The Trailer for The New Color Purple Film Has Dropped With Taraji, H.E.R. & Halle Bailey || What's ya Thoughts 🤔

[Crayola Coyote]

I think I tried to watch beloved as a teen ,,,I never could finish watching it,, I always stop around 20 minutes in ,,,,I guess it just looked depressing or something

Dawg, that movie still haunts me. No thanks, will not give it a second run it never gets better in the movie. Just trauma porn if you are a white supremacist

 

[Lord-Yosh]

Im not watching that torture porn shyt,,, the first is like a damn horror movie as i got older,,

Danny Glover was super villain

I peeped when I was 9. Fuvk this bs and the original

The original was fine?! This thread will surely bring them all out.

Fine as in we didn't need a reboot. Some things just don't need to be revisited. I am curious how this "musical" will fair

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

taraji was a great pick - visually - for shug

it looks decent, but of course you gotta be in the mood to watch TCP. i'll fire it up on demand with my mom, for whatever reason, that was one of her favorite movies back in the day

 

[Mʀ2ᴋDᴇᴇᴢ]

No lie, I came in expecting to trash this but it looks pretty damn good to me. Stellar cast, too.

See here's the thing that's kinda pissing me off about this "reboot". The original was brutal due to the undertones of racism in the rural south, as well as incest and pedophilia. It shows the deep roots of the aftereffects after slavery with a twang of comedy. It told a tale of three worlds:

• A black girl turned woman in a prison of physical and mental abuse (she wants to be free and be with her sister)
• A black woman that fought all her life and end up falling down due to true racism (she wants to be free from both sides of the coin)
• A black woman that's a prisoner to vanity and trying to find refuge of her past mistakes (free from the ministry that her father caged her in)
• A black man that carried on the harmful deeds of his father, and his father's father (need to break the chain)
• A black girl seeking her sister embracing the motherland, but at the cost of growing up without a past, except her sister (Shes free but at a cost)

This piece of wombat turds will be a soulless quick buck for Hollyweird to cash in on the desperation of movie goers to see something familiar. Its honestly insulting because nobody remaking Casablanca or fukking Gone With The Wind...because those movies are no-fly zones for the vultures.

So a musical about Black trauma and a despicable breh ..on xmas

Its poetry .

fukk it, lets remake Cornbread, Earl, and Me and make it a anime.......


Wait....


That shyt actually sounds pretty good

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Musicians do cover songs all the time.
Also there are tons of tribute bands

And shyt even More corny than movie remakes!


But my example was a fukking ALBUM

Looks like it will be good. Halle Bailey is really getting her time to shine and I’m not mad at it.


I saw the color purple musical on Broadway years ago, and it was really good. I love musicals. I will be supporting Halle, Fantasia, and Taraji so I’ll be watching.

Yes it’s a depressing movie (book was depressing too) but its good. I know why some Brehs may not like it, but Alice walker admitted that the characters were based on a love triangle involving her grandfather who was terribly abusive and was meant to be reflective of what was taking place during those times.

 

[ChatGPT-5]

I was trashing it until I saw "produced by Spielberg"

I instantly said out loud "Oh this shyt gon be fire!!!

produced by Spielberg, Winfrey, Quincy Jones soundtrack. This musical adaption might actually be fire.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Yall trippin, it looks good

It’s worth a remake, and it looks like it’s based off the broadway play

I didn’t know all those people were involved, it looks like it will be fire.

I understand but this is about women trying find strength navigating being raped and abused. Dream girls had an element of singing and women navigating the music industry. This is just very depressing and adapting the musical won’t change that . You would need to be wired different to want to see film like this on the holiday.

I wasn’t comparing the films, I’m saying with this being a Black classic (same as Dreamgirls) the studio is planning on raking in money, reason alone it’s being released on Christmas. No need to be re-wired differently; people are going to watch regardless.

Y’all OD’ing with this “Black trauma porn”. It’s really not that deep.
