The Color Purple (1985)

Special thanks to D'Nique G, who commissioned us to watch the 1985 Steven Spielberg film, "The Color Purple", based on the novel by Alice Walker and starring Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah Winfrey, and Danny Glover. While we found some of the tonal shifts and musical choices in the first half bizarre, the movie nevertheless drew us into the story of one woman's triumph over countless adversities, and the ending of this movie has a heart as big, wide, and bright as Celie's smile. Thanks again for your support, D'Nique! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
