It's literally one of the greatest masterpieces in writing and one of the best and longest running Musicals ever, but alright. . . Nobody asked for it.
@@Darth_Bateman no its definitely not a masterpiece and they are right no one specifically asked for it based on its failing at the box office. Most people font watch musicals nor do they care how long they run on Broadway. That's for a select crowd and has nothing to do with something actually being "good".
Theres so many movies and series of black people living in luxury. You say that like thats the only black movies we have available. Misleading. I could throw a rock in the air and it will land on some movie where some gorgeous black man/woman "making partner at the firm", living in a all glass luxury house and driving a big car, struggling to find love, or something. So watch those. Here is a short list Love & Basketball Love Jones The Best Man The Wood Just Wright Think Like a Man Deliver Us from Eva Boomerang
@@robbylebotha Those luxury black folks are just as FAKE and GAY. I want to see historian movies like ancient kings in Africa 1500, 1400 year. Not blacks spending money on garbage items to feels important.
@@robbylebotha you only named 8 my boy and theres like 100's of slave, oppressed ,poverty ,black lenching movies ,documentries ,tv specials available lol
Well that’s the reality ain’t it? I always hear blk people complaining and crying about oppression so feel like what else would the films be about if not that.
As a gen x, we grew up and woke up. That BS play can burn to ashes and fall into obscurity. I didn't even waste my time even entertaining the thought of seeing this trash.
Hey fellow gen xer have you also noticed how they don't speak of us on social media much? I think it's because of what you're saying in your comment and that's also why the extreme leftist indoctrination these days.
Maybe the reason why it is failing is because this movie has been done over and over and over again. The movie was enough. For the life of me i have no earthly idea why this needed to be made into a musical.
I think that may have been on purpose. Music has a spiritual effect on people that can help the indoctrination and dysfunction that they people behind this want to produce. If you have ever studied the Bible or Quran even, you know that Satan started off as Lucifer who was created to make music to worship God. Many religious people believe that he still creates music but just for nefarious purposes.
It failed because there were no options in 80s besides movies. Also black folks supported the movie because we had few options that black folks were featured in back then. Fast forward and now we have options upon options and a counter weight to feminism and now we see the truth of it
I remember when the trailer dropped for this movie. The comment sections on YT and IG were flooded with the same theme(s). "Fuck Oprah", and "This movie is going to be trash".
I think that they’re fine with the movie flopping since in this case their agenda and propaganda matters more than box office earnings. Kevin Samuels and the black manosphere shifted the perspectives of Gen X, Y, and Z black women in a different direction. KS is deceased and the black manosphere is in the process of being co-opted. Now they have to reindocrinate.
Your agenda and propaganda only work if people watch the movie. If the White elites give you $100k to make Black men look bad, of course, they want a significant return on their investment. Well, the gamble didn't work with Oprah, so they're just going to have to go back to Tyler Perry and try again.
Because Oprah is part of the elite and the elite capitalize on black pain and racial division. They want us to fight and hate eachother and never leave the history in the past. They want white and black to hate eachother and women and men to hate eachother. Films like this help that cause. People in pain / rage are easy to manipulate.
Listen the movie has been around since I was a kid. I watched it over and over again not realizing what I was watching. Once I got old enough to understand how harsh this movie was I didn't watch it again. I honestly feel like we as a people love trauma bonding.
In this current era. With unrelenting competition from video games, social media, and original user generated content on RUclips. Hollywood will continue to become irrelevant. From 'Color Purple' to high profile 'Superhero' films flopping at the box office without end in sight. I and countless others couldn't care less about legacy lame-stream media.
Plus no one is asking for these films. All we get now are remakes over and over again or continuations of existing masterpieces they now ruin. It’s like if you were fed pizza or whatever every single day for every single meal, you quickly never want to touch it again.
