Book:  Beloved

            By Toni Morrison

 

Film: Beloved (1998)

 

Beloved is a 1987 novel by the American writer Toni Morrison. Set after the American Civil War, it tells the story of a family of formerly enslaved people whose Cincinnati home is haunted by a malevolent spirit. Beloved is inspired by an event that actually happened: Margaret Garner, an enslaved person in Kentucky, who escaped and fled to the free state of Ohio in 1856. She was subject to capture in accordance with the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850; when U.S. marshals burst into the cabin where Garner and her husband had barricaded themselves, she was attempting to kill her children, and had already killed her two-year-old daughter, to spare them from being returned to slavery.  Morrison had come across an account of Garner titled "A Visit to the Slave Mother who Killed Her Child" in an 1856 newspaper article published in the American Baptist, and reproduced in The Black Book, a miscellaneous compilation of black history and culture that Morrison edited in 1974.

 

Beloved is a 1998 American psychological horror drama film directed by Jonathan Demme and starring Oprah Winfrey, Danny Glover, and Thandiwe Newton. Based on Toni Morrison's 1987 novel of the same name, the plot centers on a former slave after the American Civil War, her haunting by a poltergeist, and the visitation of her reincarnated daughter.  Despite being a box office bomb Beloved received an Oscar nomination for Best Costume Design for Colleen Atwood, the film received mostly positive reviews, and both Danny Glover and Kimberly Elise received praise for their performances.

How can you follow the breadcrumbs to your next great expansion? Sheri Salata, world class producer, transformation doula, author, and speaker didn't know what was coming after leaving her successful career as The Oprah Winfrey Show executive producer and co-president of Harpo Studios and OWN.

Sheri Salata on the 3 Words to Happiness & How to Find the Glitter on Your Path

"Not your mama's 'Color Purple,' but your mama's gonna love it, too,'" producer Oprah Winfrey has promised of the new film that reimagines and reinvigorates the story while respecting what fans of the classic iterations have always loved. Innovative artist and director Blitz Bazawule's "The Color Purple" is an inspiring portrayal of the bonds of sisterhood and the triumph of the human spirit. With soul-stirring performances from a powerhouse cast, the inspiring cinematic experience takes Celie, Shug, Sofia and more on a hope-filled journey to discover one's voice, to find one's joy, and to be true to one's own heart and mind.

Following the screening, Deadline's chief film critic Pete Hammond, who can also be seen on KCET's Must See Movies, moderates a Q&A with executive music producer Stephen Bray and composer Kris Bowers.

The Color Purple Q&A

For this month's first throwback podcast review, I am joined by Josh Parham and guest Kathia Woods to discuss Steven Spielberg's 1985 adaptation of Alice Walker's Pulitzer prize-winning novel "The Color Purple" starring Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah Winfrey, Danny Glover, Adolph Caesar, Margaret Avery & Rae Dawn Chong. As we prepare for the release of Blitz Bazawule's musical adaptation of the novel, we go back and look at Spielberg's first dive into prestige drama storytelling. Tune in as we discuss the performances, the direction, the music, and how well its themes still hold up today, along with its infamous awards season run where it was nominated for eleven Academy Awards but failed to win a single one (with the Academy even omitting Spielberg from the Best Director category). We hope you enjoy this SPOILER-FILLED throwback review. Thank you!
