Day 2: Purple Rain

Method of Acquisition: Borrowed

Runtime: 111 Minutes Year: 1984

Plot: Prince is a very talented musician from an abusive home and Morris Day is trying to ruin his life by taking his women and gigs.

Review: This movie has everything I love about movies: musical montages, predictability, slap fights, and amazing wardrobe. The only major downside was that no one had a single tear falling down their face. There was a lot of dry crying and symmetrical crying but no single tears. The absolute best moment is while Prince is passionately singing about his comatose father and kisses one of the girls in the band on the cheek. She gets the best, most creeped out face ever. Also, it ends on a freeze frame of a big face. Big face endings are my favorite.
