like i say at the top and four star just aren not enough . it one of the best film i have ever see in my almost 17 year of life . for the people that do not really like it or understand it and you must not have a real appreciation for art or you might have a short attention span . even if i haven not see all his film yet and i would have to say that this be spielberg at his peak . it pretty sad to see that movie as great a the color purple do not come along too often cause i think all of u be in desperate need of first class motion picture entertainment in these hard time . movie like this be more than just movie while theyre piece of art that need to be appreciate more . the idea that it be nominate for 11 oscar ( even best picture of the year ) and do not get one trophy be a sign of how blind and stupid hollywood can be sometimes . spielberg wasn not even nominate for best director . it should have sweep the oscar that year . the film clearly show you how unfair life be for some people . if only movie be still this good .
