The Color Purple

I'm very proud to introduce the first movie, which I picked randomly, for my project. "The Color Purple" is based on Alice Walker's novel which won Pulitzer prize in 1983. Then in 1985, this story became motion picture directed by one of the greatest director, Steven Spielberg.

11 Academy Awards, BAFTA Award for the best screenplay, 5 Golden Globe nominations and Winner for the best actress by incredible Whoopi Goldberg. Starring with talented Danny Glover, Oprah Winfrey and Margaret Avery.

It is a very touching life story about a young woman whose life was very difficult and a lot of violence, full of pain and suffer that she had to face. Celi Jonson (Whoopi Goldberg) was forced to marry a man who was treating her as a servant, she never felt loved and special as a human. At the beginning you can see her as very naive and innocent happy girl, then she turned to be very oppressed and sad, but at the end Celi stopped hiding herself in a shelf and standing by her fears.

The mostmagnificent  scene for me was when Celi's sister was teaching her how to read. It was very emotional, happy and vivid scene, I could feel how strong relation they had and also how precious time they were spending together because the day will come when they will have to separate and the letters will be the only way to keep them in touch.

Enjoy the movie the way I did!
