  • Ive seen this movie dozens of times and it still makes me cry.

  • shug and her daughter look alike and they both have beautiful voices

  • what was the actress name that played shug's daughter .... the one who started singing gods trying to tell you something

  • EVERYBODY got saved that day!

  • "God is trying to tell you somethin'!"

    My favorite par of the movie =)

  • I've always loved Shug's yellow dress,..very pretty.

  • How could this man call himself a minister when he couldn't forgive his own daughter?

  • @Yomalex3 No he was sitting there and smiling, because he could hear the choir and then he could he hear Shug singing along. He liked that. Church music always give you a good feeling, that's why he was smiling.

  • @ChicagoTyme2 What does that have to do with my question? All through the movie Shug kept trying to talk to him and he ignores her. How could he call himself a minister if he can't forgive his daughter? It isn't till the end that he finally does.

  • @Yomalex3 Ah hell, you wasn't the one I was replying to. I was trying to reply to mandenkind. My comp was freezing and unfreezing yesterday, and I guess I clicked on you by accident. Sorry.

  • I never fully got it: Is Mister sitting there and smiling, because he had something to do with Shug and her father forgiving her?

  • even sinners have souls can be applied directly to mister

  • I love the singing part :) so cute

  • @neek313435 Everyone just wanna be loved.

  • could the girl who was singing be her daughter o.O?....she did after all say her children live with her parents if saw what an even more touching scene :).

  • This part where her dad is finally moved to forgive his daughter...after all those years, the little girl inside of her longed to be loved by her daddy. That's why she went from man to man, seeking that love that only her dad could give her...that part and the part where Adam and Olivia greets their mother in African language makes me want to fall over bawling in tears. It's so touching!

  • 4:55 did she suddenly become a man?? wtf is up with that deep voice. lol.

  • according to the movie, in 1909 she was 14. 25 years later which is 1934 she should be 39 right? so why in the world does she look super old??? like shes going on 50??

  • @myuhdidas well for one reason,back then people aged alot harder and quicker then they do now,and you add on the abuse..yeah she probually would look 60 when she's only 39

  • this movie didn't get the nomination it deserved they didn't get the awards they deserved this movie is so emotional

  • @ALIEYFOREVER The movie got about 11 nominations if my memory serves me. The fact that it didn't WIN a single Oscar was pretty sad. Whoopie deserved an Oscar for this, not Ghost. I think the Ghost Oscar was the academy trying to make amends. But that's just my opinion. :-)

  • @jjdubs Whoopi said she earned her oscar for Ghost because of Patrick Swayze. That he said he couldn't imagine anyone for the role but her. And at that time, if I remember correctly, I think he kind of made the Oscars feel shamed that Whoopi never won for her role in The Color Purple. A lot of people felt that way.

  • The part where Shug's father hugs her back gets me crying every time.

    Magnificent this movie is.

  • I love this movie and thanks so much for posting it. So moving. <3

  • Shug: I think it pisses God off when you walk by the colour purple in a field and don't notice it.

    Celie: You saying it just wanna be loved like it say in the bible?

    Shug: Yeah, Celie. Everything wanna be loved. Us sing and dance, and holla just wanting to be loved. Look at them trees. Notice how the trees do everything people do to get attention... except walk? Oh, Miss Celie, I feels like singing!

  • I hate it when she look s at the camera idk why

  • 0:53-0:56 Shake that Shimmy girl! Shake it!!!

  • 1:42 no you did NOT try to wave at me!

  • THIS MOVIE HAS SO MUCH HEART

  • 0:45 - 0:55 is THE BEST. :D

    

  • awwww woppi looked so cute 00:42- 0049 lol

  • to me the most pure love is created by forgiveness..this movie proves that more than once. i love it.

  • this part confuses me. Is the woman in the pew her mother?? And is the girl in the choir her daughter?? idk. lol.

  • @jeffcityjays11 ROFL I JUST posted this on my facebook page and speculated the SAME THING!

    That's what we used to say when we were kids that that was her mother and the girl was her daughter, singing the same song as she USED to but not doing as good of a job.

    THAT'S NOT SPECULATED IN THE BOOK OR THE MOVIE, JEFF!!

    What's WRONG with us?! rofl

    I declare, therefore, that this be considered the TRUTH of whats going on, lol.

  • @jeffcityjays11 I'm pretty sure that the woman in the pew, is the preacher's wife. Not, Shug's mother. The girl in the choir, is just a girl in the choir :p

  • @CuddlyCorey4Ever but isnt the preacher shug's father? lol. so wouldnt that make sense that it be her mother?

    you could be right about the daughter. . . . just piecing stuff together.

