Got to Watch 3 DVDs

All for English!

Edward Scissorhands
I'm certain most people have seen this movie. It's by Tim Burton & it's just the sort of thing to expect from this man. Johnny Depp looks very different with all the makeup.
Overall, this movie lacked something for me. The ending just made me go, "oh. how interesting."

The Virgin Suicides
ABSOLUTELY BORING! Do not watch this!

The Colour Purple
This movie makes you think at some stages.
I fail to see the significance of the colour purple in this film.
But there are definitely gender issues, such as the men always dominating the women.
There are also issues, like, sexual & emotional abuse.
It is disgusting at the beginning of the film. The main character Celie is giving birth in Winter with the door slamming against the wind. Her Father is just standing there with the lantern & watches her, asking, "Ain't you done yet?"
What's disgusting is that the child Celie is giving birth to is her father's.
She was raped by her father twice & giving birth twice.

It's a sad movie but the ending threw me off.
Why does Whoopi Goldberg get it on with another female character? O_o
