Siskel & Ebert - Purple Rain (The Best of 1984)

This is a recap of the best movies of 1984 from Siskel & Ebert At The Movies, and their mentions of Purple Rain. They compare how Paul McCartney had a sham of a rock movie, whereas Purple Rain had a love interest, a story line, sensitivity, and great rock music. They compare the similarities between Saturday Night Fever and PR's storyline.

Note: This is not their original review, but rather a year-end recap.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

Why would we wanna do that? Life is best lived looking & moving forward.

Besides, I was a teenager in 1984, so I lived it. And it was extraordinary.

So funny that Gene Siskal compared Purple Rain to Saturday Night Fever. They had another thing in common that he didn't mention (because it hadn't happened yet): both of them had sequels (Graffiti Bridge and Staying Alive) that sucked hard. lol

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Me too! I just want to do it all over again!
