"Hip-hop Boy": The ultimate beauty of frenzy / Vulcan Ji Give me a splendid stage. I will be the most coquettish firebird. Burn all hope in the red fire. Dazzling; dancing all the way. - Vulcan Ji. Inscription.
For the dead brother, for the beloved dance art, for the woman who fell in love at first sight, for defeating those shameful enemies... This is a cliché and inspirational story. However, because of the high-level dance performances in this film, it still makes this film a typical and successful professional dance film. Producer Will Pike's pride is not enough to convince me in my opinion, but I can't help but be struck by the beauty of the "step dance" in the film and the choreographic skills of Dave Scott. Dynamic dance moves, raucous clamor and hot sensuality give the film an indispensable youthful energy. I'm definitely a dance layman, so in this movie, I'm a hilarious layman. However, a liveliness that can bring noise to the layman also means the success of the film. I may value the film itself more, because the film is closer to my major; however, dance outside of the major still makes me sigh, the commonality of art may be that we can still be truly understood without any professional knowledge. fascinated by the art. Another noteworthy thing is that this film is the only film that focuses on black college life after Spike Lee's "Black School" in 1988. The film restores those causes in a relatively realistic way. Fraternities formed for various purposes and the black society in America are projected on college campuses in miniature. The strict hierarchy divides all kinds of people into their respective categories. The most representative is the battle for hegemony in the national hip-hop competition by MGX representing the upper class and TNT representing the lower class. After the DJ made his mark in a competitive hip-hop confrontation, he was invited by both teams to increase their chances of winning the national championship. The two have different conditions depending on the class they belong to. MGX's conditions are extremely favorable, because they are seven consecutive champions, they have the strongest alumni relationship, join them, make a phone call at graduation, and you can easily get a high-paying job; TNT has no promises, Instead of opening the front door to him because of the DJ's excellence, they told him that TNT has a complete set of screening procedures, and only after passing this procedure can they join, and DJs can apply. In addition to the social relations they have controlled, what maintains the upper class is the distribution of mutual interests; for the lower class, all they have is their commitment to love. More representative is the love between DJ and April. From the upper class and April and the DJ from the lower class, their love is not as smooth as other college movies, and the courage they have to overcome the resistance of both classes brings them the struggle and the ordeal they have to endure. Behind the layers of resistance are more layers of self-protection and solid sealing against external forces. The footage of the film follows the DJ from start to finish. Beginning with his team in LA and ending up in a picture frame in a corner of the black memorial wall, the film shows us the whole life of a black college in a different way. We can see the history and beliefs of all the fraternities on the walls of the memorial, from Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks to Michael Jordan, from great leaders to contemporary astronauts, successful businessmen, Actors and politicians, we can see cultural heritage about the black community in America. Perhaps, there is a very moving story in every frame, and what this film does is, tell us that story. It is not uncommon to see the big from the small. From the position of a character and the surrounding environment, we can always see the deeper things that the movie is going to show. This method is actually not uncommon. Dancing for a dead brother, angrily dancing for a beloved woman, dancing for the glory of the Brotherhood. Short and powerful roars, sweaty bodies, warm embraces and heroic and tragic swings; through the characters as clues and through dance as the carrier, the tragic recoil from the lower level to the upper level exploded in this film. Spoon maniac; so there is no arrogance. The solid foundation and innovative dance steps of the new and old TNT defeated the slow MGX, and the roar from the low-level counterattack to the high-level was so exciting. Vibrant, swift, intense, skillful and confrontational, this seems to be an operation more closely related to youth. Almost overnight, as an emerging dance form, hip-hop accompanied by nagging rap music, with its strong sense of rhythm, extremely creative and imaginative individual movements, and a huge impact on all dance forms. Inclusiveness has quickly swept any corner of the world. This is a movie about hip-hop, interspersed with exciting and exciting hip-hop performances from beginning to end, making this movie a very enjoyable visual enjoyment for us. Although the plot of the movie has a certain heavy and sad flavor, in the most important hip-hop performance, we feel more of the incisive visual sense pleasure and the surging passion because of the insolence of youth. Messy; but organized. When these two extremes come together to the extreme, I start to lose track of what is the truth. The messiest thing I've ever seen; I've been fascinated by the most extreme beauty. That's my most intuitive take on the exuberant choreography in this movie. From individual heroes to hero teams, individual prominence seems to be very important in this film, but it always ranks behind the interests of the team. This may be my interpretation of the film being straightforward. Team spirit, brotherhood, career and love, all are built on the basis of a team of heroes supported by individual heroes. It suddenly dawned on me that the days of the individual hero were long gone. The chaotic dance steps are the most exquisite swaying, the stage and lighting are exquisitely designed, coupled with short music and strong and fast-paced step dance; from the perspective of visual effects and sound effects, this movie is very watchable. The class views on black society and fraternity, the call to the lost kinship, and the desire for pure love; formally, the film is still cliché, but emotionally, the film is still sincere and low. The frenzy is a wild song and drunken dance with claws and claws. The ultimate is the ultimate precision behind the frenzy. I have watched this movie three times, but every time I always get a surging excitement. I'm thinking, is it because the same young and different life brings me infinite reverie. Should we also take the initiative to choose our youth and pursue the dreams that youth brings us? When I sat drowsy in front of my computer and fumbled for the keyboard every day, the flickering screen suddenly told me that my life was decadent and tasteless. The stereotyped inspirational movies can still make me feel passion and glory, persistence and impulsiveness, I think, is it enough. All we have is our hands and the strength to wave, and that's enough to create the world, if we're brave enough. The ultimate beauty of madness lies in that low roar deep within us.
