[BWEEBLAST]

"i'm poor.. black.. I may even be ugly.. but dear god.. I'm here.. I'M HERE!!"

whoopi goldberg is a powerful woman.

[BWEEBLAST]

[jordytalles]

[vamckend]

[nonamehasaname]

I woulda kill that motherfucking son of a dirty bastard. His daddy is a dirty mother fucker. Fuck you both ya bastards

[waltwash]

One of the all time great scenes in movie history... definitely up there with the Glory prayer scene...as one of my favorites from that era.

[Souleyefilms]

He said "or maybe she can sweep out the caboose."

[RecordedMovies]

i seriously wanted to murder mister for what he did to celie cuz no woman deserves to be treated as horse shit. men and women are equals dammit

[tearsfromhaven]

I am Romanian, I saw this film 3 years ago.After I watched this part four about 10000 times ,it still makes goose bumps on me skin ,and tears in too me eyes

[Kittymaryland05]

Sug's husband trying to save face after it all goes down. HAHA!!

[MegaNat1987]

WAY TO GO Celie Could not have said it better myself. NOW that ladies and gents is how you put a coward in their place :)

[bignsc864]

Maybe sweep out tha caboose lmaooooooooo that laugh after he said it lmaoooo

[2mcmp]

Best part movie:)

[wtng4theKingdom]

It's been 20 odd years, and this scene is the best I've ever seen.

[MrNsirwilliams]

Can anyone tell me what the father says when Danny glover says something about a railroad? It's funny as hell though.

[27msperfect1]

@MrNsirwilliams  think he said maybe sweep out tha caboose lol lmao!!! Hilarious!

[raekwonyaeyo]

@MrNsirwilliams

he said "maybe sweep off the booth" LOL

[TheDniceking]

7:30

that was powerful

[etemuru]

breathtakingly amazing movie. perfect in every way. I wonder why spielberg didn't work with oprah for the play?

[smnk3]

She's a Jedi.

[ignoranceandwant]

The car Celie leaves in is a 1935 Studebaker Commander Roadster.

[brebre4thee]

I think Whoopi is beautiful.

[NewJeruzPrincess]

If Whoopi's performance wasn't Oscar worthy, I don't know what is

[28stads]

Such an amazing scene!

[SunnyBrownGetsDown]

What an inspiring movie!

[traceeporter]

I feel you on that! I am poor black and I may be ugly but I'm here! I know so many black women that have been to hell and back and went back a few more times, myself included and it was only by the grace of God that we are still here! Praise him!

[Akee1990]

@Harpo What Celie said was a lie? Listen at yourself tellin a woman it's bad luck for her to laugh at a man. Just like your daddy. Chauvinistic.

[detriotman]

Same Here.

[DIONYSES000AD]

Or, she could have left by herself......

[DIONYSES000AD]

Because if she left with a MAN she'd be a slut......

[DIONYSES000AD]

Of course she HAD to leave with a WOMAN.

[DIONYSES000AD]

Of course she HAD to keave with a WOMAN.

[euniqua74]

This shows the power of courage. I leap from the inside when I see this clip of the movie!! I only wish that Shug didnt have her in the trunk of the car--that Mary Alice couldve stayed behind!!

[Shappyism]

@euniqua74 Mary Agnes

[oprahdiva]

@trinibeauty13  MONDAY

[oprahdiva]

FIRST TIME IN 30 YEARS THE CAST OF THE MOVIE THE COLOR PURPLE WILL BE ON OPRAH.

[medcutie]

LMAO AT 6:00-6:05

[JusRobin81]

@medcutie man I aggree 100% Maybe Sweep Out The CaBoose <<< MY GOD I AIN"T NEVER LAUGH SO HARD EVERYTIME I SEE IT 

[Ellatoocute]

Just saw this in my Interpersonal Communication Speech textbook talking about "Speech acts"when Celie cursed Albert. I had to come check the video out, seems like an interesting movie. I should definitely watch it sometime.

