Review of The Color Purple (1985) by Stephanie G — 15 Aug 2010
One of the Master Piece from Steven Spielberg Movie Factory. Spielberg's first real drama has stood the test of time. Moving and impressive. The greatest movie I ever saw that DIDN'T win an Oscar! It certainly deserved it, but the Academy had something against Steven Spielberg! A heartbreaking story, beautifully shot with some truly amazing performances by everyone envolved.
I'll admit that Whoppi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey had me leary going into this film, but both really proved themselves as exceptional actresses. Fantastic film! It is so rare to find black historical films or epics, let alone one that moves you so deeply.
There are amazing performances and the film will make you laugh and cry. Such a classic. loved it. outstanding. It is a great, warm, hard, unforgiving, triumphant movie, and there is not a scene that does not shine with the love of the people who made it.
