The symbolism in this scene is so powerful. The prodigal daughter came home and her father who had been harsh to her welcomed her with open and outstretched arms. I don’t even think Spielberg knew how powerful this scene would be. God is always trying to tell us something - we just have to keep listening. Jesus is Lord.

When they threatened to remake this movie, I wondered how they'd recapture the pure emotion of this scene. How? Should they even try, or should they just leave well enough alone? This isn't just some movie. It's the true definition of a classic, and I worry that an attempt to remake it will only sully its brilliance.

Shug also song in her father's choir before she became a juk joint jezebel in other words a HOE! AND the song (GOD IS TYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING) is one of her top songs she song in her father's choir and it was passed down to her children!! Besides shug aged over the years! So at that time she was in late 50s or early 60, and the young lady looked like she was in early 20s! That one hell of age gap to be sisters! And the one who was playing the piano was her daughter's also! And that's her father kept her away from her daughters so they wouldn't end up like her!

I cried when I first saw this movie and I never tire of watching it again and again. There are certain movies that are just perfect and this is one of them. Yet despite receiving 11 Oscar nominations, the movie was snubbed by the voters. Not one Oscar was awarded to this movie. A bigger travesty in Oscar history has never occurred.

[@Dmagetbrain]

This is a great movie and was nominated for eleven Academy Awards and didn't win a single Oscar. Even with Steven Spielberg directing this movie. Still shocks me to this very day. Big time snub not winning a single Oscar. This movie made big time money, almost 100 million dollars in 1985.
