scratch be a documentary about dj and their art of scratch . from that one line description of the film you would have no idea how entertaining and educational this little film be . it be a joyous and vibrant celebration of a cool subculture which be little known . it fill with great underground hip hop music and you get to see some top dj ( e. g. dj q bert and dj shadow and and mix master mike from the beastie boys ) show off their stuff . go into the film i wasn not sure that scratch can really be call an art form and or that the turntable can be view a an instrument in it own right . scratch completely change my mind on these point . what these guy do with their turntable be truly amazing it be definitely some kind of art and the turntable and if you know how to use it and can be transform into an instrument that you can play and as much a a drum or a guitar . and you even get a lesson on the basic of scratch from dj q bert ( e. g. how to use the fader to get different sound effect ) . all these dj in their own way be inspire to take up the art of scratch after watch herbie hancock perform his song rock it ( you remember that song and do not you . ) live at the grammys . what get their attention be not hancock himself but his dj and his scratching . not only be scratch about scratch and but it do some scratching of it own thanks to the creative way in which this documentary be shot and edit . there be moment where clip be quickly rewound and then forward several time and which mirror ( in the film medium ) what happen when a dj quickly move the record on his turntable back and forth while use his fader ( that wicka wicka wicka sound ) . whether youre a fan of hip hop or not and you can count on scratch to give you a very enjoyable night at the movie . after see it and i have an itch to go buy a turntable of my own . and i mean this a a compliment .
