Also an old film, Spielberg made it in 1985 based on Alice Walker's novel of the same name, which won the Pulitzer Prize.
The heroine Whoopi Goldberg has only appeared in some shows before. This is her first movie work. At that time, she was so thin and submissive. Oprah played a stubborn black woman Sofia in it, who was imprisoned for 8 years because she said to the mayor's wife: "Hell, no!" When she came out, she was almost dozens of years older. It's very strange that this film has won more than a dozen Oscar nominations, but none of them were nominated in the end. I don't know if comittee has a grudge against spielberg. I especially like the stubborn and arrogant Sofia and the beautiful and elegant Shug.
