    The way Shug said „see daddy, sinners have soul too“ just brings me to tears. She’ll always be a child of God no matter where life took her

      Just makes me think what did Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight and many other Black Women singers had to endure after there music moved from the Black Church to main street music. I Love the Black Church and the Grandson of a Reverend. My Granddad was very strict Black Air Force High up sergeant and old school. I miss him but in them Days they where really ugly towards New things becoming new. LOL SMH but true.

    Ugly cry 😭 That scene always gets me. I love when Shug says, “See Daddy sinners have soul too”, then he hugs her and she finally has that love from her father she wanted so badly. Then Albert finally does right by Celie, the whole scene is beautiful glimpse at redemption and forgiveness.

    • @selenal.9802
      @selenal.9802 5 лет назад +27

      Underrated because the person that played Shug Avery’s character should have gotten recognition. I’m 40 and I’ve been singing this song in my mind for weeks, just listening today and seeing how the character didn’t care anymore and went to her father with that song to let him know God was telling Him something. That blew my mind and I couldn’t help but cry. We are ALL HUMAN BEINGS WE WILL NOT ALWAYS MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS BUT CAN BE FORGIVEN. AND BE YOURSELF DONT BE WHAT SOMEONE ELSE WANTS YOU TO BE. Especially if you are a nice person, that will help drive depression and anxiety out!

      When this movie came out I was a freshman at Tuskegee.... it was Institute then. Nonetheless, l got married, had two daughters, had, a separation... so on and so forth. I never saw it coming, but me and my children separated and stopped communicating for several years. A minister told me that they would be back. Out of the blue.. my youngest invited to treat me to lunch and my oldest comes around. When l saw that scene with the father holding his daughter the tears flowed. I tried to be hard and stern as a man, but for a father who actually cares you're only fooling yourself when you try to dismiss things.

    ever since she came back to that little town she had been trying to get her daddy to see her, acknowledge her, daddy couldn't forgive her for what life she had led. When the choir started singing that song he was trying to send her a message through God, but it was God who sent a message to him to learn to forgive her for her past and see her really see her.

    This song makes me cry and on the brink of crying. I have failed God so many times and sinned and yet He still loves me no matter what. Even the times when I wanted to give up on myself and life, He kept telling me in my spirit don't give up. I wanted to die but He still never gave up on me. Why should I give up on Him by giving up? The battle is not mine because I am not strong enough to fight it. It is God's. I love you all and I want to say that we are truly living in our last days. Let's just please give our life over to Jesus before it is too late.

      Say that 2 times! It's the middle of the night in Cali right now and I've been drinking. I played the song and it brought me to tears just like it has when I was out with my gay friend who blasted it like a rap song in the 90's and this morning when I explained to my husband what it all meant. I waited for the tears because I would expect nothing less. This is a tragic story of heartache turned to triumph/joyousness. Everyone came to see her as she truly was and that's how we came to understand her to be. This scene is so moving...so touching...so emotional that, if you told me you didn't feel it I would question if you even watched the same scene. It is definitely one of the scenes that solidified this movie's home in the land of classic movies that will always evoke a specific feeling. It's up there with Imitation of Life but not yet. If you don't cry when you watch it you're not a human. This is the SHI+!

Unfortunately after a long battle with brain cancer, his wife passed away. I'm not perfect. I did some pretty messed up junk when I waz young and I think I really disappointed him in my life. One day we got the chance to sit down together and I brought this song up and said "See Daddy, sinners have soul too." And we both just burst into tears and hugged each other like we had been separated for thousands of years. Now we are in a good, healthy parent-child relationship. All because I knew this song.

      One of the reasons her voice carried so far was that Shug was next to water (the Juke Joint was on the river), the path they walked was next to the river, and water can reflect sound and carry it.

      I hope all is well again for you! God is always speaking and sometimes we may not be ready to hear what He’s trying to tell us. Sometimes we just have to sit still for a moment or listen to the wind blowing. Sometimes we can be going through something or have questions about something and at some point you may see a commercial or newspaper article where the text is what you needed to see. I love it when I can walk down the street and hear part of a conversation from some random people, and that part of the conversation is exactly what I needed to hear. I stop and smile up to the sky and say, I hear you! God is always speaking to us in ways He knows we will better hear him or receive the message intended for us!

    This was one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking yet perfect scenes in film history. The sinners at the river. The sinners in church. Pastor giving sermon about the prodigal son. His daughter is prodigal. The way Shug looks at her musician without words, the knowing. She leads them to the house of God. Her dad sees his daughter, the gorgeous face of the main choir singer, as she a knowledge the other voices and the daughter. Then her dad holds her reluctantly. Then he embraces her. Then Shug cries that most painful cry that some tears can't come out as pain is too deep. EVER TIME I SEE THIS SCENE IT GETS ME.
