Cinema Highlight for the week is “The Color Purple”. Alice Walker’s 1982 novel won the Pulitzer Prize and was made into this eponymous film, The Color Purple (1985), soon after. Directed by Steven Spielberg, the film showcases powerful performances by Black women who deal with rape and poverty in the deeply racist Jim Crow South of the early 20th century. Not only did late film critic Roger Ebert name it the best film of 1985, but it also set the stage for Oprah’s major motion picture debut as Sofia. Oh, and the 2005 Broadway production is now being turned into a forthcoming movie musical. #goldfocus • • • • • • #explorepage #artistsoninstagram #thisweekoninstagram #shareblackstories #explore #deepthoughts #blackthought #legendsneverdie #cinemahighlight #blackcinema #blackfilm #blacklove #cinemahistory #blackcinema #blackmovies #oprahwinfrey #whoopigoldberg #StevenSpielberg https://www.instagram.com/p/CHJfrvFn47Z/?igshid=4gb9ukhh8f0l

Did you know? While the image of the busty, doe-eyed animation may be one of the nation’s most recognizable faces, most people couldn’t pick the original Betty Boop out of a lineup. So who inspired Max Fleischer’s runaway hit cartoon? Was it the quirky Helen Kane, who “boop-a-doop’ed” like Betty? Or perhaps the ‘30s it-girl Clara Bow, whose short hair and thin eye brows perfectly mimicked the flapper cartoon’s? Or maybe it was Baby Esther, the black jazz singer whose name has been long erased by history? Truth is, although many believe Helen Kane to be the inspiration behind Betty Boop, Esther Jones is the real reason why the character was possible. Jones’s 1920’s jazz singing style from Harlem’s infamous Cotton Club, was the inspiration for Helen Kane (or copy cat depending on who you ask) that eventually became the inspiration for the cartoon that was created by Max Fleischer. #goldfocus • • • • • • • #explorepage #artistsoninstagram #thisweekoninstagram #shareblackstories #explore #deepthoughts #blackthought #revolttv #earthgang #legendsneverdie #blackhistory #bettyboop #cartoons https://www.instagram.com/p/CHG23wcnP3P/?igshid=375yhm3zae4m