Im so glad you said what you said in the beginning. I have had to say that over and over again for YEARS!!! My whole family is from the south, south Georgia to be exact and I myself am from Atlanta and i have NEVER heard any of those stories in The Color Purple outside of the color purple. I don't know anyone who has those stories. Im not saying someone out there didnt have any of those stories, however they are so far and in-between they don't even matter. Im glad it is flopping and i hope they never ever remake it again. Im tired of the mysandrist rhetoric that has come from this movie. Also remember Oprah has always been bad luck for movies….remember "A Wrinkle in Time”..a movie so bad no one even acts like it exist…smh
Not for nothing, but. . . . .Why would you expect to? Atlanta is a big place. . . . .Like, I live in New Jersey, do you expect me to know about every event that takes place in Camden?
@@Darth_Bateman we aren't talking about every event, we are talking about specific events that the movie claims happens in the south in black families. No one saying it some of these things may not have happend, what were saying is it was NEVER the norm as portrayed in the movie. These kinds of things were the absolute extremes and shouldn't be looked at as regular behavior or situations. None of my older family from the south agreed with The Color Purple honestly.
You're right but keep in mind that it was about an agenda to make the Black man the oppressor or Black women and you have to wonder if our women could be manipulated and sadly they were and for decades now.
I hope this movie falls flatter than it ALREADY did, BECAUSE I am tired of Oprah Winfrey AND All these OTHER people that are black that want to keep making these "mammying" movies AND taking us back in our progress as black people!!
"Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune, praised the film as "triumphantly emotional and brave", calling it Spielberg's "successful attempt to enlarge his reputation as a director of youthful entertainments." Siskel wrote that The Color Purple was "a plea for respect for black women." Although acknowledging that the film was a period drama, he praised its "... incredibly strong stand against the way black men treat black women. Cruel is too kind a word to describe their behavior. The principal black men in The Color Purple use their women - both wives and daughters - as sexual chattel." Color Purple was like catnip for white people.
(Long rant) My bestie invited me and I went although not really particular about it. Hate wasn't for the film but not really liking remakes that much. Because it was important to her for me to go along, I went. Put my feelings aside and tried to be open-minded. Not even midway it started feeling like I was in a twilight zone. Everyone crying and moved except me. Music was good, beautifully filmed yet it still felt like God wasn't the one trying to tell me something but it was Oprah. Like be a strong black woman and don't need a man. I don't mind being a SBW, but only when its necessary and not 24/7+ definitely not without a man. Mister seemed beyond cold but extra evil. The only good men seemed to be not as dominant as the women, goofy like. I kept seeing it throughout the whole thing. Afterwards I listened to my friend who was mesmerized by the film, but I was so lost since we saw the same movie. It got worse when she surprised me with dinner w/ other gf's who wanted a ladies night out to sit and talk about the movie. At that moment my mind flashed back to all the times I saw men put in these situations of needing to talk while not knowing what to say because it will go left if its not what they want to hear. I got through it.....but oh my God😵💫 Too many wonderful men in my lifetime made sacrifices to get me here today. I refuse to pretend I did it alone, and they are not needed and appreciated anymore. I stand with Toni Braxton, I love me some him and it will never change no matter what Oprah and sisterhood says ❤👫🏿
I love and respect this comment because it has taught me something. Now I think I know what it is. This movie is more targeted towards the black woman who has NEVER experienced a positive male remodel in her life. I being one of them. I don’t know what a good man looks like because I personally have never seen one; therefore, the sisterhood in this movie captured me. I loved the filmed. but now I see why I loved. It touches an unhealed part of me. Thank you for this comment ❤❤❤❤
I am a Boomer. I can tell you, I and many others never thought The Color Purple was based on any generalized reality. I laughed when Oprah gaslighted everyone when she announced the expectation of eighteen million at the box office on Christmas day. Well, anyone who knows a little about movie openings, knows it's usually the biggest day of a movies earnings. Eighteen million is actually a straight failure. (the movie cost 100 million to make) Movies usually always decline after opening day. I saw The Color Purple a couple of days after Christmas and no one was in the theater. I think there were fifteen of us. You see, Hollywood has been failing on all levels for years and the failure has intensified the last five years. I don't think Hollywood has had an original idea in more than a decade. The Color Purple is nothing more than what Hollywood has been doing for years. The rehash of something old. (along with preaching wokeness). No one...black, white or candy stripe cares about Hollywood and their movies.
