I'm a self like the whole movie and I have it listed at my top five movie of all times the Oscar committee should we watch the movie then passed them all out Oscars because they missed the boat best movie 1985 in my opinion
I mean the way she put those two fingers up though. That little notion has so much power in it. That was her victorious moment, and my favorite part of the movie. The only part i like better is when the sisters reunited and she met her children for the first time.
@@lovingatlanta Im poor, im black and i may even be ugly but dear god im here. Im here! Personally im not black but I am a minority and i realy felt that in my soul when she said that. Ive also have a lot of health problems in my life but somehow im still here alive and kicking.
It just dawned on me, her saying 'Dear God- I'm here!' is her writing another letter to God OUTLOUD, reminding him that she was still alive and ready to receive his blessings if he was still willing to send them.
***** That's an unexpected comparison but it's actually very accurate. I don't feel Steven Spielberg sugar coated the movie. He's this kind of directors like Robert Zemericks, Brad Bird...who works with that classic style of simple and plain emotion, and sometimes critics are very cinic with this kind of cinema. They're accuse movies like The purpre colour, Forrest Gump, etc...of being to "soft" "cheesy" or "not cool enough" but even though I love the "New Cinema" (Richard Linklater, David Fincher...) or Experimental Cinema (David Lynch) I can appreciate this classic cineme. I loved Atonement as well.
I don’t know much about Hollywood but I heard that Spielberg wasn’t well thought of at the time which could have influenced votes. Racism could have played a part and they were up against some serious competition.
Simple law of physics, everything you do to others you are bringing on yourself. And if we think that there is actually no time, it has indeed already been done to you, your own doing.
The Golden Rule, Newton's Law, its the truth. We don't have to lift a finger, the Universe takes care of all. Everything you done to me has already been done to you...
What's truly amazing here is that up until this point, Celie is always shown at a lower angle than Albert which shows his power and dominance over her. When she puts her hand up as she's climbing into the car when he tries to hit her, it changes the dynamic as now Celie has gained confidence and found her voice and is now more powerful than Albert. I think that is also why Albert does not hit her as he realizes now that Celie is no longer afraid of him. Just brilliance by Spielberg and also extraordinary work form Whoopi and Danny Glover both of whom in my opinion should've won Oscars for this film. The film is that powerful.
The gesture she’s using with her fingers I believe is a way to curse someone. So she in effect scared him doubly with both her words and her gesture. And it worked!
"I'm poor, BLACK...I may even be ugly. But Dear God, I'm here! I'm here!" This was such a powerful moment in the movie and this quote just so perfectly captured Miss Celie's new found confidence! I love it so much.
Thankfully we are only stuck with them till 18,or till they throw us away. Had this kinda feeling when I was kicked out of home and local pd dropped me off at the teen shelter
This is one of the most powerful movies ever made! I'm 44 and think i've seen it at least 100 times since the 80's. This part was Celie using HER POWER that she didn't know she had, her sister tried to show her by teaching her to spell in the beginning of the movie, I never caught on to that until now. This movie was superb!
"Everything you done to me, already been done to you." This is one actual factual grimy vengeful line. Speaking for many people life time obstacles in many many ways. This is dedicated to the narcissist, for a true example: i have a cousin named Jamillah Rashada Saba 11-08-1975. And she does the exact things of spitting in people water, above & beyond the movie called: " the help," "Eat my shittt." Scene. I dedicate this colour purple scene to her from the heart. This scene is for her because she tried doing things to me, and& donot even know that it has happened to her already.
guess what too.. when she said .. the jail you planned for me is the one youre going to rot in.. told my ex that also, in 2011. hes gone and im not in ANYONES jails anymore. took me only 56 years to be free of ALL of them, but its all over now.
What a beautiful comment! It’s just like Celie, she reached an age most people might say was too late. But it wasn’t, because she was so strong. Apparently you are too! God bless ❤️
Family, she used a calming technique that Africans used in the past to calm wild animals. There was a documentary on this strategy in the 1980s. I don't know if Diane Sawyer of the Nightline show or some show similar to them produced it, but I saw this technique used by an African man who was accompanying white people on that show. It was filmed a few years before the Color Purple and I am sure this is where that came from. I been looking for it recently and have not been able to find it. Remember, Celie was getting letters from her children talking about the African people and their cultures.
This has got to be one of the most unforgettable lines in movie history. Out there with start wars “may the force ...”, Casablanca “the beginning of a beautiful”, GWTW “Frankly me dear” and Wizard of us: “not in Kansas”. I never get tired of watching TCP. It is just out of the way magnificent.
That amazing line at the end of this scene was actually turned into a song in the stage version called "I'm Here". It is absolutely beautiful & is my favorite song.😁
That hand gesture Celie does that stops Albert from hitting her reminds me of when Guinan threatened Q in Star Trek TNG. Whoopi was phenomenal in both roles.
I'm not positive but I think Celie was putting the evil eye or some type of hex or curse on Albert and that he recognized the way she held her hand. Maybe voodoo or witchcraft that the slaves had brought over and that had been handed down through generations? I've always been intrigued with that moment in the movie and would like to know more about it.
Actually, that is what everybody thought back in those days, but when Whoopi Golberg was asked about this, she said, she didn't know what it meant and that it had just come out in the heat of the moment, but that it wasn't supposed to be in that scene. Steven Spielberg liked it so much that he decided to leave it in the scene.