  • @jeffcityjays11 and also in a previous scene shug says that her kids are with her ma and pa. . .

  • @CuddlyCorey4Ever

    Speaking of the girl in the choir, what a great voice, but am I the only one who thought that when Shug first started singing, she was thinking to herself, " How in the world do I deal with this, and why is she taking my solo? From the road? Across the brook no less?"

  • kind of reminds me terence trent d'arby; the prodigal cause his daddy is a preacher.

  • i think personally her pop was aasshhooollee the whole movie........

  • shug maintained a fat butt hmmmm for a loooonnngg time............lol 

  • You could just cry to the fact that her father accepted her back :(...

    I missed this song.

  • Funny how a preacher's daughter being the most wildest of the bunch is pretty damn true in this movie.

  • This part of the movie tells what the color purple means....it means it just wanna be loved! Jus like Celie

  • i know i mid be the only one,but i feel sorry for albert...he was horroble i know,but stil..maby its because i like dany glover so much....

  • The ones that hurt you the most miss you the most..

  • @kendpark That is so true...

  • I don't get the speak to me scene. Someone explain please.

  • @UchihaSurvivor360 The scene in which you are referring to , that Shug comes to her father's church and tells him that she is a sinner and she is asking for his forgiveness for her life the way she lived , like a whore more or less, and that young woman that looks while they are singing in the choir is her daughter, that she had out of wedlock, so that is what this scene is about , i love this scene, thx for asking

  • were all the color purple if you think about it

  • That was Shug singing. That's why she was picked for the part. If you read her bio it says that she is an actress and singer.

  • @Cuseshorty87

    Shug's parts were sung by a lady named Tata Vega. Not the actress who played shug.

  • @Cuseshorty87 if you read the credits of the movie you will see that tata vega singing the songs for shug.

  • OMG! "see daddy, sinners have a song too." whoa, that just made me cry!

  • @Elizabeth7395 I thought it was, "See daddy, sinners have soul too." ??????

  • So the lady that played Shug was lipsinging in this movie? it's not her voice?

  • @cat419 jiu

  • @mscandice25 what?

  • I still can't believe that this movie did not win at least 1 of the 11 Oscars it was nominated for. It seems like such an injustice. :(

  • I Love when Shug sings!!! She has a great voice!!! <3

  • the color purple : )

  • I love gospel! I think I'd be more inclined to believe in God if I could go to a black church :)

  • Shug got her daddy back.

  • I love this whole scene. Her dad wanted them to sing, 'God is trying to tell you something', so the sinners would learn a lesson, but what he got, & wasn't too proud, to recognize, was that God was trying to tell him something too.' You can't sleep at night', gets me every time...this scene is the 1 movie scene, that always makes me cry.

  • @2dodie0 everytime no matter that ive seen it 100's of times i cry

  • I've seen this movie @ least 30 times over the yrs, but it makes me cry everytime!

  • makes me cry every time

  • Speak lord speak to me

  • OMG lawrence fishburne was HOT

  • Sinners have song too!

  • @Mspendragon1972 its "see daddy sinners have soul too"

  • awwww. Beautiful hug toward the end!

  • Is the woman in the choir supposed to Suge's daughter?

  • @summerbaby727 idont think so since shug is older. ithink maybe her sister? i havnt read the book so idont know.

  • @summerbaby727 o nvm i thought your comment said mother

  • This is the best scene! The moment I wait for, such a relief to see Celie able to live life. I mean it was already bad being slaves, but to be slaved by your own kind is sad. The nerve of MR. And Shug really loved her dad. He love her as well, but he was so hurt in the way she turned out. Doing things he never imagined she'd do. It hurt him, and that made it hard for him to face her. But you can sense he was very vunerable and want his lil girl back. The tough image is a hard role to play.

  • y'all know it's serious when ol' girl came down from the choir stand ready to sang it. lol

  • I can remember watching this with my brother, sister, mother and especially grandmother and just rewinding this part over and over and singing along to it. My grandmother loved it and so did we. She passed away last year, but watching this scene is always a great memory for me.

  • iv strugled with my spirit my whole life like she did,my pa is a baptist preacher but i webt the other way along time ago and have regretted it my whole life

  • This movie is powerful. It makes Mr seem like a total asshole but in the book he is TOTALLY different. I think there is even a scene where he wears a dress while he and shug do it. I think he just could not tell his dad whatfor. Always wondered what Mr.s mom went through.

