11 oscar nomination and zero win . be yet to understand why it not like the actor in the movie do any good thereafter that you can make it by give them award for trivial role like it be do with halle berry and denzel washington whoopi and oprah and margaret avery and danny glover etc be all amazing i be curious to get script of the discussion at the oscar that year . it should go into the shoulda woulda coulda category for the judge . it an amazing book but true to alice walker style of write she have a way of seem like she be exaggerate her character so i be so glad that they screen adaptation take a few thing out . the cinematography be amaze the african scene live much to be desire the african part in the book be suppose to be set in liberia somewhere in west africa but oh no . steven spielberg think the world be so dumb that they cant think of africa outside of the safari so yes there have to be a complimentary zebra and wildlife scene when we all know there be none west africa and most of all why get the people to speak swahili who in west africa speak swahili . i just have to get that out of the way . but a a story amazing and film make out of this world classic yes . i own it and i watch it when my soul need some rejuvenation .
