The Color Purple

I watched the movie called "The Color Purple" today.

There was a scene where the girls were walking through fields of pretty purple flowers, and Shug Avery says to Celie, "it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it.” Hence, the picture for today. :)

It stars Whoopie Goldberg, Danny Glover and a few other pretty big names.

The book of the same title was chosen as part of our curriculum for our Introduction to Literature course.

Honestly, it is quite a disturbing book. I'm not used to reading about 14 year old girls being raped again and again and nobody seems to give a damn.  I even had strange nightmares after reading the book.

However, I did like the ending though. It was nice to see that most of the characters had a happy ending. But the part where the overgrown son says "Mama" when they were reunited was hilarious. LOLOLOL!

And throughout the movie, I kept wondering why Sofia looked so familiar...

Turns out that Sofia....

is actually.....

Oprah Winfrey!

Omiguddiness!!! *faints*
