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

(No ratings for documentary) There is no heaven in the world, and it is fortunate for some people to be born ten feet above hell. Another reason I don’t like to watch documentaries is that I am too unfamiliar with the way it creates dreams (yes, documentaries are also dreams—or flickering). I don’t like the feeling of being fooled.

Watching NBA players now is mostly an inspirational story, but in real life, it’s more about the group of people in the documentary; it’s also a story of juvenile growth that took time to film. The director later said that he regretted not filming them after they entered college. s story

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.
