(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Tyler Perry thinks his movie For Coloured Girls sends out a message of hope.

The 41-year-old director and screenwriter has enjoyed an immense amount of success in the realm of cinema, having received critical acclaim for movies such as Why Did I Get Married? and Why Did I Get Married Too?

Tyler likes his films to have a profound message, and thinks his latest work, which is based on Ntozake Shanges play For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf, will teach its spectators a great deal.

These messages and things that are trying to be conveyed in this movie are not mine, they are Ntozakes, he revealed.

They are messages of strength. They are message of hope. They are messages of, 'no matter what the tragedy, get up'. And I think that as people walk out of the theatre some people will feel that.

In the film which stars actresses including Janet Jackson, Loretta Devine and Thandie Newton, the women portray characters represented in different poems.

Tyler believes skin colour is irrelevant when it comes to appreciating the movie.

I think that it is a womans journey, a womans trip and I think a lot of women, coloured girl or not, will be able to relate to a lot of things that are being said in these poems inside of this film, he added. (C) Cover Media
