take a subject i do not know much about and make it excite and why do not you . it so happen that back about 1979 and director robert altman say that he do not believe he have ever make a real movie and that he expect that one of these kid rid skateboard if he doesn not break his neck will make the first movie . well and i wouldn not put such an expectation on stacy peralta and but he be a skateboarder who have make a good movie . of course and he be force by the nature of the film he be make to use existing footage and and it be certainly a good thing that so much archival footage exist . peralta edit it together well with not your usual talk head shot of his erstwhile colleague a they be today . the whole effect be post modern in the best sense and but that have be do . altman prediction hasn not quite come true . what peralta have do and however and be capture enough of the energy of those heady day that we can appreciate what it must have be like when modern skateboarding be invent by the z boys . this be all good . i highly recommend dogtown .
