I can't think of a movie that has impressed and moved me more than the Color Purple. For me, this movie is about fighting for freedom and finding your inner strength, regardless of race, religion or gender. Although the message is universal, it shouldn't be forgotten that the African-American community and particularly the women were really having such a very difficult time to survive after everything they had been through. They had to find their self-esteem and self worth which was taken from them during all those years of suffering from generations living in slavery. It's not so long ago that this really happened. It's very upsetting that most African-American people were just left to their own devices after being freed, never being compensated for what was done to them. On top of that they had no time or opportunity to deal with all this trauma inflicted on them and had to keep going to build a life. I see this film as a tribute to the people in those days-especially to the women who had to carry the biggest load. Celie was put down all her life by almost everybody, but kept going and in the end found love and inner peace and was reunited with her sister and her children. It's touching that a lot of people feel the same way about this beautiful movie.

What a beautiful film. Takes a lot to make a grown man cry. But in all fairness to Danny Glover, he did go on to redeem himself and become a hero in Lethal Weapon 1-4. Beautiful story. Just beautiful.
I have this movie on video tape. Unfortunately, when the movie was done, I tried rewinding it, and the tape wouldn't move; only to find out that my vcr ate it at the end. Now, I'll need to get the dvd.

I haven't cried at a movie since Titanic and I Wanna Be Happy (filipino film).
I cried at the scene when Celie hugs Adam and Olivia.
Nettie was blind there? Why was she feeling Celie's face???
