The Color Purple (1985) Artemus Ward Dept. of Political Science Northern Illinois University aeward@niu.edu Introduction In the following lecture we will discuss Hollywood’s transition from plantation films to blacksploitation to modern fragmentation of the African-American experience. Why did this film get made and why did it depart from the novel? What do the film’s variations on the novel tell us about the priorities of Hollywood? Are “modern” films about the African-American experience more damaging than previous genres? Can films be both uplifting and damaging?

Blacksploitation Films Beginning in 1970, Hollywood began a profit-making strategy of producing films to appeal to urban, black audiences. So-called “Blacksploitation” films typically take place in?ghettos?and feature plotlines which entail crime,?hit men,?drug dealers, and?pimps.?Ethnic slurs against whites (e.g., honky“ and “cracker”), and antagonistic white characters such as corrupt cops, politicians, prostitutes, and gullible gangsters are common?plot?and or character elements.? While some held that the genre was exemplary of black empowerment,?the movies were accused by others of perpetuating common white stereotypes about black people. What do you think? As a result, many called for the end of the genre. The?NAACP,?Southern Christian Leader
