The original is a classic. Nothing else compares. 😳😳😳
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING !!!!💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
The movie didn't even need a remake anyway
@@tyj1108SERIOUSLY and I don’t get the praise that Fantasia is getting for her performance she did not give
@@perryjones7771I agree , she definitely wasn’t terrible but , I don’t see the hype .
I agree
Also! In the 1985 version, Remember when Mister said to younger Celie “you cut me I kill you.” It was a complete full circle moment for Celie to finally realize that SHE had the power to kill him the WHOLE time! The new version squandered that scene to be frank.
Plus Whoopi looked detatched in the movie and that made it extra haunting.
@@andymoore9892 totally. She moved like a SHARK, her entire physicality changed.
YES!!!!!
They squandered, rushed, left out many important scenes. I watched and liked 2023 movie, but prefer the 1985 version.
Well stated! 2023 version was unnecessary.
Sometimes it's best to leave things as a classic
yep
Just like that Wonka movie smh
@@MsDisneylandlover and the classic smurfs they need to leave that alone
Oprah didn’t learn from beloved
They need to leave my childhood alone. Poltergeist, The Thing, Robocop, Fright Night, The Karate Kid, etc just leave em alone
Misters realization when he looks back at Celie, he knew his time was coming soon. The jig was up and he had no more power over her.
THE FLIES. This scene in the original movie is nothing short of amazing. You can just feel Celie's rage and frustration coming through the camera. When Mister yells, "Ain't that razor sharp yet?! Now get over here and do me!" Celie says, "Alright." You know she's done. She was gonna kill that man. The shots between the shave scene and the ceremony in Africa are breathtaking. You can just feel the tension and the buildup. Amazingly done!
Flies cause that Ni99a was already "dead".
💯
@user-jp1ve5we5l 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought silly was going to cut his throat and they were going to bury Mr. in the backyard and forget him😅
Idk why but I have a theory on why I and most people prefer the original over the 2023 version At least for me its partially due to the camera work. Dont get me wrong, the 2023 version looks STUNNING and the actors did AMAZING, but to me it feels a bit too cinematic to a point where it feels like a story if that makes sense. The original felt like you were IN the story going through it with the characters. But i think both versions are amazing in its own way ❤
I agree that the visuals in the 2023 version are stunning!
Looks to cinematic, it's a movie, I think the word "Cinema" gives it away
@@dredre_lj2003 what im saying is, PERSONALLY the way the movie in 2023 vs the '85 feels more like its a more hollywood high budget so it sorta takes me out Emotionally so i see it as a separate story/film but its still beautiful and you can tell everyone did their best but i guess the original got me in a chokehold probably lol
I totally understand what you mean. Shoutout to Spielberg.
Me too I always say to much the original on mute if you wanna be a director,
The original Color of Purple will never be forgotten. I’ve never seen so many epic scenes in one movie.
Yes ma'am. It's been almost 40 years and we can still remember the scenes and lines like they were all just made. This movie, this journey, will never be forgotten ❤
The original hands down
I remember watching this at my grandma's foot when it first came out...I was so small & had to leave the room a LOT for certain scenes. So, when I needed help understanding this scene, my grandma said, "you can't be an🐴to folks & then offer your throat to them at the same time.. They may take advantage of that opportunity before any help arrives." Good advice, G-ma🌺
Grandmas always have wise things they explain or tell us.
This is epic. I love how she broke it down. Granny preached a lil bit with this one. Thank you for that. That's a powerful quote ❤
I connected more with Whoopi's 'Miss Celie.' There was some raw, honest and visceral truth in her portrayal. It clutched you in the gut. The material was just way over Fantasia's head. She doesn't have the acting chops to meet the challenge. God, bless her heart.
Agreed.
💯. Her presence was weak. Her vulnerability unbelievable.. They simply did not need this remake..
Whoopi did that🎉🎉
Took the words right out of my mouth!!
When she said alright, wooh amazing acting
So many hidden gems. Initially When he slapped her in the field, she thought she was caught trading letters, Maybe he would kill her... But then he was only thinking of himself and for a split second, her fear left.she realized he had a weakness he wasn't as sharp as he used to be...
Oooh, good observation! I didn’t even think of that!
