The Color Purple

I decided to watch this film since I hadn’t seen it in a long time. Most of the movies in my top 200, I try to watch once a year. As I get older and my experiences change I see certain films differently. I’ve always had a connection with film, but rarely would I get emotional about a film. I remember as a kid watching the Wizard of Oz and having fear when Dorothy was carried away by the flying monkey. I remembered being scared by Blacula and Michael Myers, but it wasn’t until Less Than Zero that I could really relate to someone dying. I was a kid the first time anyone close to me had passed and it wasn’t something I had experienced before. It didn’t have a big impact on me. I would be an adult by the time anyone I had a bond with would pass away.

The Color Purple is based on the Pulitzer Prize winning book by Author Alice Walker. It brought to the surface issues that many black people just didn’t talk about.

The film received much praise and various awards. It launched the film career of Whoopi Goldberg. This is a must see film for anyone who likes movies and those fans of Whoopi Goldberg. The film was directed by Steven Spielberg who also directed the film Amistad.
