The film took a total of 250 hours of material, the latter part of the clip took two years. When editing, the director determined a central line of thought: to narrate strictly around the two protagonists, and delete all the content that is not closely related to the realization of the two Hoop Dreams, so the duration of the film is less than 170 minutes. Although, this makes many plots of the film lack continuity, such as the audience can't know when Gates got married and where his father went. But the choreographer believes that this is not necessarily related to the realization of Gates' Hoop Dreams. The director spends space to tell the story of Gates’ brother because he puts his unrealized ideal on his younger brother, showing that Gates’s Hoop Dreams is not just his own dream, so that the audience can appreciate what Gates has said. heavy pressure to bear force

The film has made me insightful again, and I feel all kinds of cuteness and helplessness in southern Chicago. But if I were to talk about racism, social class, and the educational system from an American perspective, I still felt that I was not enthusiastic politically, and I felt itchy. So as for my feelings, the "American Dream" is a little easier than the "Chinese Dream". Can you imagine that the protagonist of the story is a child from the Chinese urban-rural fringe who cannot afford to go to high school?

The two families place all their hopes on them. The pressure is too great and the risks are too high. With a knee injury, the whole family seemed to be deprived of hope.

William Gates: I give my mother $50 out of my checks. You know, all that she done done for me, I don't think that there'll ever be enough that I can give to pay her back. Unless I make the pros and I'm pretty sure I can pay her back.
