Why watch this film?
Although already adapted for the screen by Steven Spielberg in the '80s, 'The Color Purple' is back with a new musical interpretation (an adaptation of the Broadway musical of the same name, actually). The story remains the same: Celie (Fantasia Barrino), a woman who has suffered greatly in life (including at the hands of an abusive husband), finds new meaning in her life thanks to Sofia (Danielle Brooks) and Shug (Taraji P. Henson). To be honest, the musical treatment of such a complex and painful story feels a bit off. However, the fact that there is a new version speaks to the importance and relevance of this story of loneliness, violence, and abuse, but also of solidarity, sisterhood, and hope.
