紫色的读后感

The color purple

The film tells a story of a young African girl named Celie, she separated with her litter sister, because of the unfortunately fate, and finally she challenged herself and reunion with her sister. And the film also reveals some problems in the society, including racial discrimination, and poverty, and low status of black women.

The characters in the film have their own special feature. First, Celie is a black woman, and never want to change her fate, and just want to live. She was raped by her step-father, and has two children with him. Then married a selfish, rude man, has to do all the housework, look after the naughty children, and bear the bad temper or maybe the violence from her husband. And she also thinks all these things she should have it, just because she is a black woman. So she asked Harbor (her husband’s son) to beat his wife, Sofia, a woman dared to govern her own home. And we will find that Celie had never called a man’s name, she always calls: “father, sir or he”, she is afraid of them deeply in her heart. Celie, she had never received a letter from her litter sister, until one day, she finally found all the letters that hidden by Albert with the help of Shug. And from my perspective, it

is the letters that wake up Celie’s mind, encourage Celie say no to her fate, and left Albert.

The second person is Shug, and she is the person I loved so much in the film, and we know most of the people in the film love Shug. For her, rude Albert is willing to cook by himself and opened a bar, just want to see her smile. Celie love Shug, too. And even willing to share husband with her, and be her maid. And eventually they become close friend and Shug helps Celie raise her confidence. Shug is a beautiful woman that dare to pursuit her happiness, and bring laugh and hope to the people around her.

The third person is Celie’s sister, Nettie. Thought there are no specific descriptions of her, but we can know what kind of person she is, by the letters she gives to Celie. She has found her own value by helping other blacks, and has done a lot of kind things in the Africa. Maybe she has realized the beauty of nature, and the beauty of life.

At the end of the movie, Sofia and harbor lived a happy life, Shug finally forgiven by her father; Celie opened a haberdashery selling slacks, and inherited a house from her real father. And Albert begin to introvert himself after Celie’s leaving, and feels guilty for Celie, so he go to the immigration office, and arranges

a family reunion with Nettie for Celie with all his money.

Although the major conflict of this film is about the black woman and black man, but we can clearly feel the racial discrimination, the mayor’s wife and Sofia’s conflict, Sofia refuse to tolerate the insult of the mayor, so she just jailed for years, and be depart from her children. Racism is deeply rooted in people’s heart, and never can be easily getting rid of. And so do the feminism, even now, there are still a lot of women can not get the equal politic, economic and social rights, and equal opportunities, so I think whatever the racism or male dominated, we should try our best to eliminate privilege, inequalities, and build a harmonious and a fair society.
