“In 2005,this will be the 20th Anniversary re-released of one of the most unforgettable motion pictures ever devised for the screen. However,this movie is worth seeing since it comes from one of the most distinguished directors in Hollywood……The man who brought us the greatest films ever made…u0026quot;Jawsu0026quot;,u0026quot;Close Encountersu0026quot;,u0026quot;Raiders of the Lost Arku0026quot;,u0026quot;E.T.u0026quot;, u0026quot;Jurassic Parku0026quot;,u0026quot;Schindleru0026#39;s Listu0026quot;,u0026quot;Hooku0026quot;,u0026quot;Poltergeistu0026quot;,u0026quot;A.I.-Artficial Intelligenceu0026quot;,u0026quot;Minority Reportu0026quot;,and so many more.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut this movie,u0026quot;The Color Purpleu0026quot; was one of the most powerful and meaningful films ever made and to this day it stands out as a classic example of great cimema at its finest. Based on the novel by Alice Walker(who wrote the screenplay with collaborator Menno Meyjes),and directed by Steven Spielburg.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI saw this film at a premiere they had in 1985,and to this day it moves me in such a way that I had never felt,and it is moved me to tears every time I see this masterpiece,20 years later. This film showcased a lot of brilliant talent,since it had an all-African American cast which starred Danny Glover,Whoopi Goldberg,Margaret Avery,Oprah Winfrey,Adolph Caesar, Laurence Fishburne,Rae Dawn Chong,Akosua Busia,Desreta Jackson, Willard Pugh,Leonard Jackson,Carl Anderson,and a lot more.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film is worth seeing! Highly recommended! Grand performances all around! Anything that has to be directed by Steven Spielburg is worth seeing. Great drama at its best! It also goes to show how unfairly African-Americans were really treated back then,not just by their white counterparts,but by their own race as a whole,and this movie shows that how really cruel that is. It was one of the top ten grossing boxoffice movies of 1985,and was nominated for an impressive 12 Academy Awards including Best Picture,Best Director,and Best Actress(which Whoopi Goldberg should have won!)not to mention musical score from composer Quincy Jones.