Alice Walker should have written her autobiography about what it's like co-parenting with a white man who sucks. But that book wouldn't sell. So, Alice ultimately gave us a novel, two big-budget Hollywood films, and a Broadway musical! 💵💵
I thought this was a joke. Why in the hell would you remake a Steven Spielberg movie that was actually really good. Next you're gonna tell me they are remaking JAWS. Then again it's probably in the works cause creativity left Hollywood years ago.
White executive: "Wow, Oprah doesn't have influence over Black women anymore, what now?" White feminist: "Don't worry, we still have Tyler Perry and Lee Daniels on speed dial."
I was 9 when the first one came out and I remember the men from teenager and older were not having it. I remember they were trying to shut it down. I mean even the street dudes were. Protesting jawn. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was the same with ROOTS m grandparents and great grandparents lost their shit when tried to feed us kids that bs story.
My era was Mississippi burning my Muslim father told me every few years that they keep making these to keep wounds from healing keeps you feeling like a victim and keeps black men from getting close to white people and I asked well why do these white men keeps making them,he said they ain't white men but they look white 😂😂😂😂
@@laumay7364 okay so?? neither I nor the OP is debating nor insinuating that the stories are non-fiction. The OP was sharing the reservations that different groups had against these movies.
I never understood the purpose of musicals as movies rather than just keeping it on Boadway. It takes the drama and seriousness away from the actual movie. Although the movies we watch are fictional, it still pulls you to feel the character and their situation. singing a number just ruins it.
Unless it was created as a musical.....like West Side Story, The Sound of Music, Ragtime, Jesus Christ Superstar, etc. In cases like that, the music adds to the experience.
I like your point of view! I was attacked on another page for voicing my opinion on not wanting to see the movie. Some dummy told me I need to support the movie so black movies can continue to get big budgets! Don’t tell me how to spend my money! I still don’t want to see it. I read the book and have seen the original countless times.
I always support black movies but even I didn’t want to watch it. And I loved the 1985 version. But this 2023 version just sucks. They went in a gospel music direction…for what reason I don’t know. It’s very disappointing considering both Oprah and Steven Spielberg were executive producers on this 2023 movie. Black movies not related to the Marvel or DC universe tend to struggle at the box office. Because it’s black people and racism is very apparent. But we aren’t helping ourself by turning a very good story like the Color Purple into a gospel music festivity. Now you’re also alienating people who don’t care for the loud gospel music or preachy religion.
What exactly do black people want because I only hear you people complain at every turn. No matter what you get; you aren’t happy with it. So what exactly do black people want? As far as a film is concerned. I thought the movie was great.
2:03 😅😅😂 Even optimus prime is in strong disagreement to this TRASH. I am so happy. People are waking up and making this movie go the way of the titanic at the box office.👏🏾💯💯👏🏾💯🫰🏾Im lovin' it. 😂😂😂😂
I just saw this video on YT of Minister Farrakhan analyzing down the original Color Purple Movie. The title is Farrakhan breaks down The Color Purple Movie
Well I don't know who's bright idea was it to do another color purple but there was no way that the movie was going to do as good as the first one. One of the reasons is it's not a lot of people go to the movie theater anymore when you can just stay home and stream it which is actually cheaper. A room full of people can watch the movie for just $20. That's a bargain. And second: it's a musical. Once I found out about it being a musical, I really wasn't interested in seeing it. Most people are not really into musicals. It makes the movie less serious. It's too cheesy and choreographed. It's like turning Scarface into a musical. Terrible idea. People mainly saw this movie because it was Christmas Day and after opening presents, there was nothing else to do and nothing else was opened so let's go to the movies. But like u said in the video. People in other countries are NOT going to see this film. No one in France. The Philippines. Poland. Germany Australia etc is going to see this movie. Plus you have Taraji tearfully complaining about it. giving negative press about a project that SHE stared in. That was TOTALLY STUPID. that's like Tom Hanks complaining about doing Forrest Gump three days after it's release. Really??? Your suppose to promote your movie. Not tear it down. Who does that???
