I am a huge Prince fan! I use to own almost every single album he has made. Until we got robbed, they took all but two of my prince cds!! I still haven't gotten over that! It's like they knew how much I loved him and they decided to further ruin my night. Anyway, regardless of the time and money put into my Prince collection the point is, Prince is one bad MoFo!
When Purple Rain came out, of course I was excited to see it, being a huge fan and all, but I must say, it is not one of my favorites. Yes the album was tight and all, but the movie was just o.k. If anyone other then Prince had been in it, it would have been terrible. Apparently, he was saving all his talents for his next movie which was "Under the Cherry Moon"! This is the best movie ever!!
Plot - Prince, as "Christopher" and his sidekick "Tricky", played by Jerome Benton, are male gigolos who seduce women in France until Prince meets "Mary", played by Kristin Scott Thomas, and falls in love with her. Her father hates him and will do anything to keep them apart.
Words can't describe all the awesome things going on in the movie! Prince sings, he bathes, he seduces, he drives around in his car, he fights, he wears suggestive clothing, he tells jokes and he has "sex". Sex is in quotes, because what they do can't only be describe that way. I am not ashamed to admit, I know every piece of dialog that all the characters say. I know this movie backwards and forward. Example, typed from memory:
Christopher - "You ever been to Miami baby?"
Mary- "The only thing in Miami are people who weren't born there and drugs."
Christopher - "But they no more then you'll ever learn in your little small sheltered world."
Trick - "Yeah!"
That is just a taste of what you would hear from the best movie ever! Here is a scene I found on YouTube, enjoy.

Go out and rent, buy, or borrow this movie, you might be disappointed cause it's not for everyone, but I love it!!!
