The Famous Kiss that would Change the way We Kiss


OK...I love myself some Oprah BUT..the Kiss between Tea Cake and Janie that she went on and on and on and on and on about, wasn't life change at all. I was sitting there like "upm...Oprah has never been kissed before". Really!!! That kiss didn't leave a lasting impression at all. I've been kissed like that so many times. Poor Oprah..

Your thoughts?? Am I missing something here?!?!

I totally agree with ya dahinton1063, Oprah went on & on about this dumb kiss & how we all should be kissed like that at least once in our lives & blah blah blah...then I saw this infamous kiss scene & realized it was Oprahs pathetic way to get us all to watch her movie~she had to make us all think there was more to learn & know about lip-locking & peak our curiousity. The whole time I was watching this so called kiss, I thought "okay, so he is licking her face...geeee thats really something new" Frankly it was not a smooch at all but a really odd exchange of spit in a massively long lick....sensual? Yes, of course...was it amazing? A revelation? Did I learn something new? Hell no! I could have showed Oprah that move when I was a teenager...get a life Oprah,I guess Steadmans got no game.

the kiss was no big whoop. if anything, it was UN-sexy. they were licking at each other's faces like dogs. it was not hot. oprah should watch more porn, or a REAL romantic film. also i agree that steadman must suck in bed. or at least at kissing, if she thinks that kiss was so unreal.

YOU TRIED YOUR BEST AND YOU FAILED MISERABLY. THE LESSON IS, NEVER TRY.

Ok Dahinton,
I hope I got your name right there.
I TOTALLY agree with ALL you said. Yes Oprah is DEFINITELY missing out BIGTIME and you wanna know what else? Most people in this W-O-R-L-D havent a real clue when it comes to lovemaking. Now me, Im a proffessional at it, I am close to O's age and I can P-R-O-M-I-S-E you that Im not built like a ... well gigantic below the waist lets just say, its NOT about that its about being sensual and using what you have to the best of you ability and making sure that you partner is satisfied (hopefully many times) beofre you are when you are the man. I dont pat myself on the back when it comes to this stuff and I only note it so you will understand that I am NOT some kid who is clueless here nor do I claim to hold the "patent" on lovemaking, I do happen to be an EXTREMELY happy guy though and I dont think you can find a woman anywhere that has had the pleasure tell you anything different from what I am telling you here. Kissing is an art and while the kidd wasnt bad it was surely far-far-F-A-R from a smoking gun type of kiss that leaves em breathless.
So again, I TOTALLY agree with you on this kiss issue and for those shooting you down just pray for them as they are also obviously "love-challenged".

I thought the kiss was compelling and interesting.... but somewhat hyped in as much as peeps have surely kissed that way on the globe before (LOL) as a private intimate matter! But of course movies have to always have a "gimmick"! That's hollywood and expected. Thankfully there was not too much explicit sex beyond that shown...

The kiss is not a part of the novel and is not missed.... the passion between the two was conveyed without the detailed visuals.

I'll put it this way: The movie is 2 1/2 hours long, right?
What could Oprah of said to get people to continue watching ?


Something marketable and sexual: A kiss.


I saw this years ago and I remember being bored but wanted to re-watch.
It's been 40 minutes and I am still waiting to see it....40 miserable minutes hahaha.

30 minutes later: Nope, wasn't worth it.
