Falanga, George of Jungle Movement

The scene in which George walks in on a dance class and plays the drums and dances around contains many forms of movement. The camera closes in on George's hands which are banging the drums, then goes chaotically around the room while spinning and going upside down to illustrate the moves of the dancers. This type of sporadic yet rhythmic movement that seems chaotic is a portrayal of how George lives his life in the jungle, which may seem chaotic but has a rhythm and beat with harmonious parts to it. The seemingly barbaric lifestyle of George which may seem like running around is actually movement with a tempo, much like the way he plays the bongos and dances in this quick scene. The ballet dancers are swiftly circling and moving around using all parts of there body whilst the camera goes crazy and even tilts upside down a few times to convey this craziness that is still fun and enjoyable from the mood given as the music is quick yet uplifting and the dancers smile and jump with much energy and enthusiasm. The chaos evident in the scene still has a purposeful flow in that even though it may seem unordered, it is still giving a message of control because everyone's happiness and energy that is lead by George. This chaos is illustrated as a good thing and shows George's character not one of uncontrollable barbaric image but as a different means for being high spirited and living life. The movement in this scene captivates George's mode of chaos and rapid pace as something positive and fun loving not different and foolish.
