If you saw the movie, The Color Purple, I am sorry. This is one of the many examples of a great book, being made into a very bad movie. I have never heard Alice Walker talk about it, but I don't know how anyone thought they could take the amazing inner dialog that she created and turn it into a movie. Sometimes a great book should just stay a great book. The Color Purple is a hard read as the narrator is leading a difficult and painful life. It is an amazing ode to the human condition.
