The Color Purple (1995) is a movie I recently watched for the first time in a long time on HBOMAX. The storyline follows a little girl who was given away for marriage. Her husband is a lying, cheating abusive man who separates her from her family and forces her to live a life under his rule. When friends from her past get more involved in her life some years later, hopefully she gains the confidence to stand up for herself. The movie is directed by Steven Spielberg (Jaws) and stars Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon), Whoopie Goldberg (Jumping Jack Flash), Oprah Winfrey (The Butler), Margaret Avery (Magnum Force) and Rae Dawn Chong (Commando). The storyline for this is so well written and delivers compelling characters and brilliantly shows their evolution. It is very compelling. The cast delivers their roles perfectly and he cinematography and settings are magnificent. I wouldn't change a single thing about this movie. I loved it. I'd score this an easy 10/10.
