		f it wasn't for Purple Rain, no one east of Madison would have ever heard of Lake Minnetonka and First Avenue wouldn't have turned into a Minneapolis tourist trap (well, at least for the duration of the mid '80s).
		Purple Rain's gazillion-selling soundtrack album has more or less eclipsed the film in pop culture history books.
		The film is obvious, and conflict is merely prelude to (Prince and) the Resolution, but Magnoli's professional, downright neorealistic approach to filming the concert clips almost disguises how audacious a structural conceit is the film's climax: nearly a half-hour of musical numbers that render the solipsism of Prince's vanity project entirely justifiable.

	Purple Rain Review
		Purple Rain can easily be considered a vanity project for one of the 80's biggest musical superstars: Prince.
		Billed as a semi-autobiography, Purple Rain tells the story of an angry yet brilliant young musician that is trying to hold his life and band together.
		Purple Rain is an example of all glamour and no substance (arguably one of the 80's trademarks) – the little bit of "plot" there is in the film is dragged down by Prince's unconvincing and sometimes wince-inducing acting.

	Purple Rain DVD review on AudioRevolution.com
		Directed by Albert Magnoli, written by Magnoli and William Blinn and, most crucially, starring Prince, "Purple Rain" pauses for naturalistic spoken dialogue in places, but at its heart, it is a mega-video, here to move us more by power of music and performance than through traditional filmic storytelling.
		Visually, the "Purple Rain" DVD is very handsome (aside from the full-screen cropping).
		"Purple Rain" is enjoyable on its own terms and as a time capsule of the state of the ‘80s rock musical.

		Prince’s Purple Rain was an explosive catharsis for my nineteen year-old mind, a revelation of mind-bending sounds and eye-popping ideas that challenged many things I thought I knew about music and life at that point.
		Each song on Purple Rain is designed with one singular purpose – to move you (with the possible exception of Take Me With You, a song he wrote for Apollonia to perform for this album – it's the only song I don't really like in the collection).
		Purple Rain moves the soul – it defies musical gravity, lifting the listener to a new level of auditory and mental consciousness, a perfect storm of sound building and building, wave upon wave until a final guitar solo crashes upon the shore and washes over you again and again

	Amazon.com: Music from the Motion Picture "Purple Rain": Music: Prince & the Revolution (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		If 1999 was a warmup for Prince's stardom, it hit him like a bolt of purple lightning from the heavens, followed by an earthshattering thunderclap, for Purple Rain was Prince's supreme moment.
		Her vocals are really prominent when the two sing "I don't care if we spend the night at your mansion" and the other four verses of the bridge, as well when they repeat the title line toward the end of the song.
		If you divorce this album from the Purple Rain film (the first of Prince's trilogy of cinematic vanity projects), what you have here is an album showcasing the work of a brilliant musician really hitting his stride.

		To judge Purple Rain as a piece of cinema is to miss the point completely.
		His sound was fresh and original, he was upping the bar for what was expected from pop singers (he wrote the lyrics and music, he produced, he controlled everything he could about his releases) and he was bringing people of all races, religions and creeds together.
		The interviewer (he gives his name at the beginning, but it's near impossible to make out) is awful, the celebrities interviewed treat him like a pest, and about ten minutes of the running time is taken up by two music videos available elsewhere on the disc and the trailer.

		Before the Purple Pain decided to change his name to a symbol not recognised on any keyboard, causing entertainment editors the world over to have collective strokes, he made a white hot album.
		"Purple Rain" was - and still is - an essential part of any good music collection.
		Billed as a "complicated tale of a man with a talent for music repeating his father's self destructive behavior'', "Purple Rain'' is nothing more than a "I've got a hot album so let's cash in quick'' exploitation flick.

		Purple Rain signaliserte et bevisst retningsvalg i Princes karriere, hvor han beveget seg bort fra det sexifiserte og sjokkerende imaget, og mot en mer kommersielt salgbar fremtoning.
		Purple Rain presenterte også The Revolution som et mer deltakende band i den kreative prosessen, og det er i hovedsak gruppefølelsen som dominerer albumet.
		For min del er Purple Rain det Prince-albumet jeg spiller minst nå i ettertid.

		Despite the misogynistic undercurrents in Purple Rain, the film's biggest fans were young women.
		Gorgeously photographed by Donald Thorin, Purple Rain is essentially a glorified music video, highlighted by a catalogue of Prince's hits, including I Would Die 4 U, When Doves Cry and Let's Go Crazy; the score deservedly won an Academy Award and a Grammy.

		Instead, Purple Rain succeeded in attracting the budding MTV generation into theaters for what amounts to little more than an extended play music video, complete with a hack script designed to appeal to junior high students.
		His box office success with Purple Rain was only due to the Prince phenomena and a budding MTV generation love affair with music videos.
		A failure as a film, it would rate a single star, but considering the strength of Prince’s music, Purple Rain is worth a rental for the curious and is a keeper for his fans to play over and over.

	Purple Rain Pimpology
		When the phenomenon known as "Purple Rain" burst onto the screen in 1984, it was still only a stone's throw away from the 1970's.
		What really gives "Purple Rain" the aura of the pimp-hooker relationship is the inconsiderate and often violent interaction between Prince or Morris Day with Apollonia and the other women in the film.
		At the time of its release, "Purple Rain" was only the latest to tell young women that looks and sexuality can easily be sold, and to tell young men that maybe, just maybe, pimping is easy after all.

		Then there is a cool featurette going over the history of First Avenue, the nightclub that gave Prince his start, and is the stage on which all the musical performances in the film take place.
		The MTV Premiere Party feature is cool for a mintue, but it is so dated that once you see people such as a young Eddie Murphy and Pee Wee Herman make their arrival at the premiere the interest really runs out.
		Fortunately enough the goodies don't stop there as there are eight music videos on the disc including two from The Time, one from Apollonia and five from Prince including Purple Rain, Take Me With You, I Would Die 4 U/Baby I'm a Star and When Doves Cry.

		At least partially autobiographical, Purple Rain stars Prince as a young musician in Minneapolis, struggling to win acceptance for his music while dealing with numerous crises in his personal life.
		But it's the kinetic concert sequences that made Purple Rain an instant classic: the opening party anthem, "Let's Go Crazy," the Time's "Jungle Love," and the soaring closer, "Purple Rain," are just a few of the film's many musical highlights.
		Purple Rain, was an amazing film that I would recommend to anyone.