This was the first film i ever saw as a child about an abusive relationship, my mom had such a hard time answering all my questions but i'm glad she still explained everything to me as best she could.
I’m sorry but Whoopi was robbed of the Oscar that year! There was no other actress that could of played Ms. Celie like she did! The entire cast was perfection! Mr. Glover was excellent as “mister” because we all hated his guts and wanted to kick his ass! His daddy’s too!
I was so young when I first saw this movie, but I knewwwwwww I didn't like that man when he said "I heard she got that nasty woman's disease..." and don't get me started on Celie's father... everyone in the movie did well with the character portrayals
I totally love this movie. I love the way Celie overcame all of those abusers and bullies who had belittled her soul throughout her life. But by the life of me, as a foreigner trying to understand this movie, what does Celie's gesture with the three fingers--and the ensuing curse represent??? I mean, why did this big man, about to woop Celie got stop on his tracks with fear???
Ok folks, I am going to say this for the last time, this has nothing to do with witchcraft or voodoo, Mr. was simply surprised that it was the first time that Celie raised her hand to him as to fight him back; in other words, she saw him as equals, remember she had always lived under his command and she had to do whatever he wanted, but now, Celie had found out that she was no longer under his laws and demands, nor she had to do what he wanted, therefore, he was shocked. This can also be seen or understood by the fact that she said "Everything you've done to me, I've already done to you." She told him, we are equals now, you haven't got any more power over me. There is nothing you can do to me, that I won't do back to you.
I will share her Freedom & Excitement, from my family's physical & mental abuse; & BONDAGE in 10 days!!!✔️ (I'm about to break a lot of hearts, just by leaving!!!) 🙏✝️💜🕊️
This movie been out for years never in my life I didn't think I had to really look & meditate due to someone call me old bold headed & ugly Cecile really gave me some courage without fighting
I reckon Whoopi is a beautiful looking woman with a good figure but Hollywood never really presented her looks as beautiful which is a shame, she had good legs, neck like a swan, pretty features but I guess she didn't look European enough for hollyweird.
How the hell this didn't win Best Picture and Best Director for Spielberg, Best Actress for Goldberg, Best Supporting Actress for Winfrey (those two alone should've cinched it) is a damn shame even 36 years later. People also criticized Spielberg for being a white man (a Jew) who directed a movie about black people. He had the guts to make this movie and it became a masterpiece which should've swept the Oscars that year. The film that did win (Out Of Africa with Meryl Streep and Robert Redford) about a white woman living in Africa was a snooze fest. This was far superior and engaging.
"I'm poor, black, I maybe ugly but dear God, I'm here! I'm here!" My favorite line out of this entire movie :P
TheSacredImmortal that's my favourite quote too
Yass I live for that line 😫😭❤️
I'm a self like the whole movie and I have it listed at my top five movie of all times the Oscar committee should we watch the movie then passed them all out Oscars because they missed the boat best movie 1985 in my opinion
Fr!
Its my favorite line too. I'm ugly, but because I'm not beautiful doesn't mean you can't be somebody
"The jail you planned for me is where you'll gonna ROT IN." The most powerful sharp words she ever said to him!
I looked up that line for the newly indicted by Fantastic Fanni in Fulton County Forever imprisoned Donald John.
I still think this is the greatest movie ever made. To see Celie empower herself and rise up above her oppressor is a theme I take throughout my life.
I agree. I saw it with my Mom late one evening when I was young and I never forgot it. Undoubtedly the greatest film ever made.
I mean the way she put those two fingers up though. That little notion has so much power in it. That was her victorious moment, and my favorite part of the movie. The only part i like better is when the sisters reunited and she met her children for the first time.
Stop him in his tracks.
Me.
"Hear, hear!"
👋👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
why does she put her finger up like that .. I'm missing something .. can you explain to me please.. ( I came here to find out )
@@senboy007 I don't know exactly why she did it, but she did a similar thing to Q in the Star Trek TNG episode, "Q Who."
This quote changed my life
Andy D mine too
How?
Andy D - 👍Awesome. 💝 Tell me more. There were a couple of profound quotes from that clip, which one are you referring to?
@@lovingatlanta Im poor, im black and i may even be ugly but dear god im here. Im here!
Personally im not black but I am a minority and i realy felt that in my soul when she said that. Ive also have a lot of health problems in my life but somehow im still here alive and kicking.
Andy D - 👍That makes sense. Bless you. Keep moving forward. Continue thinking positive thoughts. Guard your mind. Bless you. 💞
It just dawned on me, her saying 'Dear God- I'm here!' is her writing another letter to God OUTLOUD, reminding him that she was still alive and ready to receive his blessings if he was still willing to send them.
“The jail you planned for me is the one you gonna rot in” ooh,that hit me so hard.
*"I may be black! Poor. Hell, I may even be ugly! But I'm here! Dear gawd I'm here!"*
I maybe poor, black, ugly but thank God. I am here. I AM HERE.
Those lines had made my gratitude more stronger than ever. 😁👏
Those lines became part of my life and of my healing process
@@albywhitelady me too. We’re here.
No. It's the "I'll knock you up under" that use to have me and my brother crying laughing
And to think those words “I’m Here” became one of the best Broadway torch songs with the ranks of And I Am Telling You and Home
"I'm poor, I'm black and might even be ugly but I'm here." Lord, what powerful words.
😭🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
One of the best moments in the cinema history. That "everything you done to me..." should have been rewarded with an Oscar. But life it's not fair...