Yes, not as sharp and losing his hold on her- couldn’t even get her to come to him when he repeatedly called. She knew he was slipping *AND* she was completely fed-up. Celie was done! Before, she had nothing to look forward to, or to moves towards. After the letters, she had a real purpose and reason to get out of this situation. She also had a support system with shug. 💜💜💜
@@yesitislikethatShe would have went to jail. And even been executed.
No.
Celie realizes that there are places where a Black woman can find dignity.
But she's literally and figuratively thousands of miles away.
She'll cut Mister, go to jail and be hung.
And that's ok but Nettie and the kids are ok.
It shows Celie has a long way to go.
She has to learn the value of her own life.
@@SanFranDentist94301 Yes, obviously she would have been held accountable by the law if she had taken his life. That’s a given. I mean, seriously, look at what happened to Sofia for simply defending herself after being slapped.
The point is that, *in that moment* (when shaving Albert) Celie was *not* thinking or caring about the consequences of her actions. In _that moment_ she was *done* and wanted to ‘hurt’ the one who had hurt her & drove her sister away. Fortunately, Shug prevented her from doing so.
*Anyone* in a toxic, abusive ‘relationship’ has a “long way to go” in order to heal and address the trauma. As I stated in my previous comment- Celie now had a support system and the knowledge that she wasn’t alone anymore. She now knew for a fact that 1) Nettie had never forgotten her or given up trying to contact her & (2) Her children were alive!
She had a future to look forward to. This helped to give her the strength to leave Albert. She didn’t have to accept her life as it was. 💜💜💜
@@yesitislikethat Agreed. There are just comments that are like "Now she can go to Nettie!"
They barely recognize battered woman syndrome in 2024. In 1924 she would have went straight to ole sparky. Especially since Mister is actually popular with the White folks. That's why he's so prosperous with the land and big, pretty house.
@@yesitislikethat It's Albert. But yes to everything you said.
They should've touched more on the book with this new version. Squeak had a VERY interesting story.
As much as the scene Traumatized me in the original, I would love to see your take on the scenes where Sofia encountered the mayor
That anticipation combined with shrug’s red dress foreshadowing blood. Just shows me even more that Spielberg is goated!
Never should have remade Color Purple. NO WAY you can recreate the emotional impact of the original. 1985 version should have won oscars. Steven Spielberg was pissed!
19:08 I’ve seen the original and read the book and although the original leaves out a lot of the love the Celie did have for sug , I love the movie. This new version seems like it didn’t need to be remade
The reason why this new color purple didn’t work is because today’s people are too afraid to push the envelope for fear of offending people or getting canceled. Push the damn envelope.
What envelope was supposed to be pushed in this version? People were upset by the decision to make Celie and Shug's romantic involvement more obvious. What else was there to escalate at the risk of cancelation?
@@heavenleiblunot a decision, the book made the relationship apparent. The new one just stuck to the book unlike the 90s movie, that DECIDED not to make the relationship obvious because of the homophobic times.
I seen the original and read the book. I enjoyed the original better because they didn't push Shug and Celies romantic relationship. The original is a classic. In the new one, they played with, the idea of Shug and Celies romantic relationship a little to much for me, but overall the movie was great.
@@starlaks588 u just don't like seeing a certain community exist. Even when an adaptation is being truthful to a book.
I think its a you problem, not the movies or the relationship.
Wait they were too afraid to push the envelope in the new one which in fact pushed the envelope farther than the first? How's that make sense?
Anyway, the new one just used the build up all the way through the dinner scene instead of building it up, stopping and then building it back up again.
The Flies!
Please breakdown the scene when Shug Avery comes to town in the new one vs. the You Sho Is Ugly scene…this was VERY different and I was really bummed that it wasn’t in the new one. That was one of the most iconic quotes from the original.
This where the HELL NO song belonged in the musical version. Having Celie muster up all that pent up anger she had and got the courage through Sophia to decide to kill that man. Celie was RESOLVED to kill Mister in 1985 version. Even Shug running to save them was riveting because she loved them both!
NGL y’all should go head and compare the dinner table scenes next pleaseeeeee !
The shaving scene in the new movie seems more related to the first time Ceily had to shave Mr. In the original movie after Mr. separated her from her sister, Netty.
True
The 2023 movie is mainly based off of the musical . I also thought it was clear that she wanted to slice him but was scared . Especially based on the silence and the vibe when Shug arrived .
