Roll Bounce is a 2005 American drama directed by Malcolm D. Lee .
action
1978: Xavier Smith (or "X" for short) is the king of roller skaters in southern Chicago . He spends a lot of time with his friends on the Palisades Gardens roller skating rink. When the hall in which she is located is closed, the friends are left with no training opportunity. All they have left is one train in the north of the city, on which well-behaved boys and very attractive girls in mini skirts can be found. As the clique wants to take part in the annual Sweetwater Roller Jam competition, arguments break out.
criticism
“Director Malcolm D. Lee, cousin of Spike Lee, pays homage to a long time gone by, the time of Saturday Night Fever, when youth danced and celebrated to the music of the Bee Gees in the late 1970s. Lee, who was born in 1970, was only marginally aware of this as a young boy, which makes it all the more astonishing how precisely he captured the colorful roller skating scene of that time, with its bell-bottoms, platform shoes, headbands, polyester overalls and much more. Lee got technical advice for the virtuoso roller skating scenes from none other than Bill Butler, known as "The Godfather of the Roller Disco", who at the time created a new dance-influenced style of roller-skating, the Brooklyn Bounce.