  • how could their voices projects soo loud?

  • one of the best lines in the movie in my opinion "see daddy, sinner's have soul too." goose bumps each and every time!

  • .35...that girl was too glad to be rid of that old man

  • shug sister can sing her ass off this part is feilded wit so much emotion ans est... omg its so powerful

  • @shezymac that was her sister ?

    wow

  • @Lilin1989 I think it's her daughter!!

  • @Lilin1989 no thats her daughter remember at the beginning of the movie she said her kids were with her momma and daddy.

  • I love how none of the other choir people just go along with whoever is singing lead!!!!!!!!!!!

  • E.T was sad Bull! my cousin cried this movie made me cry rivers unashamed! I'll always feel a special heart tear when this movie is watched!

  • i dang near cried when she hugged her and and he hugged her back.. i couldnt imagine not speakn to my daddy.. and he is a pastor as well.. my very bff..

  • Im still on this. I cant stop, week after week. I dont know if there is a god or not. But if there is a god, then hes tryin to come at me wit this song. And its only a matter of time. LOL. I hope im not sounding corney. Lol.

  • SING IT SUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Go 'head Celie! She left that deadbeat, fixed herself up, finally got a home of her own and a business. It took so long but she finally got her happiness. It's just a shame she had to go through all that horror. I guess you don't recognize and appreciate the good unless you go through the bad.

  • Goosebumps!

  • *SNIFFLE*!

  • BOY DAT CHURCH IS ROCKIN !!!!!! NUF SED.

  • Ms. Celie came up, Nice home, owning her own business, "you go Celie"!!! Now look at Mister. He looked old, house is runned down, animals are not attended to, inside of house is nasty and filthy. See God don't like ugly!!!!

  • this makes makes me cry every time... i love everything about this scene...

  • Albert keeps his money in the chicken coop! lol

  • i hate the fact that out of africa won instead of this inspiring, tear-jerker, beautiful movie. and everything they say is right. everything does want to be loved :)

  • God this movie is just a classic thats all i can say. the singing made me want to cry damn did she really sing her soul out.

  • "I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field and don't notice it." - Breathtaking.

  • see daddy sinners have song too...

  • The pastor was speaking about prodigal children and Shug came back. Awesome!!!!

  • They really show the ageing well in the movie and i love that part when Shug starts singing along with the gospel, both the womens voices are beautiful

  • she is really singing it, she's an actual singer. great scene :)

  • @kacn28 Tata Vega sung most of it. When we hear Shug singing the last few notes of 'Sister' that's her real voice.

  • Out of Africa won the oscar that year.

    Geraldine Page won for The Trip to Bountiful instead of Whoopi.

    Anjelica Huston won the supporting award for Prizzi's Honor instead of Oprah

  • is that really her singing

  • @PIMPMYBO yea it was her sing.

  • OH THIS IS GREAT!!! God is tryin to tell u somethin!!!! WOOHOO!

  • what did win the oscar that year?

  • @wiggumoe Out of Africa.

  • my favorite part of the whole movie

  • i lvv it black folk goin to to church

  • It was all about the power with him.. and when he had it ripped from him.. he realized what he did wrong. I take my hat off to him for making up for it. Or trying to.

  • he fahnly done raht bah huh.

    but the motivation was not internal, it was through superstitious fear.

  • 7:34 They're gettin hyphy in the background

  • "AHHH! CHA CHA CHA CHA CHA !"

  • best movie ever ever

  • the "pa"'s wife is kind. she couldve kept the house to herself and never tell celie it really belonged to her. after all those years she shouldve deserved to know the truth about her pa. and lived free by herself and her sister and everything wouldve been fine

  • Ain't it something how we can go through life doing the wrong things over and over. We could be old by the time we began to realize what we were meant for and what is to live for if not to see the error of our ways when we are young enough to undo the wrong and start with the right.

  • I always wondered, was the soloist in the church Shugs sister?

  • @Swashbuckler

    no its not her sister its her daughter.

  • @ssnur I also thought of her as her younger sister.The good girl that didnt run wild.Adds even more drama to the scene.His face when he saw Shug coming was priceless.

  • Shug took her solo from down by the jook joint! Talk about vocals!!!

  • @Lickdaddy79

    amen

  • avery acted that part so perfect, makes you really feel that she is really singing it. and the look whoopi gave when shug hugged her daddy, although happy for her, you could see the anguish on her face for her not seeing her sister or kids. the acting on here was superb

  • @gooddog6869 she was really singin it shes a gospel singer as well as an actress

  • @blueyedmoon81 she may be a gospel singer but that is not her voice while singing in the movie. the singing belongs to tata vega. try going to the credits and seeing for yourself.

