When I read The Color Purple in 1982, as I finished it. I turned back to the first page and read it all over again. I have never done that with any other book. And I am a full fledged bookworm. Alice Walker created a work of art like no other.

I read Alice Walker's novel "The Color Purple" in 1982, and was fortunate to see a screening of the film at IU-B in 1985. Though the film was good, the novel is better because Walker openly addressed issues of Black women in an epistolary format that isn't often utilized by many novelists. The film does examine some of the passionate and violent issues pertaining to Black women; yet, it doesn't address these issues in totality. Thus, I look forward to viewing the new film version.

Where is Whoopi Goldberg??? No where to be seen not at the premiere not on interviews ! It is celie’s story Whoopi should be involved some kind of way. Oprah purposely left Whoopi out of it. Oprah has completely strong armed the legacy of The color purple Sofia was not the main character. How wrong & cold to TAKE IT AND SAY SHE IS THE GODMOTHER OF THE COLOR PURPLE. Oprah don’t even understand the essence of the color purple because she didn’t play the role of celie. She didn’t not have to go deep within the bowels of the trauma that is the essence of THE COLOR PURPLE.
