- Tyrone chats with #TylerPerry about exploring the topics of colorism and passing in his new Netflix movie ‘A Jazzman’s Blues’. The film’s stars Joshua Boone and Solea Pfeiffer also discuss working with the media mogul and what they hope viewers take away from the story.

I don't think anybody really understands the hard work the Tyler Perry has done people have looked at his Fountain before and made all these different types of criticism this is a man who walked in the Hollywood and they shut the door on him they didn't care and he took the little money that he had to start out with and build an entire Empire a whole entire Empire and some of the movies before were low budget but it wasn't about the budget it was about giving the actors that he put in those movies opportunity and speaking to the audience and he has spoken to the black community better than anybody else has ever had done it
I was blown away by their performances. These are two stars in the making.
This movie was so raw and real. Tyler's best work to date!
I Saw the movie twice! The love story involving the characters Bayou and Leanne was beautifully presented. It reminded me of stories of forbidden love in classics such as Romeo & Juliet, Troilus & Cressida, and Tony & Maria of West Side Story 💕
Wonderful movie! Great idea to use actors We didn't know; very refreshing!!! This was an incredible movie, it was more than entertaining, it was truly inspirational and instructional. We take so much for granted about people and their experiences with pain. Never again will I assume people are in a good place because they look a certain way. Pain can take residence wherever a person is breathing. We should learn to appreciate all of our brethren regardless of what they look like or how they approach the life they have been given. Thanks Tyler for releasing this superior body of work. I am sure it will be therapy for so many of us and for different reasons. Keeping you on the altar. Rjpayne
I loved this movie. Tyler you did your thing on this. I didnt want the movie to end. He deserves an Oscar Emmy whatever!
I loved this movie. All the characters were excellent. Tyler hit the mark again. Great job. Loved the interview.
This work of art has been instrumental in processing current unusual pain. Tyler your vision is outstanding. The timing - impeccable. The cast - a gift.
Saw the movie and loved it. There should be a part two. What happened to Leanne and the baby, how were they treated after the fall out and was Willie Earl held accountable for what he did?
Yes there needs to be Part 2
Lol. Typical story.
It did, show what happened to Leanne and baby Johnathon watch the movie again.
I think if he did it would take away from the story in the long run

The characters in this movie drew me in because they were so powerful. It was very educational as well.
I watched 👀 this movie twice & I will watch it again
Excellent Movie...
Congratulations to Tyler Perry 👏 & the whole entire Cast...
I LOVE ❤️ THIS MOVIE SO MUCH...
Beautifully done! This is, and was a film of pure “Excellence”‼️ Congratulations to Mr. Tyler Perry, Ms. Debbie Allen, the Actors and the entire Staff and Crew‼️WELL DONE🙏🏽❤ I’ve watched it twice. May watch again after seeing this interview.
This may be Tyler Perry's best movie to date. Yea the "Madea's" are classic. But outside of that genre of film this is on top. Way to go Tyler!! This movie was fantastic and I will probably watch it again 2nite. Also the "Paper Planes" song is a masterpiece. Performed as Bayou Boyd in the movie was heart-touching, but Ruth B. made it magical. Very moving and emotional. Thank you Tyler for letting us watch this masterpiece "your baby"!!
This is now one of my favorites of Tyler Perry's collection. It's every form of emotion, with great writing.
She was amazing! He reminds me of Michael Jackson and I don’t know who that old lady was that played her in the retirement home, but that silent cry was an entire dialogue! Bravo! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
wonderful and important words spoken in this interview! Loved watching the film.
The realism, relatability and relevance is what made this film so special. Heartbreaking and entertaining is what it is.
I've watched the Movie and I don't want to watch anything else for now, it's so intense and beautiful. Thank you for teaching us
BIG THANKS to #tylerperry, #tylerperrymovies and ##tylerperrystudios for bringing such an excellent movie to the big screen. I enjoyed every minute of this movie, but I was on the edge of my seat during the movie. I was nervous as hell for Bayou and his mom. Great performances by the handsome Joshua Boone and the three beauties, Solea Pfeifer, Amirah Vann and Milauna Jackson.
Ryan Eggold and Austin Scott also gave stellar performances in their respective supporting roles. Hats off to all the actors , actresses and film crew in #jazzmansblues 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽❤️❤️
I've watched it twice - it was amazing and thought provoking. Excellent work TP
I’ve watched this incredible masterpiece movie, not only did the title of the movie A Jazz’s man Blues’ capture me from the start to finish , this movie made me watch it over and over and over and over again. I feel I’ve watched that movie already five times, and got something new every time . Tyler Perry, I cried at the end of the movie😢 every time. Why ! It was because I experience true love, I saw true love, come alive.
