The Color Purple by Alice Walker is one of my favorite novels. The movie is one of the few times I wasn't disappointed by a movie rendition of a book. Whoppi should have won the Oscar for portraying Celie, period!

[@quanahedwards2778]

Period!

[@disconnexionsdotcom]

She was robbed!!! The movie was robbed, but she gave a master class in acting and you could never tell it was her first role.

[@Aphrael76]

Not only was Whoopi robbed but the whole movie was robbed, it should have had Best Movie, Best Actress & Actor, Best Supporting Actress & Actor as well as Best Director for Steven Spielberg

[@Tampabruh]

Same, however the movie was significantly different from the book. Character dynamics, backgrounds, etc. For example: after Celie left Mister, he'd still come to visit her at her home house on the porch and they'd wait for signs of Surge Avery coming back into town. He actually showed interests of wanting to sleep with Celie again when Surge Avery wasn't going to show back up into town anytime soon. Of course Celie shut that idea that and made it clear that anything they to do with each other in the future was STRICKLY PLATONIC! Another thing in the book it was revealed that Surge Avery had several children that she'd abandoned and left for her mother to raise! She was especially a pariah to her mother and father! The marriage between her and the happy go lucky man she'd married later on in the stories DIDNT LAST LONG AT AT. Celies's sister ended up in romantic relationship with the pastor she followed and travel to Africa after the pastor's wife had succumb to illness and dies in the story. The sister eventually marries the Pastor as well in the book! That doesn't happen in the 80's film.

[@BEG943]

Whoopi G is one of the greatest gifts to acting humanity has ever been given. Some people don’t understand how DEEP the roots and connection of the color purple go. If you have never been black and poor and from the US south there are hardly the words to express that experience in the 30s/40s. It's almost like trying to explain a descent in madness. And Whoopi captured that perfectly with her acting.

[@PrettyBlackMoney]

Yes!

[@Mike-rc4zp]

😭you funny

[@bossteamentertainment6836]

RE-QUOTE: Two books recommended by Alice Walker to read: 'The Half Has Never Been Told' by Edward E. Baptist and 'The Slave Ship' by Marcus Rediker. If you have an earnest desire to have an authentic understanding of American history and the events that shaped it these two books are keystones.

First of all, give Madame Whoopi all of her flowers!!! Highly recommend folks to watch the original film before going to see this adaptation. Also, the talk about the spiritual nature of this work is so very true. Alice Walker's book is one you have to throw across the room as you cry and then go pick it back up. I am so glad that these actors/director recognized the power of this story and approached it with the deep care.

I'm an almost 40yr old white woman, and I always remember, as a little girl-far too young (maybe 6/7) watching the Color Purple and it being one of my favourite films. I obviously didn't understand the material, but the imagery and music and the strength in this film- that I could feel as a little girl - kept me asking my mom to watch it again. I used to say 'the movie with the bloody hand print and Whoopie" (who is and was one the best actors ever in my opinion) (the imagery of that hand print stuck with me.) As a grown up- it remains of of my all time favourite films, and one of the best novels written. I usually hate when people do remakes- but I am so excited to see this new telling of it. I am sure it will do the source material justice.
