The Color Purple (1985)

Visit Dvd Movies Detailed item info 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.
