Journal Entry No. 7 ( Movie- The Color Purple)

Describe the changes that Celie and Shug go through. Provide examples from the movie scenes.

From movie The Color Purple, Steven Spielberg there are two specific characters, that is Celie and Shug. The hardship of life had changed Celie from gutless woman into a brave woman. Celie is an obedient wife who would do anything that has been asked by her ungrateful husband. It is really an interesting movie and I do really enjoy myself watching the movie. This movie moves me to the point of tears. It is sad and beautiful. The acting is incredible. This movie took place around Southern United States during the 1900s. The film starts by introducing about the life of a poor African American girl, Celie, whose was being abused since she is young. By the time she is fourteen, she has already had two children by her father, (which is supposed to be her stepfather), who takes them away from her at childbirth and forces Celie to marry a local widower whom she calls "Mister”, but his name is Albert Johnson. Mister, who likes Celie's sister, Nettie, treats Celie like a slave, ask and forced her clean up his household and take care of his children. One day, Nettie comes to live with them, and spend time together and Nettie begins to teach Celie how to read. After Nettie refuses Mister, he kicks her out.
