Beat Street

The movie beat street was made in 1984 and filmed in south Bronx, New York City. I personally think the movie was terrible. The movie made no sense and they randomly broke into song and dance at the strangest times. One question that stuck in my head was "whats the plot?" unfortunately that question was never answered. I am not trying to criticize the singing and dancing because it was pretty good. But, It was to random. This movie does emphasize the graffiti era in new york city as well as how hip hop was created. I'm not a huge hip hop fan. That's why this blog is, or is supposed to be, about rock music. But there was one song that I really did like during the movie. I can't remember what the song was called but it was right after the part where they RANDOMLY started dancing on the subway. One scene that I did like and think everyone should look out for (if you actually want to watch this movie) is the club scene. I really don't know what it was that made me remember this scene, but something stuck with me and made me remember it. If I had to Rate this movie out of 5, I wold give it a 2. That's being generous. It was like high school musical of the 80's. The actors may have been well cast and they did an OK job but the movie itself was awful. Well I think I got my point across.
