Today, we’re talking about the ICONIC 1984 film Purple Rain, which stars the legendary rock/pop/soul artist Prince. It tells the story of an incredibly cocky-yet-talented young Minneapolis artist with a standing residency at the popular club First Avenue, but who is also the product of a violent household. He has a long-standing rivalry with Morris Day’s The Time, and falls in love with a smoking hot but struggling “singer” named Apollonia. The film addresses issues of domestic violence, misogyny, ego, and of course, "what’s up with that one song shit!" But these are all trifling details because the film is basically a 90 minute music video starring Prince. Which is all it really has to be.
The film stars Prince, Apollonia Kotero, Morris Day, Clarence Williams III, Jerome Benton, and The Revolution!
