if you start doing lines from it....its really hard to stop. 
its addictive. I remember being in high school and having to review it for my school newspaper. I went with my mother and her sister. The scene when Mister is making Nettie leave is when my mother and aunt LOST IT. When they were young, they had to live in foster care for a year. They said it was like watching a scene of their lives. Its the one scene that has me in tears all the time. | |

The song "God Is Trying To Tell You Something," from the motion picture soundtrack wakes me up every morning...this is what I use for an alarm clock...it's the perfect way to start the day...

Yes, she was wonderful, Sofia was a great character, the thing i remember most from seeing this movie as a kid, is the scene where she confronted Celie after Harpo beat her... (bring on the quotes )
I haven`t seen "Beloved" yet, i think i will read the book first  | |

And yes, it's so true - you do start repeating lines from it  I think a friend of mine & I could SAY the whole movie word for word back in the day
And when I saw it in the theater, I cried like 8 times
It's an amazing film, incredible story   I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

Famous quote
"You told Harpo to beat me. All my life I had to fight. I had to fight my daddy; had to fight my brothers. A girl child ain't safe in a family of men. But I never thought I had to fight in my own house. I loves Harpo. God knows I do, but I'll kill him dead 'fo I let him beat me."  | |

MOST of the time the book is better. Although it's really difficult to prove that, since books and movies are entirely different. But for me, in the case of "The Color Purple," I think the movie is much better. | |

This is how ingrained that movie is into the consciousness of many black Americans:
Sunday, when my church let out, I was talking a minister friend of mine. All of a sudden, she let out with: "CELIE!!! CELIE!!!!" She started running toward a good friend of hers, whom she hadn't seen in years. As they hugged and smiled, they laughed at my friend's outburst. | |

"Everything you done to me is already been done to you" Whoopi with her ugly mouth twisted like a spring. But seriously, the scene where she reunites with her children, playing pattercake in the field made me cry like a little baby as a fifteen year old boy. It was very embarassing for me as I went to see the movie with my homeboys. Couldn't live that one down. | |
