I basically took something that was extremely erotic and very intentional, and I reduced it to a simple kiss. In that sense, perhaps I was the wrong director to acquit some of the more sexually honest encounters between Shug and Celie, because I did soften those.
“There were certain things in the relationship between Shug Avery and Celie that were very finely detailed in Alice’s book, that I didn’t feel we could get a rating,” he said. The acclaimed director has previously spoken out on criticism he received at the time of release. The story sees a romance relationship develop between characters Celie and Shug, her husband’s mistress, but Steven Spielberg’s 1985 cinematic adaptation reduces their relationship to one kiss – so we’d perhaps recommend reading the book over watching the (to be fair, otherwise beautiful) movie, in this case. Alice Walker’s novel, The Color Purple tells the story of two Black women who become lovers.
