Oh That Harpo...

One reader Qadeer, had this thoughtful thing to say about the Color Purple:

'I can't think of another film that so many black women can quote line for line, and though it won plenty of awards, I believe it's appeal to women is one of the main reasons that this film doesn't get the critical recognition it deserves.'

It might have been that, or the fashionable hate of Steven Spielberg at the time it was made. Or maybe the haterade of Oprah, who didn't get her due in this film or Beloved (which is one of my faves, and oddly, not one person voted for).

This clip is a Sims version that I thought was pretty clever.
