a good book
I had to read this book for a college english class and I thought it was very appropriate. I think it might be harder for kids of a younger age to read jsut because it doesnt use proper english. Although there are some iffy issues, I think its things that kids will learn sooner or later. I think 10 and above or even 13 would be a good age for this book. I think it gives you an idea of what it was like back in those times in the south. For some younger kids it may have too many mature issues so I would suggest reading it first or even reading it with your kid and going over the issues discussed. Overall, I think it was a good read.

Female empowerment + anti-racism= Great film.
The Color Purple is Whoopi's. She owns, makes and elevates it. Maybe a little over-sentimental, but it's undeniably powerful.
That being said, the movie does contain some material that is not appropriate for kids. Racism and sexism are the film's main troubles, and Celie beats them all. There's semi.explicit sexual content, some foul language, horrific violence against women, smoking and drinking.
But the ending is, by all means, extremely moving. If your kids are mature enough, you should consider watching it with them and discussing issues of race, violence and respect for women.

A Great Film for a More Mature Audience
This was a great film that deals with many issues, most of them not appropriate for children. However, for the more mature, older teen, there are very positive messages, such as standing up for yourself, the power of family, redemption, etc.

The Color Purple Is The best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Color Purple is so Beautiful! It's Just so F---ing Perfect. It's Really sad and I Recommend It for Really Mature Older Teens. Because immature Teens might giggle or make fun of the beating, Sexuality and other Mature Theme. I don't think that stuff is funny but like I said Immature people might think it's funny when It's not. I Give The Color Purple 5 Out Of 5 Stars It's Just Perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I RATE The Color Purple AGE: 14+. The Color Purple is Just one of the best movies I've ever seen in many years. The Color Purple is Just The best!. I absolutely Recommend The Color Purple!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
