Dear God,
What did postage stamps cost back in the 80s? 11 Oscar nominations? Danny Glover's dignity? One thing's for sure, after the film adaption, Alice Walker's novel The Color Purple demanded to be "returned to sender."
Kelly is sending love letters to Alice Walker's 1982 Pulitzer Prize winning book. It might be a little more gritty, but it's a heavenly trip to finding your self worth. Even Jimmy admits that you can pick up the beautiful sentiments- to not to is a sin.
The film introduced the world to Whoopi Goldberg but left out the sincerity of the novel. Spielberg giveth and he taketh away. Jimmy and Oprah are ready to take a swing at defending this dated piece. Then again maybe it's time to skip the written word and phone home.
Whatever color aura you're rocking, you have to admit that this book deserved its awards. The movie might have just been a shade off. Join us on this episode for a riveting session of social politics patty cake.
