I can't, but being the director of movies such as Dark Planet, Jazz and Street Knight, it would have been nothing else but another masterpiece

I think Magnoli did a great job with 'Purple Rain'

what exactly would you leave in? i mean, once you've cut out the dialogue, the terrible acting, all the badly lit scenes, the cheesy set, what are you left with? the entire thing whittled down to one, maybe two music videos?

I actually like busting out this movie every so often. It's much easier for me to watch than "Under The Cherry Moon".

Graffiti Bridge would have been a wee bit better if it weren't on that cheap ass looking film set. Like one big ole garage!

The plot is totally ignorable for me. Some of the performances are really really great though. It's something good to just let play in the background while you do something else.

I think it works for Prince purists and lets you remember where you were when it came out, if you were alive. It probably got so many bad reviews because of the great expectations of Prince fans. I never saw it in the theater but rented the video when it came out and bought the DVD but only when I found it for the RIGHT price.

Ok, what is the plot? (Cuz I know)

Spanky said:

Prince and his new power generation fight against the evil Morris Day and his hipster homies over the musical soul of a nightclub that looks like it's in an alley off of sesame street. The End.

It would have probably still been far from perfect, but it might have made a bit more sense

gamera said:

I used to play it when I did housework

gamera said:

I love this movie. It has a very deep and beautiful undercurrent throughout. I loved it the first time I saw it. Thanks for reminding me, I think I'll watch it again tomorrow.

I don't remember seeing the trailer. I enjoyed the movie. It's an artsy type of movie.

Harsh but it's no Pan's Labyrinth.

gamera said:

I like the performance of "Elephants and Flowers".For me,that's the highlight of the whole movie.

errant said:

No. Had Smoky as a pet, but he died when I was about 16 in 1984. Never want to go through reaction I had again. Man, kids should be prepared when they have pets.

Btw, I am so unimportant, I have plenty of time on my hands, lol.

Make sure you know the difference between "they're" and "there" if your projects involve stuffy English teachers, lol. Bless 'em all, though.

gamera said:

Yep,that's basically the entire plot In many ways,this movie is similiar to 'Xanadu',the 1980 musical starring Olivia Newton John.No real plot,just a bunch of music videos/performances and some occasional dialogue.

I bet some Structuralists could put a link 'twixt "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Graffiti Bridge". My mum understood the reactions of the girl in the first film. Something to do with Spain and post civil war? Christopher Tracy. Chris Tracy. Chris T. Hmmmm. Only my humble opinion, I'm often wrong.

Graffiti Bridge=person who can link different people, nations, etc. over the troubled waters.

Why Graffiti? 'Cos so many people put their own opinions onto him/her, whether those opinions are right or not. Starsailor: "you don't even know me, so why lie about me?" So many think they know Prince, when I don't think they really do.

"And then you're gonna meet a little Spanish man, who'll offer you wine and Moet"

the "Tick Tick Bang" sequence is ridiculous THIS is what he chooses to "battle" The Time with?!

ooh,I can't hold it....ooh,it's gettin all over me

Also,the idea of battling another band for control of a nightclub is very childish and silly.These are supposed to be GROWN men!

andyf said:

Stuffy English teachers? "There" and "they're (they are)" are not alike even in pronunciation

iloveannie said:

Lol. Why are scientists notoriously bad at English? I do think it is stuffy though. There's nothing wrong with spelling a word wrongly, one can still convey meaning. And some of the best writers are certainly not the best spellers.
