Favorite Line???

I really like those lines! :) What did you think of the movie and who was your fav. character???

Celie: "Everything you done to me, already done to you." The way she points at him and says that just gives me chills.

Sophia: "You'd better bash Mister's head in and think about Heaven later!" That's probably not an exact quote, but one that I like.

Nearly everything that Old Mister says. His delivery is hilarious no matter what he's saying.

Celie's entire speech to Mister at the dinner table before she leaves with Shug.

Where does your bottom quote come from? The movie?



"Hey, I should be mad at YOU . . . now turn around."-Bender/Futurama

**SPOILER**

In the two-disc DVD Oprah is quoted as saying that in the scene where she comes alive at the dinner table was not scripted. I loved that scene and if I didn't know it's hard to tell that it wasn't planned.

There's so many other quotes that I just can't name them all. But to name a few:

Shug Avery - "I's married now..I said I's married now!"

Mister - ..."You're Black you're ugly you're a women....


Mister - What's gotten into you..the older you get the slower you get the dumber you get. I didn't come out here for you to keep me waiting now get the molasses out your a#% and do me right now!!

Celie - "Hold your head back" (when giving Mister a shave her expression walking towards him was priceless)

Sophia - "Ah hush up you ole fool(to Mister's father)..always meddling in other people's business. (laugh) Sophia home now..so just hush up!

This is the kind of movie I can watch over and over again. I always look at it in a different retrospect each time. It's such an inspirational film that it deserved so much more attention than what it received. Not surprised it was snubbed at the oscars. Hollywood just can't accept exceptional film achievements with an all-Black cast.

I just rented the Color Purple the other day and watched the whole movie. I think it is one of Steven Spielberg's greatest films. I would have to say that my favorite scene in The Color Purple is the confrotation between Sophia and Squeak in Harpo's music joint. It is the scene where Sophia and Squeak are fighting over Harpo. Shug Avery had been performing a few songs in the joint. Squeak and Sophia continue to bicker and the Squeak slaps Sohpia. The musicians in the joint had been playing but they stop at that point and then you see Sophia glare at Squeak. There is like dead silence for about a minute and then one of the musicians in the joint is like, "Oops, gotta go," and then he grabs his instrument and runs out of there. Normally a line like that may not be funny but it was just the way he said it and his body language when he delievered the line. He runs out of there as fast as his legs can carry him and he is probably thinking I am not going to get in the middle of a chick fight or something. Either way, I have always found that scene hilarious especially when the fighting breaks out after that.
