The Color Purple | "Fight My Whole Life" Clip | Warner Bros. Entertainment

Oprah was a better actress than given credit for.

Whoopi and Oprah should have won Oscars for this. Period.

I did my lady book report on this. It was my last grade to finish high school.

Whoopi and Oprah gave the debut performances of a lifetime, in this classic…

Oprah haha

I adore the detail of Celie dropping the scarecrow to watch Sofia march away.
It’s as if that was the moment that began her journey of self-emancipation instead of devoting her energy into holding up a man!

They shouldn't remake this movie, it truly is a classic that should be left as it is.💜

If you didn’t know…All my life I had to fight is the opening line of Kendricks Alright.

Am i the only one that thought about "it was the ol mule..." "Naw that ain't no hoof print that looks like a fist..."🤣🤣🤣

This movie was brilliant. (I'm only half joking when I tell people I started crying during the opening credits!)

We gon' be alright.

Oprah didn’t play this role easily for nothing. It hits a little close to home if you know what I mean.. Harpo knows that fist print came from Sofia 😅.

I swear, in France people constantly channel Sofia before they go off to rioting over every small things they don’t like about our government. France definitely has a “state vs people” dysfunctional relationship that is similar to that of Harpo and Sofia.

Love oprah!!! She was amazing in this movie!

Theres nothing more heartwarming then sleeping in a place full of people wanting me dead lol

Tyler Perry kind of ruin this scene for me because everytime I see it I just think of Madea and Daddy Charles 😆

Academy award winning 👏 🙌

Classic

Now I see where made a got that line from

It's true, we all love our partners but if they lay a finger on us, it's on! A spouse has NO right to hit you!

Lol,lol, i can't wit you. Lol

This is an okay movie but certainly not a masterpiece.

I finally know where madea got her line she says a lot.

Amen

Aaaall my life I have been beaten by whimen my mommy my sister a boy child ain't safe in a woman's world no more

Who else is here because of Jesse Lee Peterson?

Be waitin for you at 3 o' clock

Jesse brought me here

Oprah owes Harry an apology.

Ahh the opening line in the parody is almost the same!

Madea copied this in the family reunion film.

Any Jesse Lee Peterson watchers?

I allways had to fight 😅😅😅😅😅

One of my favorite lines in the whole film girl u better bash mister head open & think bout heaven later 😂😂👀❣️🗯️😂🙃😂I use to know all the dialouge..... Myb for many characters, for all idr... 🤷 💜💜💜💜

You told Harpo to beat me 😂😂😂

I'm literally the dumbest person alive, because it took me FOREVER to realize Harpo is Oprah backwards🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

this is my life for real

Dead Son in Law? But he ain't her Son in Law, he's her stepson.

Sophia was set on ready....

Lololol. O lawd this is funny

This clip is timeless. This moves me.

I wonder why she preferred doing a talk show over an acting

Amazin'

Man, I had two choices, go do catering for The Color Purple, or Stephen king's Silver Bullet. I chose Silver Bullet, I wanted to meet Stephen King in person which I did. But, I regret I didnt go do catering for The Color Purple. I think I would've make a long lasting friendship with Oprah. Both movies were filmed at the same time in North Carolina.

Oprah Winfrey didn't deserve the honorary Oscar, she deserved the winning the Oscar for playing Sophia in The Color Purple, yes.

Ms Sophia taught me everything I need to know about women and domestic violence! She shaped my whole way of thinking.

This part was 1000 times better in the book.

Anyone here because of Jesee Lee Peterson 😄😄😄🤪🤪😂😂
