Just saw Will Smith's latest movie, "Hitch", and though it might be appropriate to drop a few comments concerning it.
For those of who are unaware, "Hitch" is a romantic comedy where WS plays "The Date Doctor" . His character could be best described as PU consultant where he takes AFC who are all locked down onto one girl and creates a series of opportunites so as to get them. The movie eventually follows the typical romantic comedy formula where WS eventual falls for Eve Mendes and sheds his player image.
While very AFC, the story is not what is important. Throughout the film, WS really demonstrates the skills necessary to be a DJ. He is always dressed well, takes interest in the people around him, and comes across as someone who owns his own life and is not dependent on others.
I think in many ways, this is the most important part of being a DJ. WS is beholden to no one but himself. He makes his own rules and inspires the others around him to do them same. While he cheeses out in the end (as typical in these movies), the fact is he does it on his terms. The trapping of success that he demonstrates throughout (The hot chicks, the clothes, the awesome apartment) come from his ability to flaunt the rules and live on his own terms.
Beyond this, WS also gives some great examples of how to use C+F and Neg hits ( basically all the stuff he used in the bar in the first 15 minutes). While of course it just a movie, I think it does show some good example of how to DJ.
