The Face Biters Movie of the month - Color Purple



The Colour Purple starring Danny Glover, Oprah Winfrey, and Whoopi Goldberg. Nominated for almost a dozen Academy awards, including Best Picture. Whoopi Goldbergs oscar nod for Best Leading Actress, and Oprah for best supporting actress. This scene is by far my favourite scene in the movie.
Celie (Whoopi Goldberg) has decided to finally leave her abusive husband, "Mister" (Danny Glover) as called by everyone except his father, who refers to him by his name, Albert. Sofia (Oprah Winfrey) has been incarcerated for a lengthy period of time, and released into the custody of a white woman, further sentenced to be her maid. She's lost her will to exist and feels alienated from her family, and her children, whom she hasnt seen in years.

Oprahs acting in this scene is PHENOMENAL.
Definitely one of the most powerful scenes of the movie, and possibly one of the greatest monologues of all time.
