Review of Purple Rain (1984) by Matthew F. J — 23 Apr 2016

Rarely do I see this type of energy outside of a film festival: People hollering, applauding and yelling out comments throughout the movie, staying for the credits and gathering in groups outside the theater after the movie ended.

I felt so moved by the sense of community the movie brought. The screenings may have been a way to capitalize on an artist's death, but right now I'm choosing to feel the warmth instead.
