"3121" The Movie

Let's say, hypothetically, that Prince - in a return to movie-making, decided "3121" was actually a movie soundtrack. What would the storyline have been behind those songs?

(Given the content of "Purple Rain" and "Parade," use your creative imaginations on this one...) Go!

I would go see it just because it's Prince

I think the story line would be a man looking for his one true love. Some one he could settle down with.

I liked all of Princes movies...my favorite is under the cherry movie, because it's so funny. I would see any movie of his.

Hmmm... newlywed doing right by his woman. There is a pestering freak/fan who wants him no matter what... even when his wife is there... he slips up & loses control... wife finds out & leaves him... he finds out the freak/fan isn't what the thought she was... he turns to church looking for salvation... begins ministering through music to the masses... wait, this sounds familiar. wink

That's easy. It's a man torn between spirituality and carnal desires.
I don't think I'd be interested in that. Not if 3121 were the soundtrack.

I wanted to see him in Pygmalion. Now I want to see him in Prince and the Pauper.
Only this one is more like Man in the Iron Mask. The "prince" side is a diva that goes unwillingly (or is tricked by band members). The pauper is a struggling musician that people call Prince because he looks so much like him.

Maybe that's for another thread, though.

3121 tells the tale of Timmo Corazon (played beautifully by Prince). Timmo lives in the slums of a fictional city and escapes the everyday boredom of his world by fantasising that he lives in a beautiful, surreal, musical land.
The live-action scenes that represent the real world are intercut with computer-animated graphics when Timmo goes into his fantasy world.

Timmo has a girlfriend, Lolita (a powerful portrayal by Tamar Davis) who tries to encourage Timmo to make some money by cheating at cards at the local casino. But Timmo is more interested in his honest living, working down the coal mines where he laments that by the end of the day the coal dust has got into his skin pores and creates a sort of black sweat.

One day, Lolita has a brainwave and realises that she could go into partnership with her friend Jemima Wannitallnightlong (Sheila E) and open a shop selling incense and candles.
Timmo begins to think that he may be losing Lolita and there then follows a spectacular computer-animated sequence where Timmo sings about Love.

Back to the real world and whilst having some awkwardly acted sex with Lolita, he tells her that her ass looks a bit fat these days and right there and then, she slaps him and tells him she never wants to see him again.
Days later, and with Lolita and Jemima's store doing really well, the increasingly lonely Timmo falls dangerously deeper into his fantasy world and he becomes obsessed with his scorned girlfriend and spiders with sticky webs who can use Microsoft's ever-popular Word utility.

Whilst still in his fantasy world, Timmo begins to realise that with Lolita by his side, he truly is beautiful, loved and blessed whilst in the real world, Lolita realises the same and their duet brings them both together, with Timmo finally realising that if he can't be Lolita's true love then he doesn't want her in any other way.

Suddenly, there's 40 days and 40 nights of rain. Fortunately, Jemima was a soothsayer and had been building a huge ark for this very eventuality.

As Timmo, Lolita and Jemima climb aboard their ark, they sing to all the others in the city (well, only 100 others) to get them on the boat so they can sail away and survive the huge flood.

The film ends with Timmo, Lolita and Jemima merrily singing as the ship sails into the distance whilst thousands of terrified, panicking citizens horribly drown.

Isn't a Carazon a lady of the night from the 1800's. So maybe it could be based on that Hence the corset.

I dunno why, but for some reason, when I read about the fan, Apollonia landed in my mind. I could just see her hanging onto a window ledge peeking in on Prince. LOL.

But the premise sounds good. biggrin

Great imagination on the 3121 The Movie description. I'm not feeling the ''Jemima'' thing, though. Other than that, sign you up for Hollywood!

Weren't there actually reports that Prince was planning to make a 3121 movie? With some chick from Panama?