I agree! Understanding The fact that it’s based off the musical and not the original movie helped me look at the films separately. Even though they’re telling the same story, It’s not the same style of storytelling. honestly think we shouldn’t compare them.
Thank you! I was looking for this comment. They've said this from the beginning that the 2023 film is based on the Broadway musical, which I've seen twice (the original and the revival).
The 1985 version of this scene is terrifying and suspenseful. Whoopi's silent rage is unmatched. I believe Mister is truly in danger every time. And the way Suge came running and held Celie. I gotta give it to Spielberg for capturing the intensity. It's a different movie, closer to the book and that's ok.
I can't believe this move came out the year i was born and I know every word. My daughter even used to quote this movie too.
Her transformation in the first movie was so moving. This was one of my favorite scenes. It also set up the future and helped explain why Mister let her go without too much of a fight. I have not seen the new one. But judging by what you are showing, it sounds like an anemic weak-sauce version of the original and nothing like the book, which I also enjoyed. No wonder it is failing at the box office.
EXCELLENT video. In the original, we saw Celie get farther before she even left. She had rage, and THEN she got galvanized into self-determination. She wasn't REACTING when she stood up for herself at that dinner table. She'd reacted so many times before that, up to and including that shave. But at that dinner table, she wasn't reacting. She was taking the reins of her entire life into her own hands and telling MISTER how it was going to be.
That's the energy that got passed on to Sofia, and that's the energy she cursed him with HER power to decide how things were going to be, that she'd just put her hands on. She didn't have to go somewhere else to find it, Shug didn't give it to her by taking her somewhere else for some off-camera montage of experiences.
It wasn't that she wasn't hurt the way 2023 Celie was hurt. It was that the script and Whoopi Goldberg let us see Celie feel it and get farther along in it. I think the 2023 version doesn't stay as true to Alice Walker's characters or message in the book, and even changes it, which I don't like. Yes, the 1985 version downplayed the depth and intimacy of Shug and Celie's relationship, but the 2023 one DELETED the complexities.
The Flies!!! I really enjoyed this analysis. It is much better than a lot of other takes that I have heard.
Glad you enjoyed it!
There were some beautiful moments in the remake but the original will always remain iconic.
The flies!!! 😂😂 not them accidentally deleting your channel. Wtf. I’m glad you got it back. RUclips be trippin.
Right??
Original was perfection. A masterpiece. I enjoyed the musical. Loved the singing and dancing but the original brought tears to my eyes in so many scenes. It was personal it was so real. You felt everything. It was powerful.
I love the 1970s version of Roots. I didn't think it needed to be remade in 2015 and refused to watch it because I didn't want my idea of the original tainted. Curiosity got the best of me and I was prepared to hate and criticize the new version.
To my surprise I really liked the new version of Roots. It's natural to compare and I refuse to say it's better than the old version out of respect to the old version, but it was a great and updated version. The actors held their own and I liked the added elements. Now both versions are meaningful to me and stand on their own in their own right.
This new version of Color Purple is not strong enough to stand on its own and looks like a weaker watered down version of the original. The actors were great but the movie overall just didn't compare.
Although I think the 709s version of Roots was the best too, I also enjoyed the remake. It was interesting and kept my attention.
Great conversation guys! You both make very valid points!👍🏾 The 2023 version of the Color Purple was very entertaining to watch but the original 1985 classic will always be the GOAT! 👊🏾💯💯💯💯💯
Thanks so much!
This was a great video as usual. For the next comparison scenes, you should do it on Shug and her father the Preacher. David Alan Grier was miscast in the musical (I kept thinking about his Pastor character in the sitcom Martin 😗🤔). In general, their interaction in the 2023 adaption could have been much better.
Great suggestion!
I thought the same thing about the pastor like no he’s a comedian 😂
I like the new classic black musical. In the color, purple, all of the characters are perfect. The music is great. I think that this is a story about people growing into their potential.
Thank you so much for the❤️
Y’all are amazing!! Please continue ,our society needs your educated point of view . Thanks for all you do
P.S. ; The Flies ❤🪰
Thank you! Will do!
Great scene from 1985 movie!❤
I love the original 1985.
2023 cast did their thing, but there will never be another like the original! 👌🏾👌🏾❤️
Best critic ever! Real talk!
It was about to go down!! Mister was very lucky Shug popped up 😂😂🤣🤣
Yessss!!!!
