Purple ...

fil-nik09

Well, of course, I am reviewing the film after the death of Prince and while the whole world is in shock and in search of his genius... so many will see this film - I am sure, for the first time - just like me.

The film as a film is really nothing extraordinary. It is really Prince and music that make it really great. Now, after watching it, two things became clear to me: the reason why the videos for songs were as they were - they are actually part of the film and second one - I can now better understand the song Purple Rain. After the film and after watching it 'into the concept ' it makes more sense to me.

I liked the colors in the movie. Very flamboyant, very 80's. The fashion, the music, the style... it all seems like a party. It all seems fun and that's what I liked the most about the movie. Although there is an underlying tragic story, the movie is fan for me.

I am not sure whether they were all serious with the film. Maybe early 80's were just like that: a bit crazy and over the top... so the acting was kinda ... hmmm ... nonchalant. But, again, it is a music film, so ...

Eight from me.

score 8/10