[Ellatoocute]

"My God, the dead has risen!" Lmao!

[tommiexander]

This movie is a masterpiece and will be a classic for generations to come. Whoopi and Oprah were excellent in this movie and was definitely worthy of an Oscar. But we know how that works. I have watched this movie about a half of dozen times since it first came out, and I enjoy watching it every time I see.

[Demoncastro1]

She used the force to stop him! 7:23

[jesusluvsme12345]

I love Celie she is my HERO!!!!

[Ritchina40]

My all time favorite line is from this scene.

I'm poor, black. I may even be ugly, but dear God, I'm here! I'm here!

Gives me chills each time I hear it.

[kattelerne01]

u be back lol

[kattelerne01]

lol

[Akee1990]

My favorite part of the movie

[revshelley]

Freedom!

[MrQuickforce]

This was a woderful picture that boxer Quick Tills where is he!

[CheekyMulattress]

LAWD!!! When she yanked that dayum knife up outta that ham/turkey/whatever and was fixin to plunge that shyt into his jugular...........WHOOOOOO!!! Sista gal had had E. NOUGH!!! I keep rewinding to 6:15 just to see that part again!!!

[SuperMIZZKEKE]

Anybody ever notice in black films...that the real heavy shit happens at the dinner table

for example:

why did I get married

The Klumps

[gingerbreadcorpses]

@SuperMIZZKEKE How dare you compare a Tyler Perry turd to this masterpiece.

[SuperMIZZKEKE]

@gingerbreadcorpses Well it's my comment. :)

[WWAHP]

The girl sitting next to Oprah, is that Whoopi Goldberg's real life daughter?

[1989DaVinci]

@WWAHP yes, that's here alright

[anita9932002]

@WWAHP yes..her name is alex..went to school with here at berkeley high in berkeley, ca

[TheMrMarilyn]

The pent up emotion that explodes from 'Celie' in this scene,is like she suddenly took on the mantle of 'His'...and all she do is hold up her FINGERS to stop him DEAD in his track!!!!Powerful stuff inDEED!!

[tiffanysnow24]

Sat in that Jail!

[FATIME132]

ce film? une merveille et cette libération de ces femmes qui ont véçues l'enfer !!!!..quelle magique scéne !!!

[oscar92000]

this movie is really amazing , i have seen it about 3 years ago and it still in my memory as one of the best movies i have ever seen

[Joe0079]

Powerful stuff man.

[tweetie35]

Until you do right by me, everything you even think about gonna crumble!

Until you do right by me, everything you even think about gonna fail!

Everything you done to me, Already dont to you...

[Rhondi8]

And into CREATION! YES!!!

[dezzio214]

2:49 I love it when she starts laughin!!!

[DaisyohneDonald]

Whoopie Goldberg is a amazing actress!

[luxurious297]

"The jail you plan for me is where you're gonna ROT in!"

You go Ms. Celie

[SexyLadyInSC]

"The Dead has arison"....LMAO!!!!!

[Thickbodyjock]

how would one "sit around and whop your ass"?

[youngqueen112]

@Thickbodyjock LOL!! XD

[Dmidgette1]

Boy you gone sit here and let this little nappy headed girl curse you out like that. You sitting at the head of your own dinner table and you acting like a waiter.

That shit hurts my side everytime I hear it.

[mysticgypsy1976]

I love this movie and this is one of my favorite scenes.....All the actors in the movie were simply spectacular!

[sparksparkwiggle]

I'm HERE!

[86443]

they ain't worth it

they ain't worth it

[somesortofrock]

Shug's husband totally makes me lol everytime!!

[foofwolf22]

This is Acting 101. I encourage ANYONE who wants to getinto that craft to watch this movie!

[goodg9]

You have to have a lifetime of experiences as a woman to truly appreciate this entire scene. One of the most moving scenes on film.

Many men cannot even sit through it.

