      Can't be pleasing to the eyes, dance can only be street sports

      I haven't seen the movie before, but I have experienced the tail of the breakdance craze as a student, experienced the whirlwind craze, and that's it. Today, more than 30 years later, when I watch this film again, the feeling is not very good, and it can only be described as poor.

      There are countless single dances and even more group dances throughout the film. Now it seems that there is not much beauty, and it is messy but full of inexplicable...

      Initial breaking

      "Break Dance" is a movie in the early 1980s. The United States was very mature at that time, and there are traces of dance steps nowadays. But if you think of "Hip-hop Boy" as a new achievement for breaking, the biggest difference is that it now pays more attention to strength. "Break Dance" also pays more attention to the visual effects presented by the tricks of action, but "Street Dance Boy" focuses on the maximum burst of energy. This can also be seen from the video of the current breaking...

      Why are they rejected by mainstream culture

      It is said that the introduction of this movie in the 1980s triggered a boom in "break dancing". At that time, the open China was undoubtedly full of curiosity about foreign culture. Many things would have an impact, like the bikinis and sunglasses of "The Man from the bottom of the Atlantic", as well as bell bottoms, foreign smoke, rock and roll, Mike Jackson etc.

      One of my college classmates likes dances like "break dancing". At the freshman art party that year, a few boys jumped on...

      The starting point of street dance

      Break dancing is a classic.
              I haven't experienced the era of breakdancing, so I don't understand the role of this film in the childhood of the 70s and 80s.
      But I will judge it from the perspective of a hip-hop enthusiast.

              Nowadays, the mainstream dance types of street dance are roughly divided into breakin (formerly break dance), poppin, lockin, and hiphop. But 30 years ago, in the era of filming, all dance species had almost the same roots and influenced...

      The imprint of the times, youth is gone!

      That afternoon in July, after coming out of the theater, a few partners agreed to go to the night market to buy "Thunderbolt Gloves" at night! After returning home based on the memory of the plot, I took my broomstick and danced in front of the mirror. I accidentally broke a vase on the window sill. Then I saw my mother rushing in waving an apron and shouting: What are you doing?"...Every time I watch "Break Dance", I think of this experience. There seems to be pain from the apron on my...

      Graffiti, bboy, spacewalk sweeping, garage rehearsal poplock is too dei, so many classic songs are actually included in the soundtrack of this movie long ago, and those who sing on the beach will clean the glass. I never thought that Mr. Taco was so handsome when he was young. So handsome, the protagonist actually took off his clothes! Pete doesn't even exist anymore. It is good to have dance foundation, and the garage can instantly master three dance styles 666. The male protagonists are...

    Behind the scenes gags

    When many people see Breakin' for the first time, they can't help but ask: Where did these boys learn dances like this? This is because Breakin' looks so different from other dances. For many people; Breakin' does not seem to have a source; but in fact it is not the case; in the history of Breakin', one of the most important things is considered to be that Breakin' is very suitable for street dance; it has many forms of expression :...
