watched the color purple and the casting was so good but wow the movie really decided to nix about 80% of celie and shug's relationship and all the sex and shug and albert's backstory and mary agnes and sofia's relationship and the whole thing of celie giving up on god and writing to nettie and then unlearning the white male god and almost everything about nettie's relationship with samuel and corrine and the children and

#i enjoyed the movie!! but it doesn't pack half as much of an emotional punch as the book #because it cut so many of the significant things #there's so much more i wish they kept #like celie confessing to sofia that she was jealous and how celie started making pants #and i'm not sure how it could have been remedied bc movies have limited time but like #nettie's time in africa was so short #the reason the olinka losing their homes hits so much in the book #is because we had time to get to know them first #it's still a good adaptation i'd say but. lacking #the color purple #alice walker #peevesie speaks
