JP h @JohnnyHardboiled 10/15/2024 It's a fun little look into grafitti life and bombing. The central message was timeless, otherwise I'd give it 2 stars. It's about not being selfish and just helping others shine, and the main character has to realize his role, that it's not all about him even if he's 1 of the most skilled artists. He's just part of the atmosphere of things and helping the show and in the big picture the evolution of hip hop to what it would become, SADLY, but still it is what it is and it's the right advice to be happy. Lay back and be cool and happy with what you have even if the skills you have aren't very valued like Van Gogh during his time See more Torin F @nonlinearize 04/19/2023 It may not be a great movie, but WILD STYLE is undoubtedly an incredible cultural and historical artifact. See more 06/08/2017 This is a classic look at early rap, graffiti and breakdance culture in NYC, told from a slightly fictionalized perspective. We follow actual graffiti artist Lee Quinones as Zoro, who spends his nights creating art on the sides of subway cars and his issues with friends who want to make art for *gasp* ACTUAL MONEY instead of just passion. Great stuff and well worth the wait, I'm pleased to cross this one off the list of shame. Recommended. See more 07/20/2016 A docudrama about the early NY hip hop scene where folks essentially play themselves in a loose narrative about a graffiti artist reaching for success in his field. The acting is strictly amateur level, but the real draw here is some amazing musical performances by a bunch of seminal artists. If you're into any aspect of this culture, soaking up the extremely authentic street level ambiance is entertaining enough to carry you through a bit of patchy acting. See more 05/23/2014 Watched w/ C. Can see how it gave distribution of hip hop culture to a wider audience. Some generally fun scenes and great style. Good vibes throughout, but poor acting and narrative. See more 10/16/2013 A hip hop classic joint! This movie is great and has a classic story for back in the day. I highly recommend anyone into rap and hip hop check out this classic joint. It's about romance, the hip hop culture, & the love of rap music with an extremely positive vibe. This classic still stands the test of time. =) See more Read all reviews
