pickAn in-depth look at the making of the movie version of The Color Purple, rather than the author memoir I was expecting. I enjoyed this look into Walker‘s psyche. I confess I never saw the movie (we were young and poor in the late 80s and didn‘t go out much) but 👇🏻
Lcsmcat 👆🏻 I was aware of the issues she discussed and the protests at the time. But as much as I love Oprah and Whoopi, this moves me more to reread the novel than to see the film. 🤷🏻♀️ And to seek out Walker‘s other work, particularly![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens: ProseTheBookHippie The late 80s I worked three jobs and was putting myself through school trying to keep a roof over my head and food in my belly 😵💫 I didn‘t see that in theaters it was never at the 25 or 50 cent midnight movie. 1mo

Lcsmcat @TheBookHippie That was the 80s for us - freelance musician, substitute teacher - but at least we were in it together. 😊 1mo
