Based on the novel "The Color Purple" the story examines female African American trials/hardships in the South in the 1930's. Husbands beat their wives, enslave them with daily duties, and direct their destinies. Our hero Celie has 2 children taken away from her and her sister as well, such cruelty. The acting in this film is over the top. Danny Glover, Oprah Winfrey, and Whoopie Goldberg all do a bang-up job. The photography is exceptional. Plays a bit long but well worth it. One of the better films I have seen ! It was nominated for 11 academy awards. 2 hrs. 34 min.
