Aidreudtate7 this is exactly what I experienced. The movie ended in the middle. This movie is defective and should be removed by the library. I will need to check out another copy of it. Littlenoname....there may be three copies but…

The dvd copy isn't the whole movie. In the scene options, it says Side A. I thought side B would be on the other side of the dvd, but it's not. And there's only 1 disc in the case. I'm confused.

Exquisite title! Excellent movie that depicts racial tensions that result in forgiveness and compassion!

The color purple is the color of bruises, the color of passion, and the color of the sort of prose Steven Spielberg is often accused of creating on film. The first time we saw the movie we thought it was the ultimate emotional roller…

This is a masterpiece. Whoopi and Oprah deservedly won Oscars. All the actors were outstanding. Heartbreakingly good story so well written. Don’t be afraid to feel this movie.

Adam was standing right next to Eve as Evil came upon her and, as today, the majority of men do ZERO to protect her. No matter the color, men are still abusing, hating, and leaving women to blow in the wind while they live for…

Couldn't get into it, therefore I didn't finish it. Some of this was due to the fact that it kept skipping 5-10 minute chunks at a time. May try in the future as there are 3 copies. Til then, its a waste of time in my book.

Laughably bad- I don't know what Spielberg was thinking. Talk about overrated- this is the MOST overrated movie out there.

I had a lot of mixed feelings whilst watching this film. Even though it had plenty of powerful, poignant scenes, music and characters, I still felt that it fell flat at times. I also suspected it to hold its own throughout like "Fried…

This is a very dark movie and difficult to watch, but it will make you feel.

This is one of my favourite movies! There were some parts where I was crying my eyes out and some really touching moments. This is a MUST- SEE movie.

One of the best movies I've seen. A classic. Whoopi Goldberg is excellent.
