Graeme O'Neil highlights the "ensemble" of the big screen musical "The Color Purple" and takes a look behind-the-scenes as Oprah Winfrey, Taraji P. Henson, and director Blitz Bazzawule sing their praises.
This movie is so deep and rich in our culture...I loved every minute of it. From the soulful singing, dancing, stepping and tap dancing...everything was just wonderful! #iloveus
For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. Deut 7:6 This is about yall black people but they lied to yall.
The Color Purple was excellent! Great singing, dancing and acting! It doesn't have white blonde dolls coming to life though so I hope that isn't a deterrent for any of you? It definitely has more heart than the majority of films released this year.
I wouldnt say the movie is a flop base on data presented. The studio really didnt have that much faith in the project. Thats why they estimated it coming in 10-13 million. The fact they passed what was expected was a win especially a black musical
Thank you for this video, Mr. O'Neil. Everything about the movie was beautiful. I saw it twice and loved it even more the second time. The soundtrack is also a wonderful gift.
Ok so if y'all were having such a good time on set why tf would y'all come out and say there was mistreatment they ain't doing nothing but covering f&t's affair that's it that's all
Now they really exaggerated with the fake ice🙄 88 times Chile pls I would've been went home💯. I want to see that fake ahh what about love kiss 88 times that's what I wanna see not some fake ahh ice🙄🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️
Don’t blame the studio. The movie just want good. There are a lot of low budget movies that end up doing well. And this movies budget was not as low as people think.
Sir” Did you really think The Sing was Gonna be Sang Exactly like the Artist That originally Sang Them!😵💫 They way they sang and Dance is Know as “True” Joy! ( From the Sprit Within) Better Known As……SOUL MUSIC!!! Which I’m Convinced You Have No! Knowledge Of🤦🏾 It’s one of those Things” That Can Not! Be TAUGHT 🤷🏽♀️
Christy...I didnt say anything about singing it the exactly same way the artist originally sang them. I said that the songs they were singing behind the scenes (that were written approximately a century later from when the story took place) were historically inaccurate AS A JOKE. Because, of course, those moments weren't actually in the film so they could sing whatever the heck they wanted. I literally laughed as I said it to make sure people understood I was joking. Jeez.
@@GraemeONeil Man these ppl are out their minds don't worry i can say this cause im black YOU CAN NEVER PLS THEM THEY ALWAYS HAVE AN ATTITUDE ABOUT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THEY'RE BIPOLAR ASF, AND THAT'S THE STRAIGHT UP TRUTH POINT BLANK AND PERIOD💯💯💯
It's too bad the movie is flopping. Seems like everyone put their blood, sweat and tears into this. Also, " If I Ruled The World" is a Kurtis Blow song, not Lauryn Hill or Nas.
@@michaelmaps2004 The movie cost $100 million to make. It only pulled in $18 million on Christmas, $7 million the day after and $3 million dollar yesterday. That's a 61 percent drop. It keeps dropping every day. Trust me WB is NOT happy. They lost a lot of money. They will not make their investment back. I know you want to be hopeful but lets' call a spade a spade. Tyler Perrys' movies do better than that. That's why a lot of folks were saying that they should've never made this remake and came up with an original idea
That’s a lot of money in 3 days. It hasn’t even had its opening weekend. Let alone open internationally. Let’s save our judgement until this movie has had some time and opened in other markets.
It wasn’t as great as they made it seem it was but it was good for what they were trying to do. Coming towards the end of the flim I started getting into it
