Graffiti Bridge

Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame inductee Prince directs and stars in this sequel to the box-office smash hit "Purple Rain," one of the most talked about movies of 1984. This time around the Kid (Prince) and his rival (Morris E. Day) are partners, together running a trendy nightclub that was willed to them, each with very different ideas of how to run a business.

Archrival Morris Day has a monopoly on the areas clubs...he wants the Kid's half and to send him packing once and for all. Jerome is back for the ride as Day's right hand man as well as a bevy of guest performers. A bunch of us Prince fans got together for our semi-annual pizza party and this movie made it a fun afternoon. U get 10 points if you have The Kids' style shirts from the film and look as good as Prince.

I got my fix of Graf. Bridge with a Prince movie marathon inside Bing Art Books- a cozy little bookstore that honored Prince with a nice watch-party in their intimate venue. This movie sees the return of Prince's character The Kid, along with foes Morris Day and Time, with special appearances from other musicians. The film follows on from Purple Rain in that as Prince is still competing with Morris to see who is the king of night time entertainment in Minneapolis. Only now Prince and Day don't just play in bands, they each own a club, and are in direct financial competition with one another. Day hatches a plan to get rid of Prince and take over his club (which is called the Glam Slam). Prince, though, isn't too concerned; he's more interested in getting all philosophical and spends most of the film running about with his poet girlfriend Aura. I feel very trendy and cosmopolitan after watching this.

Graffiti bridge a sharp and well-written script, wonderful performances from the supporting cast, and brilliant song and dance routines. As i watch this art film, i'm noticing Prince has a keen eye for detail...he's very deliberate in what he'd like the audience to notice right then and what to omit. The costumes are also fabulous, and I thought prince was alluring as the kid. The film was originally intended to be a bit longer, and I think this is a charming and complex movie that openminded new-age thinkers will easily understand better than conventional audiences. I'm pleased with this final version, and am looking forward to bonus features if there are any.

Prince's 3rd Movie. Graffiti Bridge is basically the sequel to Purple Rain, how great is that?! Very. It's a comedy, musical, and drama all rolled into one. Prince does very nice work with this. 1990's Graffiti Bridge finds his purple highness not only singing and acting, but writing and directing, Prince (known as the Kid) was fighting for his place on stage. This time he's fighting to keep his club safe from the money-grubbing hands of his musical rival, the Time's Morris Day, now a nightclub mogul. Day embodies spiritual, sexual, and economic corruption, while the Kid stands for salvation through music and a more redemptive form of lust.

I own this movie and have watched it several times throughout the years since it was released. Prince stuns us with his phenomenal acting style, he's an accomplished musician, and I feel like that is what he displayed here, he's just the best one to tell this story through influence. Most of this movie is straightforward and teenish but that is not the directors/writers fault, its rated PG-13 and thats better, nobody gon be traumatized when they chillin in front their tv, mild suspense is there, you can just have it randomly playing in the background and people are really receptive to this movie when you have mixed company over. Still it is a great movie with even better music. The principals and moral convictions in Graffiti Bridge are quite strong, and if more movies would rely on the basics we are taught as young children we would have a better all around environment seeing that art reflects life which reflects art.
