 The
Color Purple (US 1985)
Directed by Steven Spielberg
Featuring Whoopi Goldberg
  |
| story: |
This movie is focusing on one black family especially
daughters. The older sister has been discriminated for her sex
and outlook. It's a story of 40 long years of black sisters
who were sold for money.
|
| point: |
How the older sister lives her life
facing various kinds of discriminations and affections is worth
seeing. Love and bond between the sisters are felt as rather
those between women or individuals. Lesbian love is seemed to
be depictured as human love in the movie.

self-righteous and pure heart of young boys. Young Eri Fukatsu
was in.
