I’m writing a review on the album, not the movie. Aura sits around this bridge all day (when really, it was a cheap prop that is still most likely in Paisley Park studios), and writes dull poetry, as P and Morris try to win her heart (Guess who gets it?) As in Purple Rain, Prince and Morris are fighting once again, but this time it’s over ownership to Prince’s nightclub, Glam Slam. Her role in the film is a "spiritual angel" (what?) that plays as a mutual friend between Prince and Morris. Aura eventually was played by Ingrid Chavez, Prince’s protégée at the time. Of course this didn’t stop Prince, let alone hurt his ego, as he stubbornly pushed on. In a hilarious story, Madonna told Prince straight-up "this script is a piece of ****". What was he thinking?Įntirely written by Prince himself, he sent the script over to Madonna as he had hoped she would play the lead female role, Aura. It is merely just a collection of Prince Songs put into certain scene sequences. The film is set up like a musical, with none of the tracks really going along with the movie itself (Most of the music is great, as I will explain later). These are the only two plot points that even remotely resemble anything from Purple Rain. GB is a somewhat "sequel" to Purple Rain, as Prince plays The Kid, and Morris Day and The Time come back again. This bridge, with graffiti on it, is a paper Mache disaster that could fit in a single guy's studio apartment. It barely gets away with the old cliché "so bad, it's good", as some parts in the film are completely hysterical, due to the cheese sandwich script, and downright terrible movie props. He couldn't have been further away from the truth, as this film was sandblasted with awful reviews, even from Prince Fans. Perhaps it was a boost in confidence for him (as if he didn’t already have plenty) as it seemed like Prince himself felt he could do no wrong. 1989 was a year of highs again as Prince hit the charts with a force with the Batman soundtrack. IF ONLY I could travel in a time machine back to 1990 to beg Prince not to make the film, Graffiti Bridge. While not necessairly a good launching pad to get into Prince world, it still holds some of his best material, ever. Reeves said city staff is working with FDOT to have more signs on both sides installed.Review Summary: Forgive me for the length of the review, as it needed detail to describe the equally good and bad parts. Several years ago, the city installed more signs along the road to warn drivers of the low clearance, but the situation is complicated by the southern portion falling under the jurisdiction of the Florida Department of Transportation while the northern side falls under the city's jurisdiction. Reeves said formalizing the designation will mean installing signs warning drivers that no trucks are allowed on the road, as well as allow the designation to show up on GPS programs like Google Maps. More signs added Graffiti Bridge maximum height clearance lowered, flashing signs hoped to deter drivers So, the first step we're going to take is we're going to formalize that being a no trucks corridor." "We don't wish that on anybody to have damage to their moving truck or their RV or anything like that. "Maybe some people enjoy seeing all those updates on Facebook, but I know it's difficult on traffic. Reeves made reference to the Facebook updates during his remarks Tuesday. Several of the accidents are documented on the Graffiti Bridge Facebook page managed by local artist Joseph Seurkamp.
