The narrator's cheerful, energetic voice combined with the ballet of machinery, not to mention the product that's being manufactured which has never failed to fascinate.....oh and don't forget the Moog soundtrack???-"Two tumbs uuuuup!"

IMDB user review:

10 Stars

Not only is this movie about dancing and ballet, but it is also about Christianity and bringing people closer to God.This movie completely changed my life and my relationship with God. My friends and I were the only people in the entire theater building, even though it's usually packed. We think that means something. And at the end of the movie my friend sort of blacked out and saw God. I felt someone embrace me. AKA God! So if you have any rude or bad comments, keep them to yourself. You don't need to express your different religious beliefs on a Christian movie review.This is a fantastic movie. So, please go see the movie! It has a powerful, amazing message for everyone!

The popularity of an event doesn't make it a game or not. My little comments on VS aren't going to affect anyone's enjoyment of it.>> ^entr0py:

It's not a game either if you have to wear make-up and look pretty to win. Anything with an aesthetics component to the mark isn't a sport or a game. It's an art. Like ballet. And this art is scary and ugly.
You know that would include all figure skating, the most popular event of the Winter Olympics. Let them have their fun, and let us not feel obligated to care about it. That's my attitude to all sports and dancing.

I don't understand how some of these sports are still considered sports.
dressage, synchronized swimming, floor exercises.... It's ridiculous

I thought these were games, not sports... I don't remember it being called Olympic Sports, just Olympic Games

Gone. It's athletic, but so is ballet. If it has music, it's out. If it has pretty props, it's out. If the athletes are expected to make delicate hand movements, dance steps, or bow after, it's out. If aesthetics make up any part of the final assessment, it's out.>> ^ant:

Hahah! That sport was the laughing stock of the Olympics. Any sport that requires you to look good doing it isn't a sport. Period. Those aren't athletes. They're dancers. Glad they're gone. Figure skating should be next.

How about gymnastics?

^ Will a poem do?

The standard model of particles, founded 50 years ago,
By abdus salam, steve weinberg and sheldon glashow.

They theorised three new forces, through which we used to find.
That gravity isn't the only all pervading influence of its kind.

The strong force exchanges gluons, of nuclear design.
Forgive the sense of humour, science needs a focused mind.

Before that comes the weak force, which must be overcome,
To fuse elements together and create a heavier one.

E-M forces follow; with yet a greater range,
"Quantum electrodynamics" uses photons to exchange.

Gravity we discovered first, Newton lead the way.
Applying it to the planets to map the celestial ballet.

From the smallest to the largest, we arrive at the present day.
The "Theory of Almost Everything"; so close yet so far away.

(Needs a bit of work!)

Hey! Thanks!

First time I've thought of breakdancing as equivalent to ballet.

Wondering when the last time anyone here's been to the symphony or ballet. Other than an occassional one-off cheap/free show for poor kids, tickets are still in the 100's of dollars, especially at Disney Hall. So, tax breaks for organizations who still charge outrageous prices to hear music written by dead people, is very odd.


The only symphonies I've ever attended have been the free ones provided by the San Francisco Symphony. To see why people deserve a tax break for contributing to them, check out the fact sheet about them here that demonstrates some of the great things they do with the money. Note that their concert hall, Davies Symphony Hall was constructed entirely through donations and is owned by the city of San Francisco (which contributed $10 million to the construction).

I swear I've seen this before here on VideoSift but I cannot seem to find it. I dunno, upvote!

One question for you, Sarzy. You say this film is a milestone. I'm sure you're right. Can you tell me why this film is a milestone?


Because the fight choreography and direction are peerless; the film's fight scenes easily rival anything that I've ever seen, and I've seen my share of action movies.

Because the critical consensus is that it's an instant classic.

Because it's breaking through into the mainstream more than any martial arts film I can think of since Ong Bak.

Because it is awesome.

Some quotes from reviews:

David Fear -- Time Out: And in terms of beautifully coordinated film violence—the kind involving flying fists and feet, whizzing blades and ballistic superbattles—Gareth Evans’s insta-classic Indonesian crime flick is leagues above every kinetic bullet-ballet and martial arts epic of the past decade. Whether this 31-year-old Welsh director will eventually be mentioned in the same breath as legendary chaos orchestrators like Sam Peckinpah or John Woo remains to be seen. For now, Evans can take pride in the fact that he’s set the bar for cinemayhem impossibly high.

Andrew O'Hehir -- Salon: “The Raid” is a witty, pulse-pounding instant midnight classic, an immediate sensation at the Sundance and Toronto festivals that should appeal to cinema buffs, action freaks and a pretty large mainstream audience besides. It offers some of the best Asian martial-arts choreography of recent years and an electric, claustrophobic puzzle-palace atmosphere that’ll leave you wrung out and buzzed.

Ty Burr -- Boston Globe: Not yet 30, Evans is a master of visceral tension and release. “The Raid’’ repeatedly slows down, gathers force, and rushes forward using all the elements of filmmaking at a director’s disposal: editing’s ability to expand and contract time; the camera’s gift for revealing information through motion and light; a good musical score (by Joseph Trapanese and Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda) that can cue audiences to respond or just play with their heads. At times, “The Raid’’ feels like pure cinema.

Nordling -- Ain't it Cool: Then, there are the action sequences, which are so exquisitely orchestrated that they build like a symphonic suite of pain and kickassocity. This movie builds and builds, each fight even bigger than the one before it. I can't imagine an audience that won't be on their feet for some of them - and the action choreography is damn near perfect, with cinematography to match. Sure, there's some shakycam, but it's only to build the intensity because Uwais and director Gareth Evans have planned each fight so well that it's never confusing, not once. The geography is flawless. The film wisely lays out the building early on, so that you unconsciously understand where everyone is in the building and even in the same room. I haven't seen such confident action direction since John Woo unleashed the doves in THE KILLER and, yeah, HARD BOILED.

Have not seen such beautiful pirouette since Baryshnikov at Bolshoi.

May red car spin the first cog of new renaissance in Russian Ballet just like it did on icy road.
