Quick Thought: The Color Purple (2023): Sanitizing literature for the mainstream?
But one thing I'll say, and I had a lot of problems with Spielberg's original, there was something about his film that had a grit to it, it had a dirt to it, it had filmmaking to it that relied on not only the craftsmanship of a director, but the respect for the source material and the time period
