"The Color Purple" film-Describe the changes that Celie and Shug go through (Provide examples from the scene)..

I have watched the movie, “The Color Purple” by Steven Spielberg. It is really an interesting movie and I do really enjoy myself watching the movie.

The film starts by introducing about the life of a poor African American girl, Celie, whose was being abused since she is young. By the time she is fourteen, she has already had two children by her father, (which is supposed to be her stepfather). He takes them away from her at childbirth and forces Celie to marry a local widower whom she calls "Mister”, but his name is Albert Johnson. Mister, who likes Celie's sister, Nettie, treats Celie like a slave, ask and forced her clean up his household and take care of his children.

Then, the jazz singer Shug Avery, for whom Mister has admired for many years, comes to live with him and Celie. Finally they become close friends and Shug helps Celie begin to see her appeal as a human being. They also became friend because of the nice and good treatment that was showed by Celie towards Shug.

After befriend with Celie, Shug, which at first is someone that felt her life is useless and always give up, get the courage to face with her father and finally she did it. Shug and her father already accept each other and their relationship became close again. The film ends when Nettie and Celie's children, Adam and Olivia, are reunited with Celie at last. Both Celie and Shug live happily with their own life together with their family.
