Even a director like Steven Spielberg can be the subject of criticism, and we imagine that even someone with his experience is willing to accept it: one of these, however, has always struck the author of Jurassic Park and Schindler’s List to the heart, as he himself has admitted in the past when speaking openly about his intentions.
Spielberg, who will soon collaborate for the first time with A24, has in fact explained that he has received quite a bit of criticism for having softened the tones of The Color Purple on the occasion of his highly acclaimed adaptation of the novel of the same name.
“A lot of criticism from other directors said that a black director should have directed it, that was the main criticism. The other criticism was that I had softened the book, but I had always admitted this. I made the film I wanted to make starting from Alice Walker’s book. Alice was on set with me and she could have said to me every time: ‘You know, this stuff is too Disney. This is not how I imagined this scene.’ Instead she was a great encouragement during the filming, and this convinced me that I had done a good job” were the words of the director. One thing is certain, however: criticism or no criticism, you will hardly find spectators willing to speak badly of the film with Whoopi Goldberg.
