What makes movies like this and "The Help" sooooo special and emotional is that people actually went through and LIVED through times like this. I'm 33 years old and I remember my grandmother, great grandmother, and aunts telling me stories of how things were back then and what they had to go through. Just the music alone is emotional to me because of the impact this movie has on me. This is definately one of the greatest filmsof all time. Thank you to ALL who made this movie memoriable.
I was six years old when the color purple came out and even at that young age i knew how special it was.Color purple did not get it,s proper dues.This movie deserved a lot more reconition and awards then it got.
@MrCastilloNathaniel The tears come at 1:22 for me because I always remember the music at the end when Cieley and Netty touch each other right at that moment....
what a groovy movie and a very brilliant soundtrack as well. a very heart warming story of how a family was torn apart and repaired by a special person...Shug Avery!!!
@fatizoo1000 well for me that wasn´t really a lesbian relationship it was more like shug was giving her support to miss celie, who at that time was feeling like shit cuz her live was horrible, and she was the first friend, the first person in to listen all what she had inside and understand
yes i bought it from best buy for 14$. a friend of me told me that he is baby adam acting on that time and asked me to buy. i love the whole things. i dont appreciate danny gloover . whatever. now my dvd is out of my house. i had to buy it again. make sure to put in a save place. kudos oprah.
This song came on my cd player the time my Aunt was dying of cancer in the hospital. She was my Mom's twin. My Mom had died 2 years earlier, and my Aunt grieved hard. When this came on my player, I knew she was finally gone on with my Mom.
Listen to Georges Delerue's score to OUR MOTHER'S HOUSE in 1966? and then listen to Quincy Jones's main theme to Color Purple....RIPPED OFF!!!! WOW...it was written about when it came out in 1985...JONES u ripped of Delerue's score...SHAME ON U JONES!!!!

I've seen many films that have Whoopi Goldberg in it, but this one just stands out from the others. It's almost hard for me to believe she's in it. She just did that great of a job. Amazing.
Moving, geniune and heart felt. A classic motion picture, thank you Whoopie and Steven Speilberg. No matter how mad I get at them or how much I think I hate them, this song makes me very gratefull for my family.
this is my all time favorite movies too...i just got done watching it on this laptop...it just made me cry.... im so happy the 2 sisters got back together and the mother got her 2 children. they really should make more movies that can make you cry
YEAH IT SOUNDS FAMILIAR. because it is the music from Georges Delerue My Mothers House!!!! Listen to My Mothers House which came out in the late sixtys and then listen to Quincy Jones music to Color Purple U will be scratching UR head!!!! LOL NO KIDDING

Do you know Why Steven Spielberg Hasn't Got an oscar nomination for Best Director ??
It's because He has shown a small idea of a lesbian relationship between Celie and Shug ! That's Why

@fatizoo1000 Actually, he was nominated three times after this, and won twice.