Isn't the guy that plays to father in the movie up for an Oscar for that movie about a gay civil rights activist? We can truly see how disgusting Hollywood is in that they ignore films like Selma but elevate a movie about a *gay* activist
Black people are owed reparations to secure the wealth disparity for the next generations to build upon. Its everyone's right to agree or disagree which I respect. Reparations Now.@@noylj1
Why we are still going to period setting movies I do not know. I will never go to one again. All it does is make us look bad and keep us in that slave post slave narrative
I have not. And if it's anything that shows us like "yessim boss" I am not interested. I'm in my 40's and I'm just tired of it. It's like Hollywood does not want to see us as hero's unless we are gangsters, felons, hoes, or divested. And that's not a shot at interracial couples. It is just a shot at people who say they would never marry black men or women. Big diff
Thanks so much for the honest feedback. I was thinking the same thing about Ms. Henson. I cannot remember anything she has been in, she’s not that memorable. And 'The Color Purple' was a dated,miserable movie 30 + years ago... Why are we still discussing it?

EXCELLENT analysis of reception on the bootleg sites.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!💜
You're welcome!
I didn't even know something like this was in theatres until I saw it at my theatre when I was looking for time for Bee Keeper and Godzilla.
That “good grief” line from Optimus prime took me out 🤣
It made me like the original more than anything and I could not even get past 30 min of it
Fuck that movie 💜
Didn't see it, don't want to see it. I'm so tired of remakes. Hollywood has run dry of ideas.
Great vid.
All I can do is laugh. 😆🤣😂
😂
1ST: The Book
2ND: The Movie
3RD: The Plays
4TH: ANOTHER Movie..??? Are there no other books that could have been made or no other stories??? 🤦🏾♀️
wait, I had no idea Oprah was behind the stage play as well. Consistent ain’t she
She has her arms in TONS of things. She is a very very powerful snake.
She needs to be investigated for her school. Sick what happened to all those girls.
I always support black movies but even I didn’t want to watch it. And I loved the 1985 version. But this 2023 version just sucks. They went in a gospel music direction…for what reason I don’t know. It’s very disappointing considering both Oprah and Steven Spielberg were executive producers on this 2023 movie. Black movies not related to the Marvel or DC universe tend to struggle at the box office. Because it’s black people and racism is very apparent. But we aren’t helping ourself by turning a very good story like the Color Purple into a gospel music festivity. Now you’re also alienating people who don’t care for the loud gospel music or preachy religion.
West Side Story flopped too, Spielberg been slippin lately
What exactly do black people want because I only hear you people complain at every turn. No matter what you get; you aren’t happy with it. So what exactly do black people want? As far as a film is concerned.
I thought the movie was great.
2:03 😅😅😂 Even optimus prime is in strong disagreement to this TRASH. I am so happy. People are waking up and making this movie go the way of the titanic at the box office.👏🏾💯💯👏🏾💯🫰🏾Im lovin' it. 😂😂😂😂
😂
Men are not feeling this movie musical...
Taraji will never work in Hollywood again after this debacle.
Here's hoping
She will be ok
She apologized...but I don't trust her...she's a backstabber
Once again very good content, recently found your channel
I just saw this video on YT of Minister Farrakhan analyzing down the original Color Purple Movie. The title is Farrakhan breaks down The Color Purple Movie
Thanks for your efforts in informing us with your edifying commentary.
You're welcome, and thank you for your support!
So it is failing
yeah I really don't feel like going to that movie. Nah, so about that Godzilla movie, yeah worth it.
You added the unnecessary scene and I heard it turned a bunch of people off .
No reason to remake this movie.