  • cha cha cha cha chacha! yes haha makes me laugh that bit

  • I LOVE THIS.......god is turning her material life around!!!!

  • The Lord shook her

  • she amped out on this shit one of the only parts in a movie tears ever came down

  • One of the best movies I've ever seen! Steven Spielberg really did it in this movie! This scene always has me crying!

  • Sr Spielberg es usted un maldito cabrón!!!.

    Un millón gracias por sus cabronadas.

  • Por qu ele dice usted cabron a Spielberg

    Sr. "ADANARNO"...,me ha dejado usted con su comentario0 "boquiabierto", creame....

  • Hola Londy42. Todo depende del lugar del mundo donde se exprese el castellano. Esta es, ciertamente, una expresión muy vulgar pero a su vez rotunda para expresar la grandeza artistica del señor Spielberg. No lo entienda como un insulto...todo lo contrario. Siento haberle creado tal confusión pero a veces el lenguaje de la calle conduce a eso.

    Que tenga un buen día.

    Saludos desde el sur de España

  • Ah bueno!!...,ja,ja,que alivio !,ahora soy yo,en ese caso el que se disculpa por mi mala interpretacion.Imaginese,yo soy de Cuba,y alla esa palabra tiene muy mala connotacion,igual que su otra equivalente

    ....."cabronada".....Ja,ja,me disculpo nuevamente mi incorrecta apreciacion del termino.

    Oigame "ADANARNO",y hablando de otra cosa,es usted andaluz?,de que parte?, quiero decir,de que ciudad?....yo soy de la Habana,la capital cubana,pero llevo casi 9 años viviendo fuera de alli.....

  • shug took it 2 church in this scene

  • i love the old gospel!!

  • if you could seriously hear one person sing that far away while your hearing everybody sing in a choir....that would be awesome.

  • so yes, the film is sentimental and quite daft. but very moving. suffering is suffering, and this woman suffered....she deserved happiness.

    i love a good story.

  • Shoot, Celie ended up with swag at the end, huh? lol

  • Yes, sing the praises of that imposed religion, one song fixes it all! YOU GO GIRL!

  • that religion is what saved them.

  • My favorite part of the whole movie :) sing that song shug.

  • now THAT'S a homecoming!!!!

  • HERE COME THE WATERWORKS

  • i love the part wen shug says see daddy sinner have souls 2 n he hugs her dat part amkes me cry every time its so emotional n deep u can actually feel the energy in the room

  • the book was soo much better

  • is that girl singing in the church shugs daughter i think so cuz she has children that ur daddy and mommy raised

  • I was always under that impression. Her age and her being the lead soloist in the choir seems to imply that.

  • Yeah I believe so that would be the logical thing, in the book it s gives a better understanding I most def have to read.

  • this is a great movie, glad i finally watched it

  • Actually in my humble opinion the only thing the movie misses that was covered in the book in greater detail would be the bisexual relationship between Celie and Shug. I think it is obvious why that is down played in this movie given the time it was released.  It would not have been recieved in the same warm light that it was. It is too bad though.

  • That's what i was thinking.

  • I totally agree. I just finished the book and I was surprised to read about Celie and Shug's lesbian relationship. The movie barely touches on their relationship to the extent of the book. But the movie and the book was great.

  • Yeah definitely

  • "See Daddy? Sinners have soul too."

    Ach, that part always makes me cry. I love Sug. :-)

  • that's her dad?

  • Whenever someone sings about GOD it makes me want to cry...Its so beautiful...

  • amen

  • bout time he did a good deed and stop slappin on people and fuckin people

  • WTF?! Yes, this is a good film, but it completely misses the point of the book. Stupid fucking religous Americans.

  • what point did it miss?

  • I WILL ALWAYS LOVE THIS MOVIE

  • that was so sweet that her dad finally huged her.and her daughter looked so happy to.

  • Shug had a daughter?

  • Comment removed

  • in the book, it was written that Mr. and Shug had four children together...not sure if the woman in the choir is supposed to be her daughter, but the way she smiled at Shug when she came in the church, it would make sense..and what a beautiful singing voice that girl has, too!!!

  • Thanks. :)

  • Wow, I never thought about that being Shug's daugther. It certainly does make sense!

  • oh, i was thinking about that too!

    but i wonder how did two of them raise the children?

  • so i'm rewatching this scene... best scene ever!!!!

  • Sing, God is trying to tell you Something...
