Synopsis
This film brings us much closer to the world of b-boying, which is often considered as a subculture among ¡®outsiders¡¯. Not only does this film entertain us with spectacular moves and background music, it allows us to get a better understanding on the world of b-boying, and that breakdancing is more than entertainment for teenagers. The question of whether b-boying is sports or art is answered earnestly by Dyzee¡¯s life, as he organizes competitions and establishes a well-organized judgment standard. It is very interesting for us that Dyzee chooses Seoul as the best place for trying new things and making new trends. B-boying is life itself to b-boys in the film from Korea, Finland and Thailand including Dyzee. The film straightforwardly shows the passion in their lives which is tied to the dance, instead of glittering climax with b-boying battle scenes as expected. The film leads us to find another side of something that seems familiar to us. (SEOL Suan)