[CheekyMulattress]

@goodg9 ----You speak the truth!!! Powerful stuff in that scene!

[ShawteebaddO9]

6:01 KILLS ME EVERYTIME !!! Lol

[olle80]

LOL at 6:01

[DIONYSES000AD]

some men are just incurable pigs. some women just never wake up.

[mtlogwoodss]

Mister can't talk about Celie not being a good cook when he couldn't cook Shug's breakfast.

[kewanw16]

The hell he couldn't !

[youngnoble100]

da halito de la cia packa

[assaultislove]

A lot of people don't realize that Oprah ad-libbed much of this scene. The looks of surprise on the other people's faces were genuine and not acted.

[ronnykmarshall]

Oprah AND Whoops should have won Oscars.

[NJNupe1911]

I heard about that. It's sad that Angelica Huston won the Oscar over her. It was PURE POLITICS!! I'm glad that the Academy has kind of changed a bit. It seems like they vote on merit more than who your father was, which was the case with Angelica.

[1989DaVinci]

it wasn't angelica houston, it was Geraldine Page who won over whoopi goldberg

[etemuru]

'he aint' wurf it ...he aint wurf it......

'"everything you done to me, already done to you" WHEW! "Dear God I'm here! I'm HERE!!!" Amen. Love everything about this scene!!!

[JacRab25]

When Squeak was laughing at Albert being called dead horse shit-I laughed hard as hell, too. It was strange to see Celie have so much venom behind her words. I love it-Celie OWNED Albert!

[scholar300]

My God the dead has a risen...

[rassledassle82]

WOW!!!!! LUV it! I never tire of this scene! Whoopi and Oprah were magnificent in this scene

[AlwayzCheesinDev]

Love this scene!! HEHEHEHE

[bajabenca]

"Did I ever ask you for anything!?!" "DID I EVER ASK YOU FOR ANYTHING!?! I never asked you for nothing. Not Even you're sorry as* hand in marriage." Love that scene.

[TheSupremeOptimist]

Made my life here hell cuz ya daddy but some damn horseshit! ain't dat the truth you tell em miss celie!

[blackguy134]

well shes a lot better than that first wife you married

lmao he said that mad random

[rassledassle82]

I know!...lol...that daddy just popped in whenever he thought the conversation needed somethin random.

[JuicyBeBe1989]

"Maybe she can sweep out the caboose!"

- -"Boy, you goin' let this ol' nappy-headed girl cuss you out like that? You sittin' at the head of your own dinner table and actin' like the waiter!" LMBO that iz one funni nigga

[etemuru]

awe...you had me rollin until you wrote the N-word Dang!! I thought it was just Tyler Perry that was holding us back...

[JuicyBeBe1989]

if you dont like it don't look at it!

[etemuru]

ummm...you posted it so EVERYONE can see your comment. duh. We all have a right to reply to comments as well. So I can reply by telling you that your comment was originally funny, but then you showed how much you hate yourself by calling anyone who might be of African descent (presumably that man is considered black in america) a ninja (my words don't have to reflect your ignorance precisely). You don't have to like my reply and you don't have to love yourself or your ppl. It would be nice tho

[JuicyBeBe1989]

im not dumb, i know i posted it so everyone can see, i have a right to choose the words i want and how i want to say them...i LOVE who i am... BLACK, EAST INDIAN, WEST INDIAN, and ITALIAN. i dont need any education on the word Digga from you...so it would be nice if you just shut up

[jjt53]

@JuicyBeBe1989 : Man Mister's daddy was funny as hell....luv that part too!

[tdbrown88tdb]

i was so glad she stood up for herself mista wasn't nothing but an insecure coward

[aliahnikki]

Mary who gives a damn lolololol

[TheHorrorfreak]

Best Scene in the movie

Whooppi Desevered to win that golden globe and her nomation for the oscar but she should have won and this should have won best picture

[breezy1921]

"mary agnes, miss mary..who gives a damn. BOY u gon let this little nappy headed gal sit here n cuss u out like that, u sittin at the head of ya own dinner table n u actin like a waiter!" LMAO

[DoorsChick1967]

One of the best of scenes already listed here. One of my fave all time movies. I have to fight back tears when Shug hugs her father and at the end.

