THE COLOR PURPLE | Taraji P. Henson in “Push Da Button” Clip - In Theaters Now

See #TheColorPurple now playing only in theaters. fandan.co/TheColorPurple
Warner Bros. Pictures invites you to experience “The Color Purple.” Produced by Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Scott Sanders and Quincy Jones, the film is a bold new take on the classic story of love and resilience, adapted from the beloved novel and the Broadway musical.
Torn apart from her sister Nettie (Halle Bailey) and her children, Celie (Fantasia Barrino in her major motion picture debut, reprising her 2005 role from Broadway) faces many hardships in her life, including an abusive husband simply called Mister (Colman Domingo). With the support of sultry singer Shug Avery (Taraji P. Henson) and stand-her-ground stepdaughter Sofia (Danielle Brooks, Tony-nominated for the role on Broadway), Celie ultimately finds extraordinary strength in the unbreakable bonds of a new kind of sisterhood.
“The Color Purple” is directed by Blitz Bazawule from a screenplay by acclaimed playwright and WGA Award winner Marcus Gardley (“The Maid”).

And this is why they need to pay Taraji what she’s due cause she completely captivates you. My mouth was wide open during this scene cause I was so shocked by all the talent this woman holds within herself. I love Taraji ❤❤❤

⁠@@krimsonedit3272You and you opinion are the only thing that’s old and tired. Taraji is a queen on screen and absolutely deserves her dues. You saying that is completely random and wild. She’ll always be great, but maybe the reason you can’t see that is you have no taste.

[@Music45387]

🤩 The fact that Taraji was actually floating through a real drained swamp and not cgi is just 👌🏽

[@moorechristopher873]

And using her own vocals

[@Suavay5]

It’s not a drained swamp it was real swamp in Savannah ga. Between Savannah & Brunswick

[@injeniuskreationz]

The director said they drained what was there before and refilled it everyday or so it looked even in every scene. ​@Suavay5

@@SalemGurl8701they’re not talking about the singing, they’re talking about how Taraji actually done this scene in a real swamp on a boat and not on cgi, considering how many movies nowadays would use cgi to film the scenes to avoid any accidents to happen during filming.

Taraji was at her ABSOLUTE BEST in this movie. She gave everything and more! She deserves the compensation she is requesting.

I have never saw her do a bad job in any movie. Benjamin Button she was amazing, and that TV show. I thought managers were responsible for negotiating their contract.

I remember watching the 1985 Shug Avery and being taken in by her beauty and attitude. Then I saw this, and I swear I was speechless. She brought a whole new light on Shug Avery, and OMG that entrance is the best!!! They stuck pretty close to Shugs original dress, but this took it a step further and... wow. I caught myself singing this all day today. Red is a color that commands respect and attention here. OH and to see her walk right past Mister and go right up to Celie was the best end to this scene!!!

[@janb92]

This is why she’s one of my favs. Never gives anything but her best in all of her performances.

She should have been using her actual vocals in all the prior work! What an incredible performance. Great job Taraji. I for one am excited for all your future successes, just as I was for all your previous successes. So proud of this woman. And even better, she's beautiful inside and out.

IMO Taraji was the STAR of this film. Danielle is getting all the buzz because of Broadway but Shug has A LOT of juicy screen time and lots of songs. And Taraji DELIVERS. Blew me away… missed her when she wasn’t on screen. She should be in the Oscar conversation for sure.

[@cognitivedissonancechristi516]

Stop it! Now here you go cranking up more mess. Just stop it! First of all, if it wasn't for Oprah, we would not be witnessing Taraji showcasing more gifts as she is now. It's because of Oprah that Taraji got more pay when Taraji wanted her to ask the studio executives for more pay and its because of Oprah that this entire production was brought to life and so many black people were employed to be part of such a great production. So, just stop kicking up mess!
