Yes! I guess in the movie he wanted to committed suicide. I felt like he didn't
have any hope.

Me too. It's been 11 years since I first saw the movie and I still don't understand. I'd love to ask Prince what the hell it was supposed to mean.

There should be some sort of post-traumatic support group for those of us who went to see that film in theaters. cry

The GB film not as bad as some of you say it is, if you can live with a film without any story line, that is.... lol

There's some great music videos in the film, Elephants And Flowers is my favorite, a great "video", imo.. cool

(I haven't seen any deleted scenes - yet..)

It's a sequel to Purple Rain...he's thinking of taking the same way out his dad did

yes I know his dad lived in Purple Rain but, for some reason, they've rewritten history

Prince seemed a little overly pre-occupied with death and suicide back in the day, maybe he was depressed. the scene in CB where he's thinking about his dad and picks up the gun was enough for me. Do you think he use to feel that hopeless in real life?

I have the outtakes to GB but I have never seen the scene of Prince getting ready to hang himself.

I'm sure Prince knows it's just a mood...a lonely mood, that passes when you believe you have a friend. cool

It had even less impact on me, in that I don't even care what its supposed to mean! Huge mis-step confused

Someone said there's some great music video material in there - which is true....but it would have been far better to leave them as just that instead of weaving them in to a nonsense that was paraded as a movie.

i haven't seen the scene your talking about, but i think it makes the connection to PR. when his dad shot himself and he is pacing he looks at the rope on the floor and then up and see's himself hanging from the rafters. the only time he makes an attempt is at the bridge, and Aura tells him, "Don't ever give up. When a man screams you must learn to whisper."
