THE AUDIO ISN"T PERFECT BUT THIS WAS OUR FIRST 'ZOOM WATCH PARTY' AND RECORDED IT... ** Thank you Naj for editing! 💚💚

As I told you during our watch party, this is one of my favorite movies of all time and after 35 years I am STILL furious with the Academy for completely snubbing this film. 11 nominations, *zero* wins. Disgraceful.

I'm glad you watched this. It doesn't get much attention these days, but it's a film everyone should see at least once!

This is one movie that will forever make me cry. I cry when the sisters are separated, then especially at the end when they reunite.

I'm not ashamed to say that this film makes me tear up every time that I watch it. It's so underrated.

I cried when this movie came out in theaters - and there are scenes where I still cry and my cousins and I still recite some of those iconic lines...

I was so young when I first saw this film. As an adult I look at them and I think Nettie & Celie were twin souls/soulmates. Soulmates don’t have to be romantic, they were really each others other half.

This movie ALWAYS makes me cry, even when I watch a reaction video. Whoopi and Oprah were just amazing in this movie.

Mister’s mailbox is a character unto itself

This is one of my top 3 favorite movies. I remember watching it on TV when I was 12 with my mom. It was the first movie that ever made me cry. Such a powerful story.

Man. I don’t think I could have watched this with y’all. I’m just over here weeping while watching this edit. And then her calling her sisters name at the end breaks me every time. 😭😭😭😭

You have to go and see the musical for this, it is so heart wrenching and the bit where Celie said "I'm poor, black, I may even be ugly. But dear god I'm here" they made the song I'm here based around the last bit of that one phrase.

Appreciate you taking the time to watch how my people experience life after slavery. It's still a struggle mentally but we have to be strong as if our ancestors endured slavery. The pain is past down in the DNA due to epigenetics. The Willie Lynch letters started this. They all deserved Oscars.

Most people do not know the Steven Spielberg has adopted a couple of African American children. He also directed a great movie called Amistad. About a slave ship that successfully was overturned by the chained up stollen Africans

This film came out the year I graduated high school. I missed the theatrical release but had heard all the buzz & critical acclaim surrounding its 11 Oscars nominations the following year. I rented the video (VHS tape, not a DVD - LOL) & after the first watch, it became one of my all time favorites. The acting is incredible, each played their role superbly & so convincingly. I had only seen Whoopi Goldberg one other time & that was her comedy special (film of her Broadway show). It was phenomenal to watch her switch characters in her one woman show, but it was still comedy... To watch her in this film just blew me away. Hell, even Oprah killed it! Of course I had to read the book after seeing the film adaptation. What an epic tale & the ending of this movie always makes me ugly-cry every time I've watched it over the past 36 years, even watching these reaction videos makes me misty eyed. I get to experience seeing it for the first time again through others' eyes & watching them become fans themselves. The movie is an emotional roller coaster journey. It sheds light on a dark part of history & how difficult times were back then for women in general. But women in the African-American community had it so much worse, from both white men (racism) & those in their own households (domestic violence against them & the children).

💜 the book & movie. It got robbed at the Oscars 11 noms.

Great reaction. I don't trust anyone who doesn't cry watching this movie. My sister & I use so many lines from this movie. If she makes a cake, she says "you bet not touch that cake. I done fixed that cake so I know if it be messed with." I think every woman I know was pointing those three fingers at their husbands. I'm looking forward to the upcoming musical film version.

Hi there! I'm enjoying the reactions! I'm cracking up laughing because I had my finger on the comment button and then you flashed the msg saying you know Harpo is Oprah backwards! Lol! You know how us commenters love to have the answer for something!🤣

This is one of my favorite films. One of the themes regarding the color purple, IMHO, is that it is a constant reminder for the characters that there is something wondrous in this world.

This film deserved ALL the academy awards!

An awesome powerful movie that still makes me cry.

I've been watching this movie since I was a little girl in the 80's and I still cry.

the color purple is also a broadway musical. the original broadway production lasted from 2005-2008. it had a revival in 2015. the musical will be adapted into a movie

Lol I love to watch women watch the part when Miss Celie is going to 'shave' Mister! She didn't even get to nick him was the best reaction EVER!

This is one of my all time favorites, can't wait to catch your reaction🥰

Finally more people watching this

if this movie does not make you cry, you have lost your soul.

