Just as much, as you fall in love with the girls, and the women in this movie, you feel what they want you to feel, they set the stage, as if you were there, you understand them, I can't imagine any other girls, or women playing these rolls, they did an amazing job. The men in this movie, do such a good job, at making you dislike them, to almost pure hatred! My heart went out to these women, and I longed to slug the men! This movie depicts what is supposed to be a simpler time, and it was, but no better, women back then lead a life of hell, at the hands of unfit men, who didn't know any better, but I love how sweet the revenge was, and how pure the love was, and the scenery, it really takes you to another time, and place, there is not much left anymore. I love this movie, and I always will, I love the lessons, and the message of forgiveness. Read full review

I've always loved this movie. Whoopie stole my heart in this role and after watching it recently, I saw in the credits "introducing" Whoopie Goldberg. So apparently this was her first movie role. Oprah also has a great part and is very impressive as is Danny Glover. Overall it's an awesome film that follows a theme of female suppression by a husband that applies to all races, but told specifically from African American viewpoint.

I ordered this film during Black History month. I found this film very informative about the plight of Black people in the South, and how women were treated as 2nd class citizens. The quality of the DVD was excellent, however I was disappointed I was required to flip the disc in mid film, to view the rest of the movie. 11 Academy award nominations and not a single win. It deserved more.

This movie is so honest in reveiling the truth about what happened(s) in so many families from decades ago where no one was allowed to tell and if one did no one did anything to protect the innocent(s) to even current times where we now are taught and told to tell someone. Sadly those times of protecting the innocent may have improved somewhat but it is far from what really needs to be done to protect the innocents. Absolutely every actor chosen to be in this movie has done a tremendous service in their acting to bring to the screen an ugly truth that occurs throughout the world past and current. Gripping in all the emotions it touches upon. So sad to think and know this has and continues to happened in so many families. I'd like to think for those of us who have survived such betrayal that it has made us stronger as it has done for me. No one touches or even thinks to mess with my children lest they exist no more regardless of the consequence that might be fall me. Maybe just maybe it might make the perverts see the errors of their ways and how they have and continue to destroyed so many lives - maybe. But either way the Lord knows all and all shall pay dearly for their sins. One of the most truthful movies ever dared to be made. I applaude all who endeavored to partake in the making of this movie. We need more of these fearless people amoung us.Read full review
I have always wanted my own copy of the Color Purple, being that it's my favorite story of the love of two sisters, and I always missed not being able to see it when I wanted to, so now I can and the picture is so clear which makes it so much more enjoyable! Thank You!

Love this movie! It's hard to watch but the leading lady comes through with her head held high. Through many struggles and hardships she's comes out the other. Just a wonderful movie!

Story line is sad but true and has a happy ending. Some of the best acting I have ever seen and the homes, cars, clothes and locations were excellent for the time period.

When we first viewed the video, it stopped halfway. We were pretty upset. I read some reviews and figured out you have to turn the DVD over and play the flip side to watch the second half of the movie. It’s a great movie. Definitely worth watching.

You laugh, you cry, you get mad and you get sad. This movie has it all. Outstanding performances by Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah Winfrey, and Danny Glover. There are tons of other people, but those are the most notable names. (There's a cameo by Lawrence Fishburne, back when he was calling himself Larry! See if you can spot him!) This movie takes you over the course of I would guess about 50 years. It's a great film that could be hard to watch for some. There is some language (not a lot), but it's more the way people are treated that can turn some people off. Sit down with your popcorn and enjoy! You won't regret it.
Never saw this movie from the very beginning, So I thought now I have the time why not order it. I enjoyed it. I thought the actors did a wonderful job as the characters in this movie. It was not hard to get drawn in to the movie and they showed a version of how things were in the days long ago, Which I pray will never happen again. So if you like movies that have history of America, as well as emotional struggles to right wrongs then this would be a good movie to watch.
