An Oversimplification of Her Beauty

Saw this beautiful trailer on Clutch Magazine’s article “Don’t Want to See Red Tails? Support These Black Films Premiering at Sundance!”

I guarntee you’ve never seen anything quite like Terence Nance’s film An Oversimplification of Her Beauty. When a friend sent me the trailer a few weeks ago, I didn’t know what to make of the clip, but I knew I wanted to see the entire film to find out for myself. Part live-action, part-animation, the film explores one man’s quest to overcome heartbreak and love again.

everything she tells me

i immediately place

in my argument against her

proving her abusiveness

but is she?

or am i simply

placing her statements

in an abusive paradigm

ofttimes the distance between us is the Atlantic. and we are sitting right next to each other. i am not certain as to whether one of these thoughts could chart the distance to your heart. regardless, i bundle as many of my emotions as i can: thoughts chained to feelings, malnourished intentions, unspoken dimensions. as living cargo they journey to moon risen sea to your ear. many will not make it. i am shore. rations are minimal. and it is hard to maintain an emotion with minimal rations. transporting passions. middle passage. they are not willing cargo. it is I that will. but this uppercase I is rare. maybe it would be simpler to bottle them and see if they reach. but haven’t i bottled enough emotion without ever receiving a letter in return? i’ve been given two weeks notice. that’s a fortnight until we know the fate of the sun.

We sleep in the same house but it is we who have a long distance relationship

IT’S NOT LIKE I NEEDED THAT HEART OR ANYTHING

OR TO EVER BE HAPPY AGAIN

She didn’t do this. You did this.

GAHHH!!! This scene had me close to tears. Which is silly because I should’ve known what would happen, but the movie pulled me in so much that I had forgotten something that may be the most consistent element of the mythology.

Juanita: Ever since I realized there was someone called a colored girl, an evil woman, a bitch or a nag, I been trying not to be that and leave bitterness in somebody else’s cup. Come to somebody to love me without deep and nasty smelling scars from lye or being left screaming in a street full of lunatics, whispering slut, bitch, bitch…I didn’t have any of that for you. I brought you what joy I found. And I found joy. And then there’s that woman who hurt you, who you left, three or four times. And you just went back after you put my heart in the bottom of your shoe. You just walked back to where you hurt. And I didn’t have nothing. So I went to where somebody had something for me. But none of them were you…. I got a real dead loving here for you now, because I don't know anymore how to avoid my own face wet with my tears! Because I had convinced myself that Colored girls have no right to sorrow! I lived for you, but I know I did it for myself. I couldn’t stand it I couldn’t stand being sorry and Colored at the same time. It’s so redundant in the modern world.