The original version is better, that scene was powerful and you can feel her pain and anger 💯💯💯
THE FLIES. Love your break down of this musical version of the Color Purple. Awesome 👌! You guys are spot on with your analysis 👏 👍. ❤!
Thanks so much!
The old scene ❤
These things are what ive been saying in discussions with my friends about how the majesty if the first film cant be matched. But you guys showing the clips. Whoopies reaction after mister slaps her, shug breathing behind celie while holding her hand. The beauty and devastation literally brings tears to my eyes.
Seems like they just switched parts around and kinda made them a little different so they didn't seem the same. Like in the main movie they showed the 14 year old Cellie and she was shaving Mister. She was afraid when he said.. " And you better not cut me" and she accidently scraped his neck as he jumped up to go get the mail. They sort of compined that part into the part of Fantasha shaving him later and he was expecting Shug. Only the younger version in the first movie she was thinking about getting a letter from Nettie. It was like both of those scenes were like the same purpose because they didn't show a younger Cellie shaving him in the new one. I was also upset because they made a point of the color Purple and they expressed it very well in the first one and they had Shug and Cellie walking through the field of special colored purple flowers 🟪🟪🟪🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣 and Shug explained How much God wanted us to notice. the color purple when you pass by it. Now they had in the new one, Shug explains it the same way, and yes I even heard they painted the flowers more purple in the first one. We saw the two girls run through the very beautiful scene of the flowers togther and how they loved doing the hand games and saying My Kee Da Da"" song .. That was special and so many other things About how close they were as girls and women how that color brought them together. As they showed them from afar how everyone was staring and your heart was beating all of the beautiful colored flowers between the scene like they had in the beginning and Cellie on her last leg of hope looking out at the field and nobody knew it was Nettie but probably Mr. And Cellie with her light purple dress on and she looks out among the flowers and see her sister's dress flowing in the wind and it was a beautiful purple she noticed . She yells with all of her might. As Nettie softly reaches OUT to her saying her name... YOU KNOW it was like she came to see us!! Then she runs through the field with all she had left and everybody else stood in shock. She made it to her family with the most " I missed the heck outta you greetings ever. Purple played a big part. It also was meant for the sad buises too. The new movie you hardly saw a drop of purple especially at the end and the meeting at the end was like it was only a year since they seen each orher. It didn't seem as loving. It waa more like " Oh people from Africa" and the kids reacted like " Who is this?" As she hugged them. Nettie was too light where they should have been able to tell she wasn't from Africa like she said in tge first one. Plus we missed hoq Shug actualky sang the songs she did in the club and the church. Power scenes with her father, Ms. Cellie and Her own sister. It was more believable in the fiest one and a bit too copied , like if we didn't see some of the parts in the firsr one tgen we wouldn't understand most of the scenes in the new one. Believe it or not, with it being musical it wasn't the part that ruined the movie, it was how they ran throufh the parts and we had to fit the scenes from the first movie in to believe the new movie especially the parts that were supposed to be the most dramatic. Even when she met Albert's children. The dad's issues.. Tge fights and they didn't show how Harpo actually grew up from a boy to a man. Like " Did you saddle my horse!?""" When he was young he waa getting to it.. And he had that same question as a young man. " I's gettin to it!"" Cellie and Nettie were more like two sisters in the firsr one. The new movie they looked more like cousins. Even Shug and Cellie seemed closer doing things together in the first one. Sophia was stronger and had way morw expression, how she expressed herself to everybody. The scene in the first one nobody could do the scenes Oprah did. With meeting the dad, how she faced him beating Harpo's behind and didn't take nothing from him and of course how she confronted Ms. Cellie in the corn field with that one line and the hitting everybody like she did and how she snapped back at the dinner table. That will always be way morw classic. It was like to make the new movie, it would be like putting Michael Jackson on stage to sing and then letting Eddie Murphy close it. If we saw the new one firsr we would have enjoyed the original movie more. All of that purple introduction and we hardly saw any in the new movie that's why it sucked to me. 😊😊😊😊 Thanks for the clip. 🟪🟪🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣 2024 ( read the book) ❤
The new version is said to be based on the stageplay,i guess i would have to have seen the stageplay to understand some of their choices on the 2023 version
In my opinion, Steven Spielberg's mind was so intricate and detailed and he did his rearch or however directors do. He truly stands out in his line of work. Not discrediting anyone in his field at all. But he did make us feel a part of this whole journey, and it doesnt feel staged, if rhat makes sense. The new version just seems from this reaction to be trying too hrd to one up. Elders used to say it best, ifit broke dont fix it.
