I fail to realize why people are giving the movie bad reviews. I think people were expecting another Color Purple. Well I think a damn good movie was made and the people who didn't like it just didn't understand. The movie is not hard to understand. Oprah was a slave who had gained freedom; then one day the people tried to take her kids away to slavery. Oprah didn't want that so she attempt to kill them. One thing that really set the plot to the movie is one died and came back as a ghost. Many people are also talking bad about Thandie's part, but she was a ghost who was 2 years old in the body of a 20yr old. She came back and only wanted her mother. Beloved set a spell on Paul D because she wanted to be close to her mother like he was. What is so hard to understand about the movie I don't get. I think everyone is so used to the same type movies. When something different and better come along their brains lock up. The only thing I can suggest "GO BUY THE BOOK", it only cost $15.00. Now that I've explained the movie some go see it again.
