]

This isn’t a movie. It’s a miniseries 🙄

[@DragonHeart613]

Its been a very very long time since I saw this one! Thank you for this lunargoddess2002!!!

[@PrettiPeace]

I simply looooooved this movie. Fiiiinnnne black men. Great acting by all.

[@TheGreg131313]

The lighting is beautiful.It looks cloudy and dream like.

[@AshLemonade]

When they kiss - 5:04 "Mind your business." LOL!

[@act4666]

Beautiful film!!!! Oprah you make beautiful films.

[@futuredoc1988]

i love this movie for some reason. its one of those movies i can watch anytime its on.

[@nesoldier74]

Wow I haven't seen this in years. I taped it when it came on tv. Lost it. Thanks for posting.

[@SgtPlmFry]

I love the music that is playing while Oprah is talking. This movie seems really great so far!

[@wolfhandler]

I had the pleasure of watching Halle during several scenes of filming while they were in Southport, NC

[@hedster104]

I remember this movie well when it first came out. Interesting adaptation of the Dorothy West classic depicting a little known social group among blacks. Also saw "Jumping the Broom" with a similar theme. Couldn't help noticing how much more convincing Halle Berry and Lynn Whitfield were as "upper class" black Vineyard dwellers than Paula Patton and Angela Bassett.

[@sonjahicks1466]

Lynn Whitfield's Father is a Doctor

[@act4666]

Oh I’m a white dude from Florida and I loved Jumping The Broom!!

[@itsnoahonfire]

I agree Halle and Lynn did a wonderful job. Angela tends to over-act to me she treats every performance like theater.

[@donttalktomeyoureannoying8736]

Lynn Whitfield is extraordinarily beautiful

[@CeliniacForLife]

@@itsnoahonfire Imagine saying this bullshit about Angela Bassett.

[@charcory73]

Just finished the book last night, thanks for this :)

[@tisarcher6252]

Thanks for an awesome movie Aunt Halle. Much appreciated.

[@terencethomas7485]

Halle berry , Cynda Williams , Lynn Whitfield , 3 beauties for the price of one , introducing Dorothy Dandridge meets the Josephine Baker Story , dope shit !

[@19EHF]

Two old women who love to gossip and talk. Every neighborhood has them

[@infpseduction5710]

Lol!

[@otisroseboro2837]

Yes they do

[@NightinMadrid]

This movie has beautiful lighting,I dont know what it is but it is nice. Glad I found this movie here!

[@BA86AB]

Hatred knows no color, race, ethnicity, etc. It is everywhere; and is seen throughout the ages. The consequences are always tragic. However, there is one cure to hatred and that is love. Love always over powers hatred. I love . . . love.

[@mariateresacruz3434]

The house is beautiful😍

[@act4666]

Gotta show that house to my wife

[@camelnat]

this was such a nice movie,thanks for posting this.

[@chykim1]

[@michelegreene2905]

Thanks for the movie.

[@whydoihavetoo1]

Thank you for the upload, much appreciated :D

[@sparkl1nwat3r]

This story compelles me to want to learn more about America. I believe the country has some interesting history. As I'm not from America, I have heard many fascinating history and how much different to the country I'm living.

[@MsDisneylandlover]

guy who playing the father of the girls he is a great actor too

[@act4666]

Carl Lumbly!!!! Yeah he’s terrific.

[@rosettamarie9108]

I love this movie! It seems like real life!

[@yumiko0017]

It is for many people.

[@JamesJonesEsqq]

I recently read the book and was shock that the movie and the book are very different.

[@TheReneex]

I think the film was better!

[@act4666]

Beautiful film!!!

[@Moejojoejo]

Halle Berry such a good actress

[@MsDisneylandlover]

i will 2 that

[@TishaN4o]

1of my favorite Halle Berry movies!

[@SevenTailedWolf72]

Thanks for uploading the movie

[@cdall7354]

What song is he playing on the piano? I've always liked the song but I don't k so the name

[@TheLovelylove]

I can't believe this is on here, I just read d book and was wondering where I can see d movie. I saw it on T.V. but that was 11 years ago. Hopefully it's as good as the book!

[@LhalaluvzJanet]

I love this movie, I love Oprah, I love Halle

[@angelabrandy]

Love this movie! I had it on vhs and threw it out by accident :( been looking to buy it but cant find it so this is the next best thing. Thanks for posting!

[@lunargoddess2002]

Well, it is meant to be. I mean it is a movie. I'm from the south and it doesn't much look like that. The idea is to imagine. It is a movie. Come on. Anyway, I'm loading more as we speak. Part four is having problems loading. Please be patient.

[@milestailsprowerthefox2051]

I love this movie why is it soooo hard to get?

[@florencechristiany2556]

I love it too, but there are many aspects that you understand even better when you read the book...

[@otisroseboro2837]

Love this movie classic

[@lunargoddess2002]

@starquant Ok this book was written in the 1950's by Dorothy West. Should you get offended if this is how it was at the time? No you shouldn't. The book takes place and was written in the time that it was. Now, you are looking at it with 21st century eyes. Things were not simply this was in the mid fifties. I don't think she is done up to look like an albino. I've seen this actress in many films and she is extremely fair. Have you seen her in the Cincinnati Kid? She was blonde and fair.

[@MsDisneylandlover]

can you upload the mary thomas story

[@dalishus09]

I used to love love love this movie!