Everyone had "I won a Grammy" veneers which I was not keen on and seemed incongruous within the time period. The Fantasia version was closer to the book and as a Liberian I appreciate people not showing up in full Kente (Ghana) but in Ankara... better but tie dye is more our thing. Also Fantasia is clearly a conventionally beautiful woman. Whoppy G. is more what my great gran would call "gronnah" and her small dry frame fits the story. Y'all know that the ceremony in the Spielberg film is feminine genital mutilation, right 😅 that is what Olivia is walking towards. Also face scarification is more Nigeria to me. Also, also, no Jenifer Hudson 😢
Letters were the only thing connecting the sisters all those decades and Mister is still treating her badly Shug came to save Mister Ass
This is still my favorite movie of all time. Whoopi Goldberg is one of the most underrated actors ever. I know she got SOME flowers for this movie, but not enough. She k!lled this movie and did such an amazing job portraying Miss Celie. I love love love this movie!!!
Yall killed this explanation, i love it, i haven't made it to the 2024 version yet
I would say leave it, it falls flat with no true emotions and the cut aways feel rushed and disjointed.
All the Cast from both of color purple was great. Some of the scenes in the old one was priceless and new one was good but the old ones was better. I loved fantasia in the new one she did an excellent job and deserves an award.
Thanks for the video explanation, i was 7 years old when I first saw this in 87 on HBO🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 totally love this
Glad you enjoyed it!
I LOVE Tasia, but Whoopi OWNED the Ceilie character.
Telling Harpo to beat Sophia
When Mister was trying to cook for Shug, and he brought in the Kerosene the way that damn rocking chain showed that she got out of there quickly.
And when she was about to take Mister out by sliting his neck and Shug saved his life.
We walk with Celie and her struggle to be with Mister, the struggle of missing her sister, when they found those letters in the floor we were elated and we all wanted Mister to die. Nobody will ever match Whoopi as Celie!!💯💯
I ❤❤❤ the 1985 version 😊
Loved it and hated it, simultaneously. I hated not the movie itself, just absorbing the truth of the trauma the oppressors left in our souls which prompted us to then start black on black pain way back when.
Nope, the emotions hit me differently with the original casting ! Every one of the original cast members' stories captivated my soul. Spielberg did his thing !
Can you compare the dad scene with Shug? I hated the new version the original makes me 😭 every single time.
Thanks for the suggestion! ❤️❤️❤️
Both scenes are INTENSE
But the original scene is unmatched !! When I was in the theater I kept thinking how it didn’t give me what I was expecting, and it was solely because of the 1985 film. I read the book when I was young and that scene aligned with the what I envisioned through Alice Walker’s pages.
The Cinematography Composition Was Superb !
I was a young girl in 85, and like many others I Hated Danny G for a long time ! It wasn’t until about the second installment of
“Lethal Weapon” that I began to “care for him.” And it does speak to how WELL he played that character.
It’s interesting how this in depth juxtaposition breathes revelation of Ceily’s internal conflict in 2023 vs. Ceily’s Reassurance of “one’s self” in 1985.
I Thoroughly Enjoyed The Remake 🥰 There Were Some Hidden Gems That Filled In Some Imaginative Gaps For Me 😍
The Flies!!!!
I know I wrote a lot my first comment because this was a great topic. Glad you all mapped it out. I just wanted to say I did enjoy the music in the New film I think the music actually made this a good film. It haaaad to been musicak qith Fantasah in it. Her one song hit home and the scenes she and Taraji did together it almost reminded me of the movie " Idol Wild" Which I loved too. That was like the Stage version. So it waa all good. ❤
Well said!
THE FLIES! I would like to see you guys break down Harpo & Sophia’s wedding scene.
I ❤the new flim. It answered some of the questions unanswered. The scene was mashed together to give a new look. The songs helped u think about what happens next
The original version is way better
👋Heit and Cheri, it's been a minute. THE FLIES.
