Out of the context of the film, the songs aren't quite as cool, but still some good solid hiphop and a good rendition of "Happy Day." If you haven't seen the documentary, I highly recommend that -- it gets 5 stars.
March 17, 2006I have seen David LaChappelle's documentary film: 'RIZE' and was completely blown away by its presentation, artistic sensitivity, its exploration of body & soul and the marriage of both in rhythmic splendor; and too, in the surprising exposition of INTELLECT as expressed by its film dancers & characters, which bears out my premise that intellect is the 'diamond in the rough,' whereas intelligence is simply and affordably acquired. The people therein will serve as an inspiration to their generation and those to come, with their spiritual maturity, intellect, artistry, and 'rize' above environmental gravity. I do not know them personally, and it does take much to gain my respect, but I will say outrightly: I am proud of them! The very essence of survival, wisdom, battle fatigue, despair, death, and its rise over these crippling effects, are the fodder of which any aspiring writer or preacher could take for their next book or sermon. My respect goes out to them all. God bless them one and all.

At the beginning, I was perplexed and assumed they were on drugs or belong in a mental hospital. However, at the near end of the movie, it was based on their belief and completely respect that. An interesting movie, if you are openminded.
