Boys Will B-Boys
I just watched "Planet B-Boy," a can't-take-your-eyes-off-the-screen documentary about breakdancing that -- odd as it might sound -- makes you proud to be a homosapien. It's about the 2005 "Battle of the Year," an annual, low-budget mecca of breakdancing held annually in Braunschweig, Germany. The movie follows five teams as they prepare for the 19-nation showdown: the defending champion Koreans, a second Korean team (because the champs make it automatically), the Americans, the French and the Japanese. They splatter themselves on stage in routines that blend in-your-face athleticism with amazing choreography. Here's a snippet (I've imbedded it below, but click the "snippet" hyperlink to watch it in high quality):
