I (a white female) saw The Color Purple and enjoyed it very much. I don't
think that you have to be able to relate to it to enjoy it, I was able to
empathize with the characters and feel for them without having had the same
background experiences. I particularly enjoyed the singing and the cinema-
tography. As for reading the book, I have been trying to get it from the
library for a year (well before the movie came out) and it is always checked
out, guess I'll have to break down and buy it!
