Purple Rain
A victim of his own anger, the Kid is a Minneapolis musician on the rise with his band, the Revolution, escaping a tumultuous home life through music. While trying to avoid making the same mistakes as his truculent father, the Kid navigates the club scene and a rocky relationship with a captivating singer, Apollonia. But another musician, Morris, looks to steal the Kid's spotlight -- and his girl. Musical films started almost as soon as sync sound was introduced in Hollywood in 1929. Starting as an outgrowth of vaudeville, Hollywood and the rest of the world quickly developed a universal language of singing and dancing in films that continues to this day. From Fred Astaire in “Top Hat” and Gene Kelly in “Singin’ in the Rain,” to “Wicked” to the latest from Bollywood, musicals have entranced audiences for a hundred years and show no sign of losing their appeal any time soon. Join us as we take a tour through the history of musicals on film from Hollywood to the rest of the world.
