I’m 41 now. I watched this film as a young child and have watched it thousands of time since. The first film to make me cry and no matter how many years later I watched - would still cry (the return of her sister/children scene). This film touched me. Touches me and as I write this I will declare this is in my top ten film of all time . Each time I watch I’m at a different age/stage in life and I see/feel different themes-messages - an historical visual document which I hope inspires so much more for many years to come.

[@lokeylady25]

….. I’m 42 and my daughter, who’s 18, and I watched it for the first time(together) last night. I of course have seen it a million times but the older I get the more I get from it or see something I missed when I was younger. I still get emotional also. We plan on seeing the new version today.

[@upskill46]

I felt the same way I grew up watching this as a child but , now as a 41 year old woman with life experience.. the story resonates differently and deeply. I enjoyed the reimagined version . They did an excellent job

It was on a family night with my parents, sister, and first boyfriend. I cried so hard during the movie and I was furious with Danny Glover himself because I thought sure that couldn't be just acting. 😮😅 Years later and this is still my favorite movie.

[@cleopatrabonz]

@@CraftingGuidelines I don’t agree. Rae has always been that way, she always thought she was entitled because of her father Tommy Chong..she said nasty things about Oprah’s weight and looks, I’m quite sure Oprah would never say those terrible things about her.

[@CraftingGuidelines]

@@cleopatrabonz I do not know Rae personally but that wasn't an entitled situation privilege between her & Oprah. She did not treat the other cast members like she treated Oprah. She was wrong for talking about Oprah's weight and looks. Oprah's punchline put a stop to that. I do know ppl do not treat ppl like that for no reason at all. The common denominator aka the truth hanging around there somewhere.

[@shaliacampbell3709]

Watching this reunion I immediately remember being a child watching it with my Grandmother and Grandaddy. My Grandaddy love this movie and would tear up at the end of the movie. The scene when the guys are building the railroad tracks and the foreman is singing to keep them digging at the same time. My Granddaddy would tap his feet and smile at that part. The Celie character had to endure so much verbal and physical abuse. I remember wondering why doesn't she run away with her sister. Leave Mr. who obviously doesn't love her. She had such low self esteem she couldn't seem to make that first step. I felt her pain all those years she was miserable she felt like she had no where to go she was stuck. God bless all these people who made these beautiful characters come to life. I miss my Grandparents so much especially around the holiday season I would give anything to see my Grandaddy smile and sing along one more time.