[@Kduffie1]

Great movie! Thanks Oprah!

[@MsDisneylandlover]

miss lynn great great actress

[@mizfrenchtwist]

funny , how the lady on the porch , commented on elizabeth's husband being dark.....and she's none too light , herself.........

[@devmonbar]

This movie was filmed in North Carolina.

[@WOP1967]

If you are able to put all the parts on a DVD, I would be willing to pay you for it.

[@indiansage9295]

And I think the showed the real Shelby picture in the gold frame.

[@lunargoddess2002]

@starquant The Grandmother is the matriarch of the family. That is why she is emphasized. Also, this is based on a book written by Dorothy West in the 50's. You are thinking like a person in the modern era. The idea of this book is to show how a family was and I'm hear to tell you there are quite a few upper class Black, Southern families that are and were like that. Being married to a Black man, you might know that already.

[@TheSHAISHAY]

Thanks for the upload great movie , and some people on here cant be very respectfull or greatfull

[@lunargoddess2002]

It was an Harpo films production.

[@MsKwan09]

@pheovlrom01 it is it just robably not in stores i saw it on amazon...$5-$20

[@ItsBritt91]

So can someone explain to me is the grandma white or a high yella black woman who can "pass" ?

[@janellirving4625]

The great grandma is white.

[@deborahwood9304]

You don't want to start watching this .. I got to part 11 and 2 entire sections are missing .... critical to understanding the movie .... they are here in number but actually repeat ... like part 10 is repeated in part 11 instead of part 11 picking up where part 10 leaves off .. just a mess and makes it hard to follow - I can't finish it and am looking for somewhere to actually RENT it online .. too bad cuz it's a great movie AND IT'S NOT DANIELLE STEEL'S -- IT'S THE WEDDING BY DOROTHY WEST off Oprah's top books list Steel's is VASTLY different

[@NightinMadrid]

Glad you see it that way too:)

[@Erica9993]

was this originally a hallmark miniserries?? just wondering :)

[@sandybryan3906]

I REMEMBER VISITING MY FRATERNAL GRANDMOTHER..IF MY LIGHT SKINNED SISTER WASN'T WITH ME..I HAD TO SIT ON THE PORCH 😢

[@MsDisneylandlover]

the whole notions of light vs dark

[@NjeriK95]

i can't imagine having my great great grandfather a slave owner and my great great grandmother a slave, my parents were the first from Africa.

[@NightinMadrid]

This remind me a bit of the movie 'Jumping the Broom',except its the potential groom that is scrutinized. And also the well-to do black people living in the Vineyard,so nice to see this.

[@lunargoddess2002]

@starquant Ya know, I really don't have that problem honestly. I act a fool. I told this lady that I came to return this necklace that I gave to a little girl that her parents didn't want her to have. The lady insisted rudely that I didn't get it there because she saw a different bag. She actually raised her voice to me. that is when I told her to stop talking, listen and then promptly get her manager.I don't put up with that. I have money to spend and I'll cause a stink if I don't get service.

[@tyreclarke2248]

Mykki Blanco brought me here.

[@lunargoddess2002]

@starquant You as a White person are not used to it. I am. You just lived it for a while and we live it regularly. Sure it hurts but you get over it. You don't hold on it to let you destroy you. I got over it. The people who say that stuff usually aren't the type of people who have any power. I take their power by not taking those words to heart. You, my friend, need to do the same. If every Black person got knocked down by the word Nigger then there wouldn't be a Barack Obama or Collin Powell.

[@leonierhoden3069]

oh my god! If shelby had left meade for luke i would so so hate this movie but it was good

[@kameralkutie5594]

I don’t even understand what appeal she saw in him. He was a black man with 3 biracial kids each belonging to 3 different white women. He came with too much baggage and didn’t have anything to offer besides him being black which I thought was strange.🤷🏽‍♀️ Race shouldn’t be a reason to be with someone, it should be their character and his characteristics weren’t good.

[@walterdan331]

Hey just to remind you. This is not a movie for dark-skinned blackpeople and it is not representing most black families in the US.

[@lunargoddess2002]

@starquant Yep, that would be nice. Hey, life is long and can be hard for many. I try not to worry so much about what people call me. I get mad as hell, then I let it roll off my back. Most of the people who are name calling are doing it because they are too lazy to achieve or strive for excellence. So my sentiments are fuck em. Life is too precious to waste it on fools.

[@ronwelker8]

you all remember the sensuous eric thal from samson and delilah fame?

[@TowsonTiger]

She's white. It comes about later in the movie.

[@naomibanks9654]

Hi 🤯 miss

[@naomibanks9654]

They too little to be on there own for college students we even pre.

[@lunargoddess2002]

ednoisin, please leave your filth in your mouth and not on my video. You've been blocked for being offensive.

[@SW33TI316]

he movie doesn't honor the originality of the book. Halle looks nothing like the shelby described by Dorothy West. the 3 little biracial girls don't arch the description either smh Why can't movies stay true to the books for once (rolling my eyes) its just annoying:(

[@TheReneex]

Amen! i never thought Halle was such a great actress though, her visual beauty has helped her maintain roles which could have easily gone to far better actesses without her over rated, A-list credentials such as this one!

[@89plainsman]

First lady of the family....damned she'd be to say matriarch...lol.
