The first time we see Celie, she is 14 - and pregnant - by her father. We stay with her for the next 30 years of her tough life Did you know Edit. Trivia Sofia's speech at the dinner table was an ad-lib prompted by Steven Spielberg , in the middle of filming the scene. He asked Winfrey to express to Celie how she felt that day when she saw Celie in the store, as Sofia was shopping for Miss Millie.
Goofs When she is returning from Memphis on the train, Celie is sipping wine in the dining car. An African-American person could not eat in the dining car in the late s, especially on a Southern run. Quotes Sophia : All my life I had to fight. Crazy credits Film title logo when end credits are done. User reviews Review. Top review. A film that can make you shed tears of sadness and tears of joy would be considered quite a step in the career of a common filmmaker.
The fact is, Steven Spielberg, probably our greatest story-teller, has been doing this in various movie formats for years. In hindsight, this film should have come as no surprise, for Spielberg had made us cry tears of joy and sadness in E.
It is quite an entrance. No special effects, no swashbuckling, just brilliant story-telling based on a literary classic by Alice Walker. One surprise is how Spielberg could present such a moving film about African-Americans in the deep south. Slavery is gone, but in the south depicted here, it seems as though blacks are using other blacks as slaves. Spielberg is always put down for sentimentalizing his pictures or adding an element of childishness to please the audience.
This is really the first of overlooked films from his career that you cannot make these observations. Based on the Pulitzer Prizewinning novel by Alice Walker, The Color Purple spans the years to , relating the life of Celie Whoopi Goldberg , a Southern black woman virtually sold into a life of servitude to her brutal husband, sharecropper Albert Danny Glover. Celie pours out her innermost thoughts in letter form to her sister Nettie Akousa Busia , but Albert has been hiding the letters Nettie writes back, allowing Celie to assume that Nettie is dead.
Finally, Celie finds a champion in the don'ttakenoguff Sofia Oprah Winfrey , the wife of Glover's son from a previous marriage. Alas, Sofia is "humbled" when she is beaten into submission by angry whites.
Emboldened by this, Celie begins rifling through her husband's belongings and finds Nettie's letters. Able at last to stand up to her husband, Celie leaves him to search for a new life on her own. A major boxoffice hit, The Color Purple was nominated for eleven Oscars. The film was coproduced by Quincy Jones, who also wrote the score.
