An epic tale spanning forty years in the life of Celie (Whoopi Goldberg), an African-American woman living in the South who survives incredible abuse and bigotry.

She perseveres, holding on to her dream of one day being reunited with her sister in Africa. Based on the novel by Alice Walker.

One of my all time favorite movies. The tragedy is also that with Netty and Celie owning that farm after their mom died, Celie never had to be with Mr. in the first place. They could’ve legally kicked their “dad” to the curb.

[@jubilantsleep]

Omg I never even thought about that 😮

[@noelleparris9451]

I cry every dang time I see that reunion at the end.

[@FlixTalk]

I can't even imagine what was going on in Netties head. She looked too shocked for words. How do you even react seeing kids you never met grown now.... 😢

[@mairarodriguez1525]

Me too..😢😢❤

[@intodaysepisode...]

This movie was released a year before I was born BUT this movie was a staple at all of my family members' home. I ALWAYS cry when Shug returns to church, and sings from her soul!

[@mairarodriguez1525]

Yes!!!❤

[@DCKINGVDAGOAT]

This movie is the "Gone With The Wind" of the Black community. So glad you reviewed it. Super Props. SUBSCRIBED

[@FlixTalk]

Thanks for watching! Welcome to the channel

[@tiffanyhill-rice5126]

i love that you fought to keep this up.

[@FlixTalk]

You know what's crazy...they might keep it up after months then block it without even telling me.. I had to go through my older videos and discover the block by accident...I was pissed...people are still gonna watch these movies ya know. They need to really change stuff with these blocks

[@craigpacker7171]

I saw your original reaction to this before it was taken down. Was happy to watch it again because I remembered how compelling YOUR reaction was. Thank you for being committed to keeping this reaction alive. I wish more people reacted to it. I still believe the "Maybe God is Tryin' to Tell You Somethin'" scene when Shug reconciles with her father is one of the greatest moments in cinematic history. Remember when Celie was combing Shug's hair in the bathtub shortly after Shug arrived the first time? Shug talks about how her father loves her--he just doesn't know it. During that song, he remembers. It's beautiful.

[@FlixTalk]

Ahh thanks...I try my best to put out my genuine self to really good movies...it sucks they are so restrictive

[@craigpacker7171]

@@FlixTalk I appreciate your willingness to make the extra effort to navigate KZbin and copyright fuckery.

[@chelliebean5773]

Written by Alice Walker, this was required reading when I went to school. We learned all about the various black authors and reading their books was a must. I think Spielberg did a good job bring it to film. But the book was a rough read. Sadly girls were married off young and some black men, not all were marred mentally. This is just a sample of some men, but not all. But women and blacks in general life was hard, but still rise like a Phoenix despite oppression.

[@Me-wk3ix]

I wish it had been required at my school, it's a wonderful book.

[@iamthecoldest]

Damn yall lucky I wish it was requirex at my school

[@mairarodriguez1525]

I was just thinking that. I haven't read it yet but I need to prepare mentally. Danny Glover was my high school graduation speaker. He's a great actor cuz I wanted to bust his face and his father's face. The cast was phenomenal. Spielberg did that. And to the Alice Walker..thank you.

[@Divamarja_CA]

I saw this movie on opening day, with my family. And I have to say that we all were happy that Celie found a modicum of happiness and acceptance (and pleasure) with Shug. It opened her eyes to a sliver of a chance of another life.

[@mamakat114]

I loved this reaction from you. Especially the happy tears at the end. As a DV/SV Survivor myself I send big MamaKat hugs to you for being a gentleman ❤

[@kimmyfreak200]

fried green tomatoes is another good movie...i still love the sound score

[@randomlibra]

My favorite movie. Hands down. Ever.

[@rumseyh]

Great movie review, Fix! As a person, who saw TCP, in the movie theater, live in 1985 when it 1st premiered... I am happy that younger "1st time" viewers such as yourself, also enjoyed this classic movie. (The fact that... although nominated for 11 Academy Awards that year... but this movie "won" not even 1 award, let's you realize how "things" were going down... in 1985-86! (As if... any actor in the Female category... could've deserved an award MORE, than Whoopie Goldberg's performance in a leading role, as "Celie!" C'mon now lol. But that was then... and this is now. As long as the movie exists, people will forever know and honor its existence... as one of the greatest movies of all time! (Or at least... the greatest movie, nominated for 11 Academy Awards... without winning 'nere 1!

[@joellenglass2344]

I bet you wasn’t ready for this one! One of my favorite movies about resilience.

[@pobstrel]

The book is even more upsetting.

[@jjjones8609]

I stopped reading the book. The diary entries were filled with so much hate and disdain that I couldn’t finish it.

[@aaronb4493]

You need to read the book!

[@michellelaguerre8760]

I read the book before it became a movie to me her writing letters to God really had a big impact on me

[@mamakat114]

A Purple Rain T-Shirt to this 58 year old is far from cheesy. Looking forward to this reaction. One of my all time favorites.

[@tblack6974]

I cry everytime I watch this show. But hear me out guys.... unfortunately Mister was a product of a nasty, ugly cycle that his dad created. A family dynamic that he tried to pass on to Harpo as well. It was all around sad. Mister was a horrible person but he did right in the end. The crazy part is I cry harder for him in the end....because he did good and possible broke the cycle and no one knew, but Shug. It gets me every time that he could push pass everything to do the right thing.

