Battle

There is no shame in being romantic! People have problems, youngsters get in love, rich adolescents behave in a certain way (and we all know how...), love doesn't know borders, and also, at a certain age, nothing matters but the own ideas. The boy breaking the party is a bit exaggerated, but we all know the youngsters are unpredictable... I loved immensely the dances and the characters; period! I have seen people giving 1-4/10 to this movie, and it's ok; kind of. I really don't expect too much of people, so I understand their frustration as this movie is no Star Wars. Or whatever other dumb movie. This is for us, and I hope we stand for it!

I want all of you to remember that im an old grumpy man, but i liked the mood and moves of this dancing hip-hop style movie.i did like to dance myself ,and that made me last through the whole movie. its about rich vs poor, west versus east(of the city), modern vs freestyle , posh vs trash and so on. as a former swimming coach i recon the worthyness of not going too ''special'' to meet the goals , rather use all the opportunities of physical workout from other sports or styles or activities to become a better and fitter performer of your speciality. loosen up may make you become the best the lovestory, being drawn between the rich and the poor have been played out in thousands of film, on a low budget production like this its pretty good performed and directed, the editing are good, the filming couldve been more advanced especially if using fly over camera rigs or even a dronecam would have ignited more energy out of the dancing. also letting the cast speak their own language with subtitles are very nice. dont mess with language ,its a great part of the culture. the cast are surprisingly good, at international standard really. i grew up with hip hop myself,and i liked to freestyle myself on the dance floor, though 80'ish style it was,but mygod i liked it and it made me even better as a competition swimmer , so go out and dans,dans,dans, till the battle is done. i recomend this film for the good message and a well told lovestory vs people and vs dancing......

I tried to get into the movie but the dancing was awful. When making a dancing movie it's an area you cant fail on and they did. I also found it boring and long I found myself distracted

*****spoiler alert***** The main character is selfish and entitled. Has no dancing skill. Cheats on boyfriend with a commoner, lies to both, learns nothing, apologises to the commoner via pretty poor modern dance routine, all is forgiven. Then end.

Battle has its clichés but it works emotionally. The juxtaposition of social classes in Battle is built with the usual caricatures: the wealthy appear vain, jealous and competitive while the regular people seen warmhearted, social and empathetic. Despite the simplifications, the main characters feel authentic and the story has a pleasant, slow and believable space. A lot of the story takes place within the characters. The final dance scene is very emotionally captivating and a beautiful finale to an otherwise slowly-evolving movie.
