The Color Purple (6/6) Movie CLIP - Reunited (1985) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Shug (Margaret Avery) watch as Nettie (Akosua Busia) reunites Celie (Whoopi Goldberg) with her son and daughter.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Alice Walker, The Color Purple spans the years 1909 to 1949, relating the life of Celie (Whoopi Goldberg), a Southern black woman virtually sold into a life of servitude to her brutal husband, sharecropper Albert (Danny Glover). Celie pours out her innermost thoughts in letter form to her sister Nettie (Akousa Busia), but Albert has been hiding the letters Nettie writes back, allowing Celie to assume that Nettie is dead. Finally, Celie finds a champion in the don't-take-no-guff Sofia (Oprah Winfrey), the wife of Glover's son from a previous marriage. Alas, Sofia is "humbled" when she is beaten into submission by angry whites. Later, Celie is able to forge a strong friendship with Albert's mistress Shug (Margaret Avery). Emboldened by this, Celie begins rifling through her husband's belongings and finds Nettie's letters. Able at last to stand up to her husband, Celie leaves him to search for a new life on her own. A major box-office hit, The Color Purple was nominated for eleven Oscars. The film was co-produced by Quincy Jones, who also wrote the score.

Whoopi really shines in this scene. She could have been much more overtly emotional, yet she seems to enter a kind of shock. Pretty awesome acting.

[steves]

This movie should have swept the oscar's in every category.

[laclaircountry]

I seriously don't understand how anyone could dislike this clip. It's just so touching, happiest part of the film--Celie got her sister and her family back, and numerous friends backing her. Couldn't ask for a better ending, Steven Spielberg (for a white guy putting together a movie centered around blacks) did an absolutely awesome job making this movie.

[ThisisDanBell]

One of the greatest films ever made. When Shug realizes Albert made the reunion happen and that music swells, I’m finished.

[raymunter]

The language is Lingala spoken in my country Congo 🇨🇩❤️❤️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 best movie

[itsjemmabond]

I love the bright colours they are wearing. It definitely symbolises a bright future.

[untypicalemu]

I cry when her babies say “mama” it’s so heartwarming on how she got reunited with her babies

[sherlynebarasa]

the last girl is speaking in swahili! didnt expect to hear my language lol
this was a great movie, almost brought me to tears.

[mgeek]

He doesn't say a word, but in his last close-up, Danny Glover can bring me to tears with his reaction. It is a look of genuine happiness for Celie and her family but he's also happy that he played a part in her happiness. Perhaps there is some redemption in store for him.

[LfcFanGav]

The last bit was sad. The moment Albert finally felt remorse for his ill treatment of Celie. Who was a truly beautiful soul. And in life its the people like that who are most vulnerable. They become prey to be trod on. Sad but true. But it was nice to see Albert realise that at last, and feel the pain of guilt in his heart. Great movie they all dererved Oscars.

[transcubadam]

Mister finally did right by Celie... I love this movie so much... I'm sitting here crying like a baby, and I've seen this scene at least 50 times...

[laurynalana]

That's the only good thing Albert did for Celie

[TheSilverphoenix]

This film earned 12 Academy nominations and won

[thecapricornsign]

Celie deserved to be happy and rediscover your family because she suffered a lot from the abuse and mistreatment of Albert! Finally after many years, Celie and Nettie are back together but also had her two children, Adam and Olivia back. :) "The Color Purple" is one of the movies that I like, especially for its history. :)

[pokemovieguy]

I love this film and to see Celie reunited with her family was an emotional scene! I also liked the fact that Mister (Albert) changed his evil ways and decided to help Celie see her family again. He got his ways from his father and Celie left him all alone he realized that he didn't want to end up like his father, old and grumpy. He knew it was his fault for separating the sisters apart and he was man enough to make things right! I like that part the most!

[justme]

the ending of the color purple always makes me cry.

[sommy]

shame on the oscars, , , , the best acting ever, , , , isnt whoopi a brilliance....

[islandgirl]

He finally did only what was right at the end ; abused Celie in every way, belittled her, and she survived!! You can't keep doing wrong forever!

[JLDReactions]

WHOOPI DESERVED THE OSCAR THIS YEAR. Spielberg created a BEAUTIFUL CLASSID THIS YEAR. NO ONE CAN EVEN REMEMBER THE OTHER NOMINEES THAT ONE.

[christopherrowan]

One of the most beautiful films ever produced. A film of such life-affirming and thought provoking power, it never fails to reduce me to a blubbering wreck!

Fabulous.
