WHEN PRINCE PREMIERED “GRAFFITI BRIDGE”

What made Prince great was also his greatest weakness. Prince could basically do everything musically by himself. But film is a totally different art form and he clearly needed help. Had he allowed others to help I think it could of work

[@Modernaire]

Yes and definitely more time and more budget it seem very rushed and compromised and I’ve always felt pens want to just to rush it to get it over with and move on to a new decade it was very symbolic. Graffiti Bridge the album itself is sort of a greatest unreleased hits collection of songs he always start work either great or whenever really use for anything didn’t fit and finally he made use of great songs.

Graffiti Bridge was a beautiful video album with a paper thin theme tying the songs together, and an even thinner tie to Purple Rain, but I loved it. On opening day, I saw it once by myself, and then I dragged my friends to see it. I enjoyed it thoroughly both times, and the many times I've watched it since!

When I first saw “Under the Cherry Moon”, after having had my 16 year old mind blown by “Purple Rain”, I thought: “Wtf...this movie sucks”. Then I saw “Graffiti Bridge” years later and said to myself: “On second thought, “Under the Cherry Moon” wasn’t THAT bad”.

[@danavixen6274]

TRUTH! I STILL think the Parade soundtrack is HIGHLY underrated. Under the Cherry Moon🍒 🌚 was entertaining at least.

[@Modernaire]

Prince went Hollywood with UTCM! It was kind of inspired by and a tribute to road movies, tribute to Hope and Crosby, Dean and Martin, Abbot and Costello, you know, fun buddy comedic romps! The ladder scene is totally of that style! And, there's a hidden message in it. Even the movie is not in color. But I'll let you figure it out! I LOVED UTCM and still think, and told him, Jerome, personally, that he was terrific in that movie. Jerome's role in GB was shameful, I don't know if Prince did that to him, you know, totally took out that acting potential because he jumped to the Jam and Lewis camp. Now THAT sucks.

[@AntwhaleNearfar]

@@Modernaire Jerome was good in UTCM but a bit too sus at times. Seemed like he was in love with “Chris ” and jealous of his trysts with that rich white dude’s daughter.

[@Modernaire]

@@AntwhaleNearfar That’s the part of the ambiguous joke whatever is it story is insinuated or clear he was terrific hilarious and it was a breakout role for him!

[@AntwhaleNearfar]

@@Modernaire More like a make out role for him...as in wanting to make out with a dude. I’ll take him in “Purple Rain” over UTCM any day. A lot more understated but minus the cringe factor.

@@Modernaire according to a pretty recent interview I read with Sananda Maitreya(formerly Terrence Trent D'Arby), both Michael Jackson's and Prince's people(George Michael's too) were afraid of his appeal and talent and were doing everything they could behind the scenes to stifle his career. He says he was a case of too much too soon and the powers that be were also greatly opposed to the unapologetically Black masculinity he was projecting. So much so that they stripped him of the image he had cultivated.... the retro, leather-clad Black motorcycle hippie with the slight euro flair....gave it to Lenny Kravitz to launch his career, promoted it and drove it home

I could've written a better script than Prince did for this movie. First use real sets. Get rid of the Angel completely. Have the two rocking it out in their own nightclubs and competing against each other like in Purple Rain in their shared night club. It could've been a real fun sequel to Purple Rain with love interests, new songs, dances, fights, and Prince in perhaps a new relationship, other than an angel. I'VE NEVER SEEN AN ANGEL DOING SEX SCENES BEFORE.

Woa, That photo at :24 seconds in what’s the story behind that I’ve never seen that before it looks like either love sexy or SOTT. Aside from that thank you for focusing on that whole very very strange set up a fence around Ingrid around graffiti Bridge. Like similarly the recent SOTTSDE hijacking of the Melvoins in retrospect seeing an artist being exploited by other artists who are tokenized by their owners really really bothers me today. It’s not uncommon still. I think it’s a great lesson in being careful but when people are in the midst of it do you get spun around in their ambition in a matter how alert you may be or how where of it to send agree many allow themselves to. I don’t think that’s the case in Ingrid though. If you look at the justify my love video somewhere in it is a full on Prince and personator doing prince from graffiti Bridge nude tour it’s weird

@@youtubestolemyoriginalhandle I can agree with that but in fairness by the early 90s we’re talking 9192 post graffiti bridge in a need direction that Princess had it he kinda lost interest and wanted to kind of barry or leave that spirit child thing behind. In the process of that I think he appears to have let Ingrid figure out her own destiny but allowed her full access to Paisley Park recording studios and that’s where Kopelman one in a line of several odd engineers stepped in. And again Ingrid said interview that prince was like that’s you. Anyways I don’t like that prince invited Lenny on stage and later recorded with him and during his fight with record Company was inviting Lenny on stage and so on after that. That was messed up to put that lightly on Princess part. Now looking back now knowing more than what we know that doesn’t look good and every time I see Lenny or hear him a cringe Madonna. Well she made me cringe a long time ago but this just has more cringey. One of the most exploitive popular pop stars I’ve ever seen.

@@Modernaire prince spent weeks and months on Ingrids recording, it makes sense he can recognize Ingrids work. And prince put his lawyers on that case, he picked up the tab there, to get Ingrid credit and loyalties on the song lenny took from her. Prince had lenny around so everyone could see what a better guitar player prince was. They recorded together and prince didn't release their music, he had no plans to. It was all gratifying for prince to be "Boss" in those situations. Yeah it was wrong for lenny to take Ingrids lyrics. But prince got him back several times. Did you hear prince say in an interview that lenny had been recording with him? That was telling lenny's label on him. And prince said in the same interview that lenny is still on the plantation, when he comes up here we can do something. That had to sting. Prince was a little vindictive sometimes. Ingrid that was for you. Yeah Ingrid was around paisley park for about 4-5 years. I think when prince found out she was seeing Tony, he ended it and also ended Tony too that had recorded there. prince wanted his girls to be faithful to him.

[@Sinnik22]

He could have had Magnoli. Dude was still his manager just before it all fell apart & filming started. SMH

[@Modernaire]

Well the concept was in development since about I think 1987 or 88 as either the dawn and or later became graffiti bridge it’s worth doing a little research if you’re interested. And then now we know that Kim Basinger and prints were kind of modifying it for her but then she claimed intellectual property rights and took off with the script. How about that thieves in the Temple. So he had to sort of rush it rewrite it and make it what is a sort of ambiguous equal yes no and a repeat of the acting was kind of dry but they were moments of brilliance as always. I think that if Prince would have left the opening scenes which was a terrific or is it terrific performance by him and was dynamically shot an edited then he would’ve made more sense as a musical that it was meant to be.

So let me get this straight: Ingrid Chavez was the one Lenny Kravitz had an affair with, which made Lisa divorce him, and Ingrid Chavez wrote the song for Madonna when she was slated as the star of Graffiti Bridge. Was Prince more upset with her because she was gonna sound like she was copying Madonna, or was it just more salt on the wounds he had about Madonna and Basinger?

[@youtubestolemyoriginalhandle]

The song was a love letter that Ingrid wrote to Lenny Kravitz who was sleeping with both her and Madonna while married to Lisa Bonèt....who had incidentally practically given up her entire career for Lenny. Remember...Bill Cosby was very much against her marriage and having a baby which was the beginning of the end for her as Denise
