People seem to change all of the time, and there is always a reason for why they changed. Some people believe that people never change, and that may be true in some cases.

When people do change there could be multiple reasons for the reasons they changed, they could met someone new, had a tragic experience in their life, or had to leave for awhile and then managed to return.

This is a movie that allows everyone to relate to it differently and in ways that start to help you understand life and how it works. No one will ever know what Celie had to go through, or how it felt to be her, I know that you would have to be an incredibly strong, mentally and physically, and that not a lot of people today could have traded positions with her and lived. The times are changing but one thing will always remain the same, “it pisses God off when you walk by the colour purple in a field and don’t notice it.”
