The Color Purple?!
Question:
The Color Purple?
Why is it called The Color Purple? I've never understood what the movie has to do with that color......
Answers:
The title derives from a discussion between Celie and Shug about faith. In describing what God does to please people, Shug says, "I think it pisses God off when people walk by the color purple and don't notice it." After Celie asks what God does in response, Shug replies that he creates something else people will see, because God just wants to be loved. The discussion leads the rekindling of Celie's faith despite years of abuse and neglect.
I still don't see what that has to do with purple, but that's the reason they gave LOL.