Firstly, I despise remakes lol. Secondly, I still appreciate the critique because you guys are good at what you do, very well spoken and humorous. You makes us think of serious or imaginative things we might not have before as avid viewers. Simply put, the 1985 movie version was the closest thing to Alice Walker's book. This version was based on the reimagined musical.
Stay well you two😊 And interesting analogy made in regards to Gone With The Wind.
❤️
“ get da molasses outcha arse!”
Is a phrase heard in every black home 😂😂😂
31:31 have you guys seen love craft country? I really want to see your character analysis on that
Yes we've seen it and loved it!
I will start by saying that I haven’t seen the original film, and I was introduced to The Color Purple through the 2023 film. When I had watched this scene, I didn’t take it as it just being a shave scene as described in the video. I took it as Celie going through her inner monologue, conflicted on if she can go as far as killing another person, and THAT is why she was so worried. And while Shug being married may be a part of Mister’s fear, it’s also that he just felt a knife push much harder into his throat than it should. I think the scene says the same thing in both, just in a MUCH more subtle way. I respect you guys’ perspectives and I hear you, but I think the scene portrayed what needed to be portrayed, especially from someone who had not known the story before this
It should not have been remade period. Leave the classics as classics.
I’ve been stalking the page for this RIGHT HERE!!!!
I actually enjoyed the remake. But they did not do the shave scene justice! Celie was still in fear of mister vs the original. She wasn’t sure if she wanted to cut him or not lol. Since it was a musical, I feel they could’ve done a scene showing the African ritual as a more assured and angry Celie prepares to “shave mister”
Remakes always get watered down which is always disappointing. This new color purple is good for what it is and the original is a classic that can't be compared.
I love how you guys are breaking this scene down
❤️
1985 🔥👏🏽💐🙌🏽
Sydney Prescott said it best: "There's one thing that you seem to forget about remakes: don't f*ck with the original"
The original. Sometimes it's best to leave what's GREAT alone. Period
It's not even necessary that all the movies are good, but it is nice to have black analysis that is quality. It is nice to have a true break down of various things as a spectator, and a creator.
The reaction men had during the release of the 80s film was very similar to the current one, that is interesting to see. I didn't watch any of the musicals because both the book and the original film had music placed where it should be; extra music took away from the drama. I absolutely prefer the original, mostly because the author of the book was incorporated in the making of it. Alice Walker chose Whoopie for the role of Celie. I think the shade of the actresses mattered as well as portrayal of ages. I like all the actresses and actors in both films, I just think in the current movie, those actresses and actors would do better with other scripted roles. It would be interesting to get honest feelings of the actresses/actors who were old enough to remember when the original came out.
Love your commentary, I don't always agree but a lot of the times I do. I know look at boyz in the hood as a different aspect of higher learning; I look at certain writers differently because of things you say. I love the deep analysis and watched Tyler Perry's movies because you broke them down....😅 You are very healthy criticism where even the artist creating the film could learn something.
Thanks so much for this thoughtful comment! 😊
The 1st movie, there was a reason for him backhanding her. He said he had been calling her for over an hour. Mr. wasn't that type of person who waited for his wife to finish what she was doing. Celie needed to be available for all his bidding. Her not being immediately available was his reasoning.
I'm soo glad you made these comparisons!
Love this ❤ I can’t wait for this series
Great analysis! Would love to hear you compare the Shug characters but specifically her meeting Celie and her reconciliation with her father.
The flies!
The BIGGEST DIFFERENCE is the lack of emotional build up and connection.
There are so many scenes that appeared rushed. I wanted more of the sisterly connection.
That said...SUGE AVERYS entrance/introduction in the new movie was TOP NOTCH
Also, the "button" is mentioned in the book and stage version. That word was not used in the 1985 movie.
Omg I have been waiting for yall to upload!! I have something to watch when I get off work🎉❤
The flys and honestly RUclips sucks for that but anything yall post ima watch it! Commentary always on point!
Hope you enjoy it!
@@HeitCheridef enjoyed this video. Can’t wait for more
The only reason Whoopi did not get the Oscar was because The Academy gave the award to Geraldine Page for the lackluster, Trip To Bountiful. The Academy is notorious for giving awards to older actors or for their body of work. Page had been nominated before and this was probably her last film. I just noticed a mistake in the original film, Celie is holding the knife in her right hand when Whoopi is left-handed. There are several scenes where Celie is using her left hand. Sadly, this was the great Louis Gossett Jr's last movie.
