The Color Purple was a good movie but it falls short of my expectations. I recently finished the novel on which the movie was based and was disappointed after viewing the film version. The film lacks character development and significant portions of the novel were omitted. The novel's emotional intensity was so much greater than that of the film, I was not moved by the tragedies and successes of many of the characters. The epistolary form with which the novel was written allows the reader to form a greater attachment to the characters and their experiences. Much of this emotional attachment was lost in viewing the film.However, there were bright spots in the movie. Whoopie Goldgerg and Oprah Winfrey's portrayal of Celie and Spohia was outstanding. Costumes fit the time period and I also enjoyed seeing Harpo's jukejoint come to life.If you loved the movie The Color Purple, I highly reccomend the novel by Alice Walker.
