The movie and the Broadway musical show a glimpse of his growth, but neither delves into it too much. Here's a quick fun fact. Women receive a sentence of twenty five years when they kill their abuser. Men receive a sentence of fifteen years for killing a wife/girlfriend (the murders are usually out of anger or jealousy).

Weve all had something or other happen to us in our lives, but Celie took the cake. The mental and physical torture that woman went through wouldve left me in a straight jacket playing with my bottom lip. Celie was a strong woman mostly cause she refrained from kiling that man. Now thats self control. Whats truly amazing here is that Celie didnt kill that man. Weve all had something or other happen to us in our lives, but Celie took the cake.

I catch a Broadway show about once a month. I flew my sister up from Florida for the weekend just to watch the show. It's her favorite movie and book. Yes, I have seen the show.
