    THE COLOR PURPLE MOVIE REACTION | 0:00 - 31:27
    THE COLOR PURPLE MOVIE REVIEW | 31:28 - 35:58
    The Color Purple Movie Description:
    An epic tale spanning forty years in the life of Celie (Whoopi Goldberg), an African-American woman living in the South who survives incredible abuse and bigotry. After Celie's abusive father marries her off to the equally debasing "Mister" Albert Johnson (Danny Glover), things go from bad to worse, leaving Celie to find companionship anywhere she can. She perseveres, holding on to her dream of one day being reunited with her sister in Africa. Based on the novel by Alice Walker.
    The Color Purple is a 1985 American coming-of-age period drama film directed by Steven Spielberg with a screenplay by Menno Meyjes, based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning 1982 novel of the same name by Alice Walker. It was Spielberg's eighth film as a director, and marked a turning point in his career as it was a departure from the summer blockbusters for which he had become known. It was also the first feature film directed by Spielberg for which John Williams did not compose the music. The film stars Danny Glover, Whoopi Goldberg, Desreta Jackson, Margaret Avery, Oprah Winfrey, Rae Dawn Chong, Willard Pugh, and Adolph Caesar in one of his final film roles.
    Filmed in Anson and Union counties in North Carolina, the film tells the story of a young African-American girl named Celie Harris and shows the problems African-American women faced during the early 20th century, including domestic violence, incest, pedophilia, poverty, racism, and sexism. Celie is transformed as she finds her self-worth through the help of two strong female companions.
    The film was a box office success, grossing $142 million against a budget of $15 million. The film received positive reviews from critics, receiving praise for its acting, direction, screenplay, musical score, and production values; but it was also criticized by some critics for being "over-sentimental" and "stereotypical". The film was nominated for eleven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actress for Goldberg, Best Supporting Actress for both Avery and Winfrey, and Best Adapted Screenplay, without winning any; it also received four Golden Globe Award nominations, with Whoopi Goldberg winning Best Actress in a Drama. Steven Spielberg did not receive an Academy Award nomination for his directing, but did receive a Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement, and a Golden Globe nomination. The film was later included in Roger Ebert's book series The Great Movies.

      And they said racism is not a problem here in the U. S. White people think that everything is black or white when it's just the experiences and perceptions that's different. It's just like Richard Pryor once said that there's no such thing as black comedy when he was asked in an interview. Paul Mooney has said the same thing. Funny is funny, music is music and so forth. It's just the experiences and perceptions. Ijs

    I watched this as a teen. It made me sob because I knew someone like Celie.
    This kind of stuff really happened and still happens. My mother's best friend was *given* to her husband at 14. Meaning her no good parents gave permission for him to marry her for some kind of compensation.
    This happened in the south too. The dude was like 40 or something.
    She hated him. Had 3 kids by him and when she became an adult my parents let her and her kids stay with us in the city. I hated it at the time because they were invading our space and we had to make room, but that's because I didn't understand she was trying to get away from him. He came and tried to get them. He was mean just like Danny Glover.
    She told him she could either go home and murder him or he could let her go. It was traumatic for me, so I cant imagine her and those kids.
    My father told him to get off our property and dont come back. She is free now, but he didnt give them anything to survive on. She started from scratch and got her own. She is a strong woman. I really admire her.

      Georgia girl here. My grandmother was basically given to my grandfather as well, just because he was the wealthiest black man in the community at the time. My grandmother had already started a relationship with another man but her family sent her to live with my grandfather anyway. He was much older, known to be a philanderer and was even accused of rape and murder before, and he was physically and sexually abusive to not only my grandmother but my aunts as well - their own children. One of my aunts had a child by him. My mother was spared form his abuse because her older sisters protected her as the youngest of the family. My grandfather also beat and nearly murdered my uncle as a teenager with a knife. My grandmother outlived that demon thankfully but she also had a history of abusing alcohol to cope with him, and eventually this caught up with her. She died way too soon.
      These legacies of trauma run deep in the black community - the legacy of debasement born from slavery. It's a deep wound that we're still trying to heal.

    The Color Purple was filmed in my hometown of Marshville, North Carolina. It was the summer of 1985 and I was 13. I would ride my bike uptown to watch them film the town scenes. They brought in tons of red dirt to cover the paved street, decorated the buildings to match the Era and even turned a light pole into what looked like a real tree. It was also very hot when they filmed. 95 plus degrees not counting the humidity. During that heat they actually made it look like the middle of winter. It looked like real ice and snow. I was lucky enough to see, Oprah, Whoopi, Glover, Fishburne and Spielberg wearing his big directors hat to keep the sun off oh him. Never forget that summer.

    It doesn't matter now many times you watch it, you still shed tears at those hard, emotional parts. This movie came out in 1985. Whoopie had blown up as an actor. everyone knew who she was. I ran into her in Tijuana out on the street and she was surrounded by so many people. I asked her what she was doing out there and she said, "Oh, just spending the day, doing a little shopping and sightseeing." I was there for the same.

It was one of the few films that made me realize just how powerful a film could actually be.

I recall being genuinely excited to watch the Oscars for the first time and really pay attention. You cannot imagine how much screaming I did at the television when it didn’t win a single award! What a travesty!
    Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I’m so glad you had a chance to experience this one.

    It's been years since I saw this movie and have watch 3 or 4 other reactions and the reunion at the end gets me every time no matter how many times I see it. I am in tears and thinking back to when I met my biological mother, sister and baby brother for the first time. I was adopted at 11 months old and didn't meet them until I was 32 and my brother at 41. Now I'm 52 and the emotion from feeling the connection is priceless. I believe anyone would get emotional watching this movie, but I think those of us that were raised away from our biological families and finally met them have a different response emotionally from familiarity of those moments. If feels like coming home and being complete, knowing who you are and where you come from.
