Anticlimactic

For the original work, I just read the introduction. This movie was originally run for Oprah, but after seeing it, I couldn't help but open Baidu, only to realize that Oprah was acting the frank and impulsive Sophia. At the beginning, the rhythm of the plot is very good, and many details are hidden in the short story. When the film reaches the middle and back, it appears loose and chaotic. The protagonist's resistance appears procrastinated and sudden. The anger seems to be for the climax of the film and reflects the resistance of black women. Consciousness, which is one of the main themes of this film, and the specially arranged plot, makes people feel very unnatural. Among them, the black-and-white conflict was only mentioned by Sofia's tragic experience, and it felt that it was not fun enough. The film feels artificial in many places, and has the same drawbacks as the recent "War Horse". In order to be moved, it sets up a plot that is moving or wants to win the audience's tears. pity. It has a humanistic atmosphere, advocates humanity, promotes civilization and tolerance, kindness, or just objectively presents the true face of humanity. There is nothing wrong with it, but it is inevitable that people will be disgusted by awkwardly inserting some indiscriminate plots for the purpose of reflection. In short, the more the movie goes, the more disappointing it gets.
If you are interested in the subject matter of the film, I recommend reading "The Bluest Eye" by toni morrison

The Color Purple quotes

  • Sofia: Sat in that jail, I sat in that jail til I near about done rot to death. I know what it like to wanna go somewhere and cain't. I know what it like to wanna sing... and have it beat out 'ya. I want to thank you, Miss Celie, fo everything you done for me. I 'members that day in the store with Miss Millie - I's feelin' real down. I's feelin' mighty bad. And when I seed you - I know'd there is a God. I know'd there is a God.

  • Squeak: You just a big ol' heifer!
