were Tricky and Chris actually meant to be brothers?

I've read a few reviews of this movie, and each refers to the two characters as brothers or half-brothers. I'd always gotten the impression that the bit where Chris is talking about Tricky claiming they're brothers after the police haul him away is supposed to be a joke. Hence the "butterscotch, chocolate" line.





And anyway, if they were supposed to be brothers, that just makes the blatant homoeroticism (even if it was unintentional) kinda funny, dontcha think?

No.

I never really cared for this Prince movie. Just my opinion.

That's what I thought, but all the revieweres seem to think otherwise...

They seemed pretty GAY for each other. I mean show me one straight man who is throwing flower petals into another straight man's bath??

K why when Tracy and Mary are on the boat going to the cave, Tracy says, "Don't be scared me and Tricky come here all the time,"

cue next scene, where the hell did the candles and bedding come from????

What Tracy and Tricky just hang out in a cave with candles and bedding for planning their next pimpride??

AND JUST TO CLARIFY I AM IN NO WAY SAYING PRINCE IS GAY.

K?

lazycrockett said:

I think the bedding is more telling than the candles. It's not like that was just a sheet Chris threw down over the rocks for he and Mary to fool around on.


Chris and Tricky.

I was thinking the same thing.Like when Chris hopped back in the tub while talking on the phone w/Mrs.Wellington...there definitely was a pause where he woulda been buttnaked infront of Tricky ...its all just very gay 2 me

I know I don't carry on baths with my siblings watching and throwing rose petals on me. Or good friends, for that matter.

No, not blood brothers but close friends like brothers.

Only in France can u get away with something like this, of course

...and u'll never know, they may b bisexuals-- considering they're gigolos Money talks u know...4 Christopher and Tricky anyway

I just suspected that Tricky was gay. He was making all those campy comments:

"I never dance before midnight"

"Girl you know I loved you for years"

"Honey don't you know I'll slap the waves out your head?"

lazycrockett said:

Naw, not at all. . . just "gay-ish" or "gay curious"

Maybe they were adopted by the same woman...that would make them brothers and explain why they don't look anything alike. Just my

I don't know about that but why is it that Mary's mom is so much hotter than Mary?

Has it taken 21 years to figure this out NO!

Brudda, BRUDDA? Ah who de bloodclart Unu ah call Brudda?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this Jerome's character acts very....very....gay

SoulAlive said:

....while trying to pick up women
How about, Jerome's character acts very flamboyant?

Alright now, y'all are gonna make Jerome cuss the org members out the next time he is in concert. Remember that?

but for the record..no, he wasn't supposed to be gay (not there is anything wrong with that....)

UTCM.

I have funny memories of this movie. I saw it opening weekend in Philly
at the Regency at 16th & Chestnut with my Mom and about 10-15 people most
of whom were laughing at the movie. And also laughing at the on going loud commentary of the wino at the back of the theater about the film. (The wino thought Prince was gay, that whole lacey do-rag thing Prince wore playing the piano did not help matters though).

That and my mom exclaiming (out loud) how ugly Prince's love interest was?

So I tend to look at UTCM as a comedy even tough I think it was intended to be a drama.

I always thought UTCM would have been better if the Prince role was played my Morris Day.

The soundtrack was and is amazing, still.

I think Under The Cherry Moon is a nice bit of fluff. It's camp as tits, it's got some genuinely funny moments (Wrecka Stow, Cabbagehead etc.) and it's just a nice, simple story. Oh, and it's beautifully filmed, very artistic visually.

Oh, and the soundtrack is good too. Anyone know if it's available on CD?

That was a hilarious thread. I hope you saw it. The Time had performed somewhere and Jerome asked the audience if there were any prince.org members. Several people cheered and Jerome started going off.....

Why don't you motherfuckers get a job? All y'all do is sit around and type lies all day long. I'm going to start typing me some shit.

I don't know what or which lies he was talking about but the funny thing is, there had been a thread going on at the time and people were discussing whether or not they thought Jerome was gay.

I was less than a year old when this movie came out. I haven't had as long to watch it as some of you.
