Prince - Purple Rain (complete movie scene)

A humble tribute to one of the greatest artists of our time. Scene taken from the film of the same name, released in 1984.
"May u live 2 see the dawn"
Prince Rogers Nelson (June 7, 1958 - April 21, 2016)
Note: Since someone complained about this not being the complete scene because it starts a few seconds earlier, I'd like to clarify that I said so because it's where the song starts.

I agree about he wasn't recognized enough for how he played his guitar. He's incredible! Who's listening 🎶 👀 in 2024?

I am

[@Cynnas]

I'm 55 and remember well how they talked about his musucal talent including the guitar. I remember getting credit for it from the start.

[@lgjackson3183]

He was the unicorn of musicians. I introduced my teenage boys to Prince and they were like “Whoa! Why aren’t we listening to this now?” Exactly.

I've been listening every year since the 90s. Maybe since the womb in the 80s 🤘

I swear his solo in purple rain during the Super Bowl made me a lifelong fan. I’d known who he was but I was so little but I understood what it was even then what it meant to pour the contents of your heart out all over the floor lol

I saw him twice. Saw every other guitar god from Jeff Beck to Jimmy Page to Van Halen too. This dude was a guitar god. I’d place him 2nd behind Jeff Beck, but he was ridiculous live. Agree he doesn’t get enough credit for what a badass axeman he was.

[@intellectualrebel5340]

​@@Sekou-yr2rrit was. He did it when they played Purple Rain for the first time in public (also Wendy's first concert) and surprised her. Then he totaly surprised her again doing it again for the movie. Adorable. In the movie storyline it's even more adorable because he got it first from Appolonia and then when he starts valuing his band more he uses the same gesture of affection for Wendy because she's kinda his best friend. And am I the only one that noticed that before he dissapears off the stage, he touches Wendy's shoulder for one last time. That was so heartbreakingly sweet.💜

[@groofoot]

Her sour-face reaction is priceless .... then she reprised that reaction when he kissed her during the 'Kiss' video .....

[@jameslatta6813]

@@groofoot The "sour-face" in this clip is due to the fact that Wendy is about to start crying In the "Kiss" video Prince does not kiss her actually. Just leans in towards her. And she mock cringes. Although it may be an homage to the clip above. But too different scenes and expressions. One sincere, one in mock gesture.

Those sing-screams toward the end are just kinda the perfect mix of pain-expressing and soothing. Like actually facing the buried trauma hurts, but letting the pain out feels good in some way.
