I really liked this movie, does anyone have a favorite line or scene from the movie??? :)Thanks.
shareAny line by Adolph Ceasar. He's my favorite character in the movie, even though he looks too young to be Danny Glover's father.
shareI've got ALOT!
Sophia: Miss Sophia home, Miss Sophia home now! Pass me them peas!
Celie: Anymore letters come?
Mister: Could be, could be not. Who's to say?
Celie: DID I EVA ASK YOU FOR ANYTHING?! DID I EVA ASK YOU FOR ANYTHING?! I NEVA ASKED YOU FOR NOTHING! NOT EVEN YO SORRY ASS HAND IN MARRIAGE!!!
Nettie: I gotta go to school!
Shug: You sho is ugly!
Shug: Get that thing to fix me sumthin' to eat!
Celie: You think I's ugly.
Shug: No I don't!
Celie [imitating Shug]: "You ugly! You sho is ugly! And *makes face* you STILL ugly!"
Shug [laughing]: Amen.
Miss Millie: Your children are so clean. Would you like to be my maid?
Sophia: Hell no.
Miss Millie: What'd you say?
Sophia: HELL NO!
Miss Millie's hubby: Gal, what you say to Miss Millie?
Sophia: I said 'hell- *gets slapped*
Sophia: GET MY CHILDREN OUTTA HERE! GET MY CHILDREN HOME!!!
Miss Millie: I don't know her either.
Sophia: Miss Celie it's sho' is good to see you!
Squeak: And anyway you just a big ole heffa! HA HA HA!
Sophia: Like I say, fine wit' me!
Celie: My children livin' in Africa and they comin' home soon. And when they do, we gon' sat around and whoop yo ass!
Celie: They turned a heap betta then these fools you neva tried to raise! Course ya daddy ain't nuttin but some dead horse sh!t!
Celie: Y'all was, y'all was some rotten kids. Made my life here a hell.
Young Harpo: She ain't my mammy!
Mister: You're poor, you're black, you're ugly, you're a woman! You're nothing! Nothing at all!
Celie: I may be po', black- I may even be ugly! But dear God, I'm here! I'M HERE!
I don't know about you, Miss Kitty, but I feel so much yummier.
When Celiee makes that massive brunch for Shug. I sometimes try to recreate the menu, but it's too much food for one meal. And she should've included some fruit.
I also like when Celiee first moves in with Mister and starts cleaning-straightening the house up.
Its the punch line Shug Avery belts out when she dances, holds her skirt and lunges ahead, i dont remember or care for the line, it was just that scence
even monkeys fall from trees
"It's time for me to get out into creation and your dead body is just the welcome mat I need."
shareI just watched Color Purple earlier tonight since I still had it recorded on an vhs recording tape. I agree the movie has some funny parts but there are some parts that even make me want to cry LOL.
The ending where Ceily meets her daughter and son that makes me almost want to cry especially when the son starst talking to her in half english and half African.
I have a question about her son and daughter. What made them think about going through that one ritual thing with the weird african blade that was told in the letter flashback? Just something to do for a rite of passage thing to fit in with the african natives or something?
"You gon buy something or naht gal?"
"What sha doin that fo'?" "Ya sister's thinkin about marryin!"
"It's gon rain on yo head"
Too many to just love one. lol
yeah back then when I was a little kid when this movie came out for VHS tape rental and on HBO I thought it was hilarious when the little boy said to Harpo that it was gonna rain on his head
share"I'm poor, black, I might even be ugly, but dear God, I'm here. I'm here." Wonderful line. Basically, it's her whole soul in those words. And she finally stands up for herself.

Most of my favourite lines have already been mentioned, but one line I love is: "You aint nothing but a heffa". That line cracks me up. And then Sofia's response to it is just as hilarious.