@Ryan Perez Specially considering her background as comedian...
@@PalmurcioWorld The academy was bigoted and wanted to somehow punish Spielberg because he was a monster at the box office...
Right! This movie was robbed of every award
I don’t know much about Hollywood but I heard that Spielberg wasn’t well thought of at the time which could have influenced votes. Racism could have played a part and they were up against some serious competition.
Everything you have done to me has already been done to you!
Everything you have done to me, you have already done to you (yourself) ;-)
@@paulabuchmann5472... Hi Paula your both wrong, she said,. everything you done to me I already done to you.. lmbo
😂All of you all are wrong. She said @15-25 “everything you done to me, already done to you”. It’s one of my favorite quotes from the movie.💝
Simple law of physics, everything you do to others you are bringing on yourself. And if we think that there is actually no time, it has indeed already been done to you, your own doing.
You're all wrong! She said "everything pizza!" :)
Celies right, you reap as you sow. hopefully in love, not evil.

I’m poor, black, I may even be ugly but dear God I’m here. Best quote cause God brought you into the world he always knows your beautiful. Best quote!
I saw nothing ugly about Celie :) Maybe she didn't have that seductress look as Shug did, but Celie was still a cutey!
You have very poor taste if you think Whoopi is hot
Rather have poor taste than be a shallow schmo like you.
You actually think Whoopi Goldberg is a "cutie" man get you either have poor vision ,.crazy or some sick fetish
fashizzle78
Too each his own.

