Normally I seldom post about what movie I watched with bunch of friends. Because in my perception, it's just a movie or drama for me and it will never mean a lot to me.But , this movie had changed my mind , I even felt guilty if I don't share it out with you all. This movie is very awesome , to me and to all the dancers, because you can really forgot every problems like loneliness , stress ,family pressure and etc. You can just be yourself ,just be the one when you listen to the music beat ,you dance with your steps ,and you can really enjoy it with your movements !

My friends were telling me how nice how awesome is this movie , but I still hardly to believe what they said to me , because I never watch Step Up & Step Up 2. So, I kept my views on the movie. 

Last night , before Merdeka I went to watch this movie with Cyclenz Crew & Huivoon. It was , really awesome to me! I can feel the heats ,the spirits ,the meaning of dancing !!

       ,

The beginning of this movie is talk about a film maker. He is Luke and he is recording a short film from his friends. Everyone of them are telling their perception about dancing like what's dancing mean to you or what can you get in dancing ,something like that. Everyone has different opinion about dancing , they shared out their heartfelt , their stories and why they will fall in love with dancing. A great beginning can made everyone curious about what is the next , always. 

                        

What's dancing means to you ? For me , I just like to watch my friends dancing. I could really enjoy with it. But for dancers , dancing means a lot for them. Studio , is second home for them. They could really find themselves back in turning their heads , spinning the body on the ground , shake it shake it or make a volley turn. 

Moose and Camille as they head to New York University for electrical engineering after he promising he will not dance anymore. But , he stumbles in a dance battle , meeting up with Luke and his house of The Pirates dance crew. 

                                                      

Luke and Natalie.He founds Natalie at his club and takes notices of her dancing abilities. Natalie is very talented in dancing so Luke enlisting her to become his crew member and hoping she can bring them to victory , against their rivals -The House of Samurai dance crew.

                         

They both are talented dancers. They always spend time on training , teaching each others for only get well preparation in the international dance competition.They share many intimate moments, such as standing above an air vent and blowing "slurpee bubbles" and also Luke explaining his true intentions with his recordings - he wants to start a course using his own dance video. But Luke is unaware of Natalie's true motivates.

                       

Yet, Natalie is hiding the truth that her brother is Julian , the captain of House of Samurai dance crew. She lies everything to Luke but the love connection between her and Luke. 

                 

I love this part. I can't forget how awesome is The Pirates routine in the second qualification match in the China Town to enter to the final. Moose is having exam on the exactly same day with the competition.He decided to go for exam but when he received Luke's message , he turned down his mind of sitting exam and rushes to the competition in the shortest time. 

                                

The water splashes everywhere when they doing quick movement. The background music is just nice when cooperated with their routine. Popping , animation and break dancing in the round area but filled with water.At last but not least , they won this match and got into the final showdown. 

                    

Natalie is facing a hard decision between her family and Luke. She decided to leave Luke but Jacob told her it will never be easy when you decide a decision. She choose to leave Luke because she has already fall in love with Luke. Yet , she is never supported her brothers Julian as well. On her birthday , Julian used Natalie's phone to send an invitation to Luke. Luke went in to search Natalie and he realize the identity of Natalie when Julian appeared in front of them. 

                                

Luke has lost all his confident that night , he got back and his House of Pirates has been brought back by bank. Julian has bought it. He just want Luke lose to him in the final showdown. Pirates has dismiss.

Moose and Camille are best friends but Moose doesn't seem to see that Camille is in love with him. The two fall out during the film because Moose lies to Camille about dancing and she feels like he can't talk to her anymore. Camille feels that Moose doesn't have time for her anymore and tells him she misses him and feels like he doesn't miss her at all. Moose tells Camille that he misses dancing but misses her more and that she is his best friend in the whole world.Moose apologized to Camille and he get forgiveness from Camille when she knows Moose is busy and why he was late to attend the party.

                               

 Moose went to see Luke , hoping he can get back with Pirates. He just refuse Moose and finally Luke was touched by Moose. Moose said to Luke , you just can't do well of a simple things , like you can't serve customers with Coffee with non-sugar.

Pirates has reunion at last. 

            

Natalie helps Luke to win the final showdown against with House of Samurai dance crew , where Julian born to be, with their routine they used to practiced at the last time. The reaction of judges are big , and Pirates worth to get $100millions so that they can redeem their House of Pirates.

                         

Natalie invites Luke to go California with her. They meeting each others at the train station. He kisses Natalie, Moose kisses Camille the following, showing her he does like her very much. Sweet enough. 

The end. 

*What a freaking long post !