[mvp13klb59]

wonderful performances all around .....

nominated for what 10 oscars, if i'm wrong ,pardon me.....

oscar nite didn't win 1 award......a DAMN DISGRACE......

shame on the voters & the whole processs......

[MRjeremy317]

@mvp13klb59 it was 11 oscars the most nominations n history only tied with "titanic", "gone with the wind" and "lord of the rings"... guess which 1 of those films was the ONLY 1 not 2 win any oscar...

[UnclaimedTreasure]

To those with a good ear, If you hear a bit of the background music in the scene in 7:43 to 7:47, just the few notes, you can see it's an excerpt from the chorus of "What About Love" from the Broadway version of the Colour Purple called :)

[circles212]

O WOW

[A1Googler]

3rd best part of the movie. 1st being the Shug Avery church signing. 2nd being the reunion with the children at the end

[Brycestix]

Y'all know Beyonce stole her skills from Celie...

[mequaz]

"well shes a lot better than that first wife ya married" LOL.......he ignorant

[xikemati]

what is the author want to say in this scene?

[blueplague888]

'I NEVER ASKED YOUR FOR NOTHIN'! NOT EVEN YO' SORRY ASS HAND IN MARRIAGE!'

Preach on Celie, preach on!

[bitchypills]

I think this is one of the best scenes in the world : D

when a woman say "Stop" to someone who make her feel like shit.

[Lhalaluvzmusik]

I love this movie and i think that this is Oprahs best perfomance ever.

[msgood87]

this is my shit always will be my shit always will be num 1 yes i love that line every thing u done 2 me already been done to u amen

[ryanlsj]

love it

[ctswright]

it's still so socially relevant...."your poor, your black, your ugly and your a woman, your nothing". those same isms still apply to the world today. really caputures the victimization of not only women but of those who are by society's standards not normal or up to par. really good book and movie. this is one of the only movies made from a book that i thought really captured the essence of the novel, cause most made fro movie books are crap.

[thatgirlkelly1]

best movie ever!

[Spidey301]

did i ever ask u anything i never ask you

for nothing not even your sorry ass hand

in marriage

[senoramariposa]

Great lines! Can't you just imagine saying that to someone!?

[paully6996]

Avery good movie good on Celie for finally having the nerve to get outa there!!

[qstar304]

the best movie ever

[chrissylm37]

Excellent excellent movie. I watch it everytime it comes on.

[nekady17]

This movie is one of the greatest! this was a highlight of whoopi and oprahs acting career! love it

[strongfemales]

This is one of my favorite scenes.when celie leaves Mister,and sofia opens her mouth.celie took control of what she wanted which was her sister and to get from under her deadbeat husband,sofia had to be brought down for her to come up.

[charlestonchewy]

R.I.P A. Caesar.

[Allentria31]

One of the greatest films of all time... truly captures a victimized woman in the early 30's and 40's trying to find liberation, not only from rascism that reigned in the south but from her own man who held her back and held her down because his vision of her was that she was nothingand she refused to accept that. Well worth the Pullitzer Prize.

[superiorbandgeek]

And when I seed you...

Lol, I couldn't help you but left

[mrsteasley]

omg i love this movie and this is the best part of the movie.. yall see tha way sophia just comes alive with all this stuff that she's been waiting to say. set in that jail!!!

[WHITETRASHDOLL]

God I love this movie I cry through the whole thing

[spoiled1ascanbe]

i hecka love this movie every since the first time i saw it its sad inspirational and had a few funny parts when mister dad be talking at the table but i love this move though my bro and cousin cant stand it

[LANORDA9]

Fuglier? Perhaps they would say the same about you. I would expect more out of a grown marine. Dear lord. Why must we label someone with harsh terms. We are all ugly to someone in the world. Trust me!

