Film jest quasi-autobiograficzną historią młodości i kariery geniusza rocka lat 80 - Rogersa Nelsona, znanego jako Prince. Osią fabularną filmu jest konflikt między zespołami the Revolution dowodzonego przez Kida (Prince) i the Time. Równolegle z filmem ukazał się świetny LP "Purple Rain" zawierający oczywiście znakomite piosenki z fimu, jak utwór tytułowy, "When Doves Cry", "Lets Go Crazy".
While "rock musical" remains a phrase used by sadistic parents to give their offspring nightmares the genre does occasionally throw up the odd gem, Purple Rain being perhaps the shiniest example. Given the theatricality of Princes stage shows, it was only a matter of time before the diminutive pop potentate found himself a big-screen vehicle but few could have predicted that Purple Rain would become nothing less than a cultural phenomenon. The story, co-written by one-time Starsky & Hutch scripter William Blinn, may be a somewhat hackneyed tale with His Purpleness overcoming a troubled background and musical rival Morris Day to achieve his dreams of rock stardom. However, the cast, which also includes Prince protegée Appollonia, rises above the clichés to hand in a set of performances which, while never likely to trouble the Oscars, prove that all concerned can at least play a rough approximation of themselves with minimal difficulty. What really helped push the films box-office receipts through the roof, however, was its soundtrack featuring a clutch of hit singles--notably "When Doves Cry"--and which cemented our pint-sized heros position as one of the globes premiere performing artists. Sadly, subsequent attempts to re-bottle this particular brand of lightning with Under The Cherry Moon and Graffiti Moon would prove substantially less successful, but Purple Rain still looks--and, more importantly sounds--rarely less than funktastic. --Clark Collis
Purple Rain [DVD] [1984] (DVD);This movie is soooo 80s and watching this last night had me dying while bringing back some fond memories. This semi-biographical tale of Princes struggling to make it in the music industry is hit and miss throughout. For those who havent already seen this, the film is really nothing more than a feature-length music video marking Princes acting debut, he is essentially playing himself here, and is surprisingly charming. Prince is no actor...he mumbles his lines and resorts to melodrama in serious scenes...but his performance truly conveys a great deal of pain and conflict.;For a musician in his first role, he is actually quite good. Morris Day is a virtual scene-stealer, the "Time" leader plays, who else, Morris Day and his performance is inspired and funny. Princes then-band mates Wendy and Lisa also shine as well as Apollonia who is adequate as The Kids love interest. Clarence Williams III ("The Mod Squad") gives the best performance here as The Kids father, his rage, confusion, and guilt truly come through in a brilliant performance, and his role should have been bigger.;Purple Rain" is certainly an ego trip for its star. But Prince certainly deserves to have a big head because the music in "Purple Rain" is nothing less than awe-inspiring. He deservedly won an Oscar for his score, and the excitement of his live shows are truly on display here. The Time is also fun to watch, "Purple Rain" includes their performances of two of their biggest hits, "The Bird" and "Jungle Love.;Purple Rain" is not without its imperfection. The film doesnt fully investigate The Kids home life with the exception of a few throwaway scenes. Despite the charms of most of the performers, the acting is amateurish and often laughable. Despite its shortcomings, "Purple Rain" is a modern classic, the quintessential 80s picture. If you get a chance, rent or buy this DVD, the quality is great as well as the music.
