This movie is amazing to me but not as big as the original. All the cast did a wonderful job in it. The story to me talk about topics that is affecting black communites like domestic violence. You have three women who came together and form a friendship and sister bond.Other people look at it like a lesbian movie which in my opinion is ridiclous and ignorant. If you read the book you will know Celie and Shug has this special love. Only downfall is to much singing but hey it is a broadway movie.