You tell him or her, Bluesieron! He or she needs to mature and consider that logic.
"But Dear God, I'm Here....." One of the most memorable quotes of all time!
Even his ancestors felt every piece of that curse she put on him!
"I'm poor, BLACK...I may even be ugly. But Dear God, I'm here! I'm here!" This was such a powerful moment in the movie and this quote just so perfectly captured Miss Celie's new found confidence! I love it so much.
She found herself Thanks to Suge Avery And herself gaining her self worth with confidence
Legendary movie , legendary Actress Whoopie Goldberg .. when she delivers that line my hairs stand at attention ... unforgettable moment in the film
Whoopi done sent shivers down my spine. This is so powerful! Like in the book.
the feeling when you surpass your abusive parent/s
Thankfully we are only stuck with them till 18,or till they throw us away.
Had this kinda feeling when I was kicked out of home and local pd dropped me off at the teen shelter
Congratulations for standing up to your abusive parents
One of the best movies of all time.
This scene gives me chills every time I see it!
she cursed him
As she should! ✊🏿♀️💪🏼
@@salmacampero6709 She gave him the Evil Eye, but in reality he cursed himself by being such a horrible person!!!
He did it to himself
This movie should be on everybody top 5! Classic! I'm a gown man and I cried when they separated the sisters. #NOTHINGBUTDEATHCANKEEPMEFROMIT
billionkek me too! It doesn’t matter how many times I see it, I’m always sobbing.
Whoppi was amazing in this movie she should have won the Oscar 4 it
I will always love this movie. The dialogue and delivery is just amazing. What a masterpiece this film is
That Jedi mind trick though

she cursed him. She reverted back to her African roots from the ancestors.
I still love watching this over and over again. It just really brings a tear to my eye and helps to give me confidence for some reason.
Celie puts all badass action movie characters to shame
"Everything you done to me, already been done to you."

I really appreciate your comment. I figured that stance was tied to an African traditional ritual, and searched online hoping to confirm this.
That level of detail is....why isn't this film on the AFI list?
This clip has changed my life together with song i'm here

I just posted something similar before finding your comment. There's a link to the Star Trek scene in case you're interested.
I’m poor..BLACK... I may even be ugly.. but Dear God! I’m Here!
BEST LINE IN ANY MOVIE EVER! 🎉
I still cannot believe this movie won no Oscars.
I agree!
Looks like Crow claws. You see how he stood there puzzled as if his body had no command?
I'm not positive but I think Celie was putting the evil eye or some type of hex or curse on Albert and that he recognized the way she held her hand.

There will never be a scene like this
I did this to my boss the other day she probably thinks I put a curse on her 😂😂😂😂
Shug said it to Celie in the COLOR PURPLE. Very powerful movie 🎥 👏
Me when I leave my ex for somebody better
Right 😁
You can also leave your ex to be with yourself. It's a valid option too.
This movie gives me the feels
i loved this movie... a movie i wish would come back in theatres
Who here is in love with the stage version of The Color Purple??
I love this film.❤
He was sick and controlling until the end until she broke free.
Everything you done to me already done to you Amen
Beautiful
No words! Jus 🙌🏾
Just realized she rode off in the trunk 😆
That was a rumble seat.
👍🌹💖 you're beautiful❤💙🌞
Deep down when Celia told Albert that he knew she was right. He deserved all the 40 years of abuse he inflicted on her.
How your mistress care about your wife more than you😭
you reap what you sow.
Over the years, I have held my hand just like that in jest to curse folks. Some know exactly who I am mimicking and other don't get it.
I think Celie trying to say to Albert what goes around comes around she serious let karma begins
Love this ending ..perfect
She also used this to stop Q in his tracks in Star Trek.
Ok folks, I am going to say this for the last time, this has nothing to do with witchcraft or voodoo, Mr. was simply surprised that it was the first time that Celie raised her hand to him as to fight him back; in other words, she saw him as equals, remember she had always lived under his command and she had to do whatever he wanted, but now, Celie had found out that she was no longer under his laws and demands, nor she had to do what he wanted, therefore, he was shocked.

Best scene in my favorite movie
The best explanation of karma ever ✨✨
Bitterness is a jail people find themselves in sometimes
I'm starting to get curious about the Color Purple.
What goes around.... will for sure come around.
I may even be ugly, who could deliver a line like that better than Whoopi?
Why don’t they make movies like this anymore?!?!
Albert Johnson is a villain