Opra steals the money
Well I don't know who's bright idea was it to do another color purple but there was no way that the movie was going to do as good as the first one. One of the reasons is it's not a lot of people go to the movie theater anymore when you can just stay home and stream it which is actually cheaper. A room full of people can watch the movie for just $20. That's a bargain. And second: it's a musical. Once I found out about it being a musical, I really wasn't interested in seeing it. Most people are not really into musicals. It makes the movie less serious. It's too cheesy and choreographed. It's like turning Scarface into a musical. Terrible idea. People mainly saw this movie because it was Christmas Day and after opening presents, there was nothing else to do and nothing else was opened so let's go to the movies. But like u said in the video. People in other countries are NOT going to see this film. No one in France. The Philippines. Poland. Germany Australia etc is going to see this movie. Plus you have Taraji tearfully complaining about it. giving negative press about a project that SHE stared in. That was TOTALLY STUPID. that's like Tom Hanks complaining about doing Forrest Gump three days after it's release. Really??? Your suppose to promote your movie. Not tear it down. Who does that???
*I am not interested in movies produced or directed by or acting in*
1) Any Oprah movie
2) Any Tyler Perry movie
I take great pride in supporting the narrative that black women can’t lead the box office globally. It’s quite liberating actually.
Too bad for Oprah …..👀
Whoever you are married to is where your loyalty is, and your mind. End the end your very soul.
I'm glad it flopped!
🙏🏾
I don't have a problem with the movie just they gotta quit trying to remake old movies . The original was better.
Maaaaan. I dont wanna watch no musical 🙄 Gimmie a MOVIE.
😂😂😂
You would like Chicago, it's a musical but it weaves with the story just right. It's a good time
Amen!
I am tired of crying..
Don’t worry it will be on Disney next week
Leave Tarji alone.
I agree
Begs the question: Were those sold out theaters full of people during the showing? 🤔
I had no interest in going to see it
You're right ✅️
Thanks!
Thank You for Your Support!
They used smaller screens to give it the appearance of the movie selling out.
Glad it's flopping.😊
Isn't the guy that plays to father in the movie up for an Oscar for that movie about a gay civil rights activist? We can truly see how disgusting Hollywood is in that they ignore films like Selma but elevate a movie about a *gay* activist
I love your videos . But they need to be longer. Not all of our attention spans are short because of tictok.
Remove the lesbian scene to make this movie more family-friendly.
Or just remove the movie
There only a dozen at Opry Mill Nashville when I went on the 28th of December
Movies are rarely released on Christmas day. So those box office numbers weren't much of a feat.
I wish the movie would make black men look good. Not bad..I support black men…and black women but the message of this movie is confusing
Until now I always thought The Color Purple was about slavery.
😂😂😂😂
It already came out?
I know that look. Feed the damn dog already!
They should have just stopped with the original movie....
As it should. How dare you bring that MAN HATING movie back to the big screen.
It's a musical. I don't watch musicals. Period
😂😂 not “flavor of dog food”!!😂
What a B list cast no wonder you couldn't find anyone popular to put in it!!
I fell asleep for most of the stage play. I have no regrets. 😂🎉
People tired of the slave movies. Reparations Now.
Since there is slavery in almost everyone's past, consider that your reparation--we all have been thete
Black people are owed reparations to secure the wealth disparity for the next generations to build upon. Its everyone's right to agree or disagree which I respect. Reparations Now.@@noylj1
Reparations is a movie too
Didnt go and see it either bc it wasnt warranted. I agree.
Why we are still going to period setting movies I do not know. I will never go to one again. All it does is make us look bad and keep us in that slave post slave narrative
Because victim pron is real.
Have you heard of (or seen) The Jones Plantation? That's a period piece, looks good though. I want to watch it but haven't yet
I have not. And if it's anything that shows us like "yessim boss" I am not interested. I'm in my 40's and I'm just tired of it. It's like Hollywood does not want to see us as hero's unless we are gangsters, felons, hoes, or divested. And that's not a shot at interracial couples. It is just a shot at people who say they would never marry black men or women. Big diff
Oprah just stroke her own ego for real. Thats what this is all about.
Thanks so much for the honest feedback. I was thinking the same thing about Ms. Henson. I cannot remember anything she has been in, she’s not that memorable. And 'The Color Purple' was a dated,miserable movie 30 + years ago... Why are we still discussing it?
The original movie induces drowsiness 😂😂
Hyenas be BIG MAD !!!!
