The Color Purple (1985) - You've Got Mail


Listen Later

In this episode, check the mail for news from your sibling because we are talking about the evocative and poignant, The Color Purple (1985). Released in 1985 by Steven Spielberg, we accompany Celie through three decades of her life as she learns where she belongs in the world. Through the power of sibling pattycake, learning what the sky is, and a kerosene emergency we will watch Celie transform from a tool into a bird in the sky. 

You'll learn about the behind the scenes collaboration with Spielberg and Quincy Jones as well as the beginning of Spielberg's transition into mature storytelling. We also take a look at the financials, award buzz, and our own personal rankings of enjoyment.
