I watched "Purple Rain," with an eleven year old.

Last night, I got out the VCR...and took an eleven year old boy on a Prince music lesson. This boy called Prince a pretty boy on a regular basis.

When the movie was over, he apologized for ever having called Prince names. He said that he shouldn't have judged Prince, cuz' after seeing "Purple Rain," he thinks that Prince is cool, and that he loved the movie.

I fast forwarded through the sex scene, I told him he could borrow the tape when he was 17.

We all are Sophia. We are just the same family.

That's not a movie to watch with a little boy.

yeah i watch purple rain with my eleven year old little brother. He said Apollonia had it coming when Prince slaped the taste out of her mouth. Kinda made me laugh.

Thats so great my daughter is 9 and when she first saw prince she didnt say nice things, now when we are in the car she is like, "put on prince mom", i heard her telling her friends the other day she thinks he is so cute, she knows all the words to his songs, now she wants me to take her to a concert, i cant wait to do that if he ever comes to europe again, here's hoping!

That's great! I was 10 when I first saw it. I thought I was so cool finally being able to see a rated R movie.

Why would you psychologically damage an eleven year old that way?

You're mean.

I hope you fast forwarded the Darling Nikki performance, too.

"Mommy, why is the ladyboy humping the stage? MOOOOOMMMMYYYYY!"

It's just wrong

Alej said:

Wow! there's psychologics at the org! Anyway, never been proof that you can mentally damage anyone by watching a single tv show, a single comic, a single book or a single movie, unleast that movie is "The Sound Of Music" or "Forrest Gump" etc.

I saw "Purple Rain" at twelve and i think it help me mature.

I watched it with my 9 year old brother.

When it got to the part where Apples strips at the lake he goes "Should I cover up my eyes?".. All I said was "No, I'm not Mum."

I wish I said no because now all he watches the movie all the time, I'm sick of it!

my cousin asked me if Prince was a boy or a girl when he was seven...I think he saw a music video or something...then when my other cousin was 6 he already knew Prince was a boy and was more interested with how good he could dance and cool his "cricle" outfit was from SOTT
I think I can mold my second cousin into a Prince fan the first one is too far gone
I saw the edited version of PR when I was 8 and I loved it.I loved it so much that when I was 12 I rented it from Block Busters...I was thoroughly shocked at the scenes I had never seen and it DEFINITELY helped grow me up and well...now Im here

Uhhh...





Whats a VCR?

Thank you

That's not something an eleven yr old should be coming out with.

purplesweat said:

Or their sense of humour

Eleven year old is lil bit young Tame

My dates are usually 18 and over.

i watched it for the firt time when i was three. prince is pretty much how i learned about sex.

G0d said:

oh shit

I love this.

I bought the movie yesterday and have just watched it - love it! Made me want to check in at he org, and here the post on Purple Rain is

Had I only wacthed it when I was 11 and not - uhm... much older!

Sophianestesia said:

I was young myself when PR came out, my parents used to INVITE people over and we would watch it over and over again(we played it through the stereo). Yes even the sex part and even the Darling Nikki part. Kids see worse on daytime/night time television hell even in movies these days so really I see nothing wrong with letting a 11 year old watching Purple Rain.

No she's Tame

Tame said:

Tame said:

I'd seen a lot heavier shit than that when I was eleven...
