ALICE WALKER COMMENTS ON NEW RENDITION OF ‘THE COLOR PURPLE:’ Alice Walker, the author who wrote The Color Purple in 1982, shared her thoughts on the latest rendition of the book. “I really love it that audiences have to take away the reality that Shug and Celie become lovers, because I think that we have really needed help there. We really needed to see that love is love. You know, that people love whoever they love, and it is their right to do that,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. In the 1985 version of the movie, Shug and Celie shared a brief kiss. Oprah Winfrey, who starred as Sofia in this version of the film, told the outlet that was a big deal at the time. “God, there was so much talk about that kiss in 1985, and it wasn’t even a kiss in 1985. It was like a peck. It wasn’t even a peck, it was a p,” she joked. “And we thought, certainly now you can express the nature of their relationship.”
