a a documentary and this film isn not much . it just show footage of people do this clowning business and some short interview during make up session or whatever . but it do portray the subject well . the subject be clown and krumping and extreme form of dance bear from hip hop and make famous by the chemical brother video galvanize . what it look to me be a hip hop mime and with violent overtone . at first i think what the hell be that . there be black people shake every body part as violently a they can and throw hand up and down and leave and right and like monkey touch a high voltage line . but then i get it . it be language and body language and and it be art and a each kid there bring his own message . immediately the film start show how this type of dance be keep child off the street and do something positive and etc . and etc . that dance do not look too positive to me . it express a lot of frustration and violence and but it sure beat shoot people and and i be shock to see what the life for people in south l. a. be like and where the only other option of expression be join a gang and hurting or kill people . but let not get ahead of ourselves here . the same thing be say of rap and hip hop a time ago and and they all turn out to be easily hijack by commercial interest or corrupt towards the gangsta side . and it so easy . these people have no education and no money and they can be easily sway either way and if someone put resource into it . bottom line represent this be like a documentary about the rise of hip hop or boogie before it and only it about some other form of spontaneous urban expression . i do not think the film or the dance style be very special or well do and but they do show in one quick swoop the situation and subculture of these people and also their emotion and basically express in dance . it also pretty depress and since it show how desperate people lift their spirit through something that doesn not really do anything else for them . like the music of the slave . they be still slave and only they could cope with it because they sing a lot .
