Description
Steven Spielberg's masterful adaptation of Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel stars Whoppi Goldberg, 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) 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.

'The Color Purple' is initially a sad and depressing story of a woman trapped in an abusive marriage, and the eventual triumph of her liberation. Based on the Pulitzer-Prize winning novel by Alice...

I am not a Spielberg person, I find his films to be audience-attracting, lame-ending fare that don't really appeal to those who know life is not always gum drops and happy endings. That said, this is...

This could be the most robbed movie in the history of the Oscars, garnering 14 nominations and coming away with nothing. It was vindicated, though. Becoming more beloved than it's chief rival that...
