I love Dandridge but I think Judy Garland deserved that Oscar. It was a very dramatic and emotional role and she paid her dues with the film industry that abused her. They were both robbed.
@@brandynhood3928 I couldn’t agree more. But America is today a Drag Queen Kids Nation where children are dancing as drag queens and being mutilated with transgender surgery. These effeminate simps do nothing to protect children.
Each version of how Carmen dies is different. In the famous opera she is stabbed to death by Don Jose, In the 1954 adaption Carmen Jones is strangled to death when she demands him to let her go, in the 2001 Adaptation Carmen:A Hip Hopera Carmen Brown is shot to death by the dirty cop Lt. Miller and dies in Derek Hill’s arms and he is wrongly arrested for her murder
He killed her because not only did she leave him for a boxer, but also because he sacrificed his future plans such as marrying his girlfriend & becoming a pilot but instead became a fugitive on the run for her (after beating up a guy she was willingly going to take off with when he told her he was leaving for flying school) only to be left high & dry, & maybe he thought of how great his life would’ve been had he not given into her persistent advances at all in the beginning. She couldn’t handle that predicament of being, in her words, “cooped up” considering the fact that he was now a wanted man…so she sneaks off to see the boxer to receive money from him to buy groceries, nice clothes, etc. & decides to be with him upon notice of her impending death from a tarot card & wants to live the remainder of her life in the best way possible being with him considering the fact that he can provide the finer things in life, but she was still wrong for the way she did joe. These type of situations can sometimes lead you somewhere you don’t wanna be when you play with people’s minds/emotions because you don’t know how they’ll respond/react.
Carmen brought this on herself. She ruined a man’s life. She led herself to her own death. Though when he chose and killed Carmen he allowed his previous lover to walk out. He chose her more than that sweet girl he once loved and he lost her forever.
I don’t see a reason for Carmen to be blamed for her murder. Joe already had a girlfriend and knew what type of woman Carmen was. Him being freed from jail was his chance to go back to Cindy Lou and start his pilot training. He wanted someone “bold and free” like Carmen, but couldn’t handle her as she was. That’s his fault. He had a girl that would have stayed home and loved him, that wasn’t enough. No one forced him to make any of his choices. He chose to not complete his duties, run away from the military, and kill a girl that played the game better than him.
Bruh Carmen was just as foul as him.. so stop it. They was both wrong You can provoke your ex and basically laugh and say fuck his feelings why he still loves you. and after she left him for another man. Its women out here today in modern world that still act like Carmen
@@mgmboy3778 should have stayed with a nice woman like Cindy Lou then. At least Cindy Lou didn’t want to shoot her ex for leaving her for another girl. He was a great guy that turned into a terrible one because he couldn’t control his lust and anger. Not Carmen’s fault
@@lilidreams5012 like I said they was both wrong but when you in love and have obsession with someone you make that person your world... I get that Cindy still loved him . But by then his mind was all on Carmen. Carmen did him dirty and left him on his lowest and she basically treated him like broken glass an provoked him to the point to kill her so nobody wins
Halle berry did play Dorothy dandrige in the movie introducing Dorothy dandrige in one scene she did one scene as Carmen they did a good job in making the scene look like the real thing and made Halle look like the real dandrige as Carmen.
0:48 cracked me up! The way he starts singing after realizing he killed her! The fact that she had her eyes and mouth open! She probably wanted to laugh when she acted this! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe because he lost everything because of her, his woman, career, he'd killed a man and was on the run then she leaves him. I think she loved him but thought she'd die because of the cards and just wanted to be free, also she said she didn't like being cooped up. They were cooped up being on the run. It was just a horrible set of events
Im 60 and still cry over this. Lets not forget he threw away lovely Cindy Lou for Carmen. But Carmen had to die when she realised what a weak man Joe was. Somehow she was a vixen. "You go for me and I'm taboo but if you're hard to get, I'll go for you". She told him the truth early on but he thought his good looks made him special - so she had to die.
They was both wrong that's why at the end karma hit both of them Joe should have never did his wife bogus the fact that his wife came back to warn Carmen about the military looking for her fiance shows how much love she had for Joe Carmen was wrong because how she did him she did get him dirty and you can't play with someone emotions like that
They was both wrong he was wrong for doing his wife but at the same time she knew he had a wife and still being in his face. She was wrong for doing them dirty
@@marliseisrael3017Both Carmen Jones and Carmen: A Hip Hopera were movie adaptions based off the opera Carmen. There have been several movie adaptations based off Carmen and each version is different, mainly the conclusion. One of them was The Loves of Carmen where Jose stabs Carmen and he is shot and killed by a policeman.
@@TracyGJacksonTV yes I am aware of them being based off of 'Carmen' I share the same name only with a 'K' so I know the history. Ronnie Laws did a song called Karmen and I loved the song forever. ..but I did not know the name of it until a decade later... because not many deejays would say it....I did not care for the hip-hopera version and I loved Dorothy's Carmen. My Mom named me Karmen after Dorothy's Carmen and I knew about D.D. as a child way before the world was introduced to her again.
@@lionelbutler6541 Even so, in Halle Berry's Dorothy portrayal in the biopic for which Miss Berry won an Oscar, Halle did not quite capture Dorothy's omnifarious elusive ingenious, "je ne sais quoi" (French for "I don't know what," can't define, pin down, capture cognitively nor mimic) unique qualities and talents, as Dorothy's nuances, lights and depths of emotion and gesture; for example, in Dorothy's Chattanooga Choo Choo song and dance scene with the Nicholas Brothers in the 1942 film Sun Valley Serenade, Miss Dandridge's delicately syncopated shoulder, hand and wrist flutters (as she flirted with a parasol) and shoe shuffles may ultimately be induplicatable. She was sui generis, created and apotheosized in a category of her own.
a year ago a 68 year old lady was killed by her ex-boyfriend just 200 meters away from my house. I was at home that evening but I didn’t see or hear anything. I got told the next day by a guy who works at the organic food store nearby. I heard that ex-boyfriend was angry because she broke up with him, waited outside until she wanted to go out, got into a fight with her and slit her throat. 🫢😧 Unbelievable…
