Juggling in Movies
Bus 174 (2002)
[Documentary by José Padilha and Felipe Lacerda]
Brazil. Alternate title: Ónibus 174. On June 12, 2000, a young man tried to rob a bus in Rio de Janeiro and ended up in a hostage situation as the police SWAT team surrounded the bus. However the police at first fail to control the situation, allowing crowds of the public and the media to gather right outside the bus, putting the story at the top of every channel's output. The police gradually bring the situation outside under control but inside the bus things are only getting worse as the young man demands grenades, a rifle and a driver for the bus before starting to set deadlines for killing the passengers one by one.
At 18:12, 3 boys juggle at a traffic stop for tips. One stands on the
shoulders of the other two and juggles 4 balls for 12 seconds, while one
of the lower boys juggles 3 balls, but drops. 20 seconds later, the
boy that was on top is now on the shoulders of one of the other boys,
again juggling 4 balls, while the third boy juggles 3 balls, seen for
14 seconds.
