absolutely one of my favorite movie of all time . i have see it at least a hundred time and i can not go through it without cry . i defy anyone to watch the reunion of celie and nettie and or shug and father and not feel your eye get misty . whoopie goldberg should have one an award for amaze portrayal . and for the person who say you can not love the movie if you love the book and wrong . im a testament to that .
