First time watching *THE COLOR PURPLE* - 1985 - reaction/review

[@kaiceeholloway8830]

If you ladies are novel fans, please consider reading this one. There are aspects of the book that Spielberg wasn't able to portray on film.

[@sarahb6163]

That's right 85 was not the original let the children know honey

[@WJones-jf8mf]

Prepare to cry. As little Black girls we watched this to learn about what it was like, but you don’t understand the severity of the situation until you’re older. I criiiiied watching as an adult. As a kid, it was just a long movie to me

[@kevinscott6976]

What I love about y’all is how y’all watch a movie for the first time and catch every detail and important part of the movie. I always have to watch a movie twice to catch certain parts lol

[@HabitualCinema]

Watching up close with headphones definitely helps with that lol

This was Oprahs first movie. It was the thing that launched her into the stratosphere. She was also in Beloved and the Butler. The Butler is a true story and worth checking out.

[@therealmarlonbellamy]

Laurence Fishburne’s first movie was Cornbread, Earl & Me. After that he was in Apocalypse Now & this movie. After this movie he was on Pee-Wee’s playhouse, A Nightmare On Elm Street The Dream Master, School Daze & King Of New York. Those are some good movies to check out.

[@carladavis1473]

Deep Cover as well. And he is to go by Larry.. later in life he change it to his government name Lawrence

[@jamalsmith5073]

Don't forget Death Wish with Jeff Goldblum. Goldblum may or may have not been in the same installment with him.

Thank you so much watching this film and exploring Black Cinema. This movie is a cultural treasure to the Black community and it brings me joy to see all cultures enjoying this masterpiece. It is also a adaptation of Alice Walker's novel The Color Purple.❤

One Of My All Time Favorite Movie's, Great Cast, Great Director, Great Movie, Great Performances By Everyone In This Movie & Great Reaction Ladies

[@strawdawgs78]

Steven Speilberg is a sadist. As harsh as The Color Purple and Schindler's List are, AMISTAD is his most difficult film to watch

[@SuccessfulOnSunset310]

@@strawdawgs78 he didn’t actually want to make this movie. He said he didn’t have the maturity or knowledge to do it Justice. Quincy Jones had to beg him

[@therealmarlonbellamy]

This is one of my favorite movies. It stayed in heavy rotation in my household growing up.

- CIDER HOUSE RULES - SEABISCUIT - DREAMER: INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY U girls will love ‘em.

[@omaridanner1254]

Wassup yall always enjoy your videos keep up the good work 😊

[@AlexisLexLexi]

In the book, Shug and Celie had a sexual relationship.

[@SourStrawberrys]

Steven Spielberg did very good translating the novel expecially for the time period of this coming out in the late 80s. In the book there was actual love scene between Shug and Ciely that was more graphic. He did a good job of still trying to incorporate the fact that there was some romance/love between Shug and Cicley despite stuff like that didn't really appear in films back then and putting them in films could get it banned.

[@qqjones5796]

❤️❤️yall should watch the movie: Men of Honor 2000

[@Chihome]

Great to see a reaction to this. Love you guys!

[@HabitualCinema]

No Laurence Fishburne first role was when he was a teenager in 1975 a TV movie name Cornbread which my stepdad had on DVD when I was young and yes he went by Larry fishburne because Larry is short for Laurence or Lawrence

[@jojoBeanz992]

Both of you are so pretty 😍 and I love the reactions

[@AllenGold-bz1ze]

Have you seen 300 or Troy? Seems to get a lot of views

[@carladavis1473]

Why isnt this on patreon?

[@HabitualCinema]

It’ll still be going to Patreon as soon as I’m able. Sorry about that. I needed to get a video edited and uploaded over here since we’d missed a week.

[@mrivera279]

Another great movie,(featuring Oprah Winfrey), worth checking out is The Women Of Brewster Place. Believe me you’ll love it.

[@danajackson332]

Another movie with Oprah acting and additional trauma is Beloved, based on the Toni Morrison novel.

@@DonaldMassey-c2i 😂 that’s great. We’ve seen Friday unfortunately but higher learning is definitely on the way

[@BlamaMan]

This is a fictional portrayal of Black Men. My Great Granddad would never😤

[@nyleac4389]

It was very real for a lot of people, despite who your great grandad was. Don’t do that.

[@Wandafully_Wanda]

Nobody said this movie was about your great grandad or about all Black men.

[@burgerrburgerr3393]

Thanks to whoever got them to watch this *WACK A* movie🙄 we’re off track now. Please hop back on track with the movie *FRESH*
