The scary part about this was when Sophia said she had to fight her daddy, her uncles, and her brothers and that 'a girl child ain't safe in a family of mens'. That. Sounds. Bad! What the heck was she talking about exactly then?!
So is this movie worth watching as a 25 year old white guy? Seems not my kind of movie but if the story anf characters are good tell me so and ill give it a watch!
@popdani Great story, cinematography, acting, and music. Emotional, spiritual, inspirational. My favorite movie. One of Steven Spielburg's best in my opinion. You have to watch it!
@Scallopshell98 It was when Sophia puched out a white man who slapped her, and they put her in jail for that. And when she was released she worked for the same white man's family anyway. If it was me I'd just rot in jail and my kids would just have to come visit me....or not visit me as the case may be! LOL
"i loves harpo, god knows i do, but i'll KIM HIM DEAD before i let him beat me". Oprah acted her ass off in this movie and deserved her nomination for an Oscar for this performance.
This was Oprah at her best! She will always be Sophia. Really ALL of the actors were at their best in this CLASSIC movie. I am a man, but I'm surpirsed that this didn't win any awards--forget nominations, it should have won. Shame on the Oscars!
@Refining1 Oprah was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1985. But i think the Academy is kinda racist. She didn't win. I think it was because Celie told Harpo to beat her.. lol
No really i think it was because O is black.
Now i bet since O has the Oprah Show the Academy is regretting giving the award to her. She won Emmy Awards every year from 1996 to 2003 but withdrew her name because she didn't feel like winning any more.
finally a tuff woman who wont let love get in the way of defending herself. GO OPRAH, GO OPRAH. AND AS FOR THE MEN WHO PUT THEIR HANDS ON WOMEN, Watch out, you may have a little more strength than us women, but that doesn't mean you will win the fight.
im 24 i grew up watching this film, so i figured this movie had won alot of awards! you guy mean to tell me it won nothing? oh wow that cuts deep! smh
one of my favorite parts in the movie, as someone who's witness almost every woman in my family deal with domestic abuse, i agree with sophia, "i'll kill'em dead before i let him beat me", cause i ain't having it, its gonna be me or you, oprah's performance was great in this movie, all the actors were great, the color purple is one of my all time favorite movies and it deserved every oscar nomination it got i only wish it had won something out of those 8 nominations, shame on you oscars
They need to do a Special Tribute to the Color Purple at the Academy Awards I think this is the biggest snub in Academy Awards history.. 11 nominations and not a single one won.
Has anyone noticed that rolls that ppl play in movies alot of times are prophetic. Oprah may be upset at God for the beatings and violations she received from men in her life and she's denying the power of Christ b/c she's mad at God for what she feels he allowed to happen to her in her past. Pay attention to the rolls people play in movies, there's alot of corolations with their lives.At the end of this movie she says I knw there's a God, hope and pray she goes back to that belief In Jesus name
@Ashabobo God doesn't stop women from being beaten. He doesn't stop so many of us from being poor. He doesn't even have the common courtesy to make only one religion. God is a horrible idea. What's the use of worshiping something that has no power? Furthermore Oprah would have been successful with or without a messiah who fixed nothing in the real world. Whatever happens to us after we die, it does not affect us in life.
@ponygod I don't ask for much from god,i wish he would protect the weak and stop rape. I dont pray for riches,that would be something that is up to me.
you told harpo to beat me

Oprah let money sell her out big time.
She was black in this movie, but the green money turned her rich and white as fuck.
