‘The Color Purple’ Lost Warner Bros $40 Million

[RennisDeynolds]

People are tired of Black trauma porn

Enough of the bullshyt

Make black movies that make us laugh, make us fall in love, that thrill us, that scare us, that get us excited in a good way or all of the above …


Save that abuse and jail and man hating for another era …

Save the slavery movies for that era too…

Are they? Jordan Peele just dresses it up differently in his movies

 

[RennisDeynolds]

Did Taraji get paid though

To you I guess.

I never said that …

my point is people complain about "black trauma" and "slavery" related movies and shows, but give a complete pass to the constant barrage of goofy drug dealer related shows or nowadays black "reality" tv shows.

shyt is retarded

I get that …

I don’t watch them either

I’ve never watched an episode of Power - or any of the spinoffs

I only watched Family Business because of boredom and couldn’t stop watching …

But usually I avoid stuff like that …

A remake made no sense. Probably were better off just re releasing the old movie

Or just setting the masters and all copies on fire along with the books.

I still loved this movie

I don't know what ppl were complaining about

 

[shutterguy]

Only reason I would watch this is to see wifey H.E.R. in her acting debut. Might just fast forward through it just to her parts.

Here I was thinking the Color Purple was an universally loved black classic…then I come in here to see all these grown ass men whining and complaining about “anti-man propaganda” like insecure self-aggrieved cacs back lashing against black history month

The internet is destroying people’s minds

I took my mom to see it and thought it was cheesy as a musical…but never once considered all this silly ass incel babble attached to it

/thread.

99% of this thread is a bunch of perpetually online n*ggas regurgitating shyt they've been indoctrinated with via Youtube and social media. I've literally never come across a single black person in my entire life that had an issue with The Color Purple. Aside from Malcolm X and maybe The Wiz, it's probably the most revered black movie in my lifetime.

So of course TLR is against it, lol.

[O.T.I.S.]

Honestly

Only reason I never saw the movie was because I saw the original and I’m tired of slave ass movies


Especially in this one with the black man being the main villain or something.


I’m sure it was done well too… but I’ve been over it since 12 Years a Slave.


As far as those drug dealing shows, idgaf about them either… white or black. I haven’t even started The Wire, Never watched the Sopranos, didn’t care to finish Breaking Bad, etc.

A Very good cam is out, my brother showed my mom, I didn't see it.

The audio didn't sound that great.

This just wasn't a good rendition of the Color Purple even as a musical. Even if you have grievances with the 1985 film it was infinitely better shot and acted.
