The Color Purple Trailer Review
A scene shows Shug Avery Celie how to apply lipstick. When the The Color Purple trailer was released in an online event, Winfrey revealed that an idea had been re-evaluated. “When she says ‘O living God.’, it’s that moment when you see your sister putting on lipstick for the first time and feel happy for her,” she explained.
When Winfrey was asked about the need to revisit the story of “The Color Purple” nearly 40 years later, she, who is involved as a producer on the movie with Spielberg, Scott Sanders, and Quincy Jones, responded, “As long as people discover themselves, strive to empower, seek victory, and feel love and wholeness, the ambition of ‘The Color Purple’ will always live on.” Also Read… Mission Raniganj Download [ 720p 360p and 480p] Movie Review
When the movie is released on Christmas Day, Winfrey and Bazwule hope its message will bring healing and hope. Winfrey, referring to her recent meeting with Fantasia, said, “That movie changed her because it gave her the power to forgive. She told me, ‘People who will come to see this movie will be more sensitive. Will happen, because I too felt the same way.'”
Based on the 1982 novel “The Color Purple” by Alice Walker, the story follows Celie, an early 20th-century black Southern woman who finds herself subjected to human rights violations by her father and husband. In 1985, three years after the book’s publication, Spielberg adapted it into a movie starring Winfrey, Whoopi Goldberg, Danny Glover, and Laurence Fishburne. The movie received 11 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture.
In 2004, “The Color Purple” was adapted into a Tony-nominated musical with writing by Marsha Norman and music and lyrics by Stephen Bray, Brenda Russell, and Eli Willis. The acclaimed production received 11 Tony nominations, and the 2016 revival managed to receive four Tony nominations and win two, including Best Musical Revival and Best Actress Awards for Cynthia Erivo’s performance as Celie. Additionally, Brooks was nominated for an Actress in a Featured Role award for her portrayal of Sophia.