Tyler Perry you made true love to come alive in that movie. That was my take away. Thank you thank you thank you Tyler Perry for holding on to that masterpiece,so many years to present it in this time of space. The world needed it. I am proud of you Tyler Perry I love love love your heart your mind and your soul Tyler Perry you are extra ordinary you are truly amazing. Warmly as always Angela’Ahabah❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wonderful interview. Exceptional cast and unbelievably handsome director. I’m enthusiastic to share this film with my husband Tyler. Blessings.🫶🏾😇🥳
I ab- so-lutely love the Jazzman Blues movie!!!! Tyler, I am glad you waited years to produce this movie. Your growth in the industry in front and behind the camera shows. Your best movie. Oscar worthy just like Roots & The Color Putple. Also this movie reminded and impacted me in the same way as the Imitation of Life movie when I first watched it at eleven years old.
I also like the fact, this movie was casted with new Hollywood faces. Well done to all cast members! This movie is your game changer.
Joshua, yes, I felt something. I felt the love between these beautiful young people. As a mother, I felt the needed to protect my 'favorite' son. Lets be real, Bouyou was her favorite. Lol. As a daughter, I felt the need to check on my mother and wanting the best for my child. As a grandmother, I felt the need to tell my grandson about his father when he can maturally process the information even if he accepts it or not before passing alway. As a young woman, the heart (love) controls the mind and when you find that one person who brings you happiness, it makes you do selfish things. I get it! Save me my Knight shining amour My Prince Charming. As a sibling, I felt sorry for the brother with an addiction and learned his hatred from his father. So it's important to watch what you say and do in front of children.
So AGAIN, Joshua and Solea, I FELT every emotion from each character! You have a fan.
Mr Tyler Perry inspired me so much can't wait to work with him one day
Great movie Tyler Perry just everything about the story is realistic and the directing was fantastic. 0ne of my favorite
I salute Tyler Perry for affirming the morals and values of our Black culture in his work. While some of my people denigrate him for promoting the stereotypes of Black culture, I choose to focus on the "old school " morals and values that we used to live by. In this time of "new school " thought and action, it's rare to find the paths that we used to count on
Our cultural pillars used to be the home, school and church-these three.
There was common knowledge of and respect for these three institutions!! NO MORE!!
Morals and values of black culture??? All he has done is ignite stereo types of black people, especially black women and profit off of it.
This was a superb movie from start to finish! The actors were amazing. The storyline and cinematography were amazing as well! Tyler and cast deserves multiple awards for this movie!
What movie is this???
AWESOME interview👍🏾This movie was excellent! I'm telling family & friends who have Netflix to make sure to see it!
Beautiful movie, beautiful people, beautiful interview 🌺☀️🌸 Bravo 👏🏾
I saw this movie two times already, the first time I cried. You learn so much and I have as a college student, studied black history in the US and as a mixed black girl I understand the not completely fitting in one culture.
I have been supporting Tyler and his creative works since he started in Theater as well. I like the way he dares and conquers his craft while helping others. Kudos
AMEN TYLER 🙏PERRY
I have never been a fan of TP, however ever watching the movie on Netflix, l was completely blown away, the acting was absolutely impeccable
I watched this film. It was beautiful. Thank you Tyler! This will educate us on so many levels. It wasnt what I imagined but so much more. 💗
She’s absolutely down right beautiful ❤️
This movie deserves an Oscar
Sir Tyler Perry let it be said from this point forward!🙏🏿♥️🙏🏿✨️
💐This movie hit so close for me. My maternal grandmother and her 8 siblings’ (parents father white // mother black) born between the late 1880s to 1917 had to go through similar plights. My grandmother, to my knowledge, was the only one to marry a black man and not move up north like her siblings did. Growing up, I never knew personally but one of my great uncles and the rest was shown to us through pictures over the years. I guess they chose what was best for own survival reasons. I knew they all loved each other. My grandmother and her Sisters visited each other a lot, along with their Brothers occasionally. They’re all in Heaven now💐
💐🥰Thank you Mr. Tyler Perry … This movie is a Masterpiece. 🤗The conversation has started💯💪🏽
I learned so much from this film and keep watching just because I felt like I missed something I really learned about mixed relationships and relationships of color just because of skin tone
I really loved this morning I will look at it again.
i really enjoyed the movie I cried like a baby
I just saw the movie, it was wonderful! Thank you Mr. Perry, Well done.❤
The concept of the life of mixed race and non ambiguous people with African descent is why we should allow them their own space and stop forcing them to identify with a singular race. We're still fighting remnants of the one drop rule that needs to die.
That being said this movie touched on many issues facing the Jim Crow South but very few of them were deeply explored or fleshed out. Although it is one of TPs better works, I feel like most of the story lines fell flat with no resolution. But I may be the only one who felt this way. 🤷🏾♀️
I feel the same way too.
I too feel the same. This woman is not Black. We need to kill the 1 drop rule and be honest about our community’s affinity of whiteness and lightness while many hate the melanated skin they’re in. Aside from that, the movie was well done but could have really gone there but seemingly selected not to.
movie is well written. i diden't even realise it was tyler perrys film until end. Not much movies i can do this with but i actually watched again straight after it finishd. Funny enough another film i done that with was "Good deeds" which again was a tyler perry film. He defo deserves his flowers coz i can't think of 1 bad movie from him. And that song paper airplanes at the end by Ruth b is beautiful. Hands down best film i've seen in a while
I adore this man. Very authentic. ♥
I like the movie it made mad and sad. So true to life.
