Okay, so I was trying to find some movies that gave me the same feels as “The Color Purple.” You know, that deep, emotional, and thought-provoking vibe. Here’s how I went about it:
Brainstorming and Initial Searches
First, I racked my brain. I thought about what I loved most about “The Color Purple.” It was the story of resilience, the strong female characters, and the exploration of tough issues like racism and abuse. So, I started with those keywords.
I jumped onto a search engine and typed in things like “movies about strong black women” and “films dealing with racism and resilience.” I even tried more specific searches like “movies set in the early 20th century American South.”

Sifting Through Results and Making a List
The search results were a mixed bag. Some were obvious, some were totally off-base. I started making a list, jotting down titles that seemed promising. I mostly focused on the summaries and the user reviews.
- I look for the related movies about strong Black Women.
- I look for the similar film about racism and abuse.
Watching Trailers and Reading Reviews
Next, I watched a bunch of trailers. This helped me get a feel for the movie’s tone and style. I also dug into some more detailed reviews. I wanted to see what other people thought, especially if they mentioned “The Color Purple” in their reviews. I looked for patterns and repeated recommendations.
Final thoughts
It is not easy to find the perfect recommendations, but I will try my best to do it. Hope I can find the perfect movies, and enjoy it!
