Synopsis Steven Spielberg's adaptation of Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about the life of a poor black woman in rural Georgia and her process of self-discovery. "The Color Purple" opens in 1909 when the heroine Celie is a young girl, a victim of incest pregnant with her father's child. Ugly and unloved, separated from her children and her sister, Celie's only option is marriage to an abusive, philandering husband who treats her little better than a slave. Things change when her husband brings his mistress, a beautiful blues singer named Shug, into the house. Through her relationship with this loving and sensual woman, Celie experiences joy and a sense of self-worth for the first time.
