Under the Cherry Moon is under rated because you have to understand the type of movie it is. He did an A plus job on it I think, he captured the best era in film making, you would think it was from that time if you didnt know. 40's-60's euopean flicks are the best and he captured it well, all the way down to his acting, and you are right his sense of humor is right on. His smile and he draws you into the picture , I think, without special effects etc. All of these actors today I hate, they play themselves, a characture of them selves over and over again. And they DO NOT have the presence to carry a film all the way through from beginning to end like old movie actors had to back in the day. Prince has that presence. You have to give him that. And most actors today lack that ability. This is the best and most accurate post I have ever read about this movie on the org. You should definitely check out that review on www.salon.com, pretty much goes into the same direction as you do. Yes, I openly admit that I still like Under The Cherry Moon.

but he is one of the most carismatic personalities to be on screen. Its too bad he hasnt been in more movies, other than his own. Playing other charaters and other roles. He has everything that old movie stars are made of. And nothing of what these terrible actors of today lack. Under the Cherry Moon was great like a Felini movie or classics of that sort. And prince and his mannerisms fit the bill perfect. I imagine that how we see him on screen in the movies he has made is like how it felt for those who were fans of the older ledgends of hollywood. You know that smile that makes you melt, like how Henry was watching June in the movie theater and missing her in Henry & June. He has all that made the glitz and glamour of hollywood, hollywood back in the day. And has it now. He is OLD SCHOOL CLASS. I think you can feel with him quite well and with ease. [Edited 1/6/06 8:47am]  I never thought about in that way before, but I kinda like that theory. He seems like he would be a fan of older "classics" so maybe he was modeling Christopher Tracy's character & mannerisms on those types of movies.The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

Don´t know if that is true, but he is indeed a cineast and loves all kinds of old movies. Remember the lines about going to the movies was his favorite thing and how he preferred watching movies to smoking weed.("Uptown in every movie show...blablabla...that was the only thing that I wanted to do, that was my drug of choice, left all the funny smelling cigarettes to the American boys(?)..La Dolce Vita was the knob that turned me on , Marcello Mastroianni, Italian mack, coming on strong.He had all the honeys,the covers of the magazines, big rides...the biggest ones you´d ever seen..the good life, one day that´s what I´ll be living...") From "The Good Life" off the Exodus album by the NPG. He sure loves those old black and white movies. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs!

The best acting Prince did in Purple Rain is when he didn't say anything, it was all action and expressions. Espeacially when Prince started tearing up shit in his room after his father shot himself. That was pretty exciting to watch. Prince's acting got better on Under The Cherry Moon. Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U. |
