rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author michelle7898 - Years ago I watched the Color Purple with my mother. I have to say, that even as a child I was intrigued by what I saw, I was moved by it in a big way. Most due to the fact that in our family situation at that time. I could relate to this poor woman...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author momofmichael - I know the Color Purple is many years old but I finally just got around to watching it. Being such a long movie (148 minutes) I watched it in a few pieces. I suppose overall I liked the movie because I kept coming back to it...but part of my motivation...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pierretascher - I first saw The Color Purple when it first came out in 1985. I was four years old going on five. The Color Purple was, for me, a foundational experience that grounded me and exposed me in ways which allowed for my own personal growth. I saw my very first...

Sun, 11 Feb 2007 00:41:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sj1and0 - "The Color Purple" is a story of color and brilliance. Adapted from Alice Walker's novel of the same name, it was a heart-warming story with much appeal and great characters. As I watched, I felt different emotions where sometimes I became so...

Tue, 13 Apr 2004 01:18:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author updateghost - When I first saw The Color Purple a year and a half ago, at the climax, I almost cried. And even at that same part on my recent watching, I almost cried again, but this time, the movie just didn't hold the same power for me on the whole. I would...

mvie mu-1004478: Alice Walker Must Be Pleased

Sat, 23 Mar 2002 01:44:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author laryan - Steven Spielberg can do it. In fact, he is probably the only one who can consistantly do it. "It", of course, is taking a great book and turning it into a great movie. That talent is rare--just ask any fans of Stephen King's novels. Great...

mvie mu-1004478: Purple...but one hue

Tue, 24 Apr 2001 21:36:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cmims - Arguably a social commentary about some of the harshest trials and tribulations of black women in the South at the turn of the century (the 19th to the 20th I should say now), "The Color Purple" transcends socio-political discourse and moves forward in...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MrsNormanMaine - Today is Norman's birthday.

Wed, 28 Feb 2001 12:53:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kknox0616 - My favorite film of all-time has been the same one for the past 10 years. Older gems like THE WIZARD OF OZ are vibrant and alive with the art of film-making, and newer films like SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE, MAGNOLIA and THREE KINGS take my breath away, but so...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Witch_Writer - Recently, while I fiddling around on my computer, I had the TV on, listening to a biography of Oprah Winfrey. There wasn’t anything else on.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pablo_1982 - The movie world today is a battlefield of huge proportions. Way back in the old days, a movie's merits were judged on the acting capabilities of the players, the story and script. Today however we have to take into account special effects,...

Sun, 6 Aug 2000 17:34:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lansky2000 - This is the one where they robbed Spielberg blind at Oscar time to the utter embarrassment of movie moguls when critics' sentiment resulted in a tidal wave of abuse directed at the Academy's standards and procedures. This was the first of his unblinking...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Jo_Draven - Channel surfing one Sunday afternoon brought me to this BLESSING. I'm surprised that this movie isn't a household name...YET.

Mon, 28 Feb 2000 02:52:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mgscmwa - Alice Walker's novel was incredible and Spielberg brought her visions to the big screen with style and grace. This is the story of Miss Celie, a poor black girl who was abused and mistreated by every man in her life. It is the story of faith, courage,...

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 17:09:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author The_T_Meister - "The Color Purple" is, undoubtedly, one of the best movies ever made. I must admit, however, that I didn't want this to be; I resisted watching it for years, and developed a plethora of reasons: I don't like Oprah Winfrey; Whoopie Goldberg is...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MEngland - When this movie came out, I was living in North Carolina at the time and actually knew the young woman who played Celie's father's young wife (at the time of his death). Kind of a neat FYI. I hadn't read the book, but I had heard great things about the...
