[color=mediumpurple:d2dd9b66ab]Well Prince's acting is always gonna be scary either way, so you just have to accept that when you watch his movies.[/color]



He and Madonna should team up and do a movie together.

The scene where P sees himself hanging from a rope is very dark in theme. P was a "dark" dude during that period. Anyone that had seen P in concert b4 the movie knows that. Listen 2 certain parts of the 1999 album, and you'll hear some strange sounds. And Prince's "screams" on that album is kinda unsettling. "Something In The Water", prime example. The scene where P sneaks up behind Apples, trying 2 scare her. The backwards moaning playing in the background. Yeah, P tried 2 project a mysterious vibe in that movie. Some same scary.



I agree, Prince was always a dark and mysterious figure.

Now if you want to see a real horror flick, check out "Grafitti Bridge".

I'm a film student and to me Prince is sometimes lit in a way that is almost scary in parts of Purple Rain.

OMG, I am sane. I have always thought it was pretty dark. Maybe they will lighten it up alittle in the new dvd editon. I can bearly see P's booty shake towards the end of the movie, hee hee.

What the fuck are you guys talking about? The whole movie was put out to push Prince's music. See the movie for what it is a fun Rock n Roll movie.


Oh No My friend--All my phychological strength and patience has to be saved for Graffiti Bridge.

There Prince looks and acts like a little bitch, but he also wrote and directed the entire fiasco. It was like watching a really bad Eddie Murphy movie; only , at least Eddie is TRYING to be funny.


Maybe you're thinking of Under The Cherry Moon, which Prince directed. He neither wrote nor directed Purple Rain.

I think the lower film quality works great with movies like Nightmare on Elm Street and other popular horror flicks. You couldn't see much details in the dark areas, which gave it a creepier feeling overall. Most of the horror movies out now are too slick, you can see too much, nothing really feels like it's hiding in the darkness.

I totally agree with that.
