Review of Purple Rain (1984) by Curtis R — 18 Sep 2010
Prince is one of the greatest musicians ever and "Purple Rain" is not only a great showcase of the man's talents but his magnum opus. The storyline of the movie follows the rise of an up and coming musician known as The Kid (Prince) who must not only deal with an abusive father but must also fight for the love of singer Apollonia with his arch rival singer & club favorite Morris Day.
It's The Revolution versus The Time and there can be only one band standing. Purple Rain the album was to the 80's what Frampton Comes Alive was to the 70's. I didn't know anybody who didn't own those albums and what better way to feature the album than to perform it in the movie.
