Planet B-Boy Review!




As we all know b-boying started in the Bronx back in the early 70's, killed by the media in the late 80's, then suddenly somehow resurfaced in the present. But in reality it never died, it continued all this time and became a force to be reckoned with. Little known to the public, there was an underground b-boy movement that became stronger and stronger as time went on. It soon became a worldwide phenomenon. Shame on the media who exploited the b-boy culture! B-boying came from the streets and the media cannot destroy something that was born from hardship and pain. I know because it was b-boying that got me out of the gangs living in LA in the 80's and continue to inspire me to this day to continue Emortal. It was born from hardship, struggle, acceptance and the will to continue.
Planet B-Boy is documentary on 5 crews from the US, Japan, Korea, and France. The movie emphasizes their struggle, hardship, and acceptance in the world. It was through b-boying that made their mind, body, and soul stronger to overcome the challenges in their lives. The movie was well made and I give the movie two thumbs up. Don't miss this film, it is only showing in limited theaters for a short time. I wish I had a girlfriend, its the perfect date movie. j/k But seriously I would take her to watch this film if I had one. Aight...
