Response to Beat Street

Beat Street is a movie about Art and Music. Music as in dancing it and making it. I personally like the movie because of all the awesome moves and some funny things that happen in the movie. There is also sad parts and weird parts. Movies with a little bit of everything are more interesting. Even if the action is so unreal. You have to admit that part where they chase Spit was hilarious, like a messed up slow motion chase.
This movie made me think of how much technology has advanced but how we have very similar ideas from back then. It also portrays what the average teen use to do. Some of them poor, but they still have the same likes as the rest. The movie seems to try to show some racism. Dancing and fighting are not the same thing. :)
Beat Street made me realize how important family is and to lead my friends into nothing, but good. The people in this movie tried to make themselves better in many ways some of them have done bad or dumb things, but they do their best make it better. I liked the fact that this movie is not over and it already feels like it accomplished something. Anyways this is a movie I would recommend especially to those not into music, dancing, etc..

  1. Where did the movie show racism? I think it just completely avoided it. While thats not a bad thing, they showed white and black strangers getting along perfectly and for the 80's in the Bronx, thats just not realistic. In fact, most bad neighborhoods are usually extremely segregated.