Spielberg was hesitating to direct the movie. He said" I don't feel right about this, I don't know anything about black people to do such a movie " .....Quincy Jones said " You didn't know anything about Aliens either. But you still made that movie"

I'm so glad you decided to watch this! I can't wait to see your reaction.

It’s called Harpo productions because Harpo is Oprah spelled backwards. This is one of my favorite movies 💛

This was made into a wonderful Broadway musical with some incredible songs. Now there’s going to be a film version of that with Fantasia Barrino cast as Celie, which she played for a time on stage. She’ll be a knockout. Can’t wait to see it.

I've watched this film so much, we are family. Unfair binging overlooked as it is. As outstanding in every way, one could ask for. The book also terrific; fills in a lot of background.

Crying tears for this reaction

One of the most amazing films in Movie History

Love seeing your reactions to one of my all time favorite movies

I’ve watched this movie since I was a child seeing you watch it for the first time and your reactions touched my heart so deeply 🙋🏾‍♀️🤎

Awe hugs thanks for your reaction to this classic.

One of my favorite movies of all time! I know it word for word!🥰💜💜💜

First time on your channel and I’m OBSESSED. Subscribing now

celie may not exactly be “educated“ but she’s not unwise

I haven't seen this since I was a kid and it first came out. I definitely want to go back and rewatch it as an adult.

Steven Spielberg Should Have Won An Oscar For Best Director

I first read the book...I was young and didn't really like it. Then, I watched the movie and cried so much. I've seen it so many times. It's an amazing movie.

I would have loved to watch this movie with you. We would both be laughing and crying together ❤

Hi!!!! I also cried with this movie NICE VIDEO REACTION!!!!!!

I cried with you and I've seen that movie so many times. I feel like a total wimp.

I will forever love this book and movie

Great Performances By Everyone In This Movie

A true classic.

I met the director at the market in my hometown in Canada.

I love this movie. Still makes me cry every time. I'll have to join you guys one night. I just always miss it.

Celie spit in the glass of water. you had put your head down, it happened that quick 🤓

If u read the book celie is a lesbian and in love with shug

Now now let's not lose tempers lol and by the way if miss ((see-lee) sorry can't remember how her name is spelled)) if she kills him she gets the death penalty most likely....depending on which state she's lives in

I love your reactions❤

That sign she did to him when he was going to hit her when she was l leaving was the evil eye

NOW EVERY BODY ON YOU TUBE REACTING TOO THIS MOVIE

A line people miss "She won't make you clothe it or feed it" Celie can no longer have kids. I'm assuming it's due to her having babies so young by that creep.

Oprah spelled backwards is Harpo

She spit in his glass of water

💜💜💜

Enjoyed your reaction to this. Have you seen 'Fried Green Tomatoes'? Where are you from, btw?

I'm the book her mama ask her who is she pregnant but she say it's Goss baby

This was a good reaction if you haven’t seen it it u can react to Tyler Perry’s madea goes to jail movie

Hey Mum, quick question, did your 100k youtube frame come? :)

Harpo is Oprah backwards 😂😂

She spit in his water, that’s why she wanted him to drink it.

👍📺👀

Whoops got distracted so much in this movie but I fine her attractive then all of them

21:44Pa or not the man was still her step father which makes what he did an act of incest and he was sexualy abusing while still married to her mother...a big no no regardless since your not allowedto have relations with a woman will her mother is still alive and married to him....also its bad that the man was messing around with a woman who was not his wife....or in this case not a woman....a girl. Bottom line what the man did was disrespectful and embarrassing to himself and her to say the least....shameful man

I love your reaction to this movie but, the quality sucks.

Ya know... it's odd watching you react, with a 2022 attitude, to something that occurred close to a century prior to your birth. As I'm sure you're aware that, had you been reacting at the time these events took place... your reaction would be quite different, because you would have been a product of those days. You're reacting as though these events are happening now, as you watch, as though some of the characters had the audacity to behave like that, in this day and age. My opinion is NOT here to insult your intelligence, nor to have anyone think that you couldn't sympathize with anyone in a different era. It just LOOKS out of place. Actually... it's kinda funny. This was just an observation. No harm meant. I wonder what those characters would have thought about us, if we could visit them, after the turn of the century.

Not all women put up with stuff like this.

Oh woman grow up

I bet none of you hear Celie getting rapped by her stepfather during the opening scene. Go back and listen real closely! You will her sex noises!
