Alice Walker named "Purple" "Purple". In fact, purple is a very abstract concept. I wonder if she wants to express that Celie worked silently in the first few decades of her life, endured the rape of her stepfather, the pain of losing two children, the slavery and violence of her husband, the ignorance and indifference of her stepsons... She is as unnoticed as purple. But in Shug, in Sofia, and under the influence and encouragement of Nettie, she broke through the shackles of her thoughts and bravely expressed her aspirations at the dinner table. Leaving Mr. XX, living with Shug, and finally blooming like purple, beautiful enough to make people's eyes full of tears. At the end of the movie the color purple, Spielberg set the scene into a sea of purple flowers, obviously unknown flowers, but so beautiful in the setting sun. Both Shug and Nettie wore purple, one lavender and one deep purple.
My favorite part of the movie is the showdown between Shug and Mr. XX and they want to take Celie away. Celie protested in a low voice at the beginning, and then loudly said that I would ask you for a penny, and then hold a knife against him. There was a murderous intent in Mr. Zhun-XX's neck. This is the resentment she has accumulated over the years. It has accumulated so deep and burst out, making everyone scared.
Celie, who is the most conscientious and obedient, will also resist, which surprised everyone. The resentment has been accumulated for a long time, and when the fuse is ignited, the anger starts from the heart, and the evil grows to the courage.
Unlike the bridge described in the book, everyone sat around a table in the movie, even Albert's father was present. Albert's father only appeared once in the book-Mr. XX took Shug home for cooking, and he came over angrily, hoping to drive her out of the house, but even Celie secretly vomited in the water poured for him saliva. Albert's father appeared three times in the movie, and the second time was in the above dinner. He was holding a cigarette, and his backlit figure seemed even smaller. When he and his son laughed loudly at Celie and other women, I have to admit that this is the person I hate the most.
Don't watch Mr. XX slap Celie happily for the first few days after marrying Celie; don't watch Mr. XX violently drive Nettie out of his territory. In fact, Mr. XX is still a very gentle man in his bones. He gingerly made breakfast for his beloved Shug, he was cut his hand and just sucked his fingers hard without asking Celie to help him. Having a beloved person by his side allows him to see his kindness. Even if Celie boldly moved a chair and watched his ugliness, he did not become angry. If he had been as usual, he would have slapped him. What is even more surprising is that when Shug threw his dinner plate out of his head, Mr. So-and-so just flees with his tail tucked in dingy, without being furious or angering others.
So how did that Mr. So-and-so who show off his power in daily life? "Who gives a damn? Boy,you going to let this nappy-haired gal(girl) sit here and cuss you out? You're at the head of your own table and you acting like a waiter" This is a certain in the movie The husband's father taught his son that paragraph at the dinner table. ”I ain't heard such nonsense in all my life.Now listen to me.I know just what you need.We need you a woman.Nice,little,young girl clean up the house ,iron your skirts,clean up this house ..." This is what Mr. So-and-so's father said when he comforted his down-and-out son after Celie left. It is not difficult to imagine how many such patriarchal ideas were implicitly or directly accepted by Mr. So and so in his childhood. His father did not allow him to marry Shug, so he lost love. His father taught him to have a good girl who washes and cooks, so he treats his wife like a slave.
As for the fact that he hid Nettie's letter, except out of anger and selfishness. I think it was out of jealousy. He has lost Shug and has no love; he has no brothers and sisters, his father is selfish, and has no affection; he guards his territory alone, without friends or friendship. But the ugly wife has a close sister like Nettie. He thinks that he is superior to his wife, but he cannot have what his wife has, which seriously frustrated his arrogant self-esteem. So he refused to forward Nettie's letter. But he still has a little desire and a little appreciation for the relationship between Nettie and Celie, so instead of throwing away or burning the letter, he carefully stored the letter under the floor, like a photo of a lover. Cherish them. Such a Mr. So-and-so is affectionate and lovely.
In the traditional ideological bondage of male superiority to female inferiority, Mr. XX is actually the first victim. I don’t know if he still fell in love with Shug or Celie, but whether he was lying on the floor drunk, or standing alone in front of Celie’s shop and leaving alone, or standing alone in front of the white horse No one cleans up his beard and face, making people feel sorry for him. When I was young, I gave up because I was not brave enough, and when I grew up I lost it because of stubbornness. He was dark purple. Under the guidance of his father, he cut himself with a knife, covered it with his clothes, bleeding into a dark purple scab, and was in pain alone.
