Steven Spielberg’s masterful adaptation
of Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning
novel stars Whoppi Goldberg, in her impressive
screen debut, as Celie, a sharecropper's
daughter living in rural Georgia. The film
opens in 1909 when Celie is a young girl,
a victim of incest, pregnant with her father's
child. Ugly and unloved, separated from
her children and her sister, Celie's only
option is marriage to an abusive, philandering
husband (Danny Glover) who treats her little
better than a slave. Her life changes forever
when her husband brings his mistress, a
beautiful blues singer named Shug (Margaret
Avery), into the house. For lesbian audiences,
this film adaptation of Alice Walker's novel
is infamous for deleting or at least muting
the lesbian relationship between Celie and
Shug. |
