I finished reading The Color Purple last week. I just mailed away for a film version of it because I was talking about it with my friend, and he said the movie is not very similar to the book, so I am interested. I will let you know what I think of the comparison from video to text when I get the movie in. Have either of you seen the movie? If so, what do you think?Patty
I found the original trailer for the movie on youtube. I think the music already conflicts with the mood that I had while reading the book. It sounds almost uplifting, when a lot of the time I felt depressed and a constant struggle. Here it is!

I have seen the movie before and I think it is just like many other film adaptations of great novels - no movie is ever going to be identical to the book, but I think that about half of the book is depicted well in the movie. Im sure it was hard to translate into a movie because the whole book is written through letters, so I think for what they had to work with, the first half of the book is shown well through the movie.
