that she will find inner-peace and
love she has lost through no fault
of her own.
And in the movie,"The Color
Purple," with brilliant direction
from Steven Spielberg, Alice
Walker's novel of love and life
comes to the screen to reach those
it was originally written for ?
those who have seen the harsh
realities of Celie's life.
Celie, played by Whoopi
Goldberg, has been raped by her
stepfather, torn away from her
sister and married to a man who
beats her. Despite this, her spirit
wanders, and through the dark
eyes of Goldberg, the viewers
realize Celie's pain and the potential
strength of her spirit.
Goldberg, normally a
character comedienne, wrote
Walker to get the role. She is
well-suited for the character of
Celie, who, though not physically
beautiful, has an inner beauty

betrayed only by the quiet longing
in her eyes.
Shug Avery, the outgoing
singer who Celie's husband
Mister is in love with, is portrayed
excellently by Margaret
Avery. Shug's zest for life and
her emotional attachment to the
past equal Celie's, although
unlike Celie, her anger is not
quiet.
Shug, a preacher's daughter, is
won over by Celie's desperation
and writes a song, "Miss Celie's
Blues," just for her. An intimate
relationship begins between the
two women, which though more
chaste on screen than in the
novel, doubtless will shock many
viewers.
This relationship teaches Celie
to respect herself and her ideals,
which no one has ever done for
her before. In this, Celie realizes
her potential and fortunately, so
does the movie.
Danny Glover portrays the
part of Mister wonderfully, and
though Speilberg concentrates
more on his growth in the screen
version than does Walker's

From staff reports
Blue Sky, the man who painted
Columbia's popular mural, Tunnelvision,
has used his quirky, artistic
eye to create a colorful and
nostalgic portrait of USC.
Sky, who attended USC, is exhibiting
an architectural profile
of the campus, "Skylines," Jan.
2 to Feb. 12 at McKissick.
"The university is a vibrant
force in Columbia. One can't
help but see the beautiful architecture
and the excitement on
campus. I think that attracted
Blue Sky," said Lynn Robertson
Myers, McKissick Museum's
chief curator.
"The paintings in this showing
capture the eclectic and familiar
buildings of the university and
give them a life of their own.

There's a great deal of nostaligia
in this show," Myers said.
Many South Carolinians are
only ^ familiar with Llue Sky's
murals and may be suprised at
the impact of these small-scale
paintings.
"These images are evocative of
small?scale landscape paintings
painted for domestic interiors
earlier in this century or even the
19th century," Myers said.
However for fans of Blue Sky's
larger, less traditional works, the
exhibit includes several earlier
pieces, including a life-size parking
place with trash ground into
the asphalt.
Prints of one canvas, an aerial
view of McKissick Museum in the
late afternoon, will be available
for purchase in the future.
