How would you like the upcoming Netflix documentary constructed? Personally, I would love a one hour part for almost every decade of his life:
Birth to 20 years old - Part 1
20 - 30 - Part 2
30 - 40 - Part 4
40 - 50 - Part 5
50 - 57 - Part 6 | |

Birth to Controversy 1999 to Parade SOTT to Symbol Come to Rainbow Children Musicology to Lotus The rest. But who the fuck is gonna watch a 6 hour documentary except us nerds? | |

At present, it's planned to be eight hours; that's more than enough time to cover each decade and emphasize his career. Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me. | |

There are 8 parts apparently, not 6.
And Bart said your part one is not interesting for anybody. [Edited 12/28/21 12:25pm] | |

1. Birth to For You
2. Prince to Controversy. This is key era as he fused new wave/punk ethos to R&B/funk
8. Art Offical to Death. [Edited 12/28/21 13:24pm] [Edited 12/28/21 13:25pm] [Edited 12/28/21 13:25pm] | |

I really don’t care, as long as the 90s/00s don’t get brushed over as Prince’s “wandering years”. I’m sick & tired of the whole narrative about The Revolutions era being his best, at this point in time; it’s false, lazy and corny as hell. | |

Yes. I agree. He make a lot of great music post 90s and 00s. It all makes u a great body of work. | |

The Last Dance is 10 episodes. I'd be happy with 8 hours if each episode is at least 2 hours. | |

This moment is all there is... | |

Netflix documentaries have a pretty similar tone in their structure. I'd expect.... -Another continuation of the above episode focusing on proteges and him as lyricist -Episode about him changing styles, taking risks, heartbreak, break ups, commercial up/downs

I would like them to focus at first on his recording history then focus soley on his live performances with footage we’ve never seen before of both main & aftershow material. | |

I mean, this would be incredible. | |

Based on what all of you are prognosticating, this whole thing sounds cornball and not worth the look. | |

It’ll probably be like the Selena series, but I’ll watch it | |

my main hope is that Netflix brings this man who purposely wanted to remain a mystery, back to earth for us. By this I mean, i hope they focus on his superhuman but earthly gifts like, an unstoppable worth ethic, a laser focus and determination and a fearlessness that is pretty much unparallelled. I do hope that they show that he was a man of action, and not as much talk. I hope they show that he was a student of those that came before him....that he watched, absorbed and emitted all into something totally unique....
..and I really hope they hit home the fact that, had he been a white man who could do all that Prince did...he'd be regarded far more highly then he is today. He was a black man who was never going to be told what to do which is what i respect as much as his musical output and ability. | |

I really don't care. Just gimme an awesome Soundtrack with lots of outtakes and unreleased versions of familiar songs. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
in a way this is my biggest fear. another completely anachronistic and remixed to shit outtakes lp a la originals. i want more stuff too but if it's at the cost of them completely blotting out and ignoring any and all real and historical context and importance of the material as they have done so many times before, they can keep it. | |

Well, if it includes songs that failed to materialize on the previous two Deluxe Editions, I'll take it. Historical context or not. In fact, maybe songs were intentionally left off the box sets on purpose for projects such as this. | |

Now listen.. I would love a “let it be” style doc as much as everyone else.. but there are several factors we need to take into place. The most important being.. this is going to be the first official Prince documentary, and it’s going to be trying to reach a broad audience. Although it’s not a biopic, we should probably view this as the estate going for that “Bohemian Rhapsody” type of response. There is a large percentage of the public, especially the younger generation, that aren’t even very familiar with the most iconic aspects of Prince.. I believe this documentary is going to be the the firm groundwork on why prince is prince.. later on we may get some in depth superfan style doc.. but I don’t know if this is going to be the one. I’m sure they will put in a fair amount of nuggets in to where even the hardcores will walk away satisfied.. but to think this is going to be a deep dive into the work, in my opinion, is a long shot. | |

If people are happy to watch an 8 hour documentary on a band doing rehearsals for 2 weeks, then reckon 8 hours on the entire life/career of Prince will be fine. | |