[@PaigeWashington-q2k]

it so sad. being from and living in georgia, you know the stories. black men were made to keep their women in check back in slavery days because the Men would sometimes get beat in their place. It is generational and a whole Lot of black families Still suffer from this passed down trauma

[@88happiness]

Sophia's story just breaks my heart.😢

[@ericpatterson5050]

This movie is So Good and very much Heart Breaking. 🎬🙌🏿👏🏾😥😥💜💜💜

[@FlixTalk]

Agreed...a classic...hope they don't take it down again...

[@brianmatthews1736]

Most people don't catch that the immigration letter to try to get Nettie, Celie's kids, and Celie's daughter-in-law to the United States came right after Albert (Mister), heard Shug in the church singing "God's trying to tell you something"....Mister got the message...

[@mikemorse17]

I turned 14 in October of 1985, I had already seen the first 5 Friday the 13th movies by the time you were born, now I officially feel old, still love your channel bro.

[@Faisaluvs]

THANKS FOR THIS REACTION. I HOPE YOU ALL KNOW THIS MOVIE IS BASED ON A VERY POPULAR BOOK BY ALICE WALKER.

[@kimmyfreak200]

masterpiece...period..i'll never watch the remake

[@randomlibra]

It was a let down.

[@torontomame]

It's not a remake. A stage musical was made based on the same book this movie was. Then a movie was made of the stage musical.

[@randomlibra]

@@torontomame and it wasn't good

[@cynthiatolbert51]

I enjoyed your reaction to this movie. It was hard seeing Danny Glover as a bad guy. If you want to react to another movie where he plays a bad guy, Check out the movie "Witness" It also stars Harrison Ford.

[@PaigeWashington-q2k]

I would consider Corrina Corrina a more dramatic role. Loved that one with Ray Liotta. Whoopi could do no wrong in the 90s.

[@CosmicVagabondPixie]

Thank YOU **Flix** One of my ALL time luvd films ever just **Beautiful**

[@soulserene66]

Please react to Claudine! I think it was 1974, starring James Earl Jones and Diahann Carroll, as well as others I'm sure you'll recognize. A single mother in New York on welfare, going through the trials n tribulations of being a maid and trying to make a relationship work, while raising her young teens and adolescent children. One of the baddest soundtracks in cinema in my opinion. It's funny, heartwarming, and slick, all rolled in one. Check it out.😊

[@jubilantsleep]

Thanks for your reaction and review, fellow 80s millennial! ❤

[@Arrakis191]

You should check out the 1959 version of Imitation off Life. Your take on it would be interesting.

[@joellenglass2344]

You should watch the Queen miniseries with Halle Berry, Tim Daly and Danny Glover

[@chelliebean5773]

The pastor is Shug's father.

[@Marcus_1001]

One of my top 10 favorite films of all time!! My friends and I have been quoting this movie for years. Also, RIGHT ON at 27:47!! UUUUUUUUUUUUUGH, Ms. Millie!! I hate that b i t c h with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns. Of all the despicable people in this film, I hate her the most.

[@marshalljankins4526]

Great reaction. God bless your spirit Sir....

[@nikkisatchel4699]

most folks who went to see it, already read the book, especially females...the movies stayed packed out for like 2mo, especially in atlanta

[@stephenanderson1594]

The saddest part about this movie the themes of racism, sexism, colonialism, toxic marriages, dysfunctional families, and personal despair in this movie still exist in 2024

[@missyhairston728]

ive seen this movie too many times to still be crying

[@ticsies4228]

Hooo yeah !!! Nice vídeo REACTION!!!! I recomend you to watch and react THE BEAR 1988 ( this movie IS AMAZING you will enjoey it ) at the end explain why the movie was done REGARDS!!!

[@solomoon3083]

He didn’t make the cookies sweetie. This film and book take a lot of internal stuff to understand. About MANY things we see today.

[@61henry]

Danny Glover in Lonesome dove 1989

[@aaronb4493]

One of the best movies ever!!!

[@user-rn8lc1oo2k]

Look at The Associate with Whoopi !!!!! Look at Silverado with Glover. !!!!!

[@tedd-ivan]

love you ❤

[@legail1]

Its the same way with music ...music today is trash but the old school has life and energy in it .

[@RomansAlterEgo]

That dinner scene was not on script. Oprah did that off the top of her head

[@ClaireRedfieldKennedy-ld2lx]

This town needs Chris Hansen so badly!

[@ELog6300]

Oprah has another movie from 1997 called "Beloved"....it will trip you out...a lot of history and also its really spooky

[@Anime_no_joō]

I watch it one and I said never again. I can't even remember what it was about but I remember telling myself never again.

[@mandarinclemmie]

Oh honey I don't think a redemption arc means what you think it means...

[@BellaR.]

My favorite movie 🎥 ever ❤

[@88happiness]

Stephen Spielberg didn't want to do the movie at first, as a white man. But Quincy Jones talked him into it. Danny Glover struggled playing such a horrible person.

[@mindbegone]

The book is a very great read to such a horrible story
