This film classic gets a reverse now let's find out "What do men really want?"

What Men Want debuts January 11, 2019

 It’s that age old question what do men really want?  We ask ourselves as females probably every single day. What does he want if our relationships can get  complicated, confusing, and we need more questions answered. What need or desire is that he may need or want to obtain from me every single day. It may not even be affection, sex, or material possessions. It may just be simple things like support, organization, guidance, financial advice. It could be things he’s lacking in an area of his life that may require a woman’s experience, expertise, and advice. I believe sometimes men can get a little swept up with their day to day routines being the sole provider and you start to feel like “I just need a break….or perhaps I need someone to help me with different experiences and serious moments of life.” So we are going to get into the minds of men what are they dealing with on a daily basis. Men probably feel just as much pressure as women do feel daily. They often feel the need for being attractive to be in shape, the financial pressures, status, racial pressures and struggles, family, and other issues too. One popular theme that takes place in this movie is the battle of the sexes between co-workers and executives. How does have her voice heard in the workplace? Or get a chance to be acknowledged or celebrated too?

So in comes Taraji P. Henson’s character who similar to the 2000 “What Women Want” classic which starred Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt she plays an advertising executive. She is challenged by her coworkers and is instantly thrown into a position where she gets to hear what the opposite sex is really thinking of and what they need. She receives a gift to get literally into the inner thoughts of men and what they are thinking of too.

Taraji would be brilliant in this role we have seen her transform herself into roles that are diverse and she can go from a comedic role, romantic, and dramatic role on television and films on screen. She has the ability to be an amazing character actress it’s easy to see her separate the two characters. When she becomes a new character she studies, she’s meticulous and every detail of her characters from the way they dress, their voice, how they appear on screen, and even the way they interact with the other characters. She has a way of making them larger than life and memorable. I am sure she will do the same with this role. She knows how to connect to her audience in a role and they can see themselves in the role. Whether it is playing a matronly mother as she did in the Oscar winning performance of  “The curious case of Benjamin Button”, the feisty sassy young woman caught in a love triangle like, “Baby Boy”, the overworked hardworking business-woman looking for true love in “Think Like A Man” and “Think Like A Man Too”. Or the matriarch , the music lover, protector, the fighter, the owner, and jail survivor of “Empire”. Her roles show all of her capabilities and she can do the same in “What Men Want”.
