I have got to admit watching movies in class is pretty awesome. Beat Street is the second movie we have watched that doesn’t really apply to what we are currently learning. This movie centers on hip hop culture in the 1980’s. Young men and women who love doing what they do: DJ-ing, break dancing, and spraying graffiti on white trains and brick walls. This movie really showed me how passionate people are in achieving their dreams. No matter what others say, the characters in Beat Street pursue their talent any time and where. Having dance battles in train stations or making your own beats in the comfort of your room.
Today, many young artists are trying to make it big. Beat Street sets a prime example of that. This movie spreads the message of talent in teenagers and young adults. Taking every chance they receive to be heard or seen. Hip hop culture is very much alive today. You can hear it through someone’s earphones on the train. You can see people dance immediately once they pick up a beat. Graffiti is considered art in the young eyes of the public. Clothes from the 80’s are coming back to style today…
