i have recently go back and watch this movie again from not see it in year . when i first see the movie i be too young to understand what the movie be about . now that i have see it again i couldn not believe what i have miss all these year . for me be able to see movie for what they be and i think that this movie be great . most people feel a though the music be the best part and but i do not think that true . most people do not realize how good the story be because it judge by the acting . the truth of the matter be that no one in the movie be really try to act rather they be just be themselves . the entire main cast be just play themselves . they weren not try to be anyone else and but themselves . i have actually watch and analyze the work and effort put into the movie . now from my perspective and the situation show in the movie be pretty much base on what actually go on musically in minneapolis at the time and it most of the thing that happen be actually true event that happen in prince career and who can tell it good than him . the music that be come from the city at the time be start to be recognize and be revolutionary . it be interest to see how the music be very influential mainly at the club first avenue and 7th st entry where in fact prince and among other musician and get their career start . it also a know fact that prince and morris day always have a competition with each other in real life and but it be a friendly competition . they be always friend . so the story basically play off of that competition aspect of their rivalry rather than their friendship which show the true competitive side of what occur at club first avenue for it time . another reason why this movie be good be due to the fact that some of the situation that occur in the movie be actually base on event that prince have go through in his life with the music aspect and the personal . to me and this make the movie more realistic as far a the emotion because he tell his trial and tribulation pre superstardom . plus and his dedication he put into his performance be phenomenal . prince make sure that every moment in the movie be do perfectly . anytime you hear a song play in the movie it in perfect sync with the situation at hand . prince be in all a musical genius and he have prove it on many occasion . this movie be what really put prince on the map officially and he hasn not slow down since . anyone who have watch this movie or still ( unbelieveably ) hasn not watch it yet and when you sit down and view this film you have have to watch it with intellect or you will miss the whole aspect of the movie . if you really love music this be definitely the movie to watch . above what anyone else say i think it a great movie to watch and own .
