Someone that used to work for Paisley Park back in the day said his character in Under the Cherry Moon is closer to his everyday personality.


I can well believe that.

Sure, and Harrison Ford really wears a fedora, has bullwhipping good adventures after mystical lost treasures, and hates snakes.



Yes, he does!!


So your saying he flies a spaceship, hangs out with a jedi and some droids on the weekend too?

You'd better believe it - he dresses Calista Flockhart up as Chewie for kicks.

Oh man!! This is my kind of thread... not to mention my thread "Finally" has been a huge success because I just saw the movie for the first time exactly a week ago.

When I first watched the movie, I tried not to think of "The Kid" as Prince himself. I don't think that "The Kid" is identical to Prince in real life, but they do share a few things in common. The love scenes with him and Apollonia are very believable, i.e. I can see Prince taking that approach himself.

And the conflict between him, Lisa & Wendy, I don't think he'd take it to that extreme in real life, although he can seem rude at times.

I wish this thread was around last week cuz the notions I had in mind after seeing the movie the first time are pretty much gone... I just watched it to see Prince in a speaking role and also to look at his pretty face.

Anyway, to a certain degree, they do have things in common, but there was a lot of things "The Kid" did that Prince would never do... I can't think of those things right now, though...

But, in the very end of the movie, during the last 8 minutes, I felt like the true Prince came out and was the person performing "I Would Die 4 U/Baby I'm a Star" because he just had that stage presence that he's always had. The presence that initially mesmerized me and made me a fan initially.

I most likely will get it for my bday if I don't come into a decent sum of money b4 7/29. FYE had the 20th anniversery edition... but where I live, they overcharge for DVD's (it was $26 or $27)... but w/e, it'll still be worth it when I do get it.

I find this all so incredibly interesting. I definitely agree with what you're saying. I definitely see paranoid, jealous... yes and no, insecure, most likely.. and hot-tempered... definitely

As for the last thing... I'm not sure. Probably not as cruelly as he did to Apollonia, but in other ways, its possible... I mean, we are talking about Prince.

Absolutely. With some of the music he writes, I think he kinda has to be. He seems very :clears throat: knowledge about such things, but he always pulls them off musically with style.

exactly. Prince fans who know his music to some degree know what I'm talking about, so I'm not afraid to admit that I think this.

Why can't you do it?
Why can't you set your monkey free?
Always giving in to it -
Do you love the monkey or do you love me?
Why can't you do it?
Why do I have to share my baby with a monkey?

I wonder if the monkey was Prince's idea or someone else.

Either way, that scene cracks me up when he has a conversation with it.

"You don't need those girls or their stupid music. All you need is me."
Prince gives it lip.
"Man, I don't know. Life's a bitch."

Love that scene.

Oh yeah, that's great.

But would Prince use that sarcasm himself? Or does it reside only with his persona of "The Kid"?

I wonder.

Of course, he does sarcasm a lot in his songs.
