Winfrey's Sofia lashes back, reminding Celie that not even love is reason to accept being beaten by a man. So the betrayal when Celie encourages Harpo to beat Sofia to keep her in line? Well. Winfrey's Sofia quickly appoints herself Celie's big sister, and Celie.well, she just does what folks tell her to do. In these early scenes, Winfrey - a novice actor but experienced broadcaster - conveys Sofia's youthful confidence with zeal - standing up to Mister, marrying Harpo, taking Celie under her gossipy, bossy wing.
Celie's amazed at Sofia's bigness, in girth and spirit and voice, while Sofia's stunned at Celie's hangdog humility. Upon their first encounter, Goldberg's Celie and Oprah Winfrey's Sofia regard one another with a kind of awe. One of Celie's most fundamental lessons comes from Sofia (Oprah Winfrey). Most of these women dismissed or disregarded Miss Celie upon their first acquaintance, but the beauty of the story flows from how Miss Celie nonetheless learns from each of them a lesson of womanist strength. With a grand flourish, the film charts Celie's slow and steady journey toward a conscious, empowered womanhood and Celie quietly emerges as the de facto matriarch of a family of women. As she works and works, Celie's reminded at every turn, and by everyone, that she's ugly and black and poor and a woman and thus worth nothing. (NETTIE - Then I'll just have to go school for both of us!)īased on Alice Walker's acclaimed novel, The Color Purple tells the story of Celie, a variously abused young African American woman living in the American South at the beginning of the 20th century. ~ NETTIE - Can you read good enough?) CELIE - Nah can't say dat I do.
