the color purple

one of the movies on my list of films to watch is the color purple. i've not seen it yet. i'm familiar with its cast and how difficult it'd been for some to receive a part to play. i'm aware of some of the tension in the film, because i've seen pieces of it, here and there, of that ugliness.

one such scene is when shug avery stands at the door, waiting. celie's waiting to see the woman's eyes.

and so shug finally raises them to scrutinize celie, and her opinion is not a kind one. "you sho' is ugly."

i'm supposed to watch this movie. there's a really big part of me that wishes i could skip it. i hate films in which the women treat other women with such disgregard.

i used to love purple.
