Yeah but i didnt get what it had to do with anything.
Was it just the fact that she showed him a tape?
And yeah i dont actually now what a subpoena is confused
Maybe bad acting and directing too, it didnt seem as if he saw the tape once she said "ive got something for you", she wasnt waving it high enough neutral, so it looked as if he randomly came out with that.

When Prince snuck up the ladder, I didn't get that he had the wrong room

The only thing I ever really wondered about was why did Morris give that somber look shortly after asking Prince "How's the Family?". I really feel like it's a hidden message rather than him feeling bad about what he said. It made me wonder if Prince and Morris r related and haven't told any1.

It was put in so the audience would see that Morris isn't as fucked up as he lets on. He even knew that was a shitty thing to say and after he said it he thought about how fucked up it was.

Also, why did it seem that the competition in Purple Rain was only between the Revolution,the Time and Apolonnia 6? The Modernaires' career didn't seem to be in jeopardy at all.

I don't doubt that's why it was done, it's just that knowing Prince's fondness 4 hidden messages it seemed 2 me like there may have been more 2 it.

I don't think Prince had much control over editing and directing this. If he
had, we would have no idea what the hell was going on.

Probably so biggrin . Speaking of editing though, it's 2 bad they didn't include any deleted scenes in the 25th anniversary edition of PR. I always felt they didn't really show enough footage of Morris and Apollonia 2gether 4 Prince 2 get THAT jealous. There's a scene in 1 of the videos (I think Let's Go Crazy) where they show Morris and Apollonia running from in between 2 houses. And another scene where they show Prince coming in2 the Time rehearsal space and puncing Jellybean. It would've been nice 4 them 2 add that stuff and 2 know what was up with it.