Great Movie!!!!!
The character he played byou , is so fine he's going to be the new breakout star watch if Tyler has something to do with it he will be
LOVED this movie.
Nice intervieuw beautifull Actors and so motivating to hear them speak about this journey with this movie and Tyler to ,i have not even seen the movie Yet but i believe Tyler has done it again with God His Strenght he touched the hearts of people trough this artform 📜📣
Brilliant movie loved it .
The film simply beautiful
Great interview!! 😁
Well done Tyler.
William Foster was the African-American to launch and own his own movie studio called Foster Photoplay Company in Chicago in 1910.
Great interview
I watched it two times and I am going to watch it again.
This was Tyler Perry’s best film. I really enjoyed the film
Loved this interview. My grands are mixed and can choose either side if they wanted.
Can they?...cause that's messed up!...black people definitely don't need flip floppers!!!
@@rickihosein What's messed up? Light skin black people wanted their children to be with white so they could survive. Now you see dark skin black people mixing outside of their race. It's anti- blackness
😭
Oh yes, Joshua thought he would never be anything (he quotes) - omg I think so! I would love to meet Tyler - I've said this for years - layers of fun and intelligence - what a "package"!
I loved the movie Tyler Perry is Greatness
I can't lie, Tyler is exceptional.
Love Love Love the film. So much nuance in an epic period piece.
I just watched the movie, it was amazing, Tyler Perry you are the best.
I can’t wait to watch this film. 🖤❤💛💚🖤
This video was very informative and inspiring ❤
You have my flowers Tyler, If you ever get to read this....consider the colonization story in Africa, that's an area that has never been tapped into. At least we know from black panther that accents are not a problem if the story line is beautiful.
This is another side of Tyler Perry work young love so beautiful sweet 16 sometimes is not so sweet at times Bayou one year older 17 years old
Sir Tyler Perry...so proud of you dear! Big fan. Happy Belated birthday and stay well! Keep taking your vit d, c, b complex and magnesium, exercise, hydrate, and 5 fruit or veggies a day. Monitor & log your BP. Keep bp
I really liked this movie
Great interview. ❤
I really enjoyed this tragically romantic film, I've watched it twice.
I feel like a weirdo because I've watched it 5 times i think it was so good.
Oscar worthy!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️
Thanks for this. I gotta watch this movie!
It WuZ #EPIC Yet 💔 Due 2Da #REALITIES!!
FINISHED IT LASTNIGHT BUT IT #TOOK ME {THREE DAYzZz} #2COMPLETE.
Happy #BELATED Birthday Mr. Perry.
Excellent movie!!
I enjoyed it but wanted to see more between the time Bayou was killed and what happened to Leanne and the baby after his death we know she was in a home but happened in between the years?
And what happened to willie
She was not in a home she was in the home she was living in with her husband. The same home that slapped citsy in. The house was passed down to her son and he lives there with his wife and Leanne. The black lady that was caring for her was a maid or visiting nurse.
The man reading the letters was Leannes son with bayou. He realized that after he read the letters. Thats why he goes to the front porch in shock at the end because he is a white supremacist.
@@MzCrayKray I thought so about the son. Thanks for the info
It was deeply heart wrenching and profoundly sad dark and disturbing, I had a hard time sleeping
I so agree. The last scene with the "son" on the porch pulling out to the confederate flag, especially in these times. I'm not sure if it personified what we are faced with today and or in the past. Probably both so I agree I was disturbed juxtaposed to a supposed "love story" where the Black man lost yet again. Not encouraging.
It was okay but the story was not flushed out completely. I was left with way too many questions. I just wish the story was flushed out more
I just watched this movie, I loved it.
I enjoyed it.
Beautiful movie
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 thank you I'm blessed by this movie
If it was reverse I might have watched it, but seen this story a thousand times
Picking to Live over just existing ain't pain free. This movie is Good good. It's even mad Black Feminist. Here is a woman choosing which levels of oppression she would be able to carry in her soul before her dying day. From 'Madea' to 'A Jazzman's Blues.'
I loved the movie myself
That yung man is so HANDSOME!That's a GOOD LOOKING MAN!Beautiful spirit
A brilliant and sad story both
The real question is why was the host so gun ho” about seeing a movie about a “black man with a white women”? Why was that soooo important to him?
She wasn’t a white woman, she was mixed race and passing for white in Jim Crow Amerikkka. 🙄
Her mother went to the north to pass as a white woman and used her white colored skin as an advantage in the white world to have a so called better life in society. It was dangerous back then to pass, especially get married to a white man/woman. Most of those people never stayed in touch with their family or friends for fear of being outed and killed. It was very risky for them to go back to the south , because someone may have recognized them and told on them. If that baby had any black features she & that baby would have been murdered too!
@@vetgirl71 I was speaking on what the host said in the beginning. 🙄 comprehension is key!
I love you soela and jousha Boone
Awesome
It was painful to watch as much of our history is.
current day is pretty painful & real and it's not some other man's fault
