      The Color Purple--A Intoxicated And Quietly Watched Film

      I just finished watching Spielberg's early work, The Purple. The film is different from the video style of the previous masters. It is separated from the science fiction film, and the reborn literary documentary is blowing in the wind. The grasp of the rhythm of the story, the use of color, and the choice of music make a film that can be intoxicated and quietly watched in today's fast-paced life.

It is her sister, Xiuge, and Sophia who are quietly changing her. Looking at those...

      bias

      All beings, any "I think" is a prejudice, there is no right or wrong, and the values ​​inherent in each person are just one of many values! So I can only talk about my prejudice, but try to be more objective!
            "Purple" is simply all-encompassing and huge, each character can lead to a piece of history, more than a thousand words can describe!
             Why is it called purple? Perhaps purple is the color that is closest to black from black to white, which also shows the embarrassing...

      It is also sensational. Personally, I think Spielberg's purple is more solid than a war horse. The whole play combines a huge power under calm, like a decadent purple under...

    Movie plot

    A strong cast including Whoopi Goldberg, Danny Glover, Oprah Winfrey, Adolph Caesar, Rae Dawn Chong, Akosua Busia and Willard Pugh make the film a superb performance. The film was shot in a lovely place in North Carolina, and Quincy Jones' soul-catching music also added a lot to the film.
