Ouch...That was mean

Reading Bobo's essay about Spielbergs adaptation of "The Color Purple" and she does in essence rip him big time. Which is totally fair as an artist we (Spielberg) should be open to all criticism that comes our way. We learn from it and become better artists. Bobo does have an argument when she slams Spielberg saying he got it all wrong as she is a African American feminist professor at the University of California. From where she sits it would be hard or impossible for Spielberg to fully understand where she is coming from and what her vision is of the true meaning of the film.

Even though that Spielberg did not meet the requirements of Bobo it does not mean that they did not serve a purpose to some people or meet the needs of others. Spielbergs vision is just his version or how he see the story based on his experiences in his life or how he best relates. It would be impossible for him to feel the same way that Bobo feels as he is not an African American Feminist. In conclusion, Spielberg has earned the right in Cinema to do whatever he feels to any movie and should be just fine with people. In my opinion Spielberg could make an adaptation of American Pie and I would go see it and love it because it was Spielberg.
