SUMMARY:Rock Hall Screens Prince's 1984 Hit Film "Purple Rain"
DESCRIPTION:\nThu 2/27 @ 7PM\nThe artist (formerly?) known as Prince was kn
 own for his grandiose self-mythologizing as well as for his ambitious and 
 unmatched music. In his 1984 film Purple Rain\, which he starred in and fo
 r which he wrote all the music\, it interspersed riveting concert footage 
 with a romantic story line. In it\, the hero\, a thinly veiled version of 
 Prince himself\, dubbed “The Kid\,” struggles for recognition in the M
 inneapolis club scene\, while dealing with abusive parents\, musical compe
 titors\, and the attention of his girlfriend\, aspiring singer Apollonia (
 played by Apollonia Kotero) whom his rival Morris Day (played by Morris Da
 y) is trying to steal.\n\nIt was a hit\, making back its costs 10 times ov
 er and winning the Oscar for Best Original Song Score. The hits “When Do
 ves Cry\,” “Let’s Go Crazy” and the title track came from the soun
 dtrack album.\n\nIt’s the next film being screened at the Rock Hall’s 
 Foster Theater as part of its latest film series. The guitar used by Princ
 e during the Purple Rain tour is on display in the Rock Hall’s 1984 exhi
 bit so you can check that out prior to the screening from 6-7pm.\n\nGet ti
 ckets here.\n\n[mappress mapid="586"]