[Geetah240]

"Could be...Could be not." haha. love this movie.

[tamatha44]

Is'nt that Whoopie Goldbergs daughter sitting next to Oprah?

[Geetah240]

No her two children return at the end of the movie..Olivia is her daughter....unless your talking about real life in which case I know nothing about Whoopie.

[tamatha44]

Hi Geetah240, the liitle girl sitting to the right of Oprah, looks like Whoopie's biological daugher.

[MikeKrysta1]

that is her

[NJNupe1911]

Oh it is. She had a bit part in the movie, and this scene was it...:)

[lilmiznormal]

I love how Shug says " Is that what you want". She was warning Misters ass lol

[AuntyTala]

i was pissed when they arrested sophia for hitting that man

[FreedomOfTheSoul]

One of the best movies ever made. Celie & Sophia evolve in different ways but each reach the same ultimate destination: self-empowerment and liberation.

[NEXTGENSKYN]

i love this movie

[dtrose]

What a dumb Movie!

[310Kagome013]

If youve watched it. You wouldnt think that. Its a very clever movie to show how women were treated back in that time period.

[310Kagome013]

Meaning to dtrose..

[blaziermissy]

Thangs gone be changin' round hiuh too!

PRICELESS

[zjsword]

why does oprah look younger every year.

[imcopper]

she doesnt

[Brinah]

lol that is soo wrong!

[zenguy22]

This is such excellent acting. "Till you do right by me, everything you do is gonna fail!"

[deionc]

man, thats oprah! THE oprah! i cant believe it.....

[antjackson305]

lmfao! i kno this whole scene by heart! i recite it all the time! i basically kno the whole damn movie by heart! the greatest black film created

[deionc]

correction: one of the greatest films created, period.

[chanteuseCrystal]

i'd far enough to call it the greatest film ever created...just my personal opinion!

[antjackson305]

amen to that! the best!

[poupeerussia]

dommage que c'est pas en français pour moi c'est le passage le plus revelateur du film!

[JahGolden]

Someone PLEEEASe put the scene before this!!

[elbjr1]

one of my favorite movies ever.The book was good too..More of this story was in the book.

[JahGolden]

Does anyone know where i can find the "Shave Mister" scene??

[mayfairproductions]

This is whoopis best scene. Speilberg does a good job at telling the actors to not be scared to let off anger

[brendabignose]

one of the best scenes from the best film ever!!!!

[lindlin123]

This is one of the best movie that I have ever seen!!! I love this movie and i'm only 17.I LUV this scene!!! ,escaily When Celie BURNED Albert!!! That part was funny!!! LOL!!!

[deansdoodle]

We need some stability around here, that's for sure.

[UFOSPACE1999]

and when U hear Quincy Jones theme to color purple, and THEN listen to Georges Delarue's Movie theme to Our Mother's House that was written in the 1960's. U will say, Hey Quincy u stoled!!!!

[lloydlova176]

the dead has arisen!!!! that is soooo funni!!

[CharlesBarry]

For real, The best movie everrrr ! Can I get a ( AMEN ).

[odessyrcr589]

Sofia's pit always makes me tear up

"i know dayr iz a god"

[musicfan336]

cant wait for the musical of this to come out wit Fantasia playin the lead role of celie!

[CommonSence2008]

To this day, it's hard to believe that Steven Spielberg directed this. It was Spielberg's first movie outside science fiction.

I think that Danny Glover is one of the best African American actors next to Bill Cosby, Samuel L. Jackson, Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, Will Smith, Billy Dee Williams, and Lawrence Fishburne and many other great African American actors.

[UFOSPACE1999]

huh??? Spielberg directed Jaws, that wasn't scifi. Duel, that was not scifi, 1941 was not scifi, humm it seems ur wrong. Tina Turner was offered the role, but she went thru shit, and didn't want to relive it all she said.
