Additional Information
Steven Spielberg's masterful adaptation of Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel stars Whoppi Goldberg (GHOST, SISTER ACT), in her impressive screen debut, as Celie, a sharecropper's daughter living in rural Georgia. The film opens in 1909 when Celie is a young girl, a victim of incest, pregnant with her father's child. Ugly and unloved, separated from her children and her sister, Celie's only option is marriage to an abusive, philandering husband (Danny Glover û LETHAL WEAPON, BOPHA) who treats her little better than a slave. Her life changes forever when her husband brings his mistress, a beautiful blues singer named Shug (Margaret Avery), into the house. THE COLOR PURPLE was also the film debut for Oprah Winfrey, who beautifully plays Celie's sister-in-law, Sofia. THE COLOR PURPLE was nominated for 11 Academy Awards (including one each for Goldberg, Avery, and Winfrey) but surprisingly won no Oscars, and although the film was nominated for a Best Picture award, Spielberg was snubbed by the academy and was not nominated for Best Director.
Reviews
New York Times - ...Momentum, warmth and staying power....[Goldberg] eventually grows into a tremendously compelling figure..., Sight and Sound - ...Remarkably faithful in incident and detail to Alice Walker's original...

    A Fantastic film with great actors such as Danny Glover and Oprah Winfrey. A wonderful story about two sisters who become estranged and lead totally different lives but are determined that one day they will see each other again!! One of the best films I've ever seen 😊
