much have be write about purple rain and the apparent quin essential musician bio movie and however i be here to tell you that the movie do not deserve it high praise . first of all let get one thing straight prince be a great musician and music be the one area where purple rain excels . even the score be mesmerise and and if this be shot purely a a concert film it would be a great experience unfortunately it not and a such the movie have some problem . first of all be the horrendous acting or writing and prince character the kid be suppose to come off a some type of mysterious loner of few word unfortunately this just come off a corny and incensere . a good loner character should at least have some talkative moment and unfortunately prince character rarely have over a few word of dialog in the film and it hard to believe that he would get the girl this way . everything just seem a little off here and which be a shame because you can tell this be a character that terribly conflict and live a very complicated live and but we aren not ever allow to get inside of it . a surprising aspect of this film be just how much of this take place in concert . prince and morris life seemingly take a back seat to the performance here and which i guess make sense from a business perspective and but it exhaust to have a 2 hour movie where seemingly half of it take place on stage and especially when the character back story get push aside for it . so to sum it up represent this isn not a very good movie .
