There's better writing in this video than anything that's come out of hollywood in a decade. Don't believe me? Let me break it down into a monomyth:
- The heroes lives in comfort. One thief uses his busking skills to lead off the merchant so they can lift some chips.
- The hero is challenged. The comfortable world of an easy snatch and grab is thrown off by an armed robber
- The heroes are forced to confront an unthinkable challenge.
- The hero's darkest hour. The narrative lingers to give the audience a feeling of suspense and dread as the robbers watch and choose to be good guys
- Catharsis! The heroes use a diversionary tactic to knock the armed robber off his feet and to disarm him
- We see the tragic cost of victory. They suceed in grabbing some chips, and their reputation is never the same.
I feel like I've seen this video before, what's happening there?
2 unrelated things. The first guy is distracting the clerk so their colleague can steal, some guy comes in with a shotgun, and they make a plan to distract him. The person stealing before rolls their skateboard, their colleague goes down another aisle to come up behind the guy, and ends up tackling him and giving the robbers gun to the clerk.
2 unrelated things. The guy at the counter is robbing the place, the person in the chips aisle uses it as an opportunity to steal, but then sees the gun and uses their skateboard to create a distraction. Then the other person comes over and tackles the guy with a gun, thief pulls a shelf down on the robber, and gives the gun to the cashier.
This was excellent!
