Academy Award winner Whoopi Goldberg, Danny Glover and Oprah Winfrey star in director Steven Spielberg's adaptation of Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Color Purple. From 1909 to 1949, Celie (Goldberg--Ghosts of Mississippi), a Southern Black woman, gradually gains self-respect as she strives to educate herself and to find love--despite an abusive spouse and a society biased against her race and her sex.

CRY ALL YOU WANT, BUT OPHRAH FOR PRESIDENT? YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE WITH OBAMA. STAY WITH YOUR DOLLIES, EMOTIONAL MOVIES, AND OUT OF POLITICS YOU FEMINISTS!

Haven't watched it in awhile but this is my 3,702nd time (ok, maybe not that many times) and I still cried tonight. I love this movie.

A beautiful story about the power of love and self respect, set in a time when most women of color were raised with little to none. If this movie doesn't make you cry, you have no heart.
