spielberg first dramatic film be no let down . it a beautifully make film without any flaw about the life of an african american woman . it also prove that not all movie that have the african american ethnicity a the center of the story have to be helm by an african american director . what i love about this movie be spielberg ability to make it very realistic despite the fact that it be base on a book . furthermore and danny glover be excellent a mr. and usually and he just himself throughout most of his movie . but in this and he completely branch out and be someone else for once . but and the performance de resistance of the whole film come from whoopi goldberg . she be excellent a celie . you will never forget these character once you have see this movie . now and i heard that the musical version of it be go to be a film as well and and all i can say be represent i hope it about as good a this one be and because this one be a film that shouldn not be miss .
