DVD Reviews of Rize
DVD Review: Invaluable Insight into the Origins of these Modern Dance Forms
Summary: 5 Stars
What better way to understand krumping and clowning, then to go to South Central LA, to Tommy the Clown's academy, where it all started? Great insight, great dancing. It was just great.DVD Review: Overview
Summary: 5 Stars
I thank you for your prompt response in mailing the DVD to me. I look forward to buying from you in the future.DVD Review: RIZE
Summary: 5 Stars
this is one of the great dance movies of the last like 15 years in my opinion. it shows how dance can really affect a people and keep people out of trouble. it shows the relation between old and new, religion, spirituality, and so much more. it hits home for me. i grew in the era of battles and dance offs. but being from the city of chicago we didnt krump or clown it was all about the foot work. a high intensity, very fast dance the was based on quick and sharp movements of the feet and legs. a good example is the video for the song "watch my feet". and if the dancing dosent get u interested the hard bodies of the great dancers will!DVD Review: ONE OF THE BEST DOCU-FILMS EVER
Summary: 5 Stars
AS A DANCER AND DANCE EDUCATOR, I FOUND THIS FILM TO BE WONDERFUL, REALISTIC, ENTERTAINING AND EDUCATIONAL. IT IS ONE OF THE BEST DOCUMENTATIONS OF AMERICAN LIFE THERE IS. I HAVE USED IT IN MY CLASSROOM AS A COMPONENT TO TEACHING ABOUT SOCIAL AND SOCIETAL RELEVANCE, AND HOW IT RELATES TO THE LIVES MY STUDENTS/DANCERS. THANK YOU MR. LACHAPELLE FOR SHOWING MYSELF AND MY STUDENTS/DANCERS THAT NO MATTER YOUR CIRCUMSTANCE YOU CAN IN FACT "R I Z E"DVD Review: I just don't get it!? Someone explain this to me!
Summary: 3 Stars
I now own and have owned a video rental store for 15 years, I am viewing this film as I type this. I was awed and amazed by the first half of this video, the drive, the creativity, the energy, the positive attitudes. I was ready to rate this 5 Stars, thinking of offering a free rental of this inspiring film to my customers in order to share my admiration of the positive attitudes I was witnessing. I found myself wanting to help Tommy's efforts in some way, I was ready to buy copies of this DVD and send it to my son for his children to watch, hoping my grandchildren would be inspired by the dancing. I wish I had the words to be more eloquent in expressing my disappointment and confusion at the turn of events in this movie.
When they began the "BattleZone" I totally lost my admiration for the director of this so called "documentary". When I saw the one dancer kneel on the stage and lift his leg as if to urinate like a dog, I got a sick, sinking feeling. Why did they & Tommy the Clown turn this into a brutal contest? Isn't this just another type of gang activity? Honestly...I truly wish someone would explain this to me. Being a young white 59yr old woman, and the grandmother of 3 beautiful mixed grandchildren, I fear for their safety in anything they do. I'm trying hard to watch this film to the end, but I just do not understand the turn of events; the sadness I am seeing on this TV Screen.
Did I miss something important? Tommy lost his home because the Clowns won the contest? Sign me totally confused... I'm not sure why I am offering 3 Stars, I guess for Miss Prissy...
Description of Rize
RIZE (DVD MOVIE)The riveting documentary Rize explores the physically astounding Los Angeles worlds of clowning and krumping--both heightened and spectacular styles of hip-hop dance. With roots in breakdancing and the furious response to the Rodney King beating, clowning was launched by Tommy the Clown, a former drug runner turned children's-party-clown, with brightly colored jumpsuits and a psychedelic afro wig. To gather attention, Tommy began to gyrate and writhe in the street; before long, he was not only getting gigs, he'd inspired dozens of other clown groups, all with their own spin on face make-up and Tommy's dance moves. With a little cross-pollination from stripper dance moves and a good dose of aggression, clowning begat krumping, which resembles a cross between an epileptic seizure and ecstatic possession--what one practitioner calls "ghetto ballet." In addition to dancing that will make your eyes pop, Rize interviews dancers like Tight Eyez, La Nina, Lil C, and Miss Prissy, building a portrait of a subculture, culminating in a dance battle between clowns and krumps called BattleZone V. Directed by photographer and music video director David LaChappelle, Rize persuasively portrays these twin dance movements as not only a personal exorcism, but as the effort of a community to escape the corrosive forces of gangs and drugs. --Bret Fetzer
