Product Description

Product Description

Purple Rain (DVD)

Rock star Prince makes a spectacular feature film debut in this highly autobiographical blockbuster that won both an Oscar and a Grammy award. Headstrong, vulnerable young musician The Kid (Prince) struggles with his own inner demons and with his alcoholic father who beats his mother. But the madness infects his music, fueling a sound that transforms the struggling, young rocker into a star.

Amazon.com

When Prince's dazzling and dynamic Purple Rain (movie and soundtrack album) and the hypnotic hit single "When Doves Cry" exploded onto the pop-culture scene in 1984, it seemed there was nothing the purple one couldn't do. The film is basically a feature-length music video, but no musician has ever had a better big-screen showcase for his many talents. The plot is really just a theme (about the son of an abusive father struggling not to continue the pattern) upon which to hang some of Prince's most dazzling songs (including "Let's Go Crazy" and the title tune), and some sizzling live-concert numbers. Apollonia Kotero is ravishing as the romantic interest, and Morris Day and the Time provide some terrific musical competition. Purple Rain is an essential artifact of the mid-'80s pop Zeitgeist. Prince took home an Oscar for the song score. --Jim Emerson

broken case, weird scratches
yeah the case is broken so that the DVD doesn't hold in place and there are some weird scratches that don't look like scratches but something else, it's a used DVD. And it's Purple Rain. I haven't watched it yet. I will edit this review as needed. I guess it's a real copy. You never know now these days.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Rain on Prince's Parade

This is Prince's signature movie, I'm a fan of all 3 of his mooveez but I have to b honest with myself and admit this is tha 1. I must have seen Purple Rain at least 30 times and I can recite every line. There's something about the energy of this film that just captivates u. I love the score and it's no wonder it won Prince an OSCAR. Woohoo! Purple Rain is is genious and the music is timeless. It's hard to believe there is actually a sequel "Graffiti Bridge", but who really knows that and who kares, right? Eye do! They r both great mooveez, Prince can of course do no wrong, he is tha best artist that ever lived. I have recently been in a Prince funk and watched all of his films over the last week, watching all of them at least 2 times each and they never get old, I can watch them a hundred more times. Thank u Prince for making wonderful entertainment 4 all of us 2 enjoy, u r "Tha King", Elvis ain't got s@#$ on u!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Prince movie of all time.

I have been a fan of this man since at least 1984, this in fact was the movie and soundtrack that made me fall in love with everything he did from that point on. I am heart broken we lost him and I am grateful to have this gem back in my collection.

It's been in my DVD player since it arrived in my mail box, this is why I have no photos. I highly recommend this for anyone who is a fan or for those who are introducing future fans. The soundtrack is brilliant and the script is awesome.

Overall, I am super pleased, the movie is great entertainment, the disk is perfect and scratch free, and the cover is in awesome shape too.
I have nothing genitive to say at this time.
