Young dancers in pursuit of their dream in the face of cold reception in 'Planet B-Boy'
Ecosystem in the North Pole suffering from rising temperature in 'Tears in the Arctic'
It is a precious experience to see a well-made documentary because it depicts a real life of humans or animals that get through the day somewhere in the earth.
Coming to theaters on Oct. 15 are two documentary films 'Planet B-Boy' on B-boys and 'Tears in the Arctic' on life in the North Pole.
'Planet B-Boy' keeps its audiences riveted to the screen during the running time of 95 min. Dazzling and dynamic performances by best b-boys and their passion and sacrifices for dance despite chilly reception on them touch the heart of audiences.
Korean American director Benson Lee decided to produce the movie after he spotted one b-boy battle. 'Planet B-Boy' follows preliminary rounds, preparations, final contents and a story a year later. Dance is just a dance or special talent to some but it is a reason and a goal of life to b-boys.
The film takes place in '2005 Battle of the Year (BOTY)', an annual B-boy world cup held in Braunschweig, Germany in October. The winners of national titles at the elimination rounds held at the country level join continental competition. Then survivors of those competitions are allowed to take part in the final battle. The movie shows that race and economic hardship seem trivial when it comes to passion of break dancers for dance and their sweats. Moreover, it treats audiences to their marvelous dance moves. It also features 'Gamblers' the winner of BOTY 2004 and 'Last 4 One' the champion of BOTY 2005.
'Tears in the Arctic' is an 81min movie based on 3-part documentary series commemorating the 47th anniversary of MBC. Its sound track was recorded using an orchestra befitting the big screen. Seasons were reorganized and editing was done for screening. Its grand sound and high definition film are noticeable. What matters, though, is that the message of the film lingers long.
The Inuit in the North Pole cuts a whale into pieces and share it on the spot after hunting it. Some say the native people are cruel seeing the captured bleeding whale. Hunting a whale is part of the order of nature and a way of life. What is cruel is selfishness of advanced countries that remain on the sidelines when it comes to global warming and dismiss and mask it in the name of civilization. Global warming causes ice cap in the North Pole to melt, which threatens the life of nearly all living creatures in the region including not only the Inuit but also seals dependent on the iceberg for breathing as well as polar bears which eat them. The current situation leaves us not many options but to see how living species in the North Pole survive through the screen.
