Extreme pictures
Extreme pictures genre is rather unordinary genre, more over it's the youngest genre of all existed. This picture genre appeared with growing up of intensity of the extreme sports' development and spreading. Such kinds of sport as high-jumping, snowboarding, kitting, windsurfing etc. appeared not so long ago and roused a great interest of youth. Teenager all over the world were fond of extreme-sport, learn the technique of performing different tricks so it was amassing and harmless for their health. The main idea of extreme-sport is getting the feeling of danger and extreme, risk and adrenalin, to harden their bodies, souls and characters. As these kinds of sport became so popular there appeared a reason to create movies based on the ideas of extreme-sport and tournaments of extreme-sport games that are held, and that is how the genre of extreme pictures appeared.
The pictures of this genre are produced for youth mostly, as in the base of these films the youth's interests are founded. The most popular kind of en extreme-sport is parqour. Parqour is the type of an extreme sport that is simply may be described as hurdle race. Such definition and description of parqour style is to elemental and is disable to describe all factors and sides of the parqour style. Parqour is a hurdle race without track, there is a track but as a track the whole city is represented with its houses, balustrades, stairs, towers and other buildings. The idea of the parqour extreme-sport is to surmount all the barriers they face to on their way to final destination point. Parqour is a sport that develops and harden both body and soul, one have to be skilful not only at physical trainings but also at managing of his soul and mind. To become a skilful parqourer you have to realise that there are no dead ends of the life there are only dead ends we imagine, and imagination is not a material thing so with the power of mind it may be changed and any obstacle or barrier can by surmounted.
The great director of our times Luke Besson produced the emblematic picture of the extreme movie genre, that film is "Yamakasi". "Yamakasi" is a bright example of the films of this genre, it describes the development and activity of French parqour team Yamakasi. Word yamakasi is translated as "brave with body and soul" and as you already now the strength of both body and soul is the main idea of parqour. So, "Yamakasi" is not only the extreme genre movie it's also in some sense may be defined as biography. It's the biography because the Yamakasi parqour team is not fictional one it's real-existing team of French parqourers that surmount any building that exists on their way, more over every member of this team is so skilful that they almost never get hurt. "Yamakasi" provoked popularity of this kind of sport and spread it all over the world. In my humble opinion if you are interested at sport at least for a pound you must watch this film as it's a classic of genre and probably the best film about parqour.