Albert was crazy AF to have Celie shave him after everything he put her through. If I treated my wife like that I'd never have her shave me. Hell, I would have her cook for me either in case she decided to poison the food. I'd also have to sleep in a separate room that has a lock on the door.
the 1985 version of Fixin to Shave Mr was better than the 2023 version of Fixin to Shave Mr
bcuz the Celie on the 1985 version was cold & calculated and fed up
while the Celie on the 2023 version was afraid and hesitant
besides the 2023 version of Fixin to Shave Mr was the scene from the 1985 version of the Color Purple
when Celie was shaving Mr the first time and when the Mailman saved Celie from getting back handed by Mr after she had cut by accident when the Mailman closed the Mailbox
that's where the 2023 version of Fixin to Shave Mr came from
bcuz Celie on the 1985 version of the Color Purple was afraid and hesitant in that scene when she was shaving Mr the first time
Shug never said ..."yu sholl is ugly" lol 😅 I wanted that part so bad 😅

37:00 I feel like it’s fair for some people to not want to watch those type of movies anymore.
I’m a younger person, but I grew up watching the Color Purple (1985), Django, 12 Years a Slave, all of that stuff. But over time, it can get really exhausting. Even my older family members get tired of seeing those types of movies, not necessarily because of the fact that we’re ashamed of our history. We KNOW who, where, and what we came from, but because of that fact that we know, it can be almost painful to be constantly reminded. My grandmother, who was there to witness the civil rights movement, said herself that she feels that all of these movies almost only portrays us in that light, and instead of portraying us in the now.
That’s why films like black panther (which came out recently, and talks about slavery and African diaspora) was well received by a LOT of people, because it acknowledges and addresses the painful history of African Americans, but establishes positive changes to the now ( e.g. Tchalla and Shuri coming to American and building the bridge between Wakanda and African American Communities)
What do you watch?
@@HeitCheri I watch marvel movies, anime, and action films for the most part
29:50 People who do that, do it because they see a _differing_ opinion as an *attack* on _their_ opinion. They don’t see it as an expression of _someone’s else’s feeling_ about something. They feel that their opinion is *being put down,* instead of seeing it as someone else’s opinion *being expressed.*
True...
Hey, I'll say this.
The reason why they panned through the rite of passage and Celie about to "shave" Mister was because, in her own way, she was finally going through her own rite of passage. After getting slapped by the man who went to lengths to hide her sister's letter for maybe 30 years and the decades of physical, emotional and spiritual abuse, she finally snapped and found that her value was no longer in the hands of Mister. Her attempt to kill him was her first attempt at retribution. When Suge saved him, she knew then that it wasn't her path to take. The worst pain to deal was a reality check and loneliness... And that's exactly what she gave in place of ridding this world of the evil Mister.
The shaving scene can NEVER....be duplicated, and they know that, that's why they didn't put so much emphasis on it.
Shug didn't pull up with her husband in The shave and scene, wth....I can't....
This would be like if a remake of The Godfather was done, Leave the Iconic Classics alone
You all have given me a reason to see it, look, I love watching amazing Black actors, and I love period dramas. When I saw the movie “Passing”, I thought it was very interesting and well done. You know in order to move forward we have to see where we have come from. Literature and movies allow us to see how we have been shaped by our experiences, and I find that so fascinating, even Bro. Tyler Perry, has contributed to the conversation, so keep creating this content, you have an awesome channel 🎞️💕
Thank you so much for sharing this. 😊
When I watch musicals it's more about the songs.
Never push a quite or Timid person because after a while they may push back ,The color Purple is was an awesome movie.
I adored Spieldbergs The Color Purple until I read The novel, while I do love the 1985 movie. I appreciate The 2024 adaptation because it's true'er to Alice Walkers novel, I love both equally. The 2024 is actually easier to swallow, I love the layers of all the characters shown in the newer adaptation as well
Yes I understand that our youngins tryna run away from our past, but they need to be taught the power in these stories, cause for sum reason they only look at surface level
Yessss!!!!
idk, i thought the scene was fine. with the new on, she was close to doing it. i felt the anticipation. the table scene was her “tired of his shit” moment
Really enjoyed this breakdown, look forward to seeing more.
Glad you enjoyed it!
